LOGINJessica sized him up from head to toe with a mischievous smile. "Eat you!"The little pervert was as bold as ever.Dominic chuckled. "Can you even handle that?"Jessica froze for a moment. She glanced down, then said, a bit dejected, "I don't think we can do that today."She had been laughing at Katherine earlier, but now she realized she was even more useless. It would probably take another two or three days to recover.At that moment, Autumn pushed the door open and stepped out, curiosity in her voice. "What do you mean we can't do that today?""Hehe, nothing! Dominic wanted to play games with me, but my hands are sore, so I can't play with him," Jessica said with a grin.Autumn brightened. "Hey, if you want to play games, ask me. I'm pretty good too!""Oh really?" Jessica asked, her tone loaded with meaning.That look made Autumn's cheeks flush for no reason.Embarrassed, she snapped, "What are you looking at?"Jessica curled her lips. "I didn't even say anything. Look ho
Seeing her say that, Katherine sighed softly. "It's not that I'm biased. You're the one already wearing a filter, just because he saved you."Isabella frowned and sneered, "You shouldn't even be interested in these things. You suspect him because Dominic does, right?"Katherine nodded. "That's part of it.""What a devoted girlfriend." Isabella's tone turned more mocking, with a faint trace of sorrow.Katherine nodded as if it were only natural. "He's my man. Of course I believe him.""What a 'my man.'" Isabella's eyes reddened. "I've realized you really have no shame."Katherine frowned, clearly displeased. "Hey, say what you want, but don't make it personal."Isabella took a deep breath and only calmed down after a while. She stared at Katherine and said each word with emphasis. "Whatever your relationship with him is, I don't care. But don't get involved in my matters with Benjamin. Got it? I don't need your so-called concern. It just makes me feel sick."Katherine curled her
Katherine nodded. It was not just unbelievable. It felt almost surreal. At his level of status, he was still acting like a simp."I think it's unbelievable too," Isabella said with a sigh. "In some ways, he's still the same as before. Nothing has really changed."Katherine fell silent. "Then just say he's a simp. So why not accept him already?""That's my business. You don't need to worry about it.""I'm your sister—""What a sister," Isabella sneered, cutting her off as she stared at Katherine. "A sister who steals her younger sister's man? Acting shamelessly as the third party?"Katherine frowned. "Don't put it so harshly. When did I ever steal him from you?""You've already done it, and you still won't admit it?" Isabella gritted her teeth. "Let me ask you this. Have you slept with him?"After asking, she fixed her gaze on Katherine, searching her expression for any sign of guilt.However, Katherine showed none. She nodded quietly, her expression completely calm."You…" Ev
Dominic said, "Both of you should come.""I…" Jade choked up. She could tell that Dominic was trying to help them repair their relationship with their daughter. From his perspective, this was repaying resentment with kindness.After a long pause, Jade finally said, "Thank you.""No need to thank me," Dominic said calmly.He would not trouble Jade for Autumn's sake, but warmth toward her was impossible.Stephen took the phone and said in a deep voice, "Dominic, we'll come early tomorrow morning. By the way, I received news from Cosmos Laboratory. Why did Cosmos No. 2 suddenly switch to an auction?"Dominic sighed. "We can discuss the details tomorrow.""Alright."After hanging up, Dominic fell into thought. He considered whether to bring Stephen into this. If Stephen could help, it would be enough to form a pincer against the Grants, and Elijah would certainly be finished.Elsewhere…Katherine, in pajamas, walked into the room and asked, "Are you sleeping?"On the bed, Isabel
Just as Katherine had said, Autumn held a very important place in Dominic's heart.At the lowest point in his life, during his most difficult time, she was the one who reached out and helped him. He could never forget a favor like that.Strictly speaking, Autumn was the first girl to stir his heart. The relationship simply never had a chance to begin.Autumn smiled faintly, her expression easing. "Dominic, hearing you say that makes me feel much better."Dominic asked, "Why did you suddenly get sick? Did you catch a chill?""No." Autumn's expression dimmed slightly as she answered honestly, "It's my family. My mom and dad have called me many times, and I… didn't answer. What they did to you last time was really too much."Dominic was taken aback. He had not expected this to be the reason.From Autumn's perspective, she had done nothing wrong, yet she was caught between her parents and Dominic, unable to satisfy either side.Now that she was living here, she had clearly chosen h
Dominic let out a sigh of relief.Autumn asked again, "Where's Jessica?""She's gone to sleep," Dominic said."So early?" Autumn blurted out.It was only a little past 8:00 p.m., which made it seem early.But the moment the words left her mouth, Autumn felt embarrassed. It was obvious Jessica was not sleepy. She was simply exhausted.Autumn coughed lightly. "Then let her rest. You should get some sleep early too.""It's fine. I'm not tired," Dominic replied casually.The speaker meant nothing by it, but the listener took it to heart. Autumn's ears turned red. She lowered her head and sped up eating her soup to ease the awkwardness.Before long, she finished the bowl."Full? There's more in the pot," Dominic said.Autumn shook her head and looked at him. "No need. I'm already full."Dominic acknowledged her and picked up the bowl, preparing to leave."Dominic!" Autumn called out suddenly.He stopped and turned back. "What's wrong?"Autumn bit her lip. "Stay and chat with
"Looks like you've got a death wish." Isabella smiled coldly. As a CEO, she lacked neither resources nor nerve.Dominic frowned. "Are you two getting off track? Aren't you worried readers will say you're dragging this out?"Isabella froze, then turned to him with a hint of grievance. "Dom, you're
Dominic held the camera, his emotions tangled. It was true, Autumn had done plenty behind the scenes—following Isabella, tracking him, even setting up cameras. But since she hadn't hidden any of it, he felt no resentment."You really put a lot of thought into this," he said sincerely."Hehe, of co
"What do you think? Autumn would never lie to me." Dominic's cold voice drained all the strength from Isabella's body. Her legs gave out, and she sank helplessly to the ground.At that moment, Autumn took the phone back and turned off the speaker. No one knew what Dominic said next, but her sobbing
After speaking, Dominic ignored Thomas' pleas and left the house.As he went downstairs, Cynthia followed close behind."You already knew, didn't you?" she asked suddenly."It wasn't hard to find out about your family's situation," Dominic said evenly.A faint trace of sorrow crossed Cynthia's f
