Chapter 863
“Don’t worry.
I will,” Carole assured with a smile.
Domenic nodded slightly and was about to leave when something seemed to occur to him, making him stop.
He turned back, looking at Carole with a thoughtful gaze.
“Domenic, do you need anything else?” Carole’s heart raced as she spoke softly, her fingers fidgeting nervously.
Staring at her with a cold gaze, Domenic asked, “I heard there were two unexpected guests at the engagement party.
Did you know them?”
Caught off guard for a moment, Carole’s response showed a hint of panic as she hurried to answer, “Um, no.
I mean… I’m not really sure about that.
”
Upon hearing that, Domenic raised an eyebrow, and a smirk played at his lips.
“Good to know.
Grandpa and I both dislike unnecessary fuss.
”
With that, he left.
Watching Domenic’s figure disappear down the corridor, Carole clenched her fists tightly at her sides.
She could tell that Domenic was giving her a warning.
She guessed Lindsey must have been the one who talked to Domenic, causing him to purposely bring it up.
That damned Lindsey again!
Just as she was about to let out her anger, her phone rang unexpectedly.
When she saw the caller ID, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.
“Hey, guess what? Got some hot news for you,” Kristy said lazily over the phone.
“Lindsey’s little company has been having a rough time since they lost almost all contracts.
They’re basically on the brink of going broke.
And guess what? Lindsey, the head of the company, hasn’t even been around lately.
Nancy is running the company alone.
”
Carole grinned.
She never thought Jordan would’ve jumped on Lindsey so fast.
After all, only the Walsh family could pull strings like this.
So, why didn’t Lindsey show up at the company? Did Jordan chew her out?
Carole was pumped at the idea, shaking off her sadness.
She felt like Lindsey seriously crossed her line by making a move on Domenic.
In Carole’s mind, Domenic was hers and hers alone.
Anyone who dared to steal him away would regret it just like Lindsey did.
On top of that, it seemed Jordan had a real dislike for Lindsey.
No matter how much Domenic liked her, it wouldn’t count for much if Jordan said no.
After all, Domenic always followed Jordan’s lead, especially given that Jordan was still in charge of the company.
Carole believed if she could just win Jordan over, playing the perfect wife to Domenic, he would surely end up marrying her one day.
But she soon calmed down a bit because she was still stressed about something else.
Jordan wasn’t in great health.
He had just been admitted to the hospital.
If something suddenly happened to him, all her hard work would be pointless.
Moreover, she wasn’t sure how Domenic felt about her or if he had any clue about her actions.
The only thing she could count on was Jordan’s power.
This totally freaked her out.
Carole took a deep breath and headed back to the ward, where she found Jordan awake and sitting up in bed.
She rushed over to him, looking really worried.
“Mr.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Walsh! Thank goodness you’re okay! Let me help you get back down.
How are you feeling now? Do you want me to call the doctor?”
