Not only did he harbor no romantic feelings for Lindsey, but even if he did, he wouldn’t dare challenge Domenic for her affections.


    Besides, if he truly had feelings for Domenic’s woman, he wouldn’t have stood idly by while Carole became Domenic’s fiancée.


    A flicker of sadness crossed his face.


    Carole, taken aback by his forceful denial, shot him a wounded look.

    “I was just asking.


    No need to get so defensive.


    ”


    Meanwhile, Domenic kept his gaze fixed on Reece, his expression unfriendly.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Reece forced a smile and quickly exined, “Miss Stewart and I have a purely professional rtionship tied to legal services.


    She invited me here today to express gratitude for a previous case and discuss anotherwsuit for which she seeks my assistance.


    ”


    “Another Lawsuit? What is it about?” Carole’s curiosity was piqued.


    Just as Reece was about to speak, Domenic interjected coldly, halting whatever Reece intended to say next.


    “It’s not fitting for a distinguishedwyer like yourself to reveal a client’s confidentiality,” Domenic remarked.


    Reece was momentarily surprised but swiftly grasped the situation.

    It was as if he had deliberately chosen to overlook her!


    Was he truly so preupied with that Lindsey?


    Despite Carole’s efforts to secure Domenic’smitment, she abruptly realized that, as long as Lindsey remained in the picture, she couldn’t fully possess Domenic’s heart.


    As long as Domenic remained unable to let go of Lindsey, Carole’s status as his wife was uncertain.


    She needed to im Domenic’s body and soul entirely as her own, which meant eliminating Lindsey from the equation.


    While Carole’s thoughts raced, Domenic rose from his seat and casually announced, “I’ll step outside to make a phone call.


    ”


    Carole watched him depart, her lips bitten tightly.


    He must be using the excuse to seek out Lindsey!


    As she prepared to rise and follow, Reece intervened.


    “I don’t think Domenic appreciates being followed when he makes calls, Carole.


    ”


    Reece’s remark immediately pacified Carole’s agitated heart, prompting her to sit back down and regard Reece.
