LOGINDominic 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
No one knew how much time had passed.The two of them, lost in the moment, seemed to catch an unusual sound.Dominic frowned. "Did you hear something just now?"Jessica glanced back, annoyed. "Hey, no! Dominic, don't get distracted!""Oh."…An hour later, Jessica lay curled in Dominic's arms, unwilling to move. Her whole body felt heavy with languor. "Dominic!""What is it?" he asked softly.Jessica tilted her head up, her gaze fixed on him. She smiled. "Nothing. I just wanted to say your name."Dominic chuckled. "Tired?""Mm-hmm." She nodded.He carried her into the bedroom and said with a smile, "Take a nap.""Okay."Jessica was clearly exhausted. Usually talkative, she now spoke in short, spaced-out words.Dominic returned to the living room. His gaze drifted toward Autumn's door as he wondered if the sound he heard earlier had only been his imagination.It was just past 5:00 p.m. He took a sip of water, leaned back on the sofa, and scrolled through his phone.Befor
Jessica tapped the table lightly, licked her lips in a deliberately seductive way, and said, "What battery am I talking about? After all, last night you and your ex-sister-in-law… I was worried you haven't recovered yet."At home, she wore a fluffy hooded pajama set. Loose as it was, it still revealed the faint, trembling outline beneath.Dominic could tell at a glance that she wasn't wearing anything underneath.His throat went dry. "Who are you looking down on?"Jessica's eyes lit up. "Then what are we waiting for? We can start right now!"As she spoke, she reached for Dominic's belt.He quickly stopped her. "Hey, don't mess around. Autumn is still sleeping. And besides… have you recovered yet?"Over the past few days, he hadn't touched Jessica, apart from holding her while they slept.Jessica grinned, glanced toward Autumn's room, and said slyly, "It's fine. She won't hear. Worst case, I'll just hold it in and not make any noise."That was what she said, but she had her own
Autumn was quick-witted. At a glance, she sensed something on Jessica's mind, and a sudden idea struck her.Just as Autumn rose from the sofa, she staggered and nearly fell. She turned to Dominic, her voice weak. "Dominic… I don't have any strength…"Jessica clicked her tongue. "It's not that serious, is it?"Autumn ignored her and looked only at Dominic, her expression pitiful.Dominic responded at once. "Then I'll help you to the room."As he spoke, he moved to support her.Autumn cooperated completely. In front of Jessica, she leaned straight into Dominic's arms, her posture openly intimate.Jessica felt a flicker of displeasure, but since Autumn was a patient, she held her tongue.As they walked, Autumn's legs suddenly gave way, and she pitched forward. Dominic reacted quickly, catching her and lifting her into a bridal carry.The room was only a few steps away. At the doorway, Autumn glanced at Jessica. The corner of her lips curled into a smug smile, and she discreetly f
Harold waved a hand and glanced toward the courtroom. "Looks like the verdict's coming soon. No matter what, the law's fair."It was a joke. With public opinion like this, who would dare act unfairly?No matter how powerful someone was, they still had to lower their heads in front of an old war le
More than an hour later, the room finally settled into silence.It took Katherine a long while to recover before she slowly sat up.She pulled a pillow into her arms, but it was not enough to conceal her perfect figure. Her alluring skin showed like an accidental glimpse of spring, revealed uninte
As long as they stayed within the law, Dominic had nothing to fear. In fact, he could use this moment to forge a reputation of integrity and strength. While confronting the Grants, he could also remove obstacles that might threaten him in the future.Zachary fell silent. After a long pause, he grit
The old man sat at the entrance of the courthouse, a gun resting in his hands. Isabella stood calmly at his side.The photo spread within minutes.The entire internet was shaken.The row of medals pinned to the old man's chest was profoundly intimidating. Anyone with experience could tell at a gl
