Chapter 256\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLindsay, there\u2019s something I\u2019m not sure whether I should say.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a brief pause, Veronica turned to look at Lindsay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Lindsay returned to the private room, her demeanor had completely changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She sat down beside Michael. He was distracted, scrolling on his phone. Only after noticing her return did he pull out a perfunctory smile, which made her feel even more unsettled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s call it a night. I want to head back early.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her words stunned everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The birthday party had barely begun-how could it already be ending?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d Michael asked in confusion. \u201cAre you not feeling well, or did something happen?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes. I can\u2019t really handle alcohol. I\u2019m feeling a bit dizzy.\u201d Lindsay smiled faintly as she spoke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her girlfriend was momentarily stunned. \u201cLindsay, since when is your alcohol tolerance so-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before the sentence could finish, Lindsay silenced her with a warning look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael seemed to sense something. He didn\u2019t press further, simply stood up and grabbed his coat. \u201cLet\u2019s go. I\u2019ll take you home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lindsay nodded and said goodbye to her friends and the others. \u201cWe\u2019ll head out first. You guys keep having fun.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael had already paid in advance, so it didn\u2019t affect everyone continuing the party.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing that Lindsay was determined to leave, no one tried to stop her, though Michael\u2019s friends couldn\u2019t help feeling uneasy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Could it be that Michael and Winnie had been too obvious just now, and Lindsay had picked up on something?\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the way out, Michael passed through the front hall of the store but didn\u2019t see Winnie anywhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He still couldn\u2019t figure out why she had been serving today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But that wasn\u2019t something he had the right to question.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the drive back, Lindsay asked, \u201cThat female store manager just now-she\u2019s the second daughter of the Olson family, Winnie, isn\u2019t she?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael hadn\u2019t expected Lindsay to know about it. They happened to reach a traffic light, and the car braked sharply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow do you know?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His expression barely changed, his tone calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cVeronica told me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat else did she say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lindsay lowered her head. \u201cShe said you used to pursue Winnie. Everyone in the circle knows. She said Winnie is a heartless woman.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRumors are just rumors,\u201d Michael said softly. \u201cWe were close growing up, but we were never together. She\u2019s not the kind of person the gossip makes her out to be.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though his words clearly drew boundaries, Lindsay could still hear that he was defending Winnie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael was famous for his gentle, refined demeanor and his fairness in handling matters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even though Lindsay hadn\u2019t known him long, she understood that he wasn\u2019t the type to speak up for another woman in front of his fianc\u00e9e.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet he had done exactly that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No matter how well he tried to hide it, women were sensitive. Others might not notice, but Lindsay felt it immediately\u2014especially after Veronica had told her about the history between the two of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMichael,\u201d Lindsay finally asked, holding back for as long as she could, \u201cdid you deliberately hold my birthday party there today just to provoke her? Am I just a pawn in your game?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael was undoubtedly the best possible marriage prospect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Morrison family\u2019s background was powerful, beneficial to both her family\u2019s business and her own career. Among the wealthy heirs in Goldmont City, Michael had the best reputation, and his looks and bearing were on par with celebrities in the entertainment industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Truth be told, even quietly tolerating the fact that he had a past wasn\u2019t entirely unacceptable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Lindsay was proud-and that store manager was nothing more than an ill-mannered adopted heiress with a messy private life\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t understand why Michael still couldn\u2019t let her go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLindsay, you\u2019re mistaken.\u201d Michael\u2019s voice suddenly turned icy. \u201cI take relationships far more seriously than you think. I can\u2019t stop what outsiders say-but whether you choose to believe it is up to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
