Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 527

The unexpected situation in the parking lot kept replaying in Lindsey's mind. Zayn’s every action, look, and tone, just made Lindsey feel suffocated.

The expensive cuisine seemed tasteless to Lindsey as she absentmindedly chewed on her food.

Yvette finished a whole lobster by herself, only to look up and notice that Lindsey, who was sitting across from her, only ate two bites and was obviously distracted.

She waved her hand in front of Lindsey and only stopped after she succeeded in bringing Lindsey out of her thoughts.

"What are you thinking about?" Yvette blinked rapidly and looked at Lindsey eagerly.

Lindsey cut off a piece of meat and put it in her mouth. She looked down to avoid Yvette's gaze. "Nothing."

Since Lindsey was reluctant to tell her, Yvette did not force it.

It was the coldest time of the year. When Lindsey left home in the morning, the sky was still not bright yet, and when she got home in the evening, it was already dark outside.

Before the school holiday, Lindsey and Yvette finally finished the work related to the technical meeting. This also meant that Lindsey’s busy period had come to an end for the moment.

Hemera's President's Office.

Shaun's fingers were tapping rapidly on the keyboard, which did not affect his ability to talk to Lindsey. "No, you must attend."

Lindsey looked helpless. "Brother, I’m really not interested in this kind of cocktail party."

Shaun was unmoved. He stopped what he was doing and looked up at Lindsey with thoughtful eyes. "You must get used to these kinds of events."

"I'd rather stay home with Dezi." Lindsey fully expressed her reluctance.

Shaun got up and patted her shoulder. "You can bring Dezi with you if you want. Now hurry up and go about your business. This is non-negotiable. As an investor, you must attend."

Lindsey was pushed by Shaun and forced to walk out of his office. She did not give up and tried to fight for her rights. "I should have the right to say no as an investor."

"You don't." Shaun had absolute authority and was unwilling to compromise.

After saying that, he let go of Lindsey and pulled open his office door. "Remember to dress up nicely." Lindsey rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave.

Hemera and Wendell Corporation held a cocktail party in honor of the technical exchange meeting. This was Callum's usual style, but this time, Shaun was also dragged into it and even made sure that Lindsey would go.

Since Lindsey could not refuse, she simply went with the flow and went to the party without much thought to dress up. However, Shaun obviously guessed Lindsey’s intention and got Yvette to pick Lindsey up that day.

“Lindsey, why are you dressed so simply? No, no, no...you must change your dress and shoes. You need more makeup too! No, no, no...this won’t do.” Yvette sized Lindsey up while commenting on Lindsey’s outfit from head to toe.

Then, Yvette looked at the time on her phone and smiled like a sly kitten. "It's still early, so there's still time. Let's go get you changed."

Lindsey did not say a word when she got into the car. When she heard this, she helplessly held her forehead. "God! Are you and my brother deliberately trying to torture me?"

Lindsey and Yvette were amused by her pompous performance and compliments. They did not go downstairs until a few minutes before the party started.

Her dress was a little long, so Lindsey held the hem of her dress with one hand and covered her chest with her other hand uncomfortably. Yvette saw it and pulled her hand down. “OMG, stop covering yourself! It’s not even that low. Lindsey, you have such a nice figure, so sometimes, you just gotta be bold and show them off a little, ya know?”

Lindsey ignored Yvette’s words and used her hand to cover her cleavage. She squinted at Yvette and said, "Your figure is better than mine, so why don't you show it?"

Yvette pretended to be shy and covered her face. "I’m afraid that Shaun will get mad!"

‘So much for being bold...’ Lindsey thought she was used to Yvette and Shaun’s lovey-dovey behavior, but she still could not help it and rolled her eyes.

"Wimp!" Lindsey shook her head and said to Yvette, "My brother really has his control over you."

Yvette did not think much of it and winked at her. "Who knows, maybe I’ll be controlling him next time."

‘This little cheeky monkey…’

This joint party held by Wendell Corporation and Hemera was naturally lavish. When Lindsey and Yvette arrived, there were still not that many people yet, so they both found a corner and sat down.

Lindsey intended to hide in a corner with no one around, then eat something and find a chance to sneak away. However, after Yvette saw Shaun, Yvette slipped away, and the empty seat next to Lindsey was soon occupied by a young man.

Before Lindsey could greet the man, she saw another person she did not expect to see.
