Se connecterThose few minutes felt like an entire century to Rosie. When the doctor finished the examination, she asked with fragile hope, "What… is the situation?"The doctor frowned and said, "There are wounds."At that, Rosie's last hope shattered. She felt hollow, as if something essential had been stripped away, and she swayed unsteadily where she stood.She did not remember how she left the hospital.By the time she returned to the villa, a single thought echoed in her mind. 'Dirty, too dirty!'She rushed into the bathroom and stood before the mirror. Bruises covered her body, and tears began to spill uncontrollably down her cheeks.The image of the old beggar rose again in her mind, his yellow teeth and filthy, reeking presence making her tremble.Her teeth chattered as she forced out each word. "DominIc, you beast… I will kill you!"Her eyes burned red, and her hatred for Dominic climbed to its peak. She had no intention of looking for any beggar, because in her mind, everything wa
Rosie sat frozen on the floor, her whole body shaking as unspeakable images rose in her mind. Horror filled her eyes.Dominic watched her with indifference.The beggar was, of course, fictional. If Rosie reported it to the police, a DNA test would prove that nothing of the sort had happened. Dominic was certain she would not dare to check.In reality, the entire scheme was Abigail's work, inspired by Jessica's earlier operations.To Dominic, Rosie was an enemy, and no method was too extreme. He had considered letting Abigail act more directly, but Rosie's background was no weaker than that little psycho's. After weighing the risks, he abandoned the idea.Still, Dominic was no pushover. He repaid every grievance. If he could not kill Rosie, he would leave her with a memory she would carry for the rest of her life.After all, Abigail had executed the plan, and Rosie bore primary responsibility for Abigail's death. In that sense, this was a form of divine retribution.After a long
After saying that, Dominic walked away.Rosie's eyes flew open. Rage swelled in her chest until it felt as though she could not breathe, and she was on the verge of rushing after him.At that moment, a hand shot out from the darkness behind her. It held a rag and clamped it over her mouth and nose."Mmph!" Rosie struggled instinctively, but within moments her strength gave out, and she collapsed to the ground.Dominic heard the movement behind him and smiled coldly. He did not look back. He walked on and left.A figure emerged where Rosie had fallen. Abigail stood there, watching her in silence.Rosie was quite beautiful. Her face was round, with a hint of baby fat. In her unconscious state, she looked almost peaceful.After a few seconds, Abigail knelt and wore gloves. She reached out and began to unfasten Rosie's clothes.Not long after, Rosie's brows drew together. Even unconscious, her face twisted with pain.No one knew how much time passed.In the small stretch of woods
Rosie lived in a detached villa.Dominic's old Audi pulled up outside, quickly drawing the attention of the bodyguards.One of them knocked on the window with a blank expression. "Who are you? Quickly—"The moment it rolled down to reveal Dominic's handsome face, his voice cut off mid-sentence. Dominic smiled faintly. "Good evening."He recognized the man as the bodyguard Isabella had scratched that day, the only one who had escaped Dominic's blows.The bodyguard forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace, his legs trembling uncontrollably. "G-Good evening…"The other three bodyguards from that day were still in the hospital.Dominic gestured toward the villa. "Go get Rosie. Tell her I have something to discuss with her."At once, the bodyguard rushed inside.The others exchanged glances but did not interfere.Dominic stepped out of the car, leaned against it, and lit a cigarette.A moment later, Rosie came out quickly, her voice cold. "Dominic! What are you doing her
By then, Abigail's video had already spread across the internet at lightning speed. Nothing carried more weight than a clarification from the person involved.Jewel had been downcast for so long, but now joy finally returned to her face.Dominic chuckled. "I told you to relax. See? Things have already turned around."Jewel, brimming with excitement, kept scrolling through the reels.From that moment on, JewelMed's reputation reversed completely, and the slander vanished almost overnight.In the video, Abigail gave a clear and heartfelt account of her work experience at JewelMed.There was nothing questionable about it. Combined with Dominic's earlier clarification, the crisis could be considered fully resolved.Countless people began to apologize, and sales of White Cosmos No. 1 recovered at a visibly rapid pace.Dominic looked at Jewel with a smile.She scrolled for quite a while before finally confirming that JewelMed had truly weathered the storm.Emotion welled in her eye
Benjamin's face turned pale in a way visible to the naked eye.The Anderson family and the Anderson Group were his most important backing.Almost immediately, his phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, his whole body trembled, and he answered at once."What the hell are you doing?!" The furious voice on the other end came through clearly, even without the speaker on.Benjamin's face went deathly white. Cold sweat ran down his forehead as he rushed to explain, "Cuz, I can handle it… Believe me, I can handle it…"Yes, yes. I guarantee it won't affect the company…"I'm sorry, I really didn't think that far…"Okay, I understand."In less than a minute, the call ended.Benjamin lowered the phone, his whole body soaked as if he had been pulled from the water.Dominic looked at him, the corners of his mouth lifting. "What's wrong? If you're in trouble, just say so. Maybe I can even help.""When exactly was this video filmed?" Benjamin asked through gritted teeth.By now, he felt d
At that moment, Dominic's mind buzzed, on the verge of bursting. He had drunk tonight, but he could not tell whether the alcohol or the person before him had intoxicated him.Either way, he already felt drunk and had lost all restraint. Without thinking, he reached out and set his hand on Jessica's
Dominic glanced at her.Wendy's cheeks were faintly flushed, her expression shy and embarrassed. She had wanted to say boyfriend just now, but she did not quite dare.Her grandmother beamed and hurried them along. "Come inside, Dominic. I'll get you something to eat."Dominic waved his hands in q
Dominic frowned and asked, "Where are they?""Lily's asleep in Katherine's room, and Jessica went back to hers.""Then you should go to sleep too," Dominic said."I don't want to!" Isabella's voice carried a sharp edge of agitation.She bit her lip and suddenly flipped over, pinning him beneath
Dominic nodded. He glanced around the apartment and, seeing no one but Jessica, asked with curiosity, "Where is everyone?""My ex-sister-in-law and Lily's aunt took her to the amusement park," Jessica said with a pout, her tone sulky.Dominic laughed. "They didn't take you along? You're not angry,
