Chapter 797

She hoped Lindsey would see the truth and remove herself from Domenic’s life for good.

After Domenic departed, Lindsey drifted off to sleep, worn out from her demanding job.

The following day was just as hectic.

Nancy was away from the office on a business meeting, leaving her to tackle a morning full of phone calls and discuss Xiomara’s future endeavors with Selah over Lunch.

Then, an afternoon guest arrived.

It was Sumner, clad in a sharp white suit and with his hair styled to perfection, looking every bit the star ready for the red carpet.

“Sumner, why so dressed up? Got a special event tonight?”

Sumner arched an eyebrow and responded, “It’s for Carole’s engagement party.

Aren’t you coming?”

After a brief pause, Lindsey exclaimed, “Oh! I nearly forgot!”

It was already halfway past five, but there was just enough time to get ready.

If not for Sumner’s reminder, she would have missed Carole’s engagement celebration, a thought that troubled her since she had promised to attend.

Just then, Nancy walked in, teasing Sumner about looking ready for his own wedding.

Sumner replied, “I’ve got to look my best, going to a party with my dear agent.

”

Lindsey realized then that Sumner was also invited by Carole.

“What party?” Nancy asked with a mix of curiosity and intrigue.

Recalling Carole’s request for secrecy, Lindsey lied as she said, “Oh, it’s just a gathering hosted by a producer.

Sumner’s the guest of honor, and I’m tagging along as his agent.

”

She then handed off her responsibilities to Nancy and left with Sumner.

Nancy, however, couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to their departure than met the eye.

The Emperor Hotel, renowned as the most Luxurious hotel in town, was owned by the Vitality Group.

Its top-floor grand banquet hall, adorned in a contemporary and elegant design, shone brightly with immaculate crystal chandeliers.

The tables were decorated with exquisite Juliet roses, indicating the high caliber of the evening’s elite gathering.

The hall buzzed with the country’s leading businessmen mingling in small groups.

Among them were Brady, the patriarch of the Lawson family, and his wife, Rachel.

“Jordan is quite fond of his grandson.

It’s intriguing to see the woman who has won his grandson’s heart and is deemed suitable to join their family.

”

As wealthy businessmen and their spouses conversed, the entrance of the hall opened, drawing all eyes to it.

A young lady entered gracefully, escorted by a vigorous elderly man.
