t was as if the matter had never been broached.


    Gazing around, memories flooded back for Lindsey-the first visit with Domenic, their shared purchases andughter.


    A smile graced her lips involuntarily.


    In that moment, a memory interrupted her thoughts—a moment when Domenic wielded a fake VIP card from the mall to embarrass her rival, Mary.


    That incident had led Lindsey to receive a dress worth a whopping 560, 000,pletely free of charge.


    Lost in recollection, Lindsey found herself a little distracted, unconsciously gravitating towards the entrance of a clothing store.


    Following her gaze, Sumner offered softly, “Would you like to go in and take a look? I’ll apany you.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ”


    Acknowledging the steep prices of the garments, Lindsey decided to enter with Sumner, content with perusing the more affordable styles.


    Upon entering, her eyes fell on ady stepping out of the fitting room, adorned in an outfit akin to the white evening gown Lindsey had once worn, but with a more casual ir.


    She poised before a man, her hands delicately sped together.


    With two gracefully arched eyebrows and clear eyes, she exuded an aura of elegance and sophistication.


    A subtle flush adorned her cheeks as she inquired, “Domenic, how about this one?”


    Lindsey’s heart raced as she peered at the man’s back, her scrutiny turning swiftly to shock.


    At first nce, he seemed vaguely familiar, but now it dawned on her-it was unmistakably Domenic!


    How could he be here, in such an upscale clothing store, apanied by such a refined woman?


    Sumner, too, recognized the duo and squinted, observing the unfolding scene.


    With Lindsey catching Domenic red-handed, Sumner was absolved of the burden of divulging the truth.


    A faint smirk graced Sumner’s lips as he eagerly anticipated the drama about to unravel before them.


    Carole turned her head towards the trio, registering their stares.


    Her expression froze momentarily.


    She recognized Sumner, and the girl beside him who was fixedly gazing at Domenic, making her profoundly ufortable.


    Upon noticing Carole’s altered expression, Domenic pivoted around, meeting Lindsey’s gaze.


    His pupils contracted suddenly, his usual cold and detached demeanor now firm and unyielding.


    Lindsey? Why was she here?


    Domenic’s gaze shifted to Sumner, who stood alongside Lindsey.


    A puzzled frown creased Domenic’s forehead.


    Did Sumner bring her here?


    Did she already know about what had transpiredst night?


    With furrowed brows, Domenic turned away, feigning ignorance towards Lindsey.


    However, Carole, astute and perceptive, sensed an air of unease in the situation.
