LOGINThe kiss lasted a full ten minutes.It only ended when Isabella finally lost patience and shouted, "Honey, I'm hungry!"Her jealous tone made it sound as though she had just tasted something sour.Only then did Dominic pull away from Autumn.Autumn's lips were red, and her cheeks burned even brighter. She shot Isabella an annoyed look and huffed. "Are you some kind of bottomless pit?"Isabella ground her teeth. "Autumn, I seriously think you don't know who's boss around here. Just wait!"Autumn sneered without a trace of fear, "Fine. I'll wait.""Isabella, stop talking. Autumn, don't argue with her either," Dominic quickly cut in. "It's cold outside. Go back in first. I'll come pick you up tomorrow."At that, Isabella pouted but didn't dare say anything more.Autumn gave a soft hum, slipped her arms around Dominic's waist, and rested her cheek against his chest. "Dom... I'll stay right here and wait for you to bring me home!"Dominic smiled and nodded. "Okay."After that, he
As he spoke, Stephen looked at Dominic, a flicker of intensity flashing in his eyes. "But having said that, the Garcia Group has already reached this scale. It's like a giant ship. Ordinary winds and waves can't shake it."In fact, I barely go to the company anymore. The company has its own management structure, and I only step in to make decisions at critical moments. Even if I retire, the Garcia Group will continue operating normally. However… I do have one condition."Dominic had already guessed what it was, but he still asked, "What condition? Just say it.""It's actually very simple. In the future, if you and Autumn have a son, he will inherit the Garcia Group." Even Stephen felt slightly nervous after saying it out loud.Dominic smiled. "You don't need to explain all this. I have my own career. The Garcia Group belongs to you, and in the future, it will belong to Autumn as well. I won't interfere with it. As for inheritance, as long as she's willing, if we have a son someday,
The meal ended up lasting until 2:00 p.m.Seeing that Stephen was nearly drunk, Dominic quickly said he could not drink anymore.Stephen understood his limits as well and naturally stopped.By that point, however, Isabella and Autumn were completely drunk."Autumn... I... I'm telling you... from now on... in this house... no one is allowed to bully you..." Isabella slurred, wrapping an arm around Autumn's shoulder as she spoke in broken fragments.Autumn's eyes were half-open as she mumbled dazedly, "O-Of course... no one dares bully me..."Isabella chuckled softly before continuing, "With me here, if you see someone you don't like... I'll deal with them for you! Like that Jessica... Don't think she's all that... She's nothing... right?""Y-Yeah, exactly..." Supporting each other as they staggered forward, Autumn muttered, "Let's go... Go to my room... Sleep... Sleep..."Step by step, they made their way upstairs.They swayed so badly that even Dominic grew nervous watching th
Dominic agreed with a smile. "Alright then!"Isabella rolled her eyes and turned to Autumn. "Autumn, can you drink?"Her smile carried a deeper meaning, and Autumn sensed the faint trace of hostility behind it. She immediately let out a cold snort, turned around, and brought back two large bottles of red wine.Using a corkscrew, Autumn yanked one bottle open with force. The wine spilled out cleanly as she looked at Isabella with a cold, provocative smile.Isabella's smile deepened. 'You have no idea what I've been through lately.'Without another word, the two of them began competing drink for drink.Before Dominic and Stephen had even started, the two women had already downed a large glass each.Dominic looked between them and said awkwardly, "Uh… don't just drink. Eat something too—""Don't interfere!"The moment he tried to stop them, both women rejected him in unison.Dominic immediately fell silent and turned to his father-in-law helplessly.Watching him get shut down,
When Autumn realized it really was Isabella, she froze for several seconds. Then she let out a cold snort. "Isabella, you're just as full of yourself as ever."Isabella was no longer the woman she used to be. Back then, her husband had abandoned her, and she had no confidence at all.Now, however, her confidence had completely skyrocketed. No matter what anyone else thought, in her mind, the queen had returned, and everyone else was just junior varsity.The smug look on Isabella's face instantly irritated Autumn. Grabbing Dominic's hand, she snapped, "Don't get too full of yourself. What, do you want me to serve you beverages too?""Aww, no need for that. It's the thought that counts." Isabella waved dismissively and answered in complete seriousness, even though Autumn had spoken sarcastically.Autumn nearly lost it on the spot. She stared at Isabella in disbelief. "Isabella, do you seriously have no shame?""I..." Isabella grinned and was about to continue when Dominic gave a li
Dominic spoke with calm confidence. "The Grants' downfall benefited a lot of people. The Hughes Group gained quite a bit from it too, didn't it?"Alfred hesitated for a few seconds before finally nodding. There was no way to hide something like that. Anyone could verify it with a little investigation.Even though he and Elijah had once been close, the first thing Alfred considered after the Grants collapsed was still how to maximize his own gains. That was simply the nature of businessmen.Dominic smiled. "So I'll say this again. I have no intention of becoming your enemy. As for the small conflict Benedict and I had before, I never took it to heart. I hope he can do the same."Also... Cosmos No. 2 is already in my hands. Before long, the side effects will be resolved as well. Mr. Hughes, you should understand what that means, right?"The moment Alfred heard that, his eyes widened. That meant Dominic would possess both Cosmos No. 1 and Cosmos No. 2 at the same time. It was practic
Seeing the red mark on Katherine's smooth forehead, Dominic changed the subject. "Sigh. Why didn't you block that guy? Are you keeping him around for the New Year?"On her phone, a man had sent her countless messages, each one more disgusting than the last. Even a man would feel sick reading them,
"You can call me Mr. Fleming," Dominic said calmly. "Let's make a deal. I need your help with something. If I'm satisfied, I'll help you fulfill your wish. Do you agree?"Someone like this was hardly worth helping. Still, helping him meant helping Leona. More importantly, Dominic could use Tom to a
The next day, Dominic woke a little after 6:00 a.m.He had just finished getting dressed when he suddenly remembered that Lilith was already on summer break. A smile crept onto his face for no reason at all. He flopped back onto the bed and went back to sleep.He slept until 7:30 a.m., when the al
Earlier, Dominic had noticed Tom from a distance. After all, no one wore a cotton jacket in June, yet nobody else seemed to find it strange. No one even glanced at him.Tom watched a scantily dressed woman walk into a small residential compound in the alley. Only then did he lower his gaze and say
