Chapter 416

Author: Axcellent
Dominic and Isabella finalized the plan. He said, "Alright, you should go back now."

"No." Isabella pouted. "I want to stay with you a little longer!"

Dominic asked, "What about Lily?"

"I got her to take a break from school. She's been staying at Kathy's place these days," Isabella said.

A realization struck Dominic. He sighed. "These past few days must have been hard on Katherine."

Isabella nodded. "Yeah, so you have to get out quickly. Kathy hurt herself during yoga. She's been walking aw

    Zachary hesitated, then pushed another 1,000,000 into the pot. An ace ranked highest in a pair, and he refused to waste a hand like this."Just 1,000,000?" the purple-haired man asked, glancing around the table with feigned uncertainty.Benedict seized the moment to light a cigarette and gave him a subtle nod.Reassured, the purple-haired man shoved in 5,000,000 and sneered, "I'm going all the way to the final round."Dominic showed no hesitation and added another 1,000,000.Unease crept over Zachary. Being pulled along like this put him in a tight spot. He had already committed more than 2,000,000 in chips, so folding was no longer an option.He matched the bet.In the blink of an eye, three rounds passed."Dominic, I'll see you," Zachary said coldly.Dominic laid down his cards.Zachary studied them, then tossed his own onto the table. "You win."Lydia burst out laughing from the sidelines. "Haha! Fool, you're going to lose!"The purple-haired man grinned. "See? I told yo

    No matter how composed Benedict tried to remain, his expression darkened. He had pursued Autumn for a long time with little to show for it. The sight before him tightened his chest.He broke the silence. "We're playing Three-Card Brag. Everyone starts with 10,000,000 dollars in chips, and we settle at the end. Is that okay, Dominic?"As he finished speaking, a staff member stepped forward with a tray of chips and set it in front of Dominic.Dominic glanced at the stack. "No problem."Benedict's pile already towered before him, likely exceeding 30,000,000. He had clearly been winning all night.Autumn tapped Dominic's hand and leaned close to whisper in his ear. "Don't worry about it. I've got money."He replied in the same low tone. "It's fine. I've got money too. If we don't win big today, we'll win a billion instead."Autumn caught the mischievous glint in his eyes and laughed softly. "You're all talk."He chuckled.Their easy banter, as if no one else existed, drew another

    Claire froze. Autumn was always gentle and soft-spoken. When had she ever spoken in that tone?She stammered, "I… I just thought he looked familiar, so I asked.""Asked in that tone?" Autumn did not waste words. She tightened her grip on Dominic's hand, her expression sharp and commanding. "Hmm? Answer me."Claire's heart skipped a beat. She lowered her head and fell silent.Even within the same social circle, distinctions remained. Autumn clearly stood at the top.Jessica was not there. If she had been, the room would have revolved around her.When Claire backed down, Dominic lost interest. He turned toward the poker table and spotted two familiar faces.Lucas sat there with a cigar in hand. He waved with a grin. "Mr. Fleming, come play with us!"Dominic returned the smile. "I'm not good at this. You guys go ahead."He shifted his gaze to the man beside Lucas and spoke with quiet intent. "Zachary, we meet again."As expected, Zachary was there.Zachary frowned. He had not a

    Countless times, Jewel had opened Dominic's contact, intending to call him. Yet whenever she remembered the sweet words he had spoken to Katherine, her heart felt as if it were being sliced apart, and she could not bring herself to press the call button.Today, she had finally seen him again, only to witness this scene.She gritted her teeth and muttered, "That two-timing scumbag."Beside her, Jade's eyes turned icy."Dominic is being far too presumptuous," she said flatly.Startled, Jewel looked at her. "Sis, what do you mean?""Can't you see it for yourself?"The two sisters bore some resemblance, but Jade carried herself with greater elegance and poise. She held a glass of red wine and spoke in a cool, measured tone. "I warned him last time. Yet he's still entangled with Autumn. Does he really think I have no temper?"Jewel felt a surge of inexplicable anger, and her voice hardened. "Whatever happens between Autumn and Dominic is their business. You're overstepping."Jade c

    The next morning, Dominic rubbed his eyes, slipped on his slippers, and stepped out of his room.He stopped short. Lydia stood rigid in the center of the living room, straight as a post. The sight unsettled him."Damn, can't you sit on the sofa?" he asked, exasperated.At the sound of his voice, Lydia's face brightened. "Sitting or standing makes no difference to me. I don't get tired."Dominic shook his head and said nothing. He drank a glass of water, then went to wash up.Soon after, he left the house with Lydia.As he prepared to drive off, he noticed a man in his early 30s waiting downstairs, dressed in a suit and polished leather shoes.The man stepped forward when he saw him. "Hello, are you Mr. Fleming?""I am," Dominic replied, surprised.The man gestured politely. "Miss Garcia asked me to pick you up."Dominic immediately understood that Autumn had sent him. He smiled. "Alright."He got into the car, Lydia taking the seat beside him. This time, he avoided speaking

    Lydia caught her slip of the tongue, covered her mouth, and smiled. "What I meant is, you're a god."Dominic waved her off. "Don't put a halo on me. I have emotions and desires. I'll age, get sick, and die. I'm just an ordinary man."That was what he said. Yet a stray thought surfaced. Ever since he had come back to life at the hospital, he had not fallen ill. He felt constantly energized, strong in a way that no longer seemed entirely ordinary.Lydia giggled softly. "Dom, I actually regret it.""Regret what? Regret turning down the chance I offered you last time?" Dominic asked with a faint smile.If she had been honest from the beginning, he might have helped her.But after Lydia refused, she had only one path left. She would die, then become a blade in his hand.Lydia shook her head and brushed the hair from her forehead. "What I regret is following Zachary for a little money. That demon."She drew a slow breath before continuing, "When I first met him, I thought he was eleg
