Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Chapter 38

“I can prove that Lindsey’s a cheater!” All of a sudden, Samuel’s plus one, Mary, stepped forward.

Even Kendra and Nina were surprised at this sudden development.

“Last weekend, I ran into Lindsey in a mall.

She was with a man, and she told me herself that the man was her boyfriend.

Also, the man bought her the dress she’s wearing right now! If you don’t believe me, you can check the shop’s surveillance footage.

I swear I’m telling the truth!”

Now that they had not one but two witnesses against Lindsey, almost everyone in the hall believed she was guilty.

After all, the second witness was Samuel’s plus one; they doubted she’d slander Lindsey for no reason.

Now, almost everyone present believed that Lindsey was promiscuous in her private life.

They couldn’t fathom how a woman Like her could ever replace a man willing to marry her.

Benny’s face turned livid with rage and shame.

How he wished he could slap Lindsey on the spot!

Much to everyone’s surprise, Chayce suddenly came over and affectionately took Lindsey’s hand with a doting look on his face.

“Lindsey, as long as you’re willing to turn over a new leaf and be with me wholeheartedly, then I don’t give a damn about what you’ve done.

”

His forgiving words caused the guests to stir.

“Wow, what a broadminded man!”

“No, he’s just blind.

He’s so infatuated with her that he’s willing to overlook her red flags.

She’d better marry him ASAP, or else she’ll never replace a decent man who’ll love her.

”

“My theory is that he’s only forgiving Lindsey because she just inherited a hefty sum from her mother.

I guess she will have to swallow her grievances in silence.

In the end, she may lose every penny she has!”

People discussed the matter heatedly; some were moved by Chayce’s grand gesture while others were rational enough to see right through his insincere promise.

Kendra and Chayce’s scheme was to take advantage of Lindsey’s vulnerable moment in front of

everyone.

Once she had hit rock bottom, Chayce would step in, offering forgiveness and playing the role of her knight in shining armor.

They expected that Lindsey, moved by his forgiveness, would become his puppet from then on.

So, it didn’t matter what others thought!

As long as they could completely manipulate Lindsey, then her mother’s and even the Stewart family’s assets would eventually belong to them.

It was only a matter of time!

Giddy with excitement, Chayce got down on one knee and took out the engagement ring he had prepared in advance.

“Will you marry me, Lindsey?”

The guests held their breath, eagerly awaiting Lindsey’s response.

To them, Lindsey was sure to be swept off her feet by Chayce’s romantic proposal and would surely say ‘yes’ on the spot.

Just then, the door to the banquet hall was suddenly violently kicked open.

“Sorry, but she’s taken.

”

Shocked, everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice.

At the door, a handsome, dignified-looking man strode into the banquet hall.

Wearing a well-cut navy blue suit, the man adjusted the cuffs on his sleeves with his slender fingers while scanning the crowd with his deep-set eyes.

The way he walked seemed casual, but there was something about him that made him look like a nobleman.

He had a magical, gravitational pull, and everyone around couldn’t take their eyes off him.

Kendra and the others in the front row also turned to look at the unexpected guest, shock written all over their faces.

Who was this man?

With all eyes on him, he walked directly to the stage.

Lindsey was also surprised by his sudden arrival.

Just minutes ago, she had resigned herself to the fact that he’d never show up, thinking he regretted their deal.

She had been so depressed at the thought, but she managed to convince herself to carry out her plan with or without him.
