Jordan let out a brief chuckle, assessing Lindsey.
He marveled at how her transformation belied her earlier simplicity; her ensemble was every bit as stunning as Carole’s.
He had expected Lindsey, a simple girl from the streets, to gawk at the opulent setting like a deer in headlights.
Instead, she disyed a poise and graciousness that took him by surprise.
As the onlookers anticipated a spectacle, Jordan smiled slightly, took Lindsey’s gloved hand in his, and patted it gently.
“No wonder Dominic is taken with you.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
You’re not only beautiful but gracious as well.
”
This unexpected shift in his demeanor left the crowd exchanging Looks of surprise.
Everyone was in disbelief, their eyes fixed on the unexpected scene unfolding before them.
Could it be that something happened just now when they weren’t looking that made Jordan ept Lindsey? Jordan’s attitude toward Lindsey seemed to have changed in the blink of an eye.
Lindsey braced herself for a reprimand from Jordan, but was taken aback by his warm and weing manner.
He was nothing Like the man who had tried to throw her out at the banquet hall just moments earlier.
She was at a loss for words and could only respond with a nod and a smile.
Jordan masked the disdain in his eyes, adopting a kind and gentle facade as he examined Lindsey from head to toe, nodding with feigned approval.
“Can I call you Lindsey? I was too hasty earlier and I misunderstood the situation.
It’s all Domenic’s fault.
I’ve always told him to bring any girl he likes to meet me.
Yet, he said nothing about this.
He even kept your rtionship a secret, which led to my matchmaking between him and Carole.
Can you forgive me?”
Jordan’s words painted him as meless, suggesting that Domenic had purposely kept things from him, and that Domenic had been reluctant to acknowledge his connection with her or introduce her to him.
With a frown, Domenic turned toward Lindsey.
Just as he was about to speak, Lindsey smiled, her eyes lighting up as she responded with grace and politeness, “Of course.
He didn’t tell you because he didn’t want to upset you.
”
Seeing Lindsey’s nonchnt yet protective tone, Domenic exhaled a deep sigh of relief, feeling aforting and delightful warmth spread through his heart.
Jordan’s calcting gaze dimmed slightly, noting his attempts to stir trouble between Domenic and Lindsey were futile.
“I’m d he has found someone he loves,” Jordan said with a smile, masking his motives.
“I must say, he has quite the discerning taste.
Lindsey, this is the first time we’ve met.
I don’t know much about you and your family.
What do you do?”
The others were equally intrigued by Lindsey.
Their gazes were glued to her, eager to learn more.
Although they initially suspected Lindsey was merely a secret lover, Domenic’s open deration of her as his girlfriend shifted their perceptions.
If Lindsey had captured Domenic’s affection and attention, they guessed she would probably hold a notable position.
Jordan, well aware of Lindsey’s background, intentionally brought it up in front of arge crowd, aiming to embarrass her.
After all, despite recognizing the stark differences between herself and Domenic, she had boldly attempted to win his affection, a feat that seemed overly ambitious.
From the corner of her eye, Lindsey noticed the gathering crowd.
With aposed smile, she gracefully responded without missing a beat, “I manage a small agency and work as an agent.
My family is just like any other-nothing out of the ordinary.
”
Her words immediately sparked a flurry of whispers among the onlookers.
“What? She’s merely a small agency owner.
How did she manage to connect with Domenic Walsh?”
“Why would he be interested in her?”
“Perhaps it’s her charm in private matters.
It seems he ispletely smitten…”
“No wonder his grandpa is against their rtionship.
If he were my son, I’d be furious too.
