Then she looked at Lindsey with grievance and sobbed, I know you dont like me and dont want me to be with your father, but you shouldnt have done this to me!
Their performance worked. Bennys expression gradually softened.
He shot Lindsey a disappointed glance and then went over to help Kendra up. While softly stroking her belly, he cooed, Alright, alright, I trust you. Shh, no more tears. We dont want to startle the Little one.
Dad, how could you just take her word for it? What if the baby isnt even yours? What if she and Chayce try to plot against you again? Lindsey looked at Benny incredulously. How could her father be so gullible?
Thats enough! Putting an arm on Kendras shoulder, Benny scolded Lindsey, Kendra has already explained herself. What more do you want?
When your mother and I got a divorce, it was Kendra who took care of me. She has done so much for me and our family. Even though you dont like her, you cant just slander her like this!
Besides, this is all Chayces fault, not hers. Speaking of which, I havent gotten even with him yet! When Benny turned around to confront Chayce, he realized that the latter had managed to slip away during his argument with Lindsey.

Nina seemed to see right through Lindseys inner thoughts and seized this opportunity to add fuel to the flames. Sir, dont let this woman fool you, she said solemnly to Domenic. Shes not as innocent as she seems. Look!

Because the pale-faced Lindsey kept silent, Nina smiled even more complacently.
Domenic frowned. He had long since asked someone to deal with the surveillance footage of the hotel, so how could Nina have gotten her hands on this?
Finally, he couldnt help but scrunch up his nose in disgust and take a few steps back from Nina. He just couldnt bear the stench of her cheap perfume any longer.
Then he addressed the crowd, his voice calm but firm.
Lindsey isnt that kind of person.
Lindsey raised her head in surprise. They had only crossed paths a few days ago, and he didnt know her well, but he still made the choice to stand by her when everyone else had their doubts.
It felt as though a ray of light came piercing through the darkness of the night, melting away the coldness in her heart.
