“Henry, you don’t have to sacrifice your dream for me” Claire spoke in a very low voice. She knew Henry only did it because he cared about her.
Henry glanced at her cokily, and Claire immediately shut her mouth.

Lindsey had already prepared her words. “You’re staying here for your sister, right? If you sign with my company, I can pay you in advance, and can pay for Claire’s treatment
She knew Henry was a person with very strong self–esteem. If she just said she would give him money, he would think it was charity and might even kick her out directly.
As she had expected, Henry’s expression did indeed soften after bearing this
Lindsey pressed on while she had the chance. “The longer Claire’s illness is delayed, the worse it will get. It’s better to treat it as soon as possible. My company will provide accommodation, and you can move in with Claire”
Henry looked thoughtful, staring at Lindsey for a while. “Why are you so determined to hire me?”
Lindsey was taken aback and smiled, saying, “Because I believe in my judgment.”
Henry was stunned, then laughed. “Why are you so confident? Not afraid that I won’t even be able to earn back the salary you pay in advance!”
“If so, I would just admit that I made a mistake. Wait, are you refusing me because you lack confidence in yourself? Look at how high Claire’s expectations are for you. Are you afraid of disappointing her Lindsey raised an eyebrow and countered.
“You can’t provoke me Henry chuckled lightly. “Where’s the contract?”
Lindsey laughed, rummaged in her bag for a while, and then slapped her head. “Oops, my memory is really poor. I left it in my suitcase.”
“Should I go
uld I go back and bring it to you tomorrow?” she suggested
Henry frowned. “No need for that trouble. Claire and I will go with you.”
Lindsey was right, Claire’s illness really couldn’t be delayed any longer. Over the past two years, her health had been gening worse and worse.
Lindsey was naturally very happy to take Henry and Claire to the hotel
However. Lindsey also vomited on the way back. When she arrived at the hotel, her eyes were dizzy and her steps were unsteady. She felt as if a big hand was stirring in her stomach, and she felt very sick,
Claire poked Henry’s elbow and said worriedly. “Henry, it seems Ms. Riley is feeling sick. You should help her a bit
Henry nodded and supported Lindsey’s arm as they walked inside.
At this moment, Sheila and Olivia had just returned from having a meal outside and were still discussing the new bags from Aurelia. Suddenly. Sheila tugged at Olivia’s clothes.
“Mom, isn’t that Lindsey over there?” she asked, pointing to a spot
Olivia squinted her eyes in the direction Sheila was pointing. “It really is. What’s that little bitch doing here?”
“What else! Can’t you see the man beside her? She must be here to spend the night with him. See how pathetic she is, she’s almost clinging to the man” Sheila raised her chin, her face full of contempt
Olivia thought for a moment, then took out her phone and took two photos,
“She’s really hopeless, not even getting herself a decent man. Look at this guy, his clothes are all worn out. I wonder what she sees in him. Maybe he’s good at that thing” Olivia mocked
“Mom, let’s follow them and burst in when they’re doing it. Lindsey will be terrified, and then we can take pictures of her embarrassing state. Sheila flashed a wicked grin, planning to make Lindsey taste the humiliation she had suffered last time,
Olivia smiled. “Sheila, you’re so smart.”
While they were talking, Lindsey had already entered the elevator. Olivia went to the front desk. “Hello, I’m Lindsey’s mother. Could you tell me which room she’s staying in?”

Chapter 22
“Sure, please wait a moment” The receptionist began to search for the registration information. “Ma’am, Ms. Riley’s room number is 806”
Olivia nodded and returned to her own room fint.
“Mom, why are we back? Aren’t we going to find Lindsey?” Sheila looked a bit eager.
“Silly girl, if you go now, they haven’t even started yet, and we won’t see anything,” Olivia said.
Twenty minutes later. Olivia and Sheila arrived at Lindsey’s floor. They found room 806 and knocked on the door frantically
Lindsey opened the door with a frown. Her tone was a bit cold. “Why are you here?”
Olivia glanced at her disdainfully and barged in without saying a word, looking around the room and even checking the wardrobe several times.
Sheila spoke sarcastically. “Lindsey, I never knew that you’re quite a player. Coming all the way to Newhaven to see your lover?”
“What do you mean?” Lindsey asked.
“Stop playing dumb. We just saw you come in here all cuddly with a man, in a very intimate posture, Sheila said mockingly
Lindsey instantly understood what had happened. She asked amusingly. “So, you two are here to catch me in the act?
“No. We were just worned that you might go astray and be deceived by some ill–intentioned people, so we thought we’d come and check on you.” Sheila looked gleeful, and it was clear she wasn’t genuinely concerned about Lindsey.
Olivia ran back with an angry look on her face. “Lindsey, where’s that mant Where did you hide him?”
Lindsey shrugged. “There was never any man”
“You’re lying. My mom and I clearly saw you two come in with your arms around each other Sheila said.
Lindsey was utterly speechless. Suppressing her anger, she shouted, “I said there wasn’t any man. Haven’t you searched everywhere! Get out.”
Olivia still tried to use her position as a stepmother to pressure Lindsey Lindsey, you can’t talk to me like this. I’ve been in your house for so many years, and your dad has never spoken to me this way.”
Lindsey looked at Olivia coldly, a mocking smile curling at the corner of her mouth. “So you think it’s okay to barge in here for no reason? My dad spoils you and you really think you’re a princess!
“In my eyes, you’re nothing but a homewrecker. Get out. Do you hear me? Don’t dirty my room.”
Sheila immediately became angry and said. “Lindsey, how dare you talk to my mom like that! just wait and see how I’ll teach you a lesson today!”
She stared rolling up her sleeves as she spoke. She didn’t believe that she and Olivia couldn’t deal with Lindsey.
Lindsey glanced at her impatiently, then pushed both of them out with one hand each, and slammed the door shut.
Sheila was not willing to give up and kept knocking on the door outside.
Lindsey found the noise annoying and called the hotel lobby directly. In a short while, security came up and took Olivia and Sheila away.
Lindsey snorted with a sneer, looking at the contract on the table whose ink was not yet dry. If Henry had left just a step later, she might have really been entangled with these two today.
The next day, Olivia and Sheila went to the jewelry design competition site.
Sheila had a band–aid on her arm. She complained, “Mom, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. Lindsey is too outrageous. How could she be so arroganc? It would have been great if we could have kicked her out earlier.
Olivia was also unhappy. She said indignantly, “It’s all because your dad isn’t here, and she’s getting bold.
win this time. Didn’t your dad say he would grant you a request? You’re not a little girl anymore, and we should start preparing
“Sheila, you must win your dowry”
