Chapter 865
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
This time, she dropped a compliment about Domenic for a reason.
After all, if Jordan wasnât pleased with him, Domenic wouldnât have the chance to take over Walsh Group.
But Luckily, Jordan wasnât really disappointed with him.
He just wanted to test and keep him in line.
While holding Caroleâs hand, Jordan spoke softly.
âI didnât share this with anyone.
I trust you, so Iâm telling you.
Keep it between us, especially from Domenic.
You know if he follows my lead, heâll marry you.
â
Carole got it, of course.
She also knew Jordan spilled the beans because he was confident she wouldnât spill them to anyone else.
Glancing at Jordan, she quickly made the cross my heart gesture and promised, âNo worries, I wonât spill the beans! Letâs keep it as our little secret!â

Caroleâs thoughtfulness pleased Jordan greatly.
He nodded with a smile.
Then, she helped him lie down and said, âYou better get some good rest.
Iâll make some soup for you at home.
You can have it when you wake up.
Sound good?â
Jordan just nodded, feeling pretty pleased with Caroleâs consideration.
He could totally trust a woman like her to be Domenicâs wife.
Once Domenic got back to the company, he wasted no time in checking Hendrixâs investigation.
Just like Mercer had mentioned, Lindnita Artists Agency was in big trouble as all the partners wanted out of the contract.
The agency was in a real tight spot.
ALL of this went down after Domenic went abroad, but during that time, Lindsey never brought up anything about the troubles facing her agency to him.
When he mentioned it with doubt, she had still acted like nothing had happened and insisted that everything was fine.
Was it because Lindsey saw him as too unreliable that she would rather deal with it on her own than ask him for help?
Domenic seemed pretty down.
If his grandpa was behind it, he couldnât just openly help Lindsey.
He was in a tough situation.
Just then, Hendrix called him and said abruptly, âMr.
Walsh, I just got some urgent news! Lindsey and Sumner got into a car accident when theyâ¦â
âWhat are you saying?â Before Hendrix could finish his words, Domenic cut in abruptly.
âDid Lindsey get into a car accident? How is she doing? Where is she?â
Hendrix took a deep breath, the weight of his words heavy in the air.
âThere is nothing dire with Lindsey.
She should soon be discharged from the hospital.
However, Sumnerâs condition is bleak.
His leg has been permanently disabled.
Besides, itâs justâ¦â He hesitated, sensing the tension in the room.
Domenicâs voice cut through the silence, demanding, âSpeak!â
Hendrix swallowed his hesitation.
âOn the day of the accident, Lindsey and Sumner had met at an grill, known for its romantic atmosphere set atop the hill.
â
The word âromanticâ hung awkwardly in the air, the discomfort palpable.
Hendrix went on, âSumner had reserved an entire grill for the occasion.
They spent the evening together, watching the meteor shower.
The grill owner noted their intimacy, mistaking them for a couple.
â
Domenicâs grip tightened around the phone, tension coursing through his veins.
After a pregnant pause, he spoke in a low, cold tone.
âWhere is Lindsey now?â
âIn Morcastle General Hospital.
â
Domenic leaned back, his voice barely above a whisper.
âYou said Lindsey is well enough for discharge.
Are you certain?â
âYes,â Hendrix affirmed.
Despite her recovery, Lindsey hadnât returned home.
She claimed to be busy and unable to come home for a few days.
Was she staying at the hospital to care for Sumner?
