Chapter 925

Lindsey took a deep breath, striving to maintain her composure and not appear as if she were out of her depth.

The banquet hall was teeming with guests.

People clustered in groups, chatting and exchanging pleasantries, most of them simply basking in the grandeur.

Lindsey felt out of place.

No one seemed to notice her.

Not inclined to socialize, she retreated to a corner.

She found an empty seat, sat down, and began scanning the room for any sign of the CEO.

Meanwhile, Kristy made a call to Carole.

“Miss Larson, why is Lindsey at today’s event?”

It was through Carole that Kristy learned about the Walsh Group’s celebration.

Without this insider information, Kristy would have been entirely unaware of the event, given her social standing.

By a stroke of luck, she had encountered Becker at a cocktail party.

Among all her connections, Becker held the highest status.

Knowing that Becker was qualified to attend the Walsh Group’s event, she had persistently persuaded him to bring her along.

Given the opportunity to attend such an exclusive event, Kristy’s eyes naturally gravitated towards the more distinguished young men, particularly Domenic, who modestly concealed his brilliance.

She knew she couldn’t be an actress forever; her ultimate ambition was to marry a wealthy man.

She had planned to use this event to get close to Domenic, but encountering Lindsey there was an unexpected and infuriating twist.

Hearing Kristy’s words, Carole was taken aback and said, “Did you say Lindsey is here?”

“Yes.

Somehow, she got hold of a gold-plated invitation.

She humiliated me outside just now, and I’m furious.

” Kristy was on the verge of cursing but restrained herself in the presence of so many influential people.

Carole smiled.

“A gold-plated invitation, huh? I didn’t expect her to have such connections.

I was the one who tipped her off about this event.

But don’t worry, I’ll make sure she leaves in tears tonight.

”

Kristy was momentarily stunned and then asked, “You mean you lured Lindsey here just to embarrass her?”

Carole just smiled, offering no response.

Kristy immediately grasped Carole’s meaning and felt a surge of relief.

The anger that had been simmering in her heart dissipated.

“I see.

Then I won’t worry.

I’m looking forward to seeing Lindsey suffer.

”

“I have other matters to attend to.

I must go now,” Carole said, ready to hang up.

But Kristy called out loudly, “Wait a moment, Miss Larson.

I wanted to ask you about someone.

”

“Who?” Carole asked, frowning impatiently.

With a blush coloring her cheeks, Kristy said, “Do you happen to know Domenic Walsh?”

Carole’s eyes widened instantly.

Gripping the phone tighter, she asked, “Why do you want to know about him?”

“To be honest, Domenic is Lindsey’s ex-boyfriend.

I know he’s from the Walsh family, but I’m not sure of his position within the Walsh Group.

And, well, the reason I asked is because I have a crush on him,” Kristy admitted confidently.

Unbeknownst to Kristy, a shadow fell across Carole’s face as she listened on the other end of the line.

Kristy had feelings for

Domenic? This revelation caught Carole off guard, casting a sudden chill over her demeanor.

Little did Kristy realize that her words had pierced Carole’s heart like an unexpected arrow.

Carole had assumed that by removing Lindsey from the equation, Domenic would remain firmly within her grasp.

She never imagined a would-be rival lurking so close, coveting her beloved fiancé.

Carole simmered with a mixture of surprise and indignation, a tempest brewing beneath her calm exterior.

Yet, she maintained her poise, masking her turmoil behind a facade of cool indifference.

With a measured tone, she responded, “I’m acquainted with him.

You’ll have the chance to see him soon enough.

”

“Is he here today as well?” Kristy’s excitement bubbled over, unaware of the storm brewing on the other end of the line.

With a chilling smile, Carole replied, “Indeed, he’s present today, and it will be a delightful surprise for you.

Patience, my dear.
