Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

Lindsey was taken aback.

“What do you mean? I’m not sure I understand.

Could you clarify?”

With her fists clenched even tighter, Carole was on the verge of shouting in Lindsey’s face that nothing would change the fact that she would soon be wed to Domenic.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

However, doing so would only make herself a laughingstock.

Domenic lavished so much attention on Lindsey, yet he couldn’t even feign seriousness about their engagement party.

Carole couldn’t bear the thought of Lindsey seeing her as a pitiful joke if she voiced such sentiments.

The mere image of Lindsey’s smug expression left Carole feeling utterly shattered.

Suppressing her resentment and anger, Carole gazed at Lindsey for a while before turning away, choosing to leave without uttering another word.

Lindsey furrowed her brow, watching Carole’s retreating figure with profound confusion.

After ensuring she was beyond the gaze of the banquet hall, Carole unleashed her pent-up frustration by stomping her heels in a fit of rage.

Just as the staff opened the front door for her exit, a swarm of journalists wielding microphones and cameras surged in, blocking her path.

The situation was more than just irritating for Carole.

She was the one who had reached out to the media, seeking to amplify the excitement surrounding her engagement ceremony.

Yet, after what had unfolded, it all felt utterly unnecessary.

All she desired now was for this banquet to fade into oblivion, erased from everyone’s memory.

Just as Carole attempted to instruct the reporters to depart, one of them thrust a camera in her face.

“Miss Larson, do you believe ‘fiancé rejected marriage’ accurately encapsulates what occurred at today’s ceremony?”

“Do you know why your partner failed to appear, Miss Larson? Was the decision to get married yours and your partner’s alone, or was it arranged by Mr.

Jordan Walsh?”

“Miss Larson, rumors are suggesting that your engagement to a Walsh only came about after persistent efforts to ingratiate yourself with Jordan Walsh.

Can you offer any clarification on this?”

“Miss Larson, can you confirm if your engagement is still a sure thing? When can we expect your engagement ceremony to take place?”

Carole’s head spun with the onslaught of hostile interview questions.

Overwhelmed by the awkward situation, she longed to disappear, to escape the relentless scrutiny.

She couldn’t comprehend how the journalists had obtained information about the debacle, nor could she grasp the reason behind today’s disaster when she had been so confident that everything was under control.

The reporters swarmed Carole, firing off rapid questions at the same time.

Carole wobbled on her feet, barely able to keep her control in check.

The security guards at the banquet quickly formed a protective circle around her, warding off the relentless journalists, while a staff member discreetly escorted Carole to the back exit.

Despite the chaos, Carole did her best to maintain a dignified air as she left through the back door.

In the banquet hall, Lindsey was frowning at the spot Carole had stood a moment earlier.

While she was annoyed with the way Carole spoke to her, she couldn’t help but sympathize with Carole.

No woman would be pleased to find out that her partner bailed on their engagement ceremony.

Regardless, Lindsey was surprised to see such an accomplished woman like Carole in such a predicament.

Lindsey had only attended this party because of Carole.

Now that the engagement ceremony was called off and Carole had left, there was no reason for Lindsey to stay.

She turned to ask Sumner if he was ready to leave.

At that moment, Brady was engaging in idle chit-chat with Rachel and Jordan.

Along with the usual pleasantries were subtle warnings Brady was bored, but he couldn’t afford to show his impatience, so he scanned the room in search of an acquaintance whom he could use as an excuse to leave.

His perusal came to an abrupt halt as he stared in shocked silence at a figure not far away.

The figure bore such a_ striking resemblance to Everleigh that he could do nothing but gape for several seconds.

“Brady? Brady?”

The displeased voice snapped Brady out of his trance.

When he turned to the voice, he found Rachel staring at him with a displeased frown.
