Chapter 449

Author: Axcellent
This scene made Zachary's heart tremble for no clear reason.

"Damn it. She's dead and she's still wearing that expression?" He frowned, tossed his phone onto the table, and muttered, "Bad luck."

Elijah drew on his cigar and exhaled a slow stream of smoke. "It's done?"

"Yeah." Zachary nodded. "She couldn't handle the online harassment and hanged herself at home."

"Was it handled cleanly?" Elijah asked.

Zachary's lips curved into a thin smile. "I've arranged everything. Even if the police unc

    Dominic let out a soft sigh. He knew Katherine's situation could not be rushed. Isabella was one factor, and Lilith also needed a clear explanation. This was not a simple matter.As for his father-in-law, that would be easier. Nothing had changed, and he would certainly agree.After weighing it all, Dominic decided to set Katherine's matter aside for now. The urgent issue was Lydia.He sat in his office chair, picked up his phone, and called Ezra."Ezra, are you busy?""Hold on." Ezra sounded as if he were walking. About a minute later, he said, "Dominic, go ahead."Dominic got straight to the point. "What happened to Lydia?"At that, Ezra lowered his voice. "The official report says suicide, but there are many suspicious details at the scene. Lydia has a blunt-force mark on the back of her head, and her mother said she was still on a call with her last night."In short, this case is most likely murder. We've quietly set up a task force to investigate. Once we uncover the truth

    Jewel couldn't stay any longer. She covered her mouth and hurried back to her office.Several employees looked up and exchanged glances.In front of others, Jewel always carried herself with the cold, untouchable authority of a CEO."Just now… did Miss Wright look like she was crying?""Shh. Don't say anything. She came running out of Dominic's office. You know what that means, right?""Got it…"…Dominic remained completely unaware.At that moment, his attention was entirely on Katherine.Katherine seemed to notice the movement outside. She glanced toward the doorway, puzzled. "Dominic, did Jewel just—""Katherine, when we're together, let's not talk about other women." He spoke with a faint smile as he leaned closer, breathing in her scent."Mm." Katherine blushed. "Don't hold me so tight. I can barely breathe."At her words, Dominic's gaze drifted downward, lingering. His restlessness deepened. Instead of loosening his hold, he pulled her closer, growing bolder.Katheri

    Jewel spoke with barely contained excitement.Dominic chuckled, understanding her reaction. For her, JewelMed had always been a lifelong ambition. Now that it was thriving more than ever, her joy was only natural.After calming down, Jewel said, "Hey, have you seen the news? Lydia committed suicide."Dominic raised an eyebrow, took out his phone, and checked the headlines. Within seconds, he confirmed Lydia's death.Jewel studied his expression. "You're not even a little surprised?"Dominic gave a faint smile. "Lydia endured intense cyberbullying. She was mentally fragile. It's not surprising that she couldn't withstand it.""Mm." Jewel's tone turned sharp. "That woman caused you so much harm. At least she had enough shame to realize she had no right to keep living."Dominic clicked his tongue. "She's dead. Shouldn't you feel some sympathy?""Sympathy?" Jewel let out a cold laugh. "Do you think I'm a saint? She almost got you thrown in jail. And the people behind her still have

    After Dominic finished speaking, he took Lilith's hand and led her forward.Behind him, Isabella curled her lips and made a face at his back. "What kind of attitude is that?" she muttered.Dominic turned his head, his voice cool. "Are you coming or not?"Her expression shifted at once into a bright smile. "Of course I am!"…They dropped Lilith off at Blossom Elementary before driving Isabella to the company.On the way, she glanced at him and said, "Hey, honey, can you pick me up tonight? My car's still at Riverside Residence."She tilted her cheek toward him and looked at him expectantly.Dominic lit a cigarette, his tone calm. "Isabella, don't push your luck."Disappointment flickered across her face. "Okay."He soon pulled up in front of the company building.Isabella stepped out, then leaned down toward the open window. "Honey, drive safe."Dominic gave her a brief look but said nothing. He turned the car around and drove off.Isabella kept watching until the old car

Even if the police uncover a few clues, someone else will take the fall. Lydia framed the descendant of a war legend. Her reputation was already ruined. If someone lost control and went to kill her, no one would question it.""And her family?""They don't know anything," Zachary replied. "There's no need to involve them.""Good." Elijah nodded once. "I heard you're planning to track Dominic's daughter."Zachary knew Neil must have reported it. He sighed. "I don't have a choice. Dominic's getting too arrogant. I

    As the door swung open, the dark barrel of a gun thrust inside.A man in a baseball cap and mask stepped in. His voice was low and slightly hoarse. "Move and I'll shoot."Lydia's entire body trembled."I-I won't m-move. I didn't offend you. P-Please, let me go," she stammered.He said nothing. Keeping the gun trained on her, he crossed the room, glanced at the phone in her hand, took it, and ended the call.Then the cold barrel pressed against her temple. "Want to live?"Lydia nodded frantically.A harsh chuckle slipped from behind the mask. Without warning, he drew back his arm and struck her hard on the back of the head with the butt of the gun.Her eyes rolled back. Darkness swallowed her.…When Lydia regained consciousness, something felt terribly wrong.A crushing pressure clamped around her neck, cutting off her breath. She struggled instinctively.The slightest movement lifted her body off the ground, and the suffocating grip tightened.Panic surged. She forced her
