Chapter 928
Carole’s smile widened subtly.
“Actually, this is one of the more understated pieces in my collection.
”
Lindsey nodded, piecing things together.
Given that Carole was engaged to the CEO of Vitality Group, it stood to reason that her wardrobe was filled with custom pieces from high-end designers.
By those standards, this dress was indeed relatively simple.
“Thank you, Miss Larson.
I’ll be sure to clean it and return it to you after the event,” Lindsey said, appreciative.
“Don’t worry about returning it.
It’s yours to keep.
I have many others,”
Carole responded with a soft, reassuring smile.
As she prepared to leave, Carole added, “The celebration will start soon.
I’ll head down first.
Please, change quickly and join us.
”
“Will do,” Lindsey replied, nodding.
Once Carole stepped out and the door clicked shut behind her, the corners of her mouth curled into a sly, almost sinister smile.

Lindsey slipped into the pink dress and examined her reflection.
The dress hugged her perfectly.
She stored her old clothes away, opened the door, and stepped out.
Meanwhile, the banquet hall buzzed with activity as Jordan arrived on the scene.
The guests had all found their seats.
Jordan glanced at the wall clock and was about to ask Carole why Domenic was late, but just then, the door swung open.
Domenic made his entrance in a black, bespoke suit, his dark red tie adorned with a delicate gold filigree pattern.
His shoes were black leather with striking red soles.
He moved with an unhurried grace, his presence commanding and regal, capturing the attention of everyone in the room.
His features were sharp and pronounced, his lips a thin line of cool detachment.
As he walked by, he exuded the undeniable aura of a king.
At the far end of the hall, Kristy caught sight of Domenic instantly.
A surge of excitement nearly propelled her from her seat, but she remained seated, mindful of Becker beside her.
Yet, her eyes remained fixed on Domenic, unable to look away.
The guests murmured, speculating about the identity of this enigmatic, affluent figure until he reached Jordan’s side.
“Grandpa,” Domenic greeted him in a subdued tone.
Jordan’s initial annoyance faded as he noted Domenic’s timely arrival, his irritation swiftly melting away.
Jordan rose from his chair, casting a glance over the gathered crowd.
“Ladies and gentlemen, today marks the 5@th anniversary of the Walsh Group.
It’s my honor to introduce a special guest,” he announced, his voice filling the room.
“This is my grandson, the CEO of Vitality Group, Domenic Walsh.
”
A murmur swept through the assembly as it dawned on everyone that Domenic was not only Jordan’s favored grandson but also the elusive, legendary CEO of Vitality Group whose face few had seen.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
The room fell into a brief, awestruck silence.
Despite many in the crowd having dealings with Vitality Group, quite a few business magnates were seeing its CEO for the first time.
They marveled at Domenic’s remarkable composure and enviable fortune.
How did he get so lucky to be born into such a prestigious family? They wondered.
Domenic wasn’t just privileged; he was also hardworking and skilled, earning Jordan’s endorsement.
Young, successful, and strikingly handsome, he seemed to personify life’s unfair blessings.
The thought of their own families’ less impressive heirs prompted a silent, collective shake of the head and sighs of dismay.
