Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Chapter 555

Shelia, who had been quite pleased just moments ago, was now seething with anger and close to losing her composure.

Benny was utterly stunned, rendered speechless.

Was this poised and refined woman truly the Juanita he used to know?

Juanita’s mere presence made Kendra feel inadequate.

Kendra truly couldn’t compare to Juanita in any way.

Benny’s emotions were a tangled mess at this point.

Kendra called out, “Benny.

” But Benny just glanced at her and walked off without a word.

Kendra shivered involuntarily.

The look he gave her was laced with contempt and disappointment!

She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her skin, as she glared resentfully in the direction Juanita and Lindsey had gone.

The banquet hadn’t started yet, but Juanita secured a seat for Lindsey right near the stage.

The seating order reflected the guests’ status; the seats near the stage were reserved for the elite in the business world.

Benny, by contrast, could only find a place in the distant back corner.

“Your boyfriend can sit here when he arrives,” Juanita said, her smile gentle as she patted the seat next to Lindsey.

Lindsey nodded subtly, her gaze nervously darting around the room.

She recognized several attendees – prominent figures she had seen in financial magazines and on the news.

Being seated among these influential figures with Domenic was something she had never imagined.

Lindsey sat rather stiffly in her chair, hands folded in her lap, trying not to appear overly anxious.

A few prominent business figures, observing Juanita personally organizing Lindsey’s seating, made the first move to engage Lindsey in conversations.

Despite feeling nervous internally, Lindsey maintained her composure.

She engaged in the discussions with elegance and charm, quickly winning over the prominent business figures.

Observing her daughter effortlessly fitting in among the high society, Juanita couldn’t help but feel a sense of contentment.

A faint smile played at the edges of her lips as she looked forward to Lindsey’s boyfriend’s arrival.

She was sure he’d feel inferior compared to these elites.

Then, a particular individual caught Juanita’s eye.

He was clad in a finely tailored suit, his collar pin glittering with diamonds, radiating a sense of authority and sophistication.

“Mr.

Howard.

” Juanita rushed forward to welcome him.

This was Emilio Howard, the vice president of Vitality Group.

His entrance commanded attention, with everyone standing up to show their respect.

Lindsey, too, sat up straighter and focused on Emilio.

He had made it as well.

“Ms.

Lopez, it’s an honor to meet you,” Emilio greeted with a smile, accepting Juanita’s handshake.

“The CEO sends his best wishes to you.

”

Juanita responded with a welcoming grin, “Mr.

Howard, it’s a pleasure to have you here.

If I had been informed earlier, we would’ve had someone at the door to welcome you.

”
