Chapter 697

“Many women are interested in me.

Perhaps this Lindsey is one of those annoying women.

However, I assure you I don’t know her, nor do I know who she is.

Ms.

Larson and I are merely acquaintances.

Please refrain from making baseless accusations, or my lawyer will be in touch.

”

Enraged, Sumner attempted to throw a punch at Domenic, but his arm was swiftly caught and deflected, sending him staggering back.

He looked at Carole, clad in designer attire, and shot Domenic a furious look.

“Lindsey is an annoying woman? You’re nothing but a man relying on a wealthy woman.

How can you even suggest such a thing?”

Relying on a wealthy woman? Carole struggled to associate the dignified and attractive man before her with such descriptions.

Was there some sort of misunderstanding here?

And who exactly was this Lindsey person?

Domenic clenched his hands and faced Sumner, trying to keep his cool.

“I get that you got me wrong, but I won’t stand for slander.

Keep it up, and I’ll have to involve the authorities!”

He was aware that today’s debacle would require elaborate explanations later.

And if Lindsey ever got wind of it, she’d be upset, demanding considerable effort to regain her trust.

He needed to distance himself from Lindsey in front of Carole, who was chosen by his grandfather.

The stakes were too high for any other option.

Sumner stood there, seething, unable to utter a word.

Pretending that he didn’t want to talk to Sumner anymore, Domenic turned around and said to Carole, “Let’s go.

”

With that, he marched off, Carole in tow, who asked, “Domenic, shouldn’t we wait for your grandpa?”

Domenic didn’t reply but left the restaurant quickly.

Once they were gone, Sumner was left alone, watching their retreating figures.

He reached for his phone, contemplating sending Lindsey the photo he’d snapped to unveil Domenic’s actions.

But would Lindsey even believe him if he sent such a picture out of the blue? During a recent hospital visit, Sumner had badmouthed Domenic, which clearly angered Lindsey.

And it was evident she didn’t really heed his warning.

Lindsey might suspect he was trying to drive a wedge between her and Domenic.

After a moment of indecision, Sumner pocketed his phone, resolved to gather more solid proof to expose Domenic without leaving any room for excuses.

When the driver stopped at Jordan’s residence, Jordan and Carole, arm in arm, exuded the warmth of a grandfather and granddaughter and walked towards the house.

Domenic, trailing behind, cast a quick glance at his watch.

Upon entering the living room, Carole began brewing tea with the poise of someone who belonged there.

After the tea was ready, she gracefully offered a cup to Jordan on bended knee.

“During my time overseas, many praised my tea-making skills.

Mr.

Walsh, as a professional, I’d love for you to try it.

”

Jordan beamed with pride at his prospective granddaughter-in-law, his smile unwavering.

He savored the tea’s delicate aroma and exquisite flavor, visibly pleased.

“Grandpa, there are pressing matters at the office I must…” Domenic said, attempting to excuse himself.

Before he could finish his words, Jordan was quick to interrupt, “Stay for the night, don’t leave now.

The business is always there.
