Se connecterDominic's anger was nearly impossible to contain. He pointed at Isabella, his finger trembling. "You..."Yet Isabella lifted her pretty face and looked at him with a pitiful expression. "Honey! Just hit me!""God damn it!" Dominic cursed, his fists clenched tight.Jewel quietly walked to the door and gently closed it.Just then, a phone began to ring.Dominic took a deep breath and glanced at the screen. Katherine was calling.The moment he answered, her anxious voice came through. "Dominic, Isabella's missing! She's not answering my calls. Please try contacting her. I'm worried she ran off to Daryon!""You're too late," Dominic said darkly. "She's standing right in front of me.""Huh?" Katherine was stunned.Dominic sighed and rubbed his temples. "Katherine, I'll talk to you later.""Okay." Now that she knew where her sister was, Katherine let out a sigh of relief and hung up.Dominic put away his phone and stared at Isabella. "How did you get here?""I took a plane!" Isab
Compared to the chaos outside, the Harris residence remained relatively calm.Inside the room, Christopher spoke in a calm, measured tone. "Dominic, the families rooted in Daryon are anything but simple."Dominic nodded and listened quietly."On the surface, they control major corporations and wield tremendous political influence. You could say they hold both wealth and power. But beyond that, there are things ordinary people can never fully understand."As he said that, Christopher's expression grew serious. "For example, the Anderson family owns a mountain outside Daryon that is completely off-limits to outsiders. Only their family members are allowed there, and some truly terrifying people live on that mountain."Dominic immediately thought of the female expert who had come looking for him before. According to Christopher, she was probably one of the people from that mountain. What he didn't know was how those people compared to monsters who stood at the absolute peak of human
On the way back, Dominic remained silent the entire time. Beneath his calm expression, however, a storm seemed to be raging.Dennis watched him quietly.For the first time, he felt the need to reevaluate Dominic. For the sake of a woman, Dominic had nearly gone nuclear on the Hales. If word got out, people would probably think he had completely lost his mind.He had actually issued such a shocking death threat to Charlie. More importantly, Dennis could tell Dominic had not been joking. If Jessica's safety still could not be confirmed within three days, he would do exactly what he had threatened.If that happened, something earth-shattering would likely follow.After some thought, Dennis finally tried to reason with him. "Dominic, she's a Hale heiress. Under normal circumstances, no one would dare touch her. The situation may not be as bad as you're imagining."Dominic's eyelashes trembled slightly before he snapped out of his thoughts.He looked at Dennis and gave a faint nod. "
At that moment, the skinny old man standing behind Jackson suddenly cried out in alarm, "Damn it!"He rushed forward and quickly checked Carter's breathing. In the very next second, his fingers began to tremble.The old man looked genuinely frightened. Refusing to give up, he grabbed Carter's wrist and checked his pulse.A few seconds later, he shook his head grimly. "Mr. Hale, my condolences."Jackson's expression changed dramatically. His lips trembled. "There's no saving him?""He's completely stopped breathing." The old man shook his head. "Even the gods couldn't save him."Jackson staggered backward several steps in disbelief. Jessica had disappeared, and now his grandson had died right before his eyes. How could he possibly accept that?He pointed at Carter's mother and barked, "Why didn't you say anything earlier? Why didn't you say anything?"Cindy said nothing. She simply kept crying. Every time she looked at Dominic, her eyes filled with resentment.At that moment, t
At 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,
This made Dominic exhale in relief. A moment ago, he had worried that if simple contact could summon a ghost, it might trigger unpredictable consequences.Cynthia turned and watched his back as he walked away. After a pause, she shouted, "I'll wait for you at the gate of Blossom Elementary tomorrow
"Reno Residence," Cynthia replied.Dominic skipped lunch and went straight to the address Cynthia had given him. Before long, an old, dilapidated apartment building came into view.Just as he was about to enter, Cynthia froze beside him. Her gaze locked on two figures in the distance, and her whol
Alexander's eyes widened, and a chill ran through him when he saw the look in Dominic's eyes. He swallowed hard.Thinking of Isabella nearby, he quickly spoke with a pitiful expression. "Dom! I know you suspect me, but I really didn't push you. There were so many people there. You must've been sque
Isabella pushed open the ward door but froze mid-sentence. The room was empty. Dominic was nowhere to be found.Her expression changed at once. She rushed inside, searching every corner, but there was no sign of her husband.She stood motionless for a long while before suddenly slapping herself ha
