Already seething with irritation, this mishap unleashed her fury.
Abandoning herposure, she yelled, “Who’s responsible for this? Can’t you see?”
The household staff were shocked, and unustomed to witnessing Carole’s temper.
After all, she had always embodied elegance and calm, a paragon of gentility to them.
But there she was, disheveled and drenched, standing on thewn, her face contorted with anger, seemingly on the brink of a confrontation…
Carole rushed back to her room in a flurry, mming the door shut behind her after her outburst.
She preferred solitude, not wanting anyone to witness her disarrayed state.
Alone in her room, Carole couldn’t contain her trembling.
The evening’s events weighed heavily on her, tempting her to unleash her frustration by breaking things.
Yet, she held back, aware that it was not the right ce to do so.
Overwhelmed by the mounting anger, Carole’s stomach churned, and she hurried to the bathroom, retching into the toilet bowl.
Gazing at her reflection, her eyes bloodshot against her ashen face, and she looked like a ghost in her white attire.
Carole couldn’t understand why Domenic was treating her like this.
Hadn’t she saved his life before? Didn’t their shared history count for anything? They had everything nned out, talked it through, and it was his idea to team up.
How could he leave her hanging without a heads-up, catching her off guard and feeling embarrassed?
It seemed Like he did it on purpose.
With a sudden realization, Carole narrowed her eyes, considering whether Lindsey had ignored her orders and spilled the beans about their engagement ns to Domenic.
Did Domenic and Lindsey team up to destroy her n and embarrass her in front of everyone?
Recalling Lindsey’s demeanor at the event, she now believed everything clicked.
That was why Lindsey hadn’t been stirred by her; that darn Lindsey!
Carole was madly puzzled, unable to grasp the sneaky tactics Lindsey might’ve used to sway Domenic to her side.
For Lindsey, Domenic went as far as defying his grandpa openly and even giving up his shares in the Walsh Group.
Was he willing to give up his position as the heir for Lindsey? Did Lindsey hold such significance for him?
Carole pondered her shoringspared to Lindsey.
What was it that she was missing?
Carole was filled with anger, ming everything on Lindsey.
With her hands balled into fists, Carole silentlymitted to a future where Domenic would earnestly seek her hand in marriage.
She vowed to reciprocate every bit of humiliation she endured today to Lindsey, ensuring it was paid back in full.
Moreover, she resolved to dismantle Lindsey’s life, intent on leaving her ostracized and isted by all.
Once Brady had departed, Sumner and Lindsey also decided to leave the hotel.
Upon arriving at the gate, Sumner suggested he could drive Lindsey home, an offer she didn’t refuse.
After ensuring Lindsey was settledfortably in the vehicle and the door was securely closed, Sumner ignited the engine.
He observed Lindsey, clearly weary, reclining and gently rubbing her temples.
With a softness typical for him, Sumner ced his jacket over her, advising, “If you feel tired, go ahead and sleep.
I’ll let you know once we’re at your ce.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
”
Lindsey was beyond tired.
A full day of work and an evening party had drained her.
After the unexpected drama that unfolded, all she wanted was to rest.
Lindsey mumbled her gratitude but found sleep elusive.
Closing her eyes only seemed to heighten her senses.
The evening’s bizarre events swirled in her mind, leaving her thoughts tangled and restless, far from calm.
As sleep remained elusive, Lindsey’s thoughts drifted to a recent conversation about Sumner and Xiomara.
Curiosity getting the better of her, she looked at Sumner and asked, “Sumner, has there been something between you and Xiomarately? You two seem distant.
