ログインChapter 49: The Calm Before the StormMy life lately has been so peaceful and smooth that it almost felt unreal.Levi’s project, after receiving my investment, was progressing more smoothly than expected.Thanks to Lina, the company was running quite well.The two children showed no resistance or dislike toward me.A sense of peace that was almost unbelievable.I sat on the balcony, leisurely sipping tea, a sense of doubt lingering in my mind.“Why does this feel so off? Why is everything so peaceful? Could this be the calm before the storm?”Sure enough, my cursed intuition was always right. Just as I was enjoying a relaxing morning, my father called.Seeing the name Joseph Oliver appear on my phone screen instantly ruined my mood. I picked up the call with little enthusiasm, and the voice on the other end spoke hurriedly.“Are you busy today? If not, let’s meet.”I frowned. I already had a good idea why he wanted to see me.Since I had nothing to do today anyway, it might be interes
Chapter 48: You are Ella Dominic!Before leaving, that uncle turned back and tried to speak ill of me to Leo.“I’m only saying this because I care about you. A wife is meant to take care of the family, not sit here meddling in the family’s important matters. A woman without manners like her will cause trouble sooner or later.”At that moment, Leo, who had been silent the whole time, stood up. He walked over, placed his hand on my shoulder, and let out a cold laugh.“I stayed silent to see just how foolish you could be, but it seems you’ve mistaken that for fear.”Leo lightly patted my shoulder as if telling me not to worry, then stepped forward to stand in front of me. His gaze turned sharp as he spoke coldly.“My wife is not someone you have the right to judge. I’ll consider those words as the ramblings of old age and let them pass, but since you are already old, you should hand over everything you are currently managing.”The man looked as if he had just been sentenced to death. Wit
Chapter 47: Greedy RelativesWhen I returned home with the two children, I saw that Leo was already waiting in the living room. Upon seeing us, he walked over and gently patted the children’s heads with a warm gaze.“Did you have a good day at school?”I was startled, suddenly feeling a bit guilty. I hadn’t told Leo about what happened at school today. Fortunately, Lilya was quite strong, so only that boy ended up bruised while she remained unharmed.Leo’s question didn’t just make me uneasy, Lilya must have felt the same, because I saw her small shoulders twitch slightly.Lilya forced a smile and replied.“It was fine.”Leo looked at me as if to confirm whether what she said was true, and of course, I nodded in agreement.After learning the reason why Lilya had fought with her classmate, I felt even less inclined to tell Leo. The story about the children’s mother, Bianca, was always a sorrow Leo did not want to revisit.Leo smiled, looking satisfied.“I’m glad you didn’t cause any tr
Chapter 46: A Child Without a MotherIn my previous life, I was afraid of affecting Leo, so I did not dare to use the Dominic name. Now, after deeply experiencing the power of a great family, I realized that everything could be resolved easily.Having a powerful family as backing truly was a kind of happiness!Moreover, this school also received a great deal of sponsorship from the Dominic family, so naturally, they would not dare to handle things carelessly.When the child’s mother heard what I said, she seemed somewhat intimidated, but she still tried to pressure the teacher.“Fine, let’s check the cameras and see who’s right and who’s wrong. Don’t think that just because you mention some big family name, I’ll be afraid! I don’t believe a school would raise such an ill-mannered child.”Lilya angrily tried to respond, but I quickly placed my hand on her shoulder to stop her.I had seen many people like this before. It was originally just a matter of two children fighting, but they de
Chapter 45: A Contractual RelationshipThe more Leo spoke, the more unreasonable he sounded. I stood up angrily, intending to leave, but Leo quickly grabbed my wrist.“Don’t you have anything to explain to me?”I frowned, looking at the large hand gripping my wrist.Explain? What exactly was I supposed to explain to Leo?He was the one who had clearly drawn the line, saying we would not interfere in each other’s private lives. I still clearly remembered how confidently Leo had told me not to delude myself into thinking he would ever love me.And now he was using that ridiculous title of husband and wife to bind me?I pulled my hand out of Leo’s grip and replied.“Why should I explain anything to you? Leo Dominic, you’re overreacting! Don’t forget, we’re only in a contractual relationship.”After saying that, I bent down to pick up my handbag from the chair and decisively walked upstairs, leaving Leo standing there, his expression unknown.That evening, I made an excuse that I wasn’t f
Chapter 44: An Affair?Lina seemed very satisfied when she saw Nolan’s unpleasant expression. She stepped closer, poked at the business card with her finger, and spoke with extreme sarcasm.“Take a good look! If your character is already bad, your eyesight shouldn’t be that terrible, right?”I saw Nolan’s hand trembling, though I couldn’t tell whether he was confused or angry.Nolan looked at me, his gaze as if he had just been disappointed by betrayal.“What is this supposed to mean? Don’t tell me you used the money you took from the family to build this company?”Oh, so he was smart after all!At least not stupid enough to ask me where I got the money to start this company. If he had really asked that, I would have been completely speechless.I glanced over at Levi Rowen. He remained silent, observing me with an indifferent gaze.I needed to sign the contract with Levi as soon as possible. I couldn’t let Nolan’s foolish appearance ruin this good conversation.“And what does that hav
Chapter 17: One Billion Dollars for Three YearsI smiled, picked up the contract, and read it carefully. Just as Leo had said in my previous life, this contract was truly beneficial to me with no disadvantages.In my previous life, because of that tiny bit of pride and naivety, I had skipped readin
Chapter 16: Marriage ContractEveryone was extremely shocked that I dared to step forward and introduce myself in front of Leo. They were probably all thinking that I was reckless and foolish for not knowing my place.Of course, I was neither reckless nor foolish as they thought.I knew that Leo wa
Chapter 15: They First MetThe reason I agreed to attend today’s party was, of course, not because of Julian Bennett or Dyan’s persuasion. To me, those people held absolutely no meaning at all.The real reason I wanted to come here was because of him, Leo Dominic.Leo Dominic stepped into the banqu
Chapter 14: Childhood Best FriendIn the evening, after getting everything ready, I asked the family driver to take me to the Bennett family’s party.Sitting in the car, I looked outside and let out a sigh.“I didn’t expect the first money I would spend after coming back to life would be on a party
