Chapter 685

Then, with a glance at Selah behind Sumner, Lindsey called out, “Selah!” She gracefully maneuvered past Sumner, heading straight for Selah.

In contrast, Sumner’s expression darkened instantly.

Turning away, he watched Lindsey’s departure, a sense of unease settling in his heart.

Her seeming indifference struck him as unfamiliar, especially after not seeing her for a few days.

He pondered whether something he’d said had upset her earlier, even though he was the one who had rescued her from the fire.

Approaching Selah, Lindsey closed the distance between them.

Vincent’s movie had recently commenced shooting, and Selah remained dedicated to the crew, resulting in their prolonged separation.

Taking hold of Lindsey’s hand, Selah’s countenance portrayed concern.

“Linds, I saw the news about your mother’s accident.

What happened?

I’ve been swamped lately and couldn’t check on you.

Are you okay?”

Selah’s genuine care warmed Lindsey’s heart.

She smiled in response and said, “Let’s talk in my office.

”

Together, they made their way into Lindsey’s office, closing the door behind them.

Meanwhile, Sumner slowly clenched his fists, a sudden tension gripping him.

“Sumner, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale all of a sudden?” Xiomara asked, her gaze fixed on Sumner, unable to shake off the feeling that something was off.

“Nothing,” Sumner replied coldly, striding toward the training classroom.

Xiomara pursed her lips and followed him inside.

In Lindsey’s office, she briefed Selah on the incident in broad strokes.

A flicker of anger flashed across Selah’s face upon hearing Lindsey’s account.

“Kendra is so hateful.

Thankfully, the police found evidence to convict her.

She deserves nothing less than the death penalty.

”

“Kendra is still pregnant.

I doubt she’ll face the death penalty; perhaps a life sentence.

”

A shadow crossed Lindsey’s face as memories of deep wounds resurfaced.

Preferring not to dwell on them, she changed the subject.

“Selah, you’re usually busy with the crew.

What brings you here today?”

“I requested two days off from the crew because I wanted to see you, and… my divorce trial with Andrew starts tomorrow,” Selah explained.

“Tomorrow?” Lindsey was taken aback.

Recent events had slipped her mind.

She hurriedly checked her schedule.

“I’ll review tomorrow’s arrangements…”

“Linds, you needn’t come if you’re busy.

Don’t worry.

With Mr.

Reece Barton, everything will be fine,” Selah reassured her, casting a gentle glance at Lindsey.

Reece Barton was an exceptional lawyer whose services weren’t simply bought.

With him handling the case, Selah would definitely win.

“After the trial, let’s invite Mr.

Barton to dinner as a token of our gratitude.
