Chapter 856

Author: Axcellent
As the office lights flicked on, Nolan instantly felt his scalp go numb.

His throat dry, he said, "J-Jewel, why are you here?"

Jewel stood by the doorway without moving. A faint smile rested on her lips as she replied, "Where I am isn't important. What matters is this... Was this your real reason for getting close to me?"

"Jewel, let me explain..." Nolan said instinctively.

"Sure." Jewel pointed at the USB drive plugged into the laptop. "First, explain what's on that USB drive. If it's true,

    Nolan was thrown aside, the impact so powerful that he lost control of his body and crashed heavily to the ground.Even so, he knew the man standing before him was someone he couldn't hope to resist."Do you think I'll tell you?" he sneered.Dominic let out a quiet sigh. "I advise you to talk. Otherwise, you'll regret it."Nolan burst into wild laughter, as though he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.After laughing for a long while, he looked at Dominic with open mockery. "Dominic, Dominic... with your status and position now, how can you still be this naive?"Dominic paid no attention to the ridicule."That's fine. Before long, not only will you talk, but you'll end up working for me." His voice remained calm, but a chilling cruelty lingered in his eyes.Nolan froze for a moment as a cold shiver ran down his spine. Narrowing his eyes, he stared at Dominic. "You're planning to torture me? Or use drugs to control me?"Dominic smiled meaningfully. "You're about to e

    Nolan never would have imagined that what he considered flawless acting appeared riddled with holes in Jewel's eyes.Sometimes, he secretly read certain comments online. Some people had even compared him to a senior actor named Grant. He had quietly taken pride in that comparison, only to suffer a crushing blow instead.Nolan gritted his teeth. "Then why didn't you expose me? Were you deliberately playing with me?""I just wanted to see what your goal was!" Jewel sighed. "After all, what you'd done wasn't exactly an unforgivable crime. If I'd exposed you right away and you turned around and ran, wouldn't that have been letting you off too easily?"Nolan fell silent.Then a vicious glint flashed through his eyes. He quietly pulled out the USB drive and calmly edged toward the doorway.Jewel seemed completely unaware and continued, "Nolan, honestly, I'm pretty curious about you. Hurry up and tell me, who exactly sent you? If you explain everything clearly, maybe after we've known e

    As the office lights flicked on, Nolan instantly felt his scalp go numb.His throat dry, he said, "J-Jewel, why are you here?"Jewel stood by the doorway without moving. A faint smile rested on her lips as she replied, "Where I am isn't important. What matters is this... Was this your real reason for getting close to me?""Jewel, let me explain..." Nolan said instinctively."Sure." Jewel pointed at the USB drive plugged into the laptop. "First, explain what's on that USB drive. If it's true, then I'll believe you."Nolan hadn't expected her eyes to be so sharp. Even from the doorway, she had noticed such a tiny USB drive."This is..." He desperately searched for an explanation but couldn't think of one.After several seconds of silence, he finally asked, "When did you start suspecting me?""Suspecting you?" Jewel sounded amused. "I started suspecting you the very first time we met."Nolan stared at her, disbelief written across his face. "How is that possible? I didn't leave a

    Dominic let out a cold laugh. "That's only one of his goals. The other is probably to get closer to Jewel. And now it seems... he thinks he's succeeded.""So that's what this is really about?" Autumn asked, equal parts angry and worried. "Then I need to warn my aunt before she falls for it."As she spoke, she picked up her phone to make the call.Dominic stopped her and smiled. "There's no need. She knows exactly what's going on."He took out his phone and opened his call history.Several recent calls between him and Jewel appeared on the screen. After all, for a woman who had been single for 35 years, finally falling for a man wasn't something she would give up on easily....Over the next few days, Jewel and Dominic barely interacted. Instead, she grew increasingly close to Nolan. By the end of the week, she had even given him the key to her office.Dominic knew nothing about it at first. Then one day, while Jewel was away from the company, he returned to the office area and

    Dominic gently massaged Autumn's calf. "How's the pressure?"Autumn's eyes curved into crescents. She looked completely relaxed, though her bruised, swollen face made the scene seem slightly absurd.Dominic couldn't help complaining, "Seriously, what was Isabella thinking? Why'd she hit you that hard for no reason?"Autumn's entire body stiffened."W-What Isabella...?" she asked nervously.Dominic realized he'd let something slip, so he laughed it off. "Nothing. I just remembered something from the past.""Oh." Autumn shot him a suspicious look but didn't press the matter. After all, from Dominic's perspective, they had both supposedly fallen from the second floor...…By the afternoon, Dominic checked the time and led Autumn outside. Her ankle still hurt badly. She limped with every step, so Dominic simply carried her on his back.As they passed Jewel's office, she happened to step out at that exact moment. She froze for a second when she saw Dominic.He ignored her complete

    Jewel's expression darkened. Irritated, she said, "Fine, I understand what you mean. I'll transfer him to another position, as my personal bodyguard or... assistant."The moment Dominic heard the word assistant, instinctive disgust rose within him. He let out a cold laugh. "Whatever you want."With that, he turned and walked straight to his office.Jewel let out a soft sigh before looking at Nolan. "Nolan, are you okay?"Nolan's face had already gone pale, but he stubbornly replied, "I'm okay... Jewel, you have to believe me. I really didn't hurt her...""Alright, alright." Jewel rubbed her temples and instructed her assistant to arrange for two people to take him to the hospital.As for herself, she returned to her office and contacted Brian, asking the security department to send over the surveillance footage from the area.…Ten minutes later, Jewel received the video, and a slight frown gradually formed on her face.Based on the footage alone, there was no way to determine

    Lydia's expression stiffened, a hint of discomfort flashing across her face. She was only a lawyer. Unlike Autumn or Jessica, she lacked their confidence and presence. Aware of Isabella's identity and faced with such open hostility, she did not dare argue back.Dominic frowned. "Isabella, are you s

    "You have a high-level way of thinking!" Dominic exclaimed and gave her a thumbs-up."Autumn has a crush on you," Jewel said suddenly.Dominic froze for a moment, then nodded. "I know.""Heh. I thought you'd pretend to be clueless," Jewel sneered. "Your former sister-in-law also has a thing for y

    Lydia brushed her hair back from her forehead and smiled. "Actually, ever since you helped me last time, I've been wanting to find a chance to thank you."Dominic waved a hand. "It was nothing. Don't keep it in mind.""No way." Lydia smiled sweetly. "You may not think about it, but I've been keepi

    With a single sentence, Autumn reassessed the woman before her.Her gaze turned cold. "I've never had a boyfriend. That man is my cousin."Katherine gave a soft laugh. "Oh? So you're pretending to have a boyfriend?"The sarcasm in her voice was sharp enough to grate on anyone's nerves.Autumn re
