LOGINFollowing that, he took a box and handed it to Benjamin.Benjamin accepted it and nodded. "This is the sample of Cosmos No. 2? It looks good."The box was exquisitely made, with a transparent hollow panel at the center. Inside, small blue bottles were neatly arranged, giving it an elegant appearance.Elijah laughed. "The packaging design alone cost seventy-five thousand dollars. You could say we spared no expense.""Only right," Benjamin said with a nod. He studied the packaging of Cosmos No. 2, then frowned. "Why are these fonts so large?"In a highly prominent position, the packaging read: [This product causes hunger. Patients with mild hypoglycemia, pregnant women… Use with caution.]Elijah sighed. "That is an official requirement. We could not pass inspection without it.""Is that so?" Benjamin knitted his brows. "What medicine does not have side effects? Making such a fuss over these flashy warnings is excessive."He spoke casually and did not dwell on it. After all, every
That night, Dominic didn't take things any further.There was nothing wrong with him. He simply felt a measure of restraint, out of consideration for Katherine.When he woke, he felt refreshed.Katherine sat up first and stretched, her figure outlined in the morning sunlight.She spoke as she dressed. "I'm going to wake Lily. You can sleep a little longer."Dominic yawned. "I'm not sleeping. I'll make breakfast. What do you want?""Toast and a couple of poached eggs," Katherine said after a brief pause."Mhm." Dominic got up and dressed.…At 8:00 a.m., the family of three left the house together. The girl held Dominic's hand on one side and Katherine's on the other, her eyelids drooping as she walked in a daze.Only when Dominic parked near the school gate did Lilith fully wake. "Ah? We're already at school?"Dominic's mouth twitched. "So you were walking in your sleep?"He lifted her out of the car, at a loss for words.Lilith giggled and pinched his nose. "Hehe, Daddy i
Serena beamed. "That works. You take the stove, and I'll assist. Henry has never stepped foot in a kitchen."Henry smiled and said nothing.Dominic got to work. Serena watched his precise, practiced movements and felt a genuine surge of surprise.She had always trusted her own cooking and had never hired a maid.Today, Dominic proved her wrong.In less than an hour, he set a generous spread of six dishes on the table.Henry came over, glanced at the food, and laughed. "Looks like we have to drink today."Serena smiled. "After this meal, I'm afraid Henry will start disliking my cooking."As she spoke, she took two bottles of liquor from the cabinet.They had no labels, but the aroma alone told Dominic it was high quality.Henry raised his glass with a smile. "53%, bold and earthy."Dominic quickly picked up his glass, held it with both hands, and clinked it against Henry's.They drank back and forth, and an hour passed in a flash.Both bottles were soon empty.Henry lit a
Dominic didn't expect Henry to mention Jessica so suddenly.He paused, then smiled. "Jessica is going home, after all. It's only right."Henry looked at him in silence before speaking. "Ever since Nathan left, I've treated Jessica like my own daughter. Don't be fooled by her wild streak. She's the one in this family who values feelings the most."The smile faded from Dominic's face. He spoke with quiet seriousness. "Mr. Hale, I understand. No matter what happens in the future, Jessica is my partner.""Good." Henry nodded. "I'll believe you for now."Dominic gave a wry smile. "You can leave out 'for now.'"He might call Jessica a "little freak," but her emotions ran deep and fierce. He knew he could never let her down.Henry chuckled and nodded. "Alright, alright. Since things have come to this point, I accept your relationship with Jessica. You're worthy of her. However…"Dominic's heart skipped. A sudden unease gripped him. "However what?"Henry's smile disappeared, replaced
Therefore, although the Grants appeared wealthy, their wealth was largely nominal. In reality, they were in decline and urgently needed a breakthrough to reverse their fortunes. This urgency was one of the reasons they had to bring down Cosmos No. 2.Under normal circumstances, securing Cosmos No. 2 would have given them enough leverage to recover and return to their peak, perhaps even surpass it.What Elijah did not realize was that Cosmos No. 2 was a bottomless pit.Dominic thought for a moment and smiled. "It's fine. Just keep an eye on it."Jewel hesitated. "Once Cosmos No. 2 officially launches, do you think it will affect the sales of White Cosmos No. 1?""It won't be a major problem," Dominic said. "Let's wait and watch him build his tower… and then watch it collapse.""Mhm." Jewel nodded, then recalled something. "By the way, the mortgage for White Cosmos No. 1 has already been repaid. What about the remaining funds?""The Sinclairs' money has been repaid as well," Domin
Dominic chuckled. "Why would you think that?"He held 70% of the equity in JewelMed. Why would he not want it?"No." Jewel shook her head and pursed her lips, her voice low. "I just feel that JewelMed is too small, and your future might not be confined here. When that time comes, JewelMed will just be one of your many ventures."As she spoke, her mood dipped. JewelMed belonged to Dominic, but that did not mean it could keep him. Perhaps one day he would rarely return, or not come back at all. The thought left her quietly upset."Jewel," Dominic said with a smile, reading her thoughts. "I've never had great ambitions. JewelMed is already good. White Cosmos No. 1 and Cosmos No. 2 have earned me more money than I could spend in a lifetime, so what do I have to worry about?"Jewel blinked in surprise. "Cosmos No. 2?"Dominic realized he had let something slip and covered it up. "Just an example. Don't worry about the details. Your concerns are unnecessary. Let's focus on growing Jewe
At that moment, dozens of staff members inside the store struggled to keep up. A handful of managers moved through the crowd, trying to maintain order.Nearly every seat was filled, with customers experiencing White Cosmos No. 1. About 80% of them were women. With so many women moving about, they n
Wendy said eerily, "Now you know how to hit him, but it's too late."If he had been properly taught since childhood, how would Adam have dared to do such a thing?Unfortunately, his parents were trash themselves and failed to understand that truth.Adam's mother's eyes widened. She saw Wendy take
Autumn remained silent, but panic already flickered in her eyes.…Dominic's gaze stayed fixed on the sports car disappearing down the road.Isabella spoke with a sour edge. "Stop staring. They're already gone!"He snapped back to his senses and walked into the store without a word.Only Jessic
Once Jewel heard the voice, she knew it was Isabella. She replied coldly, "I'm Jewel Wright.""You?" Isabella demanded. "Why is my husband drunk, and what are you doing with him?"Jewel glanced at Dominic, let out a soft laugh, and said, "Take a guess."Isabella froze for a moment, then flew into
