Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Chapter 162

“You are family.

There was no room for grudges.

”

“It’s your father’s birthday today.

You’ve got to be here for that.

”

“Just say sorry to your dad, and let bygones be bygones.

Kendra’s voice softened.

“Enough about Lindsey, everyone.

She’s still learning.

She doesn’t quite understand the sacrifices we’ve made.

Sure, she’s had a spat with us and might still be a bit angry.

” “But that’ll pass.

By the end of the day, we’re family.

”

People around Kendra murmured their admiration for her graciousness and wisdom.

To them, Kendra seemed to have a bond with Lindsey that was even stronger than with her own child.

It was like the row at the engagement party had simply vanished into thin air.

Lindsey had to suppress a smirk.

Interestingly, even the upper class liked to act as if everything was in perfect order.

Yet, Lindsey suspected Kendra’s warmth hid an ulterior motive for insisting she attend the party.

She was curious about what Kendra might be plotting.

In the midst of it all, Benny made his way over, dressed in a handcrafted suit that exuded brilliance.

He gave Lindsey a look.

A flicker of the anger from their last fallout over money still simmered in his gaze.

But with so many eyes on them, he kept his cool and positioned himself beside Lindsey, saying nonchalantly, “Glad you’re here.

”

Lindsey forced a smile, turned around, and was about to walk away, which made Benny seem foolish.

Just as Benny’s patience was wearing thin, Kendra’s voice rang out, full of excitement.

“Shelia’s here!”

At that, Lindsey halted in her tracks and spotted Shelia not too far off.

Adorned in a flowing white lace dress, Shelia’s skin glowed in the light.

She was clinging to Jacob’s arm, her smile radiant.

“Lindsey, there you are.

” Shelia approached Lindsey, a triumphant arch to her brows.

“Meet my boyfriend, Jacob Perry, the vice president of Ray Films.

”

A buzz swept through the crowd, and heads turned at the mention of Ray Films.

“Ray Films? That’s the biggest film company in Morcastle, isn’t it?

Worth over ten billion, so they say.

They’re behind a bunch of hit movies and shows.

”

These people hadn’t really seen much.

They were just small-time business owners.

To them, Ray Films was like a castle in the sky.

“Isn’t Ray Films part of the Perry Group?”

“Are you talking about the Perry family, one of the top four elite families?”

That revelation drew a collective gasp.

They looked at Jacob not just with surprise but with reverence.

To them, the top four elite families held the reins to the city.

They were untouchable.

Now a Perry was Shelia’s boyfriend.

This significantly raised the Stewart family’s prestige.
