Chapter 737
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
As she expected, Kristyâs smile vanished, and she retorted sharply, âYouâre talking about the two talents Lindsey introduced? Pure chance, thatâs all.
â
Carole continued, âSo, Ms.
Chase, youâre acquainted with Lindsey? She seems quite diligent.
And that red diamond necklace she wears is quite valuable.
If itâs a gift from her boyfriend, sheâs certainly lucky in love and career.
â
âYouâre overthinking it.
Let me break it down for you.
Lindsey is just pathetic!â Kristyâs voice dripped with disdain.
Upon hearing this, Caroleâs curiosity was piqued.
She quickly asked, âWhat exactly are you saying?â
Kristy gestured for her to lean in and murmured, âLindseyâs secretly entangled with someone from a rich family.
â
âWhat?â A sudden realization struck Carole.
Could she be right in her assumption? Was Domenic defying his grandfatherâs wishes by secretly seeing someone?
âHa, Lindseyâs completely clueless, thinking her manâs just a regular, hardworking guy.
â Kristyâs voice was dripping with disdain and a touch of gloating.
âServes her right.
Sheâs been duped and hasnât even caught on.
â
âYouâre aware of who her boyfriend really is?â Caroleâs suspicions grew stronger with Kristyâs response.
âIâve heard rumors that heâs the Walsh familyâs heir.
Wealthy, young, and better looking than any celebrity.
â As she mentioned Domenic, a faint blush tinged Kristyâs cheeks.
Carole felt a heavy weight in her chest as she listened.
The young, attractive, and wealthy Walsh family heir? In her mind, Domenic was the only one who matched that description.
Could it really be him?
Her hands tightened into fists.
With a strained smile, she said, âSo, she has such a powerful boyfriend and still works so hard.
Quite remarkable.
â
âI told you Lindsey is a fool.
â Kristy boasted with satisfaction, âSheâs clueless about her boyfriendâs true identity, or maybe he prefers keeping it a secret.
I bet heâs just toying with her and isnât serious!â
âIs that soâ¦â Carole pondered deeply.
Had Domenic concealed his true identity from Lindsey? Was he merely toying with her?
Yet, despite these doubts, Carole couldnât bear the thought of Domenic with someone else.
She wanted him to completely belong to her alone.
Carole forced herself to stay calm.
How could Lindsey dare compete with her for his affection? After all, she was supposed to be his fiancée.
She was determined to remove Lindsey from the picture completely!
Later that day, Lindsey reserved a table at an upscale restaurant and even pre-ordered a cake to celebrate with Sumner and Xiomara.
The restaurant was quite a distance away, so they drove there.
Sumner took the driverâs seat.
As Xiomara reached for the back door, Lindsey intervened, âRemember you get motion sick.
Take the front seat instead to avoid feeling dizzy.
â
âIâ¦â Xiomara was initially puzzled, but a quick wink from Lindsey made her grasp the situation.
Was Lindsey trying to avoid sitting too close to Sumner?
With understanding, Xiomara turned to Sumner and said, âCan I sit up front with you?â
Sumner responded without much interest, âSure.
â
Right after getting into the car, Lindsey swiftly pulled the curtain that separated the front and back seats, effectively putting Sumner and Xiomara in their own little world.
She aimed to give them more opportunities to bond, hoping Sumner might notice Xiomaraâs charm and grow to like her.
