Chapter 897

Together, they had engaged in thrilling activities like bungee jumping, parachuting, and admiring the aurora in the northern regions, fulfilling Reece’s unspoken desires.

However, as Reece prepared to confess his feelings, a major case required his return to the country.

Subsequently, he became engrossed in Selah’s case, keeping him occupied.

In due course, Reece discovered that Carole had returned to their home country.

Shortly after, online sources unveiled her engagement to the CEO of Vitality Group.

Reece came to realize that Carole was, in fact, Domenic’s fiancée.

He could only keep his love for Carole hidden deep within his heart for eternity.

Carole remained a symbol of purity and beauty in Reece’s heart.

However, encountering Carole again today stirred unfamiliar emotions within Reece.

Upon setting down the water glass, Reece felt the soft touch of something against the back of his hand.

It was Carole, gently holding his hand.

When Carole lifted her face again, her eyes gleamed with tears, like a hurt puppy pleading for comfort.

“Reece, I can’t keep it from you any longer.

You’ve heard of my engagement with Domenic, haven’t you? But that Lindsey had been up to no good.

She flirted with Domenic behind my back.

And on our engagement party, he agreed to come, only to bail at the Last minute because of Lindsey, embarrassing me in front of everyone.

And now, his grandpa is in the hospital because of her.

She may look harmless, but she’s a schemer.

She acted like my friend, got close to me, pried out details about Domenic and me, and then wrecked it all.

She even got an artist she was managing to tell the press that Domenic skipped the party, and the whole internet came after me.

It was brutal!”

Carole wiped away her tears.

“She’s put me through hell.

I just want to make her pay.

And Domenic’s grandpa personally orchestrated the partnership termination thing.

If you take Lindsey’s side, you’ll be going against him.

Think about it.

”

Reece’s eyes widened in shock at Carole’s story.

In his view, Lindsey seemed so nice.

Was this who she really was?

But if Jordan was behind all this, he couldn’t afford to mess with him.

“Carole, I could turn down her case,” Reece said.

But Carole didn’t stop there, tenderly grasping his hand and tracing soothing circles with her fingertips.

“But she’ll just find someone else.

Reece, for our friendship’s sake, please consider helping me this once.

It’s also what Jordan Walsh needs.

Please?”

“But…” Reece felt momentarily swayed by her touch, yet his professional ethics as a lawyer held him back.

“Reece, you’ve always been there for me.

If you help me now, I’LL make it up to you later.

You wouldn’t want to see Lindsey walk all over me without a fight, would you?” Carole’s voice was like a gentle melody, softening Reece’s resolve.

Meeting her gaze, Reece couldn’t resist the appeal of her captivating face.

He couldn’t bear to see his beloved woman being hurt.

For Carole’s sake, he could make an exception, just this once.

“Alright, I’LL do it,” he said, and a warm smile spread across his face.

“Thank you.

I’m so lucky to be your friend,” she said, withdrawing her hand but maintaining her smile.

Reece dropped his gaze, pretending to be engrossed in sipping water, attempting to conceal his racing heart.

When she noticed his shyness, Carole’s Lips curved into a soft smile.
