As Lindsey aimed her fist toward Domenic, he intercepted, sping her hand in his.


    With Lindsey fine, he felt a wave of relief wash over him.


    As the tranquility settled between them, Kendra abruptly dashed toward Lindsey, visibly concerned.


    Squatting down, she inquired, “Linds, are you alright? The dinner is imminent.


    It’s unwise to attend in your current state.


    Return to change, perhaps even visit a doctor.


    You can’t catch a cold.


    ”


    Kendra’s sudden concern triggered a realization in Lindsey.


    It dawned on her that this orchestrated scenario was a deceitful ploy concocted to oust her from the scene.


    “Mr.


    Walsh, did you catch that? Someone’s shedding crocodile tears,”


    Lindsey disregarded Kendra, arching her brows at Domenic.


    Domenic chuckled, assisting Lindsey to her feet, enveloping her in his embrace.


    Kendra shot a covert re at Lindsey but then realized something and turned to Domenic.

    At that moment, Benny approached, casting a frown upon seeing Lindsey.


    “You can’t present yourself to Old Mrs.

    Swiftly change your clothes, avoid any discourtesy!”


    Benny feared Lindsey could bring embarrassment on him before the Perry family if she appeared unkempt.


    Ignoring Benny, Lindsey fixed her gaze on Kendra, sneering, “Kendra, you deliberately pushed me into the pool just now.


    If you wished to oust me, there were better ways.

    “Benny, Lindsey alwaysmented her inability to pursue violin lessons due to financial constraints.


    Today, by chance, she met Monica Hughes, hoping for guidance but was too embarrassed.


    I merely attempted to assist, leading to an inadvertent pool mishap.


    I tried to aid her, yet she turned on me.


    I shouldn’t have bothered in the first ce!”


    Since Benny had rebuked Kendra previously, she had been ignored for days, nursing a grudge against Lindsey.


    Benny gave Kendra a quick nce.


    Shelia got to meet Jacob’s parents today.


    For some reason, the two of them thought the same thing about one thing at the same time, regardless of what Kendra had said.


    Their intention was to remove Lindsey from the picture and prevent her from interfering with Shelia’s marriage.


    This had to do with the Stewart family’s future growth.


    Casting a nce at Kendra, Benny’s countenance turned icy.


    “Linds, I’ve mentioned before, it’s not that I opposed your violin pursuits, but the expenses were prohibitive.


    Ourpany was in its infancy, and choices were limited.


    Your regrets are known to us all.


    While Kendra might have acted hastily today, it’s for your benefit.


    Don’t behave childishly.

    I’ll arrange a cab to escort you back.
