Chapter 4
“Find that woman, even if it means turning the whole city upside down.
By the way, the person in charge of the project abroad just died of malaria.
If you can’t find that woman, I’ll have you take over the project instead.
”
Emilio looked at the man who towered over him in shock and surprise, and it took him a long time to come to his senses.
He couldn’t help but feel worried about that woman.
It was known to all that Domenic was like a cheetah.
Whether his prey would live or die depended on his mood.
Whoever had slept with Domenic last night dared to just leave him the morning after.
Whoever she was, she had guts!

The woman in question, Lindsey, took a taxi straight home.
Kendra and Chayce’s vicious plan kept replaying in her mind.
Furious, she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails pierced into her flesh.
No, she couldn’t let them get away with this.
She had to do something.
She had to expose their true colors!
After sorting out her thoughts, Lindsey returned home with a calm expression, as though nothing had happened.
As soon as she entered the house, her father, Benny Stewart, stood up from the sofa.
“Where were you last night? I called your teacher and was told that you never went back to your dormitory,” he questioned in a low growl.

His angry eyes were bloodshot, and he was clearly a ticking time bomb.
“Benny, don’t get mad.
It’s not healthy.
Lindsey is still young, and she has a lot to learn.
” Kendra pretended to be considerate, urging Benny to calm down.
Then, she looked at Lindsey with a feigned empathetic expression.
“Lindsey, please don’t blame your father for being angry with you.
After all, you’re a girl, and we care about your safety.
Do you know how anxious your father and I were when we learned that you never returned to your dorm? We were so worried that something bad might’ve happened to you.
What should we have done if that were the case?
It’s not that we care about the reputation of our family; what we care about is you.
”
Kendra’s eyes were filled with worry as she spoke.
If Lindsey hadn’t overheard Kendra plotting against her with Chayce last night, Kendra’s “concerned parent” act would’ve fooled her.
But now, Lindsey was sober and knew exactly what Kendra was up to.
As expected, Kendra’s words successfully added fuel to the flame, making Benny even more angry.
“Nonsense! You’re already over twenty, yet you still act like a child!
It seems I’ve spoiled you too much.
Today, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Benny picked up a hard stick and swung it at Lindsey!
