LOGINNolan was thrown aside, the impact so powerful that he lost control of his body and crashed heavily to the ground.Even so, he knew the man standing before him was someone he couldn't hope to resist."Do you think I'll tell you?" he sneered.Dominic let out a quiet sigh. "I advise you to talk. Otherwise, you'll regret it."Nolan burst into wild laughter, as though he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.After laughing for a long while, he looked at Dominic with open mockery. "Dominic, Dominic... with your status and position now, how can you still be this naive?"Dominic paid no attention to the ridicule."That's fine. Before long, not only will you talk, but you'll end up working for me." His voice remained calm, but a chilling cruelty lingered in his eyes.Nolan froze for a moment as a cold shiver ran down his spine. Narrowing his eyes, he stared at Dominic. "You're planning to torture me? Or use drugs to control me?"Dominic smiled meaningfully. "You're about to e
Nolan never would have imagined that what he considered flawless acting appeared riddled with holes in Jewel's eyes.Sometimes, he secretly read certain comments online. Some people had even compared him to a senior actor named Grant. He had quietly taken pride in that comparison, only to suffer a crushing blow instead.Nolan gritted his teeth. "Then why didn't you expose me? Were you deliberately playing with me?""I just wanted to see what your goal was!" Jewel sighed. "After all, what you'd done wasn't exactly an unforgivable crime. If I'd exposed you right away and you turned around and ran, wouldn't that have been letting you off too easily?"Nolan fell silent.Then a vicious glint flashed through his eyes. He quietly pulled out the USB drive and calmly edged toward the doorway.Jewel seemed completely unaware and continued, "Nolan, honestly, I'm pretty curious about you. Hurry up and tell me, who exactly sent you? If you explain everything clearly, maybe after we've known e
As the office lights flicked on, Nolan instantly felt his scalp go numb.His throat dry, he said, "J-Jewel, why are you here?"Jewel stood by the doorway without moving. A faint smile rested on her lips as she replied, "Where I am isn't important. What matters is this... Was this your real reason for getting close to me?""Jewel, let me explain..." Nolan said instinctively."Sure." Jewel pointed at the USB drive plugged into the laptop. "First, explain what's on that USB drive. If it's true, then I'll believe you."Nolan hadn't expected her eyes to be so sharp. Even from the doorway, she had noticed such a tiny USB drive."This is..." He desperately searched for an explanation but couldn't think of one.After several seconds of silence, he finally asked, "When did you start suspecting me?""Suspecting you?" Jewel sounded amused. "I started suspecting you the very first time we met."Nolan stared at her, disbelief written across his face. "How is that possible? I didn't leave a
Dominic let out a cold laugh. "That's only one of his goals. The other is probably to get closer to Jewel. And now it seems... he thinks he's succeeded.""So that's what this is really about?" Autumn asked, equal parts angry and worried. "Then I need to warn my aunt before she falls for it."As she spoke, she picked up her phone to make the call.Dominic stopped her and smiled. "There's no need. She knows exactly what's going on."He took out his phone and opened his call history.Several recent calls between him and Jewel appeared on the screen. After all, for a woman who had been single for 35 years, finally falling for a man wasn't something she would give up on easily....Over the next few days, Jewel and Dominic barely interacted. Instead, she grew increasingly close to Nolan. By the end of the week, she had even given him the key to her office.Dominic knew nothing about it at first. Then one day, while Jewel was away from the company, he returned to the office area and
Dominic gently massaged Autumn's calf. "How's the pressure?"Autumn's eyes curved into crescents. She looked completely relaxed, though her bruised, swollen face made the scene seem slightly absurd.Dominic couldn't help complaining, "Seriously, what was Isabella thinking? Why'd she hit you that hard for no reason?"Autumn's entire body stiffened."W-What Isabella...?" she asked nervously.Dominic realized he'd let something slip, so he laughed it off. "Nothing. I just remembered something from the past.""Oh." Autumn shot him a suspicious look but didn't press the matter. After all, from Dominic's perspective, they had both supposedly fallen from the second floor...…By the afternoon, Dominic checked the time and led Autumn outside. Her ankle still hurt badly. She limped with every step, so Dominic simply carried her on his back.As they passed Jewel's office, she happened to step out at that exact moment. She froze for a second when she saw Dominic.He ignored her complete
Jewel's expression darkened. Irritated, she said, "Fine, I understand what you mean. I'll transfer him to another position, as my personal bodyguard or... assistant."The moment Dominic heard the word assistant, instinctive disgust rose within him. He let out a cold laugh. "Whatever you want."With that, he turned and walked straight to his office.Jewel let out a soft sigh before looking at Nolan. "Nolan, are you okay?"Nolan's face had already gone pale, but he stubbornly replied, "I'm okay... Jewel, you have to believe me. I really didn't hurt her...""Alright, alright." Jewel rubbed her temples and instructed her assistant to arrange for two people to take him to the hospital.As for herself, she returned to her office and contacted Brian, asking the security department to send over the surveillance footage from the area.…Ten minutes later, Jewel received the video, and a slight frown gradually formed on her face.Based on the footage alone, there was no way to determine
Dominic raised an eyebrow. "You know when to bend. That's already better than your younger brother."Elijah replied flatly, "Zachary is an only child. He doesn't have a younger brother.""Is that so?" Dominic smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying it, and lifted his foot.The bodyguards r
Just as Dominic held the menu and prepared to order, his expression shifted.At a nearby table sat a man in his 40s, eating his side dishes with slow, deliberate movements. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and a well-tailored gray suit.A server approached and placed a pack of tissues on the table. The
At that moment, dozens of staff members inside the store struggled to keep up. A handful of managers moved through the crowd, trying to maintain order.Nearly every seat was filled, with customers experiencing White Cosmos No. 1. About 80% of them were women. With so many women moving about, they n
Wendy said eerily, "Now you know how to hit him, but it's too late."If he had been properly taught since childhood, how would Adam have dared to do such a thing?Unfortunately, his parents were trash themselves and failed to understand that truth.Adam's mother's eyes widened. She saw Wendy take
