She pointed at Leonel, her voice trembling with anger.

“Just wait and see.

I’ll call the police to have you arrested!”

Lindsey released her grip on Leonel and approached Kendra, her gaze icy.

“Fine, go ahead and call the police.

Explain to them the reason for our altercation today.

Leonel might get detained for a few days for assaulting you.

Just be cautious not to stir up any more trouble!”

Kendra cast a chilly glance at Lindsey.

Lindsey was cunning and persuasive.

However, upon hearing her words, Kendra did feel a slight hesitation creeping in.

“Humph, let’s wait and see.

” Kendra shot a harsh look at Lindsey and limped out of the house.

Once Kendra had departed, Lindsey’s attempt to maintain her composure crumbled, and her posture slumped.

Thankfully, Leonel was there to catch her and prevent her from falling.

“Linds, are you alright?”

Lindsey shook her head, her complexion drained of color.

She wasn’t doing well.

“Don’t worry, Leonel.

Let’s head back for now.

We should consider the long run in this situation.

“Alright.

Leonel assisted Lindsey into the car and drove towards downtown.

Lindsey gazed out at the night sky, clouds hiding the moon, the cold wind entering the car, chilling, but not as much as the coldness within her.

Juanita’s apartment had been destroyed by fire, so Leonel had to stay temporarily at his research institute while Lindsey returned to the apartment shared by Domenic and her.

She pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The interior was shrouded in darkness.

It appeared that Domenic wouldn’t be returning tonight.

Lindsey lay on the bed they once shared, her fingers tracing the covers that held his scent.

She fixed her gaze on the ceiling, her emotions carefully concealed.

Lindsey spent the whole night wide awake, not falling asleep until dawn broke.

By the time she woke, evening had already crept in.

Sitting up in bed, she watched the setting sun spill its golden light through the curtains, bathing her in a warm glow.

After a long while, Lindsey reached for her phone, which lay tossed aside.

With a blank expression, she dialed a number.

On the other end was Nancy, busy at the office.

“Hey, Linds.

How are you holding up?” Nancy asked, her tone warm and concerned.

She’d been managing all the company’s business alone, allowing Lindsey to focus on her mother’s situation without additional stress.

Lindsey’s voice was raspy, betraying her fatigue.

“Nancy, I’m still tied up with everything here.

I hate that you’re left to shoulder all the work these days.

Nancy’s reply was lighthearted.

“Oh, stop it.

We’re not just best friends, but business allies too.

It’s no trouble at all.

Just remember, I’m expecting an extra-long vacation after all this is over!”
