Dominic drew a deep breath before speaking. "Clement should still be in the villa."

"Isn't Clement right here…" David replied instinctively.

The next second, realization struck. He ground his teeth and said, "You mean Clement's body is still inside the house?"

Dominic lowered his voice. "If nothing unexpected happened, yes."

"Damn it. Damn it!" David's eyes reddened as he roared in fury. "That vicious woman. She… Where did she put Clement?"

By the end, his voice shook.

Dominic asked evenly

  • She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back   Chapter 510

    Dominic left Jessica's place and drove straight to the company.He had promised Katherine that they would pick up Lilith together, and he could not break that promise.As he approached the building, he spotted a slender figure in a black dress from a distance. She raised her right hand and waved repeatedly. Beside her stood a woman in a white dress, smiling as she watched him approach.Both women had slender figures and striking beauty that drew immediate attention. Their faces looked remarkably alike, nearly seventy percent similar, giving them the appearance of twin sisters and attracting countless glances."Why is she here…" Dominic muttered as he slowly brought the car to a stop in front of them.Isabella quickly slid into the passenger seat. "Honey, where were you this afternoon? We've been waiting here for so long.""I had some things to take care of," Dominic replied.Katherine glanced at the passenger seat, then quietly climbed into the back. "Alright. Lily's about to fi

  • She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back   Chapter 509

    Dominic suddenly clenched his fists. A strange feeling rose within him. Although the woman seemed to be speaking to Jessica, the words felt directed at him. It almost sounded like a threat."Mom, what are you talking about? Who's trying to hurt me?" Jessica snapped, irritation creeping into her voice.Linda chuckled softly. "Haha, then I must have misspoken. A mother worries when her child is far away. You're all the way out in Skyline City. Sometimes, I worry so much that I can't even sleep at night."Jessica's expression softened. She realized she might have been too sensitive. Her mother was probably just worried about her. Dominic was not a bad person. He would be her future husband, and that alone made her feel protected.The thought filled Jessica with quiet warmth.Her cheeks flushed slightly as she said, "Mom, I want to take a nap now, so I won't talk anymore."Linda hummed in acknowledgment and added casually, "Someone has already spoken to the family about the Pierces'

  • She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back   Chapter 508

    Dominic suddenly found the timing of Linda's call suspicious. He had arrived openly, so if anyone in the villa was watching, his presence would hardly be a secret to that woman.The thought made Dominic frown. By that logic, Jessica had been under surveillance the entire time. This extraordinarily capable noblewoman was also rather domineering.Jessica, however, did not dwell on it. She refused at once. "I don't want to go back to the capital. It's so boring there."Linda chuckled softly."Jessica, stop fooling around. You've had your fun. It's time to come back. After all, your home is in the capital." Her tone sounded gentle, yet it carried unquestionable authority.Jessica pursed her lips. "I'll think about it later.""All right, all right." Linda did not press the matter. She let out a light sigh. "You're our only daughter. You're alone in Skyline City and unfamiliar with the place. What if something happened? How could I feel at ease?"Jessica replied, "My uncle is here. No

    Jessica took Dominic's hand and pulled it toward her chest.He immediately felt the soft warmth through her fingers, and his expression shifted.Jessica's cheeks flushed as she explained, "I mean my heart. Feel it here, beating just for you. So you absolutely can't ever leave me, or it will stop beating."At those words, Dominic was completely captivated.His eyes trembled. He pulled Jessica into his arms. His eyes reddened as he said, "Jessica, I'll never leave you…"His nose stung, and his voice caught.In his embrace, Jessica felt as though she had reached the safest, warmest harbor in the world. Her whole body relaxed as she said, "Of course, there are always things in this world that no one can control. Many wonderful stories have twists along the way. But no matter what happens, Dominic, you have to believe that I would never hurt you—""Stop saying such silly things!" Dominic's heart fluttered in a strange way, and he laughed as he cut her off. "Jessica, I definitely beli

    Jessica pouted as she held Dominic's hand. "I'm just so bored. I stay home every day and never go out to have fun. When I have free time, I watch movies to pass the time, and sometimes I draw. I actually think about you every day, but you're always busy with work and never have time to be with me…"Her pitiful tone stirred a pang of guilt in Dominic's chest."You could still go out even if you have free time," he said. "Didn't you like motorcycles before? Or watching boxing matches?"Jessica glanced at him and lowered her voice. "I was afraid you'd think I wasn't a good girl, so I stopped messing around…"Dominic felt a complicated mix of emotions.He smiled. "Going out isn't a bad thing, as long as you don't bully anyone or do anything illegal. Just bring a few bodyguards to stay safe. Why would I blame you?""Really?" Jessica looked touched. "Dominic, you're too good to me!""Yes, but you still need to practice your drawing," Dominic said with a gentle smile. "When I have time

    Jessica's courage was already fragile and on the verge of breaking.Dominic hesitated for a few seconds before he said softly, "Of course I have."That single sentence renewed Jessica's courage. She continued, "Then how do you feel about me? Do you see me as a friend, a sister, or something else?"After she spoke, she stared at Dominic.Dominic saw the determination in her eyes. He recognized the courage it had taken for her to ask, so he no longer avoided the question.Instead, he said, "Not just a friend, and not just a sister."It was the truth.Jessica's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth curled into a mischievous smile she had not shown in a long time. "Ah! Dominic, I didn't expect this. You're really a scoundrel and a flirt too!"Dominic's cheek twitched, and he felt helpless.Jessica continued, "But since you're honest, I'll forgive you this time.""Jessica, I—""Listen to me." Jessica reached out and pressed a finger against Dominic's lips.She tilted her fac

    Oliver's arrival took some of the pressure off Dominic, since four of the guys turned and started swinging at him instead.Jessica, who thrived on chaos, clapped her hands and shouted, "Hahaha! That's awesome! Keep it up, guys!"Before long, sirens wailed in the distance. Several police cars pulle

    The woman nodded thoughtfully. "My name is Cynthia Lewis. I probably died about ten days ago… I can't remember clearly."Dominic raised his brows. He'd thought a soul couldn't linger that long, yet this one had stayed for ten days. "How did you die?" he asked.Asking someone directly about their

    Dominic finished speaking and quietly took hold of Cynthia's arm. In an instant, Cynthia—dead for a long time—appeared once more.The boy scrambled up from the floor, crying as he rushed to his mother and clung to her. "Mom!"Cynthia looked dazed. After a long moment, her trembling voice broke thr

  • She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back   Chapter 69

    Oliver felt suffocated hearing those all-too-familiar words. After a long silence, he muttered, "Fuck."Dominic ignored both of them and walked straight out of the station. A black sedan waited at the entrance, with a middle-aged man standing silently beside it. Jessica wasn't in the car—she was st
