LOGINObviously, without the Hales' consent or the other residents on the street, Dominic couldn't get in.He didn't foolishly wait around, either. Instead, he immediately called a car.Less than half an hour later, he arrived on another street. The layout there looked very similar to the previous one. Armed guards also stood watch at the entrance.Dominic walked up and said politely, "I'd like to visit the Harris family. Please let them know that a descendant of Harold Fleming is here to see them."The guards sized him up for a moment before nodding.Dominic waited quietly.About ten minutes later, a green jeep drove out and stopped at the gate.A girl of about 15 stepped out and called, "Get in the car quickly!"Dominic froze for a moment. He had seen the girl before. She was the Harris family's granddaughter. What surprised him even more was that the Harris family had actually sent someone to pick him up personally.Hearing her call out, Dominic quickly walked over.Suzy smiled
Jewel had no choice but to release the corner of his jacket when she saw how determined he was.Dominic went to the restroom, splashed water on his face, and then left the room.The moment he stepped out of the hotel, a flicker of uncertainty crossed his face.Daryon was prosperous and bustling, but it was also completely unfamiliar. He didn't know a single person here, yet he had come to accomplish something extremely difficult.He needed to take Jessica away from the Hales and make the Andersons back down.He looked up at the massive sign of the Cloud Court Hotel. The Anderson Group logo was displayed prominently across it. That fact alone spoke volumes about the scale of the corporation behind it.The uncertainty, however, didn't last long. A faint smile touched Dominic's lips. 'If I were an ordinary man, I'd naturally think twice about this. But now... I'm no ordinary man. I'm the world's only transcendent being. The only... god.'Dominic's gaze sharpened. He hailed a cab an
The weather remained cold, and patches of ice covered the ground throughout the city.The holiday atmosphere wasn't as strong as it had been in previous years. The streets were quiet, with no parades or brass bands filling the air. Only strands of purple, green, and gold decorations hanging from porches and balconies gave the city a faint festive touch.Even during the holiday season, many employees were still busy around the airport.Jewel stepped out beside Dominic and glanced at her phone. "Dom, JewelMed only has one flagship store in Daryon. The second floor serves as office space, and all the employees here work there."Even so, it's still Mardi Gras, so hardly anyone is working. Let's get a hotel room and settle in first."Dominic considered it for a moment and nodded. "That works."Going straight to the Hale residence would be too abrupt. It was better to get settled first.After hailing a taxi, Dominic spent some time searching before choosing one of the most luxurious h
Autumn's eyes shimmered with tears as she pouted. "What if I have a son? You're not allowed to dislike sons!""A son? That's great! Time to dust off the dad belt!" Dominic replied with a grin.Autumn burst out laughing and lightly punched him in the chest. "You're terrible! Sons and daughters are the same. You have to treat them equally!"...After spending a long time comforting her, Dominic finally got Autumn to sleep. Tear tracks still marked her face.He couldn't sleep. Quietly, he stepped into the backyard.Stephen strolled over at an unhurried pace. He had been drinking, and his face was still flushed, though his mind remained clear. "What time is your flight?""6:30 a.m.," Dominic answered softly and took a few steps forward.Dry leaves covered the ground. Under his feet, they crumbled into pieces with faint crackling sounds.The moment he learned something had happened to Jessica, he booked a ticket to Daryon. Unfortunately, the earliest available flight was the follow
The next day, Dominic looked a little pale.He boarded the helicopter with Autumn.Quite a few people came out to see him off.Oliver frowned, glanced around twice, and asked curiously, "Where are those two? Still sleeping? Go wake them up!"The maid acknowledged him and was about to head inside.Dominic quickly stopped her. "Uh, it's getting late! I'm heading out, so don't wake them."Based on his estimate, the sisters probably wouldn't get up until evening.After the helicopter took off, Autumn held his hand and asked curiously, "Dom, why is your calf trembling?""Is it?" Dominic replied calmly, "It's not trembling. You're seeing things!""Oh."…By the time they arrived in Skyline City, it was around noon.There was a helipad behind the Garcia villa. When the helicopter landed, Stephen and Jade were already waiting.The moment she stepped off, Autumn rushed over. "Dad! Mom!"It was the first Mardi Gras Autumn had ever spent away from home.Carrying a large pile of gif
There was no surprise. No one answered.In the chat window, every message Dominic had sent since morning showed only gray ticks.Jessica's last reply was still the one she had sent a little after 11:00 p.m. the previous night.Isabella frowned when she saw it. "That's a bit strange."Dominic tried calling Jessica again, but the call failed to connect.The failed call left him slightly irritated.Suddenly, his phone chimed.Dominic immediately looked down.A message from Jessica had arrived.Jessica: [I'm sorry, Dom. I've been a bit busy during Mardi Gras!]Seeing the message, Dominic quietly let out a breath of relief.He didn't think much of it. The Hales' affairs were even more complicated than most, so it was normal for her to be busy.After spending some time outside with Isabella, he returned to the Sinclairs' villa.The next day, from early morning onward, Dominic received a nonstop stream of calls and messages offering holiday wishes.Most were from people at the c
Jessica felt a flicker of surprise when she heard that. "All of a sudden, I kind of admire your ex-wife."Dominic shook his head, his tone calm. "That's all in the past."Jessica studied him, then asked abruptly, "Hey, if that Benjamin really comes back, what do you think your ex-wife will do?""
After eating and drinking her fill, Jessica rubbed her stomach and let out a contented sigh. "Ah, I'm so full!"Dominic glanced over and saw that she had lifted her top slightly, exposing a smooth, pale belly that caught the eye. He frowned. "Behave yourself. There are people here.""People?" Jess
Rosie heard the remark, and a flash of resentment crossed her eyes. If an ordinary person had dared speak to her that way, they would have paid for it.Jessica, however, was different. The Hale family was no weaker than the Jones family, and the relationship between the two households remained uncl
Max was not smart, but with Ryan gone, his sister was his entire world.He did not hesitate. He stepped in front of the basement doorway and shielded Yara behind him. His eyes were fierce, like a wolf's, locked on William at the stairs.William Hayes felt his heart shudder under that gaze. He clen
