Murmurs spread through the hall.


    “Yes, she wore a different dress when she arrived.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    ”


    “I saw it too.


    It was Carole who took her to change.


    ”


    “That’s strange… Why would Miss Larson do that?”


    Initially, Carole hoped to see Lindsey break down or flee in humiliation, but instead, Lindsey stoodposed and unshaken.


    With a few pointed remarks, Lindsey directed all suspicions toward Carole and Domenic.


    Carole became nervous.


    “Lindsey, don’t talk nonsense.


    I noticed your outfit was a bit messy earlier, so I suggested we go to my room for you to change.


    It was a surprise when you picked out the same dress as mine.


    You’re the one with ulterior motives.


    ”


    Jordan, however, sided with Carole, convinced that Lindsey was just making excuses.


    In his eyes, this woman was known for her cunning and strategic maneuvers.

    Yet, her statements caused him to turn his attention to Domenic.


    He asked, “Domenic, what’s all this about?”


    Jordan needed to hear it straight from Domenic to put his mind at ease.


    Domenic looked down, remaining silent.


    Before he could speak, Carole interjected, “If Domenic doesn’t want to discuss it, please don’t press him.


    I’m sure he has his reasons.


    Perhaps their interaction was strictly business and nothing more.


    ”


    Carole’s words seemed to defend Lindsey and Domenic, but actually they deepened the suspicions about their rtionship.


    Jordan instantly became furious.


    “Am I pressing him? I just want to know what’s happening today.


    Domenic, did you invite her? What is your rtionship with this woman? If you don’t rify things, you can forget about inheriting the Walsh Group.


    ”


    It was inappropriate for Jordan to speak so bluntly in front of all the guests, but he was already quite dissatisfied with Lindsey.


    He had previously arranged for someone to get rid of Lindsey, but not only did she appear unscathed, but she openly caused a scene at such an important event.


    It was clear that she didn’t respect his authority.


    Jordan was no fool.


    He knew that if Lindsey could act boldly, she must have powerful support.


    And the only person bold enough to defy him was Domenic.


    He always thought highly of Domenic and nned to entrust him with thepany’s future.


    But now, Domenic kept a woman secretly and even allowed her to disrupt the celebration.


    Moreover, wasn’t this woman previously involved with Emilio? What was her connection to Domenic now?


    For the first time, Jordan felt overwhelmed when things were out of control.


    The anxiety and frustration were too much for him.


    He hadn’t felt genuinely angry for a long time; usually, his anger was just for show.


    But today, he was truly enraged.


    He felt a sharp pain in his chest, instinctively clutching it and staggering backward.


    Seeing this, both Carole and Domenic were rmed and moved to assist Jordan.


    However, Jordan brushed aside Domenic’s offered hand and steadied himself by grabbing Carole’s arm.


    “Domenic, your grandpa is sick and shouldn’t be upset.


    Speak up and calm him down,” Carole urged Domenic urgently, signaling for him to defuse the situation.
