Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right -
Chapter 558
Juanita announced, playing her trump card while glancing at Emilio in the front row.
Surprised, Emilio stood up, awkwardly touching his forehead and shyly looking at Domenic.
But Juanita seemed oblivious to Emilio’s discomfort.
She turned to Lindsey with a smile and said, “Linds, since you’ve worked at Vitality Entertainment, you must know about the Vitality Group.
The Vitality Group owns numerous industries and holds significant economic influence in Morcastle.
Even though Vitality Entertainment is a frontrunner in show business, it’s just a fraction of the Vitality Group’s vast business network.
For LMH Group to expand in Morcastle, we would need Vitality Group’s support.
By the way, Linds, which company does your boyfriend work for?”
Lindsey understood that her mother was trying to put Domenic in an awkward spot.
“He…” Lindsey lifted her head and glanced at the man beside her.
Oddly, there was no sign of displeasure on his face.
Domenic spoke up before Lindsey could respond.
“I work at a small firm.
It’s not much of a job.
”
Hearing this, everyone at Domenic with a mix of condescension and skepticism.
What qualifications did an employee of a small company have to be here?
Raising her eyebrows, Juanita pretended to be sorry and said, “That’s on me.
I should have looked into this beforehand.
I assumed Lindsey’s boyfriend was quite influential.
Oh, and let me introduce her.
This is Lindsey Stewart, my daughter.
”
Her casual mention of “My daughter” caused a collective gasp of surprise from those nearby.
Every gaze turned towards Lindsey, causing even Emilio to look on in astonishment.
Domenic’s eyes narrowed thoughtfully as he observed Juanita.
He quickly grasped her true motive for the evening.
“Ms.
Lopez, it’s no surprise Miss Stewart is so impressive in her speech and behavior.
She’s your daughter after all!”
“Ms.
Lopez, your daughter is really elegant and capable!”
“Ms.
Lopez, why didn’t you mention your daughter before? My son is still single, what luck!”
Everyone already liked Lindsey, and now, they were overly sweet to her.
They tried to establish a connection with Juanita, ignoring the fact that Domenic was standing beside them.
And the way they looked at Domenic was filled with contempt and disregard.
They thought he wasn’t worthy of Ms.
Lopez’s daughter.
Emilio gazed back at the crowd and shook his head without uttering a word.
He pondered what their reactions might be if they realized the man they were dismissing was actually the president of the Vitality Group.
With this amusing thought, Emilio’s Lips curled into a smirk.
“Ms.
Lopez, it’s almost time for the banquet to start.
”
He gently reminded Juanita, hoping to prevent her from causing more trouble.
Juanita checked the time on her watch and then cast an unwilling glare at Domenic.
A subtle smile formed on her Lips.
“You’re allowed to sit here today only because of Lindsey.
Otherwise, given your status, you would have been relegated to a back corner.
