LOGINDominic and Jessica came out together."How did you get here?" he asked once they stepped outside the hospital.Jessica pointed to a black sedan not far away. "That car brought me here. I don't even know how to drive!""You only know how to ride a motorcycle," Dominic said with a chuckle. "Ride back with me."Jessica nodded obediently.After getting into the car, Jessica suddenly made a sound, as if she had remembered something. "Woof, woof, woof!"Dominic stared at her in shock. "What are you doing?"Jessica's face darkened. "Don't ask!"Dominic pressed on. "Hey, tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone!""It's all your fault!" Jessica huffed, puffing up angrily. "I just declared that if Isabella walked away unharmed today, I'd be a stray dog on the street. And you just let her go. Hmph!"Dominic had not expected that explanation and responded awkwardly. "What—""Alright," Jessica cut him off. "As long as it's what you say, I'll listen. You make the decisions, but you have to
Rosie sneered, "Dominic, I didn't expect you'd still dare show your face in front of me. You've got some nerve."Jessica cut in coldly, "Rosie, watch your tone."Dominic raised a hand to stop her, then looked at Rosie and spoke evenly. "I think you've already received the message. I won't repeat myself. If you keep provoking me, I guarantee the consequences won't be something you can bear."Rosie frowned and met his gaze. "Who are you trying to scare? Mr. Hale is protecting you. In Skyline City, I can't touch you, but you… Do you really think you can touch me?"She saw it clearly.Henry's protection of Dominic had leveled the gap in status between them. In other words, if she could not touch him, he could not touch her either.Dominic smiled faintly. "If you don't believe me, try it."Rosie showed no fear. "Then just you wait."In terms of presence, she did not yield at all.Dominic said nothing more and left the ward with Jessica.Only after he disappeared did the sneer on R
"Dominic!" Rosie's expression shifted when she saw him, her voice tight with anger.He did not respond or even glance her way. Instead, he looked at Jessica and asked coldly, "Jessica, who did that to your face?"She snorted. "Who else could it be?"As she spoke, she pointed at Isabella.Dominic paused for two seconds, then walked over.Benjamin stepped in front of him and started to speak, but Dominic grabbed his collar and casually threw him aside.Benjamin hit the ground as if his body had gone limp.Dominic stopped in front of Isabella. He noticed the slap mark on her face, but his expression did not change.His icy demeanor made her heart tremble. She tried to explain, "She started it first—"His answer was a slap.Isabella watched helplessly as Dominic backhanded her across the face.For a moment, time seemed to slow. She could hear her own breathing. She covered her cheek, stunned, as her tied hair fell loose.Holding her face, Isabella stared at Dominic in a daze. D
Hearing this, Benjamin showed a trace of gratitude toward Rosie.Jessica was not like ordinary people. The moment she imagined Isabella using a gun against Dominic, a chill ran through her, and she trembled.She gritted her teeth and said, word by word, "If Isabella walks away unharmed today, then I'm nothing but a damn stray dog on the street!"Rosie frowned. She hadn't expected such stubbornness.Jessica ignored her and fixed her gaze on Isabella. "Stop crying. I won't waste words. You're Lily's mother, so I won't touch you. But you're illegally possessing a firearm. Go turn yourself in now. Whatever sentence you get, you accept it."Isabella lifted her head in shock. She hadn't expected Jessica to go this far. If she turned herself in under the current circumstances, one to three years in prison would be unavoidable. She could not accept that.Her eyes turned cold. "What if… I don't agree?"Jessica sneered, "Do you have a choice? Or do you think these two can protect you? Isa
Isabella froze.Jessica stared at her without blinking. Rosie and Benjamin also fixed their eyes on her.Isabella's lips moved, but no words came out.Jessica sneered, "What, is there something you can't say?"Benjamin stepped forward, trying to smooth things over. "Miss Hale—""Get lost!" Jessica cut him off without hesitation. She shot him a cold glance and said with open disdain, "What are you? Do you think you're qualified to speak in front of me?"Although the Hales and the Andersons were on the same level, Benjamin barely counted as part of the Andersons. The Hales were the capital's top family. Jessica showed no courtesy at all.Benjamin's face flushed red, and a trace of cold malice flickered in his eyes.The handprint on Jessica's face stood out clearly, but she did not care in the slightest. She kept her gaze on Isabella and snapped, "Speak!"Isabella lowered her head. Her entire body began to tremble.After a long moment, she clenched her fists and asked hoarsely,
Isabella startled and quickly pulled her hand back. "Nothing?"Rosie grew more suspicious.Benjamin stood beside Isabella. At her words, he glanced over and immediately spotted the black grip of the gun. His expression changed at once.Rosie frowned. "Benjamin, what is it exactly?"Benjamin forced a tight smile. "Nothing. Just some cosmetics."As he spoke, he signaled Isabella to leave.But Rosie was not a fool. She sat up in bed and sneered, "Cosmetics? I don't believe it. Let me see."With that, she got up and walked toward Isabella.Benjamin began to panic.Isabella knew she would not get through this easily. She was not afraid. She took the handgun out of her bag.Rosie had not expected her to be carrying something like that."What?!" she cried out in shock, her expression changing completely.The bodyguards in the ward reacted at once and rushed forward, positioning themselves in front of Rosie.Rosie's gaze turned sharp as she stared at Isabella. "You'd better give m
Dominic's expression changed as he watched his own soul shoot back into his body. A moment later, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness....Isabella forced herself to hold back her grief and went through every single dashcam recording.The camera angles differed, but the events were i
Clarita hadn't been exaggerating. Even at Skyline University, none of those so-called campus heartthrobs could compare to Dominic.Naturally, Dominic knew it. In terms of looks, the only man who might rival him was the one he'd seen in the wheelchair at the hospital last night. Other than that, few
Dominic nodded right away. "Yeah, sure."Five minutes later, the group stopped beside a long limousine."Get in," Autumn said coldly.Dominic ignored her tone and opened the door. For a moment, no one moved."What kind of joke are you trying to pull?" Autumn snapped.Clarita had just passed awa
Dominic yanked his arm free and stormed out of the house, ignoring Isabella's cries. Isabella felt a wave of regret as she watched her husband leave once again.Alexander shifted uneasily, his tone hesitant. "I'm sorry, Bella… I think I made you two fight again."She froze for a moment, then sig
