FreeGoodNovelChapter 985 "Miss Larson, if this isn't important, I've got a lot of things to do and can't afford to waste any time.
"Lindsey's tone was irritated.
Carole raised an eyebrow, grinning.
"Domenic wasn't with you last night, was he?" Suddenly, Lindsey's frown deepened.
"How do you know?" "Well, of course I know.
"Carole chuckled loudly.
"Because he was withlast night.
" Lindsey felt as though an arrow had pierced her heart.
She tried to keep her composure, but her trembling eyes gave her away.
Carole was delighted by her reaction.
Seeing Lindsey speechless made her even smugger.
"You can tell what could have happened between him and me, right?" Lindsey clenched her teeth, fighting the pain inside her.
"What do you want to tell me?" Carole chuckled.
"Lindsey, do you actually believe you've won? Take a look at this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt" She pulled out a piece of paper from her bag and unfolded it before Lindsey.
It read, "I, Domenic Walsh, promise Carole Larson that I will stay with her tonight and that I will never marry Lindsey Stewart in this lifetime.
Lindsey's facade crumbled as she recognized Domenic's handwriting.
He had claimed he was working last night, but instead, he was with Carole.
They had spent the night together, and he had vowed never to marry her.
Had all his previous professions of love been merely an act? If he preferred Carole, why had he chosen her in front of his grandfather? Lindsey pressed her nails into her palms, nearly drawing blood, using the physical pain to dull the emotional torment.
She couldn't fathom why Domenic had done this.
She looked up at Carole, striving to seem indifferent, though her heart was breaking.
"You're mistaken.
I never sought to compete with you.
Everything was Domenic's decision.
It has nothing to do with me.
If there's nothing else, I'll be going.
" "Lindsey!" Carole called out to her.
"Domenic will marryone day! You wouldn't have been deceived for so long if you were truly capable of winning him over.
Without my help, you'd still be unaware of his true nature.
How could a man who truly loves you deceive you for so long?" Her words cut deep, making Lindsey feel as though her heart was bleeding.
She suddenly realized that all the sweetness she once believed in was nothing but a fragile illusion, easily shattered.
She thought Carole was right.
If Domenic truly loved her, how could he continue to lie to her? If she hadn't discovered the truth, would he have kept deceiving her forever? The thought left Lindsey gasping for air, rendering her speechless.
Carole's tone becgentler, her words seemingly sincere.
"Lindsey, I'm sorry for how I've acted, but I was left with no choice.
His grandfather pickedto be his future wife.
To prepare for this, I spent years abroad improving myself.
Marrying him has been the sole purpose of my life.
I even gave up who I was to master the ways of high society and transform into a refined lady. However, upon my return, I discovered you were involved.
My anger at that is why I... But Last night, Domenic remindedthat he hasn't forgotten about me.
I once saved him, and because he still values that, he found himself unable to resist being with me..." Carole paused before continuing, ""Linds, his grandpa will never accept you.
You two are destined to drift apart.
Domenic and I could have been very happy if it weren't for your presence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo please, step aside and let us be together.
Lindsey's eyes welled up with tears.
She told herself not to cry, not to shed another tear for Domenic.
Regardless of the truth behind his words, the exentheim chasm asm ove worlds and social status was clear.
There was no going back.
To protect herself from more pain, she needed to distance herself from those who had hurt her.
She turned to Carole and asked, "Is it really worth losing yourselffopam man?". Carole smiled.
"If that man is Domenic, then yes, it's worth it.
" Lindsey scoffed.
"No matter who the man is, I will never Lose myself.
And I won't leave to make way for anyone else.
I'm leaving for myself.
"With that, she turned and walked away, not looking back.
Carole stood there, stunned, watching her slender yet resolute figure recede.
