Chapter 747

Additionally, that necklace came with a hefty price tag.

Was it paid for with company funds? The Walsh Group’s fundamental rule was never to embezzle money from the company.

Jordan’s eyes grew somber, mirroring a chilling intensity reminiscent of Domenic’s.

Around three in the morning, Domenic returned home.

His recent routine involved dining with his grandpa in the evenings, then returning to the office, citing business preoccupations.

Aware of his grandfather’s watchful eye, Domenic could only slip home late at night.

Even though he had moved as quietly as possible, Lindsey emerged from the bedroom just a moment later.

Domenic, a bit startled, hastened over.

“Did I wake you?”

“No, I just couldn’t sleep deeply.

” Lindsey drifted into a half- slumber, her thoughts weighing on her.

Glancing at the clock, Domenic suggested, “It’s still quite early.

Try to sleep a bit more.

”

“Are you hungry? I can warm up something for you.

”

Domenic intercepted Lindsey as she moved towards the kitchen, playfully tapping her nose.

“I’m not hungry, so don’t fuss.

Go back to bed.

Otherwise, you’ll struggle to get up in the morning.

”

He gently took Lindsey’s hand and led her back to the bedroom, but upon noticing her still standing there, lost in thought, he couldn’t resist asking, “What’s bothering you?”

Lindsey was restless, unable to sleep without an explanation about the necklace.

They had made a pact to always be truthful with each other, fueling her curiosity about the necklace’s origin.

Quietly, she presented him with the auction site, waiting for his response.

Domenic was taken aback to see she had discovered the site.

Breaking the silence, Lindsey pressed, “Is the diamond in my necklace the same as the one on this website?”

Domenic, caught off guard, asked, “How did you come across this site?”

Her suspicion grew as he dodged her question, but she calmly replied, “I bumped into your cousin at today’s shoot.

She sent me the Link.

Is this diamond really worth a billion dollars? How did you afford it?”

Domenic’s eyes narrowed in surprise, pondering the chance encounter with Carole.

He mulled over what Carole might know about Lindsey and him.

Lindsey, growing impatient, urged, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Domenic sighed, gently placing his hands on her shoulders.

He looked into her eyes and said with sincerity, “Linds, I’m sorry.

You know, this diamond is pretty, and I really wanted to give it to you.

The real thing was just too pricey, so.

I got a fake one instead.

Please don’t be mad.

I promise, one day I’ll get you the real deal.

”

Lindsey’s tension eased upon hearing this.

The thought of accepting an expensive diamond necklace had been overwhelming for her.
