With Jacobs backing, the Stewart family werent facing ruin anytime soon.
Suddenly, Shelia and Jacob were the stars, showered with compliments and attention.
Lindsey, didnt you bring your boyfriend? Shelia asked, her smile a challenge.
Shelias words triggered a memory for those around her.
Right, isnt Lindsey engaged? Why didnt she bring her fianc here with her?
I recall the man who was engaged to Lindsey appeared wealthy.
Probably from some well-off family, I think.
The two daughters of the Stewart family are set to marry into some rich families. Quite a bright future ahead for them.
Listening to these conversations, Shelias joy grew. She was determined to humiliate Lindsey today.
Youre all mistaken. Shelia scanned the crowd and declared, The man who got engaged to Lindsey was paid to act as her fianc. Her ex -boyfriends a notorious womanizer. You cant blame her for trying to pull one over on everyone. Lindsey, you might want to clarify things for everyone to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Whats your take on that?
The crowd looked at Lindsey with scorn.
What? So, Lindsey hired a man to play the part of a wealthy man at the engagement party? What possessed her to do something like that?
Shes just overly obsessed with appearances. No wonder she fell out with her family. If she were my daughter, Id give her a couple of good slaps.

Listening to these discussions, a gentle smile graced Lindseys Lips.

She didnt get mad. But her reaction triggered anger in Shelia, who felt like her efforts were in vain.
Yes, given that you all know my ex-boyfriends a jerk, why would you expect me to be engaged to him? Lindsey scanned the room and spoke calmly but promptly turned the situation around.
Kendra explained, Lindsey, we only learned of this at your engagement party.
There was still a serene grin at the edges of Lindseys lips. Is that so? I remember that Chayce went to see you before the engagement party and even wanted to molest you, didnt he? He claimed he had too much to drink that night, but I have a question for everyone. Which husband would do something with his mother-in-law just because he was drunk? Doesnt this say a lot about his character? Yet, Kendra, you never mentioned it to me and went ahead with the engagement party as planned. Are you daring to claim that this wasnt intentional on your part?
Kendras face paled. She had aimed to embarrass Lindsey, but now she was entangled in the mess.
All eyes shifted to Kendra.
Lindseys words held some weight. In situations like this, Kendra should have questioned Chayces moral character. If Kendra genuinely had Lindseys best interests at heart, she should have looked into Chayce to some extent.
Considering Lindsey uncovered Chayces true nature, how could Kendra have missed it?
It seemed clear Kendra chose not to delve into Chayces background.
