and the security guards stood in the man’s way, giving him a stern warning that they’d involve the police if he tried to bother her once more.


    The man stood there, fists clenched, looking both resentful and reluctant.


    Lindsey, sensing something odd, watched quietly from afar.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    Once Shelia’s group was gone, she approached the hooded man.


    With a slight smile, she asked, “Do you need something from Shelia?”


    The man was taken aback by Lindsey’s sudden approach, eyeing her warily.


    “Who are you?”


    “I’m Shelia’s sister,” Lindsey answered.


    “I saw what happened.


    If you have a message, I can pass it on to her.


    ”


    When the man learned that Lindsey was Shelia’s sister, his expression changed.


    “Okay, fine.


    You pass on the message to Shelia that if she keeps dodging me like this, I’ll spill all our old secrets to the world!”


    Lindsey paused to examine the man.


    He was dressed in worn-out clothes and had a strange smell.


    Considering what she knew about Shelia, there had to be something suspicious about her association with a guy Like him.


    “Secrets between you two?” Lindsey squinted, purposefully wearing a scornful look.


    “She’s never mentioned you before.


    Shelia is pure and innocent.


    How could she possibly be connected to someone like you?”


    Lindsay’sment angered the man.


    He shouted, “I’m Shelia’s ex.


    We slept together the very first time we met.


    Pure and innocent? Hell no!”


    A smirk yed on Lindsey’s lips.


    It turned out this guy was Shelia’s ex-boyfriend.


    And to top it off, they had been physically close to each other.


    She found this intriguing.


    As Jacob, the youngest son of the Perry family, one of the four prominent ns, would he ever consider marrying someone who had been in a previous intimate rtionship with such a man? Surely Shelia hadn’t spilled the beans to Jacob about this.


    She must have fibbed to him, insisting she was still a virgin.


    Shelia had her sights set on bing Mrs.


    Perry and marrying into the renowned Perry family.


    Lindsey couldn’t let her fulfill that dream so effortlessly, could she?

    Lindsey gazed at the man before her and said, “Sir, I’ll pass your message to Shelia, but I can’t guarantee she’ll want to meet you.


    After all, you know that Shelia is now… quite the celebrity.


    ”


    She emphasized the words “quite a celebrity” with a hint of implication.


    The man’s expression soured.


    Lindsey took out a notepad from her bag, tore off a sheet, and wrote down her phone number.


    Handing it to him, she said, “If you need assistance, feel free to reach out.


    ”


    With that, she walked away, a smile on her face, leaving the man confused.


    The evening before herpany’s grand opening, Lindsey had herwyer send Benny a document to terminate their paternal rtionship.


    Along with it, she included an invitation to the opening of herpany.


    Meanwhile, at the Stewarts’ residence, Benny mmed the document onto the table, fuming.


    He had previously been so enraged by Lindsey that he ended up in the hospital for a few days.


    Now, he was infuriated once again.


    “A grand opening? I have no intention of attending,” Benny said and was about to crumple the invitation, but Kendra stopped him.
