Chapter 822
Carole’s eyes widened as she stumbled upon Sumner’s interview online.
She concluded it had to be Lindsey’s doing! Lindsey had taken her man, embarrassed her publicly, and even had her celebrity client spread rumors about her!
Feeling a rush of anger, Carole stood and stormed off after quickly wiping away a tear.
Jordan was leisurely reading a newspaper in the living room when Carole burst in.
“Mr.
Walsh…” As soon as Carole stepped into the room, she rushed towards Jordan.
Her eyes were swollen and filled with tears, which tugged at his heartstrings.
“Mr.
Walsh, I’m the laughingstock on the internet.
I fear I can no longer be Domenic’s wife without subjecting him to ridicule.
He’s deserving of someone far better,” Carole said, her voice filled with a mix of fragility and sadness.
Then, she ended up kneeling before Jordan and said, “Thank you for all you’ve done for me.
I’ll always remember your generosity and kindness.
I’ve made up my mind; I’m going back to Mubluosia.
I can’t remain here or continue caring for you.
Please look after yourself.
I don’t think I’ll ever come back here.
I’m just too embarrassed.
”
Jordan, puzzled by the sudden turn of events, furrowed his brow and inquired, “What’s the matter, Carole? Share with me what’s troubling you.
Remember, I’m here for you, no matter what.
”
Carole, seeking comfort, wiped her eyes and cried, “Someone shared details about the engagement party online, claiming I’m unworthy of Domenic.
They label me a gold digger, suggesting Domenic’s absence that night indicates his disdain for me.
They believe he was coerced into our engagement.
”
Jordan’s concern deepened at her words, and she let out a bitter smile.
“Don’t fret, Mr.
Walsh.
I’m accustomed to such treatment.
But I refuse to be a burden on Domenic or your family…”
Upon hearing that, Jordan immediately set aside his newspaper, signaling for the butler.
The butler was urged to recount the events in precise detail.
Jordan immediately became agitated and demanded, “Weren’t you in charge of the ceremony and everything it involved? How did someone manage to …?”
Carole sneered in her heart.
How could Lindsey keep on irritating Jordan like that? She was clearly asking for trouble.
It was like challenging a Lion in its own den! Even if Lindsey wished to scheme against her, she believed Lindsey stood no chance against her.
Until now, nobody had dared to challenge Jordan so boldly, especially someone like Lindsey, who only owned an agency.
Jordan pointed directly at the butler and ordered.
“I don’t want Lindsey or her agency anywhere near the entertainment scene.
Make sure she disappears from the industry along with that Sumner! They’ll regret their foolishness and disrespect.
You know what needs to be done!”
Carole smirked, feeling relieved.
With Lindsey having made Jordan furious at her, there was no way she could escape trouble, not even with a miracle.
Whatever her capabilities, she wouldn’t be able to save her reputation.
The butler quickly caught on and hurried away.
Jordan turned to Carole, speaking gently, “Don’t blame yourself, Carole.
You’re not at fault here.
Domenic’s the one at fault here.
Just don’t go anywhere.
I’ll make sure Domenic issues an apology as soon as he returns!”
Even though Carole felt satisfied inside, she kept a straight face.
Her eyes remained red and endearingly helpless.
“Mr.
Walsh, does Domenic not care for me? Does he not want to marry me? That’s alright; I wouldn’t want to pressure anyone.
Perhaps it’s best if the engagement is called off, allowing him to find true happiness with someone else.
My only wish is for you and him to be happy.
”
Jordan’s expression turned grim.
“How could he dare refuse me? You can relax, Carole, because you’re the only one meant to be Domenic’s wife.
”
“But he’s avoiding me at the moment.
I know he respects your opinion.
”
But since I can’t even talk to him now, it seems… Carole deliberately furrowed her brow and let out a sigh.
She was hinting that she wished to bond with Domenic, but the issue was she couldn’t even speak to him face-to-face.
So, Carole was hoping Jordan could come up with a solution.
“Leave it to me; I have a plan,” Jordan assured her.
“I’ve placed you in Vitality Group as Domenic’s personal secretary, and you two will have time for each other every day, which will surely benefit your relationship.
And don’t fret over your relationship; he’ll come around.
”
This was precisely what Carole aimed for.
“I trust your judgment and am grateful for your support.
”
What a great day for Carole! Not only did she persuade Jordan to deal with Lindsey, her biggest concern, but she also secured an opportunity to interact with Domenic daily.
She couldn’t ask for anything better! Carole could barely contain her happiness and almost let her smile show.
Meanwhile, in a clubhouse that was supposedly closed for a day, two men engaged in a serious conversation in a private upper-floor room.
One had a remarkable presence, while the other had a round belly.
“Did I give you the right information, Mr.
Lawson?” With a smile, the general manager of Gallop Entertainment rose from his seat and poured a cup of coffee for Brady.
“What can I do for you this time?”
Brady brought the cup to his lips and blew gently, remaining silent.
The man before him had provided the information about the intense infighting within the Walsh family.
Brady followed up with an investigation and received confirmation: the Walshes were indeed engaged in fierce competition for a piece of the foreign market.
It’s a universal truth that when two people argue, the third one often benefits from it.
Brady took a sip of his coffee, a deep smile spreading across his Lips.
“Domenic Walsh is out of the country, and without his decision-making across various aspects of their business, the Vitality Group is Like a ship without a captain.
The only one worth considering now in their company is Emilio Howard,” Brady said calmly.
“To keep Emilio occupied, I want Gallop Entertainment to stir up more trouble for Vitality Group.
”
When Emilio got overwhelmed with anxiety, Lawson Group could step in and grab the crucial projects that Vitality Group had been working on.
Reflecting on the intense dislike Jordan harbored for him, Brady felt his fists tighten with resentment and disgust.
Jordan had always kept a close watch on him.
He knew Jordan had eyes and ears everywhere, but he had to play dumb and let the latter think he had the upper hand.
Thinking of his son, Sumner, being an excellent individual, never embracing the warmth of his biological parents, Brady could no longer contain his desire to bring down the Walsh family.
He yearned to destroy the Walsh Group and bring Sumner home rightfully.
He was done with being under the control of the Walsh family, and he couldn’t bear to see his son endure the same fate.
“I guarantee that once this is over, you’ll secure your spot as the number one at Gallop Entertainment.
” Brady declared, his gaze piercing the general manager.
The general manager nodded and smiled, then promptly left the room.
Brady’s eyes lost their spark; he clenched his fists tightly, and his cup crashed to the floor with a clang, shattering the silence once more.
His expression turned grim and impassive.
“Damn you, Walsh Group…”
