LOGINDominic stepped forward and shook her hand, smiling. "Hello, Ms. Palmer. Hello to you as well, Mr. Quinn."Evan followed and shook his hand.Andriana gestured to the girl beside her. "Her name is Paige Smith. She's my assistant."Paige quickly greeted them. "Hello, Mr. Fleming. Hello, Miss Wright."After the introductions, Dominic took his seat and smiled. "Ms. Palmer, what brings you here so suddenly today?"Andriana nodded. "I'll be direct, Mr. Fleming. Since we authorized White Cosmos No. 1 to you, our cooperation has been very pleasant. I came today to discuss Cosmos No. 2."Jewel's eyes lit up. Her expression remained composed, but beneath the table, she pinched Dominic's thigh.Dominic stiffened.Andriana frowned slightly. "What's wrong, Mr. Fleming?"Dominic shot Jewel a brief glare, then smiled. "Hearing about Cosmos No. 2 got me a little excited. Wasn't it supposed to take more time before launch? Is it already available?"Andriana nodded and signaled her assistant t
Katherine knew Dominic's stamina very well.Although she also enjoyed the thrill of speeding on the highway, her body couldn't handle it. She often needed several days to recover before she could go again.As for Jessica, there was no need to say more. She had already experienced it today, even if there were special circumstances.But Dominic hadn't even reached their destination, hadn't even cleared the fast lane, and Jessica was already completely unable to endure it.At this rate, if he pushed himself any further, then even if the two of them took turns driving, they probably wouldn't make it to the destination.At that thought, Katherine and Jessica both looked at Dominic with a trace of unease.He froze. "Hey, what kind of looks are those? At worst, we just won't do that—"Before he could finish, the two of them cut him off in unison, "Of course not!"Dominic laughed under his breath. "This won't work, that won't work. What do you expect me to do?"Katherine snorted. "Fig
Dominic returned the phone to Katherine and said, "Forget it. She has her own thoughts. There's no need to worry about her."Katherine responded softly, but concern still lingered on her face.Dominic reassured her, "There's no need to worry. As for Benjamin, it's just a guess based on my intuition. Like Isabella said, he may have a reason to come after me, but he has no reason to hurt you."Jessica curled her lips. "This ex-wife really doesn't know how to appreciate kindness. We reminded her out of goodwill, yet she's not only ungrateful, she even said those things. It's too much. Dominic, don't be upset. I'll comfort you tonight."Katherine immediately lifted her gaze. "Do you think you're clever?"Jessica's little scheme was exposed. She chuckled and fell silent.Katherine sneered, "Actually, I'm fine. As long as you're not afraid of dying in bed, go ahead tonight."Jessica froze. When certain thoughts crossed her mind, she let out an awkward laugh.Katherine was absolutely
Katherine was startled. "You mean… the attack on me might be related to Benjamin?"Dominic nodded. "It's possible."Katherine's expression changed at once. She pulled out her phone and said, "That's too scary. I have to warn Isabella."Dominic watched quietly and did not stop her.The call connected quickly, but it took a while for someone to answer."Hello, Kathy. What's up?"Katherine switched to speaker. Isabella's voice sounded tired."Have you gone back?" Katherine asked."I'm driving. I'm almost at Riverside Residence.""Isabella, listen to me. Benjamin isn't the same as before. He's become a young heir of the Andersons in the capital," Katherine said anxiously.Isabella responded softly, "I know about this."Katherine pressed, "Do you remember the fire at Dominic's company and when I was attacked in Eastmere? With Benjamin's identity, he could have done those things."Isabella fell silent.After a moment, she asked, "Kathy, are you saying Benjamin was behind those i
"Katherine, you too," Isabella said, then lifted her head to glance at Dominic's house. She pushed her suitcase forward and left without looking back.Katherine watched her until Isabella's figure disappeared, then went upstairs."What did you talk about with her?" Dominic asked.Jessica told him that when Isabella arrived, she didn't say a word. She went straight into Lilith's room and packed her things. As she was about to leave, she ran into them returning.Katherine looked puzzled. "I feel like Isabella isn't quite herself compared to before. She's different."Dominic frowned, then let out a cold laugh. "Benjamin is back. Isn't it normal for her to change?"Katherine raised her brows as she looked at him. "Hey, what's with that tone? Why does it sound a little jealous?"Dominic's cheek twitched. "Does it?""It does. Seriously, it does," Jessica chimed in, nodding with emphasis.Dominic's expression turned awkward. He glanced around, then fixed his gaze on the girl. "Lily,
"Isabella!" Katherine hurried after her.Isabella paused, her steps halting, but she did not turn around.Katherine glanced at Dominic. "I'll go check on her."He nodded. "Alright."He turned and walked back into the house.Katherine caught up, helped Isabella push the suitcase, and the two descended the stairs in silence.After they stepped out of the elevator, Isabella took a deep breath. "Kathy, you should go back up."Katherine frowned. "Are you really leaving like this?""What else can I do?" Isabella forced a brittle smile."Is this because of Benjamin?" Katherine asked. "He's back, so you're giving up on Dominic just like that?""No." Isabella shook her head. "He slept with someone else. I can't accept that. And... he's never forgiven me. So why should I keep acting like a desperate hanger-on?"Katherine studied her for a long moment.Isabella avoided her gaze."That's not how you really feel," Katherine said. "You're hiding something from me. What are you actually
"Ah!" Isabella gasped as the fruit knife slipped and sliced her finger. Blood welled up instantly, bright and vivid against her skin."Bella!" Alexander's voice was sharp with concern. He caught her hand, his face tightening with distress, and instinctively lifted her finger toward his mouth.Isab
Clarita was about to speak when Dominic's expression suddenly changed—he'd been spotted.He had been keeping an eye on Autumn's group when one of her bodyguards leaned close to her, whispered something, then pointed straight toward him.A moment later, Autumn rose from her seat. Her face was cold
The nurse called the doctor over, and they saw Dominic collapse weakly to the floor. Blood trickled from his mouth and nose.The doctor's expression changed at once. After a quick examination, he shouted, "Prepare the operating room! Emergency surgery—now!"The nurse froze."Is it that serious?"
"I mean it literally. It won't be long before Grandma…" Dominic trailed off, but they both understood what he meant.Autumn's face went pale. Her lips trembled as she pleaded, "Sir, please… Can you bring my grandmother back? I'll do anything you ask, please!"Dominic's words struck like a bolt of
