Chapter 696

Slipping the phone into his pocket, Sumner approached Domenic, positioning himself squarely before him.

Domenic, furrowing his brow, squinted at the man standing before him.

Why was he here?

Carole saw a handsome man pausing before Domenic, offering a subtle smile.

Domenic’s countenance remained stern, and his eyes radiated hostility.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Carole inquired, “Domenic, who is he?”

Pursing his lips, Domenic glanced at Sumner and replied, “He is the well-known domestic director Vincent’s godson.

We’ve crossed paths a few times, but we’re not acquainted.

Sumner’s name went unmentioned, underscoring Domenic’s indifference.

Carole nodded, but she sensed an undeniable tension between them, akin to that of adversaries.

Lowering his head, Sumner sneered before meeting Domenic’s piercing gaze.

“Does Lindsey know about your dinners alone with another woman?”

Domenic’s brow furrowed.

“Lindsey?” Carole was taken aback.

It was a woman’s name.

What was her connection to Domenic?

After a brief pause, Domenic gazed earnestly at Carole’s confused face.

He then turned his attention to Sumner, saying coldly, “Who is Lindsey? I apologize, Mr.

Lawson, but that name doesn’t sound familiar to me.

”

Sumner was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting this kind of denial.

Sumner had always considered the man before him untrustworthy, a sentiment that solidified when he sensed his dishonesty.

“Are you serious? Lindsey is your girlfriend.

How can you deny knowing her when there’s another woman around you?”

Sumner’s anger started to bubble up.

Lindsey had suffered for him, defying her mother.

Moreover, his indifference during the fire and even pretending not to know her in front of another woman today made it all feel like a cruel joke!

It seemed all of Lindsey’s genuine love for Domenic had been for nothing!

Despite his usual grace, Sumner glared at Carole, visibly shocked, and said, “Just so you know, the man beside you has a girlfriend.

You’re essentially the third party in this situation, okay?”

Carole was left speechless.

Could Domenic actually be involved with someone else? She wondered why his grandfather hadn’t informed her.

Maybe even his grandfather didn’t know about it.

“I have no clue about what you’re trying to say, Mr.

Lawson.

And I certainly don’t recognize the name you mentioned,” Domenic retorted sharply, stepping in to shield Carole.
