LOGIN"Don't worry," Dominic said calmly.Katherine turned and left without hesitation.Rosie let out a whistle as she watched Katherine's slender back. Without restraint, she said, "Wow, I didn't expect a woman this beautiful in Skyline City. That ass is so big, just perfect!"Dominic stepped forward and blocked her view."What do you want?" he asked flatly.Benjamin smiled. "Mr. Fleming, why don't we find a place to sit? Although this is our first meeting, I think we have a lot to discuss."Dominic's voice turned cold. "Drop the fake politeness. Wipe that smile off your face. It's disgusting."A man who had faked his death for over ten years and kept it hidden for that long, yet still wore such a bright smile, unsettled Dominic. The more he looked at him, the deeper his suspicion grew.Benjamin frowned slightly but did not get angry. He kept smiling. "Mr. Fleming, there's no need to be so hostile. Even though I'm working closely with Isabella now, that doesn't make us enemies. As f
Dominic paused for a moment, then gave a slight smile."It's fine. It's nothing related."With that, he picked up his car keys and left the house.On the way, his thoughts kept drifting back to Rosie. He still remembered her arrogant face. Their last encounter had clearly left bad blood between them. Given her family background, she would not let it go easily.At the thought, Dominic frowned. Everything around him seemed to be growing more complicated. The Grants had not been fully dealt with yet, and now Benjamin, the Andersons behind him, and the Jones family had all entered the picture."I'm still not strong enough..." Dominic muttered.In this society, money alone was far from enough. One also needed power and influence.He took a deep breath, made a decision, and called Katherine.She answered quickly. "Hello, Dominic!"Dominic smiled. "Did you go to the office?""Yeah. Isabella took Lily to school today, so I came straight to the company. What about you?""I just left th
Dominic fell silent for a moment before saying, "Man proposes, God disposes."…Half an hour later, Dominic and Stephen came out of the study.In the living room, the three women were chatting and laughing.Stephen stepped forward a few paces. "Autumn, I heard from Dominic that you were sick yesterday. How are you feeling now?"Jade's expression changed. She quickly pulled her daughter close and looked her over, concern evident. "Oh, Autumn, you were sick? Why didn't you tell me? Do you need to go to the hospital?""I'm fine now!" Autumn glanced at Dominic, her eyes bright, and smiled. "Dominic stayed with me last night, so I got better!"The living room fell silent at once.Dominic felt every gaze turn toward him, and his expression stiffened.She put it like that. Wasn't that inviting misunderstanding?He gave an awkward laugh and waved his hands. "I just talked with her for a bit last night. Her illness wasn't serious."A collective sigh of relief followed from the three
Stephen stiffened in shock. "You're saying… the side effect is that extreme?"From what Dominic explained, Cosmos No. 2 would see explosive sales at launch if it entered the market.The critical factor was the half-month window. Under those conditions, users would lose weight quickly, and early feedback would be overwhelmingly positive. But once that window closed, the side effects would surface.Everyone who bought Cosmos No. 2 would not only fail to lose weight, but would also gain weight due to binge eating.This was more than a trap. If the side effect could not be resolved, the company would face total collapse.Cold sweat beaded on Stephen's forehead. If he had not learned this in time, he would have been the one caught after winning the bid.What disgusted him most was that when Andriana released the information, she had clearly disclosed the side effect.But once official testing confirmed it posed no harm to the human body, no one took it seriously.Dominic nodded. "Th
As Dominic's identity came to light, he was revealed as the sole descendant of a war legend. In effect, he now stood behind a golden shield.If anything were to happen to him through underhanded means, it would trigger a national-level crisis. No matter who was responsible, they would be found, even if it meant turning the country upside down, to provide a full account to the public.At the same time, this protection cleared the way for White Cosmos No. 1. Its promotion and sales faced no obstacles. Every state and city granted approval without resistance.Dominic nodded. "Some people still have a death wish.""You mean Elijah?" Stephen said. "Not long ago, he lost his son, flew into a rage, and arranged for people to target you. Afterward, he paid a heavy price."Dominic was surprised. After that incident, he had gone to Eastmere and had not expected Elijah to run into trouble himself."Elijah had others take the fall," Stephen continued. "But everyone knows whose people they re
"Autumn!" At the sight of her daughter, Jade choked up. She rushed forward and wrapped Autumn in a tight embrace, her eyes brimming with guilt.Jade had never imagined that what she did to Dominic last time would hurt her daughter so deeply.By the time she realized it, Autumn had already blocked her and refused to see her. Afraid of making things worse, she did not dare take harsher measures and kept putting it off until now.It was the same with Stephen. Even though he knew Autumn had come to stay with Dominic, he did not show up."Autumn, it's Mom's fault. Can you forgive me?" Jade said through tears, holding her close.From the side, Stephen added, "Autumn, family shouldn't hold grudges overnight. Your mom was wrong last time, and she truly regrets it."Autumn pressed her lips together as tears streamed down her face. She did not speak, but the fact that she did not push Jade away made her stance clear.The weight in Stephen and Jade's hearts finally lifted.A bitter smile
Jessica stood on the brink of tears as she barked at the burly woman, "Go! Hurry! Go check on them!""O-Okay!" The woman froze in fear, then snapped out of it and rushed forward.At the edge of the rooftop, Dominic's left hand clamped onto the concrete ledge while his right arm locked around Isabe
Although Autumn was not as utterly despondent as Isabella, the news still struck her like a thunderbolt and plunged her into despair.Even after events took a sudden turn for the better, her emotions remained tangled, and she could not calm down anytime soon.Jessica walked slowly to Dominic's sid
Autumn had not actually planned to stay, but the look on Jessica's face unsettled her. Hence, she asked, "Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? What's that supposed to mean?"Jessica snorted. "Autumn, I don't think there's a place for you in this house anymore."Autumn blinked. "Huh?""Huh my
Around 10:00 a.m., Andriana arrived as promised. When she saw Dominic, her eyes lit up, and she quickened her pace, extending her hand. "Hi, Dominic."Evan followed a step behind her, his expression darkening slightly.Dominic smiled and shook her hand. "Let's talk inside."They entered a quiet m
