ログインAbigail could not bear to watch any longer.Her body was cremated the next day. Now in a soul state, she could move freely.That afternoon, she left home and crouched at the entrance of the residential complex, waiting for her mother-in-law to pick up her son.The only person she still cared about was Bernie.Then she saw someone she did not expect—Dominic.What was he doing there?She knew she was in a soul state and no longer bound by ordinary limits, so she stared at him without hesitation.Unexpectedly, he walked over and stopped right beside her.Uncertain of his intentions, Abigail kept her eyes on him.Dominic lit a cigarette and asked in a calm, even tone, "How does it feel after death?" Abigail's eyes widened. If she had still been alive, fear would have taken hold of her."Are… Are you talking to me?" she asked, disbelief evident in her voice.Dominic turned his head slowly and met her gaze. "What do you think?"Shock washed over her."Come on," Dominic said. "
News that a former JewelMed employee had jumped from the 12th floor after deliberate incitement spread across the internet at extraordinary speed.The reputations of JewelMed and White Cosmos No. 1 collapsed almost overnight.Dominic convened an emergency press conference to address Abigail's death, but his explanation failed to calm public anger.Kenny was paralyzed, and Bernie was still in school. Abigail had been the family's sole breadwinner. Her cancer had already placed the household under immense strain, and her death by suicide only deepened the tragedy. How desperate had she been?Online, sympathy for Abigail's family surged.One question dominated the discussion: what had Abigail and Dominic discussed before her death? Many demanded answers.Had Dominic driven her to it?Public opinion quickly turned one-sided. Rumors and fabricated stories about White Cosmos No. 1 flooded the internet. None of it was true, yet the falsehoods only fueled outrage and drew more people in
Abigail forced a smile. "Mr. Fleming... you're joking, right?""I'm not," Dominic said calmly.Abigail had chosen to betray him, and he would not give her another chance. Life worked that way. One wrong choice often left no path back.When he went to see her before and promised the company would fund her treatment without conditions, that had been her chance.Abigail looked at him, her whole body trembling. Only now did she understand that he was neither a pushover nor a compassionate saint.Fear pressed in on her. She thought of her family, her child, and the prospect of death. She did not want to die.Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded, "Mr. Fleming, I was wrong. I was truly wrong. I'm sorry. Please let me go. I promise I'll explain everything clearly to the reporters...""You've got it wrong." Dominic lit a cigarette. "This isn't about whether I let you go. You made a choice and gave those people your word. Things have gone too far. If you back out now, the consequen
"As soon as they arrived, they put up the banners. Our security team stepped in to remove them, but a surge of reporters and social media influencers rushed in almost at once. Abigail and her family were actually the last to arrive," Jewel said.Dominic understood the situation the moment he heard it. The opposition had deliberately drawn out JewelMed's security first, capturing photos out of context to make the company appear overbearing. It was a calculated move to control the narrative.Clearly, Rosie intended to destroy the reputation of White Cosmos No. 1 and dismantle Dominic's public image.Everyone knew he had a powerful backer, but if his reputation collapsed completely, that protection might no longer hold. At the same time, Henry's support would come under scrutiny.Having reached this conclusion, Dominic smiled faintly. "Go rest in the office. Leave this to me."With his arrival, Jewel found a steady anchor. She relaxed and smiled. "Alright. I'll wait for your good new
Jewel took a deep breath. "Okay, there shouldn't be a problem. I don't know why Abigail is slandering us, but White Cosmos No. 1 has no issues. We're not afraid of slander."Dominic responded quickly. "Stay alert. Have security keep an eye on Abigail. Don't let her get near the windows or anywhere like that.""You mean…" Jewel faltered, caught off guard."Just do as I say," Dominic replied, his voice heavy. He ended the call."Is something wrong at the company?" Katherine asked.Dominic had been resting at home these past few days, so she had not gone in either."Yes. I need to go," he said.Autumn spoke with concern. "Dom, if people are causing trouble, it's better to call the police first."Jessica added, "Do you want me to arrange for some people to go over?"Dominic shook his head with a soft chuckle. "Don't worry. It's a small problem. I can handle it."His confidence reassured them.He picked up his car keys and headed out. As he drove the old car toward the company, h
Jessica and Autumn sat on the sofa, absorbed in a horror movie. Lilith watched quietly beside them.Feeling out of place, Dominic stepped onto the balcony and sent a message to Andriana.A moment later, she called back."Dominic, the contract with Elijah has been signed," Andriana said quietly. "What should we do next?"Dominic exhaled in relief. "Ms. Palmer, thank you. I truly appreciate this.""You're being too polite," Andriana replied, a hint of displeasure in her voice.She held no personal grudge against Elijah. Setting a trap for him on Dominic's behalf meant that when the situation escalated, it could damage the reputation of Cosmos Laboratory as well.Dominic gave a quick, apologetic smile. "That's my fault. I'm sorry."Andriana laughed softly. "That's better. Next, Elijah's finished product should be ready within a week. Their sales channels are already in place, so their rollout will be much faster than White Cosmos No. 1. I expect the product's issues to surface in
Dominic held the camera, his emotions tangled. It was true, Autumn had done plenty behind the scenes—following Isabella, tracking him, even setting up cameras. But since she hadn't hidden any of it, he felt no resentment."You really put a lot of thought into this," he said sincerely."Hehe, of co
"What do you think? Autumn would never lie to me." Dominic's cold voice drained all the strength from Isabella's body. Her legs gave out, and she sank helplessly to the ground.At that moment, Autumn took the phone back and turned off the speaker. No one knew what Dominic said next, but her sobbing
After speaking, Dominic ignored Thomas' pleas and left the house.As he went downstairs, Cynthia followed close behind."You already knew, didn't you?" she asked suddenly."It wasn't hard to find out about your family's situation," Dominic said evenly.A faint trace of sorrow crossed Cynthia's f
An hour earlier…Isabella was in her office reviewing reports when her assistant knocked on the door. She looked up."Ms. Sinclair, Mr. Grant wants to see you," the assistant said."Let him in," Isabella replied evenly.A moment later, Alexander stepped inside and quietly closed the door behind
