Chapter 981

Jordan eased a bit, his grip tightening around his cane before striking it against the floor.

“We need to get rid of Lindsey Stewart! She owned a talent agency, right? Domenic wants to protect her, so we can’t go after her directly for now.

But we can target her company and her artists.

”

Franklin replied, “I’ve already contacted her partners to break their contracts with her.

But I heard she got Reece Barton as her lawyer and plans to sue those partners.

Knowing it’s Reece, several partners backed off from terminating their contracts.

”

“Reece Barton?” Jordan’s eyes narrowed with cunning.

“The firstborn of the Barton couple?”

“That’s right.

”

Jordan smirked.

“It’s been ages since I’ve seen his father.

I do miss him!”

Carole woke up to find Domenic absent.

The events of the previous night replayed in her mind, fueling her rage with no outlet.

She had never despised anyone as much as she despised Lindsey now.

If it weren’t for Lindsey taking Domenic away, she wouldn’t be in this mess!

Out of the blue, she recalled something crucial.

Fishing out the agreement Domenic had signed the night before, a smirk spread across her face.

She couldn’t help but wonder how Lindsey would react upon seeing this pledge from Domenic.

Soon enough, the ship docked, and the celebration drew to a close.

As Carole was making her exit, she bumped into Kristy.

Kristy’s gaze was icy and disdainful.

“Oh, if it isn’t the future Mrs.

Walsh? Where’s your fiancé? Oh, wait, that’s right, he left you for Lindsey!”

Kristy’s laughter was dripping with mockery.

Ever since discovering Carole was Domenic’s fiancée, Kristy had harbored a burning resentment toward her.

Carole was well aware of Kristy’s feelings for Domenic.

This was just another jab.

Swallowing her anger, Carole managed to retort, “At least I have Jordan Walsh’s recognition! Unlike some people, who are just lowly actresses, desperately clinging to the Walsh family.

It’s fucking pathetic!”

Kristy’s face reddened with fury.

Carole had always donned a mask of gentleness and poise in front of her.

Witnessing Carole’s true colors now only deepened Kristy’s loathing.

“And who was the one making a spectacle of themselves last night? Quit the charade!” Kristy shot back before storming off in her high heels.

Carole’s fists clenched.

Even an actress had the nerve to ridicule her now.

This was all Lindsey’s fault! She would not let Lindsey off the hook.

As the crowd dispersed, Lindsey trailed behind Domenic off the ship.

Relief washed over her as she stepped onto solid ground.

She glanced at Domenic.

His chiseled profile was so near, yet he seemed an ocean away, both familiar and distant.

He was no longer the same Domenic she once knew.

Now, he radiated an aura of authority and ruthlessness as a member of the Walsh family.

They were worlds apart.

In a daze, she found herself in front of his car, a limited edition Bugatti.

She had ridden in it once before when Domenic had claimed it was his boss’ car.

The powerful, enigmatic boss he spoke of was actually himself.

The irony made Lindsey smile bitterly.
