Chapter 895

Not only did he harbor no romantic feelings for Lindsey, but even if he did, he wouldn’t dare challenge Domenic for her affections.

Besides, if he truly had feelings for Domenic’s woman, he wouldn’t have stood idly by while Carole became Domenic’s fiancée.

A flicker of sadness crossed his face.

Carole, taken aback by his forceful denial, shot him a wounded look.

“I was just asking.

No need to get so defensive.

”

Meanwhile, Domenic kept his gaze fixed on Reece, his expression unfriendly.

Reece forced a smile and quickly explained, “Miss Stewart and I have a purely professional relationship tied to legal services.

She invited me here today to express gratitude for a previous case and discuss another lawsuit for which she seeks my assistance.

“Another Lawsuit? What is it about?” Carole’s curiosity was piqued.

Just as Reece was about to speak, Domenic interjected coldly, halting whatever Reece intended to say next.

Reece was momentarily surprised but swiftly grasped the situation.

He smiled at the others and remarked, “Domenic is correct.

As long as Domenic remained unable to let go of Lindsey, Carole’s status as his wife was uncertain.

She needed to claim Domenic’s body and soul entirely as her own, which meant eliminating Lindsey from the equation.

While Carole’s thoughts raced, Domenic rose from his seat and casually announced, “I’ll step outside to make a phone call.

”

Carole watched him depart, her lips bitten tightly.

He must be using the excuse to seek out Lindsey!

As she prepared to rise and follow, Reece intervened.

“I don’t think Domenic appreciates being followed when he makes calls, Carole.

”

Reece’s remark immediately pacified Carole’s agitated heart, prompting her to sit back down and regard Reece.

“Holding onto a man too tightly can have unintended consequences,”
