Lets see who comes out on top.
Alright, Shelia. Theres a crowd watching us. Lets move on from this. Observing that the situation was spiraling out of control, Olivia hurried over to intervene and calm Shelia.
Shelia managed to cool down a bit, remembering where they were. They were in a high-end restaurant surrounded by high society. She was a known figure, Jacobs girlfriend. A public altercation with Lindsey would surely damage her image.
Realizing this, Shelia reluctantly suppressed her anger, though she still seethed inside.
Sumner returned at that very moment, breaking the tension in the air.
Whats happening here?

It wasnt until that moment that Shelia noticed Lindsey having lunch with another man. While this man may not have been as striking as Domenic, he was also a looker.
Darn it! Why did Lindsey always manage to attract such good-looking guys?
Shelias irritation grew, but upon further reflection, her jealousy disappeared. After all, if a man had no wealth, what good was his good-looking? They were easy on the eyes but had nothing much else to offer.
Having Jacob was sufficient for her. While Jacob might not be the most handsome, he was wealthy and influential. Once she married into the Perry family, Lindsey wouldnt hold a candle to her!
After soothing herself with these thoughts, Shelia felt considerably improved.

Nothing. With a warm smile, Lindsey offered to Sumner, How about we find another spot to dine? A madwoman is causing a commotion in here, and its quite bothersome.
She then grabbed her handbag and strolled out of the restaurant.
Sumner didnt know about the situation, but he had no alternative but to trail behind Lindsey.
Domenic brought up the rear, and as he passed by Shelia, he cast a chilly sidelong glance at her.
He grasped the crucial part of Lindseys incomplete sentence.
Was what had transpired that night in any way connected to Shelia?
Domenics gaze turned intense, and a chilly, mischievous grin played on his Lips.
Sumner had lost his appetite the moment he learned about Lindseys engagement. Dining together with the couple had been extremely uncomfortable. Now, he had managed to extricate himself from that awkward scenario and had no desire to continue it.
Linds, something just came up for me tonight. Im already full from earlier. Lets take a rain check.
Lindsey felt somewhat apologetic. She had intended to treat Sumner to a nice meal as a gesture of gratitude, but she hadnt anticipated Shelias sudden appearance disrupting her plans.
I apologize for not being able to provide you with better entertainment today.
No big deal. Its a joy seeing you today. Next time you are available, we can hang out alone.
Once Sumner had spoken, he sensed an intense gaze fixed on him. Not wanting to push further, he quickly waved at Lindsey and bid, I will leave now. Bye!
