As she expected, Kristy’s smile vanished, and she retorted sharply, “You’re talking about the two talents Lindsey introduced? Pure chance, that’s all.


    ”


    Carole continued, “So, Ms.


    Chase, you’re acquainted with Lindsey? She seems quite diligent.


    And that red diamond ne she wears is quite valuable.


    If it’s a gift from her boyfriend, she’s certainly lucky in love and career.


    ”


    “You’re overthinking it.


    Let me break it down for you.


    Lindsey is just pathetic!” Kristy’s voice dripped with disdain.


    Upon hearing this, Carole’s curiosity was piqued.


    She quickly asked, “What exactly are you saying?”


    Kristy gestured for her to lean in and murmured, “Lindsey’s secretly entangled with someone from a rich family.


    ”


    “What?” A sudden realization struck Carole.


    Could she be right in her assumption? Was Domenic defying his grandfather’s wishes by secretly seeing someone?


    “Ha, Lindsey’spletely clueless, thinking her man’s just a regr, hardworking guy.


    ” Kristy’s voice was dripping with disdain and a touch of gloating.


    “Serves her right.


    She’s been duped and hasn’t even caught on.


    ”


    “You’re aware of who her boyfriend really is?” Carole’s suspicions grew stronger with Kristy’s response.


    “I’ve heard rumors that he’s the Walsh family’s heir.


    Wealthy, young, and better looking than any celebrity.


    ” As she mentioned Domenic, a faint blush tinged Kristy’s cheeks.


    Carole felt a heavy weight in her chest as she listened.


    The young, attractive, and wealthy Walsh family heir? In her mind, Domenic was the only one who matched that description.


    Could it really be him?


    Her hands tightened into fists.


    With a strained smile, she said, “So, she has such a powerful boyfriend and still works so hard.


    Quite remarkable.


    ”


    “I told you Lindsey is a fool.


    ” Kristy boasted with satisfaction, “She’s clueless about her boyfriend’s true identity, or maybe he prefers keeping it a secret.


    I bet he’s just toying with her and isn’t serious!”


    “Is that so…” Carole pondered deeply.


    Had Domenic concealed his true identity from Lindsey? Was he merely toying with her?


    Yet, despite these doubts, Carole couldn’t bear the thought of Domenic with someone else.


    She wanted him topletely belong to her alone.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Carole forced herself to stay calm.


    How could Lindsey darepete with her for his affection? After all, she was supposed to be his fiancée.


    She was determined to remove Lindsey from the picturepletely!


    Later that day, Lindsey reserved a table at an upscale restaurant and even pre-ordered a cake to celebrate with Sumner and Xiomara.


    The restaurant was quite a distance away, so they drove there.


    Sumner took the driver’s seat.


    As Xiomara reached for the back door, Lindsey intervened, “Remember you get motion sick.


    Take the front seat instead to avoid feeling dizzy.


    ”


    “I…” Xiomara was initially puzzled, but a quick wink from Lindsey made her grasp the situation.


    Was Lindsey trying to avoid sitting too close to Sumner?


    With understanding, Xiomara turned to Sumner and said, “Can I sit up front with you?”


    Sumner responded without much interest, “Sure.


    ”


    Right after getting into the car, Lindsey swiftly pulled the curtain that separated the front and back seats, effectively putting Sumner and Xiomara in their own little world.


    She aimed to give them more opportunities to bond, hoping Sumner might notice Xiomara’s charm and grow to like her.
