Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Chapter 572

The officer stressed the need for secrecy in the investigation, cautioning against divulging any details to outsiders.

After the officer departed, Sumner furrowed his brow, studying Lindsey intently.

“Your boyfriend seems to wield significant influence.

”

After a momentary pause, Lindsey inquired, “Does he now?”

A faint smile touched Sumner’s lips.

“The fact that he can summon the police at will speaks volumes, doesn’t it?”

Pondering for a moment, Lindsey considered that the typical procedure would involve her visiting the police station to provide a statement.

Yet, here the police had come to her as though entrusted by Domenic.

Perhaps it was due to the sensitive nature of the case, preventing a public investigation.

Also, Domenic could possess connections within the police force.

Lindsey offered Sumner a gentle smile, saying, “Sumner, you’re letting your imagination run wild.

I must return to the company.

Please remain here for the time being.

”

With a nod, Sumner kept his thoughts to himself until Lindsey was out of sight, murmuring, “Really? Am I perhaps… overthinking this?”

While seated comfortably on the sofa at home, Shelia juggled a small white box in one hand while scanning the trending topics with the other.

A faint smile danced at the corners of her mouth, and suddenly, she erupted into laughter.

Curious about her daughter’s sudden mirth, Kendra descended the stairs and asked, “Shelia, what’s brought about this gleeful mood?”

Fixing her gaze on the small box held in Shelia’s grasp, Kendra asked, “What’s in that box?”

Seeing her mother, Shelia’s demeanor grew even more self-assured.

She lifted the box before Kendra and said, “This, Mom, is my solution for dealing with Lindsey!”

“What precisely is it?” Kendra took the box and scrutinized it from all angles.

The only inscription adorning it was the phrase “On Trial.

”

“They’re weight-loss pills,” Shelia raised an eyebrow, meeting her mother’s gaze.

“I managed to bribe one of Lindsey’s employees and found her attempt to help an employee shed some pounds with these weight-loss pills.

Little did Lindsey know that the pills she acquired were swapped with inferior ones carrying potent side effects.

Here, feast your eyes!”

Shelia continued, passing her phone to Kendra, “Now, no matter how she explains it away, she’ll find herself tongue-tied!”

Kendra went through the trending topics on weight-loss pills, getting a glimpse of the whole story.

An expression of astonishment crept onto her face as she regarded Shelia.

“Shelia, did you truly orchestrate this?”

Arms folded across her chest, Shelia lounged on the sofa and replied, “Ever since Lindsey’s company’s inception, I’ve planted spies within its ranks.

Mom, didn’t you advise me that to counter Lindsey, one must covertly devise a strategy, exploit her vulnerabilities, and then strike decisively?”

During her last visit to Lindsey’s company, Shelia’s intent was not mere mockery but covert observation.

True to her intuition, she noticed Xiomara.

Kendra, taken aback by her daughter’s revelations, felt a mixture of surprise and pride.

Seating herself, she clasped Shelia’s hand, seemingly feeling a newfound maturity within her.

“Shelia, you’re finally mature enough!”
