LOGINAt once, the entire Hale family fell silent.Charlie's expression shifted. He hadn't expected Jackson to corner him like this, and for a moment, he seemed unable to respond.Even Jonah was stunned. He shot to his feet and stared at his father. "Dad! Where exactly is Jessica?"Although Jackson was advanced in age, a sharp light flashed in his cloudy eyes as he fixed Charlie with a piercing stare. He gave Charlie no chance to recover and pressed him relentlessly, "What exactly are you trying to hide?"When he saw that his father still refused to speak, Jonah's tone changed. "Dad, hurry up and tell us. Jessica, she..."He didn't dare finish the sentence. Panic was written all over his face.Charlie looked around the room. When he saw that nearly everyone was staring at him, he slowly let out a breath. "Jessica... is missing."His voice wasn't loud, but everyone heard it clearly.Jackson's eyes widened as he shouted, "What did you say?"Dominic's right hand had been resting on the
Dominic had believed that, with the woman's guarantee, Charlie would honor his promise once Carter was released. A sharp glint flashed across Dominic's eyes."Looks like blood has to be spilled today..." As he spoke, he strode toward the middle-aged man.The man's expression turned grim as he drew a deep breath and assumed a fighting stance.Dominic stepped forward and threw a simple, straightforward punch. The middle-aged man crossed his arms to block it.The next second, the sound of breaking bones echoed through the room. The middle-aged man screamed as the force of the blow launched him more than 10 feet through the air. He slammed hard into the wall.Everyone froze in shock."Impossible!"The middle-aged man's expression changed dramatically. As he looked into Dominic's cold eyes, a chill ran down his spine. He struggled to his feet, but Dominic was already closing in.Charlie had never imagined that Dominic could defeat his elite bodyguard with a single punch. He snarled,
Dominic was actually quite easygoing. In some respects, he wasn't particularly violent at all. He could even be considered a genuinely decent man. At present, however, an unfathomable madness burned in his eyes, sending a chill through everyone present.Charlie trembled with rage. "How dare you! You're completely insane! Do you have a death wish?"Never in his life had anyone dared to act so arrogantly in front of him, so utterly without regard for rules or consequences.Dominic's fingers slowly tightened, and a faint smile spread across his lips.At such a critical moment, he was actually smiling. Only his eyes remained cold, as if carved from ancient ice."You want to know whether I dare?" Dominic's voice was quiet, yet it carried unquestionable authority. "I'll show you whether I dare. Thirty seconds left."As he spoke, Carter's face had already turned crimson. His eyes were bloodshot. His arms hung limply at his sides, completely devoid of strength. His body had begun to twit
Charlie frowned and glanced at Dominic. 'Damn it, what is wrong with this world? Does the Harris family really love adopting sons that much?'He seemed to realize Dennis hadn't come with good intentions, and his tone turned indifferent. "May I ask what business you have here, Dennis?"To Charlie, even if the Harris family acknowledged Dominic, he was still just a junior.Dominic stepped forward. "Where is Jessica?"The room fell silent.Only then did Charlie truly turn his attention to Dominic. After studying him for several seconds, he said flatly, "What do you want with Jessica?"Dominic showed no fear. "I've come to take her home.""Take her home?" Charlie seemed to find the statement absurd. The corner of his mouth twitched. "Her home is here. Exactly where do you plan to take her?"By now, anger was steadily building inside Dominic, but he forced himself to keep it under control. "I don't care where she stays. Right now, I just want to see her!"That was already a comprom
Dominic arrived on that street once again.Only now did he learn its name: Regent Street.The name suited it perfectly. The people who lived here stood at the pinnacle of Bastian's power. In ancient times, they would have been nobles, ministers, and generals.As soon as the guards outside saw the Harris jeep approaching, they straightened and raised their hands in salute."Happy Mardi Gras, General!"Accompanied by the synchronized greeting, the jeep passed through the checkpoint and entered Regent Street without obstruction.Dennis said, "Dom, the Hales live at No. 14 Regent Street. The carnival celebrations have yet to end, so the old man should still be home. Once we're inside, make sure to offer your festive greetings first."Dominic nodded silently.Jackson Hale handled matters that affected all of Bastian every day. He was one of the country's most influential figures and had devoted his entire life to serving his country. He deserved respect.Not long afterward, the jee
Suzy seemed to have met Jessica before and remembered her well. She muttered, "She's definitely not that young..."Only then did Dennis understand. Since Dominic couldn't get in, he had come here for help.Dennis immediately laughed. "Dominic, isn't it just the Hales? I'll go with you myself! Are you saying a man from the Fleming family isn't good enough for a girl from the Hales?"That was exactly what Dominic wanted to hear. He jumped to his feet at once. "Then let's go now, Dennis!""Right now?" Dennis paused for a moment. "Are you sure you're up for it?"The little troublemaker had been missing for so long that Dominic had long since run out of patience. How could he worry about feeling weak?He shook his head. "I'm fine. Getting to the Hales is what matters.""Alright then!" Dennis wasted no time and got up to make arrangements.Less than two minutes later, a green Jeep pulled up outside the courtyard.Dennis and Dominic climbed in.Just as the security officer in the dr
Isabella shot Katherine a reproachful glance. "Kathy, you're not allowed to say that kind of thing again. Being blocked doesn't matter that much right now. The real problem is those women. Jessica, Autumn, and now even Lydia. I can't fight four hands with two fists. Kathy, you've got to help me."K
Dominic swept his gaze around the room once, then said, "Yeah. Your big brother has gone where he needs to go."Yara stayed silent for a long moment before speaking softly. "Sir… thank you… Thank you."Dominic waved a hand and turned to Max. "From now on, you'll follow him. Work hard. Only then wi
"Sir! Yara is only 18! She has trouble walking and can only sit in a wheelchair. She can barely control one hand. S-She dragged this broken body of hers out to work all by herself…"By the time he finished, Ryan was already choking back tears.Dominic felt moved as well. "Are you going to see her
Autumn stepped forward and moved to the front, carrying the food in her hands.Isabella's expression changed, and she spoke coldly. "I've always been devoted to my husband. What do you mean by late affection? And what does this have to do with you? You're the one who should leave."Dominic felt ir
