NovelEnglishChapter 688 Sumner, feeling Lindsey's intense gaze for the first time, couldn't meet her eyes.
He looked away, asking quietly, "Why are you staring atlike that? Is there something on my face?" Lindsey's eyes flickered with uncertainty.
"Sumner, what's your mother's maiden name?" Sumner was puzzled by her sudden interest in his mother.
He shrugged and said, "I'm not sure.
My godparents rarely spoke of her.
They just said she died in an accident.
I've asked them, but they always hesitate, like there's something they're not telling me.
Sometimes, I wonder if there was more to my mom's death, and that's why they're so secretive.
" Sumner's confirmation left Lindsey's suspicion hanging in the air.
"Why'd you bring this up all of a sudden?" Sumner asked, a puzzled look on his face.
Lindsey, without hesitation, asked, “Remember what Ms.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGarcia said earlier? Is Everleigh Pearson your mom?" Sumner stood there, stunned.
Ruby had just warned them not to turn out like their mothers, mentioning her past two students. One was Lindsey's mom, and the other must be...
The realization hit him like a thunderbolt.
He stared at Lindsey, his thoughts racing.
"But... If Everleigh really was my mom, why would they keep it a secret from me?" Suddenly, Lindsey wished she could take her words back.
If Mr.
and Mrs.
Lopez and Ms.
Garcia hadn't told Sumner, there had to be reasons they kept it under wraps.
Why had she jumped to conclusions? "I'm just guessing.
It seems far-fetched.
I've never heard anything about Everleigh having a kid.
Maybe I'm overthinking it.
"With that, Lindsey turned and continued on her way.
Sumner, however, remained rooted to the spot, unable to shake off the feeling.
Once Lindsey was gone, Sumner started digging for information on Everleigh, but nothing substantial cup.
It was only a piece of scandalous rumor that grabbed his attention.
Rumor had it, Everleigh had taken her life by leaping from a building after being abandoned by a wealthy tycoon. The rumors about Everleigh's suicide weren't completely true, but Sumner needed to uncover the truth.
He had to find out if she really was his mother and what had led to her tragic end.
Lindsey got hlate that night.
Domenic was still up, lounging on the sofa with a magazine, waiting for her.
Eager to share her day, Lindsey told Domenic about her visit to the Vitality Group to discuss acquiring Cherish.
She was curious to hear his thoughts.
With a lift of his eyebrows, Domenic replied, “That's great.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI'm sure the Vitality Group will take good care of Cherish.
" Leaning against him, Lindsey said, "I'm glad you agree.
Oh, I met the CEO of the Vitality Group today.
He's quite different than I expected, but his vision and generosity are impressive.
He's truly made a nfor himself in the business world!"
Wyatt, who had worked with grand knew Domenic for years and knew him inside out, was great at impersonating Domenic and recited all the words Domenic told him.
What Wyatt said to Lindsey precisely aligned with what Domenicham wanted to express to her. Domenic felt a surge of happiness when Lindsey praised the CEO.
"You know, the CEO's last nis Walsh.
Ever heard of the Walsh family, the big deal in Morcastle?" Lindsey suddenly mentioned.
Domenic's heart raced.
He answered quietly, "Yeah, I've heard a bit about them.
" "Today, I also ran into Kristy there.
