Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Chapter 177

Had Lindsey just acknowledged him as her man?

Shelia, convinced Lindsey was just boasting, pointed to herself and yelled, “Stop exaggerating, Lindsey! If you get into the club without needing a VIP membership or tickets, I’ll bow down and apologize to you!”

Shelia played right into Lindsey’s hands by being so upfront, giving Lindsey the perfect chance to show off.

“You said it yourself.

Stick to your word.

”

With that, Lindsey led Domenic over to the staff at the entrance.

“Ma’am, sir, could I see your VIP passes or tickets, please?”

Shelia stood by, arms folded, eager to see Lindsey embarrass herself.

From what Shelia understood, this equestrian club had strict rules about entry to the races.

There wasn’t another way to get in without a VIP membership or a ticket.

She was curious how Lindsey would get around that.

Casually, Lindsey fished out an ID badge from her bag and showed it to the staff.

Once they confirmed her picture, they handed it back.

“Oh, you’re competing.

And this gentleman?”

“He’s my assistant.

He’s here for the competition with me.

”

The staff understood; competitors could have assistants.

They scanned the badge and opened the gate.

“Right this way, please.

”

Shelia was floored.

She had assumed Lindsey was just another spectator, not a contestant.

How on earth was Lindsey qualified to compete in such an event?

Instead of rushing through the gate, Lindsey turned to Shelia, her eyes narrowing into a triumphant smirk.

“Time to pay up.

”

Flustered, Shelia clenched her jaw and protested, “Wait, that’s not fair.

I meant watching the race, not competing in it.

”

Lindsey’s eyebrows lifted in surprise.

“Everyone here heard you clearly.

You promised that if I could enter this arena, that was enough.

You never specified how.

Shelia, are you really going to deny it in front of everyone?”

“I…” Shelia found herself at a loss for words.

Clinging to Jacob’s arm, she said in a sweet voice, “Mr.

Perry, won’t you defend me? I can’t stand being humiliated by her.

”

Jacob gave Shelia a helpless look; she had dug her own grave.

Yet, she was his girlfriend, and her embarrassment would reflect on him.

He stepped up to shield Shelia, fixing Lindsey with a stern gaze.

“Let’s forget this for my sake, Lindsey.

”
