Chapter 665

“Carole, what time’s your flight? When will you arrive? I’ll have someone pick you up at the airport.

”

“Mr.

Walsh, something urgent came up at school.

I can’t go back until a few days from now.

And don’t bother sending someone; I can just take a taxi.

” A sweet-Like-honey feminine voice came from the other end of the line.

Jordan chuckled lightheartedly.

“It’s no trouble at all.

You’re my future granddaughter-in-law, and I know it wasn’t easy for you to come back after all these years.

There’s no way I’ll let you take a taxi! Please, it’s the least I can do.

”

The woman smiled and asked softly, “Does Domenic know that I’ll be back soon?”

“I haven’t told him yet.

I want to surprise him when you come back.

”

“Well, I hope it won’t be too much of a shock for him to see me,” the woman said half-jokingly.

“Of course not! I know Domenic very well.

He hasn’t had a girlfriend ever since you left.

He’s been waiting for you all these years,”

Jordan reassured her earnestly.

The woman chuckled.

“Haha, I see.

”

Sitting in the taxi with Leonel, Lindsey kept thinking about the last thing Kendra said.

Her victory was only because she had aligned with the wealthy and she had received the help of that man?

But despite racking her brains for a long time, Lindsey couldn’t think of anyone who was as powerful as Kendra claimed.

So, who on earth was Kendra referring to? Or could she have misunderstood something?

Seeing the tight frown on Lindsey’s face, Leonel asked, “What’s wrong, Linds? You’ve been quiet ever since we left the police station.

”

“Kendra said that I only defeated her because I hooked up with a rich and powerful man.

” Lindsey came to her senses and looked at Leonel earnestly.

She had nothing to hide from her brother.

“A rich and powerful man?” Leonel grinned and teased her, “Lindsey, are you dating two men at the same time?”

“Leonel!” Lindsey gently punched his arm, feeling speechless.

“Hey, I was just kidding.

” Leonel raised his hands in surrender.

“I know my sister’s not that kind of person.

Anyway, there’s no need to think about it too much.

Gold diggers like Kendra tend to project their own despicable and opportunistic nature onto others.

”

“But…” Lindsey continued earnestly, “I’ve suspected for a while now that someone has been helping me in secret.

At first, I thought it was you and Mom, but this time, it’s different.

”

“Do you think it’s your boyfriend that’s helping you?” Leonel thought of the way Peter looked at Domenic at the station.

It seemed that Peter respected-and even feared—Domenic.

But Lindsey simply burst into laughter.

“Leonel, stop teasing me! If it was really him, he’d just tell me.

Why would he keep it a secret?”

“Who knows what goes on in that guy’s head?” Leonel muttered crossly.

“Leonel, he isn’t who you think he is.

He promised me that he wouldn’t hide anything from me.

And I trust him.

”

Leonel didn’t know what to say when he saw the confident, determined look on Lindsey’s face.
