เข้าสู่ระบบDominic chuckled and set his phone down.Henry knew he had done it on purpose and shook his head, at a loss. 'This fella is sharp and cunning.'With Jessica's single-minded nature, she would probably still smile and help him count the money even after being sold.After a brief silence, Dominic said, "I heard the state department has arranged for people to keep an eye on me.""Is that so?" Henry asked, puzzled. "Why are they watching you?""It stems from three cases," Dominic replied calmly. "There were three…"He went on to recount them.Henry had, in fact, heard about those cases before. Now, with Dominic's special abilities in mind, he understood and smiled. "Looks like those three cases were handled by some unseen friends."Dominic knew he could not hide it from him and had no intention of trying. He nodded and explained why those people deserved to die.Alexander had killed him once, so his revenge was justified. As for Adam and Zachary, there was no need to elaborate. Wen
The study was filled with smoke.Henry smiled. "Smoking isn't a good habit."Dominic shot back, "I don't see you quitting either."Henry froze for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile. "You brat..."A thought crossed Dominic's mind, and he said, with quiet intent, "Nathan might still be able to come back. It's just that... he'd be someone else."Henry's eyes trembled. He stood dazed for a long while before letting out a soft sigh. "I've lived most of my life only to realize this world is far bigger than I imagined. Turns out I've been living in a bubble."Dominic hesitated. "Don't you want to—""I know what you mean," Henry cut in. "We're already at this age. We've come to terms with many things. Seeing Nathan again today has eased some of our regrets. We only hope he can be born into an ordinary family, free from all the scheming, and grow up healthy and safe. That's better than anything."Pain lingered in his expression, yet there was also a sense of release.Wh
Serena seemed not to hear Dominic. She held her son tightly, unwilling to let go.At her reaction, Henry appeared to lose all strength. His hands fell limply to his sides. Though he was a powerful governor responsible for the livelihood of over 100,000,000 people, he still could not control life and death.After a moment, he seemed to realize something. He muttered, "Obsession… Nathan has an obsession…"His eyes snapped toward his son.At that moment, Nathan cried out, "Dad, Mom! I wasn't killed in a car accident. It was Uncle—"Dominic was startled. "Wait!"He did not want to get involved, and he did not want to know. He said quickly, "Hey, you two talk. I'll go have a smoke."As he turned to leave, Henry said, "That's my study over there. Go rest inside."Dominic nodded, then reminded Nathan, "Don't drop the hair."The boy looked at him with gratitude. "Thank you, sir!"Dominic gave a faint smile and entered the study.The room was simply arranged. A document lay on the de
Henry's car arrived shortly afterward. He guided Dominic into the back seat and asked carefully, "He… got in, right?"Dominic glanced aside and nodded.Henry's lips trembled. He tapped the driver's seat. "Take me home."He had two residences. He usually stayed at the Capitol and only returned home during holidays.The driver asked no questions and drove straight out of the compound.More than ten minutes later, they stopped at the entrance to a quiet residential area. The landscaping was well maintained, and guards stood at the gate. The driver proceeded inside without pause.At that moment, Henry's composure began to falter. Anxiety crept into his expression.Dominic watched and sighed inwardly. Even someone at Henry's level could not remain unaffected when faced with life and death.The car rolled to a stop in front of a building.Before it came to a full halt, Henry had already stepped out. When Dominic followed, he saw Henry still staring at the empty seat, his face tense
Henry said coldly, "Jessica, Dominic is here with me. You're not suitable for him. Move to my place tonight."Jessica panicked. "Uncle Henry, what are you saying?""Listen," Henry said. "I've looked into this man. He—""Uncle Henry!" Jessica cut him off before he could finish. "You don't understand him at all!"Henry was stunned. Dominic let out a faint laugh."I'm staying here," Jessica said, her voice sharp with anger. "I won't move, even if you beat me to death. And Dominic ran into trouble today. You have to help him resolve it!"With that, she hung up.Henry stared at the phone, completely speechless.After a moment, he let out an angry laugh, fixed his gaze on Dominic, and said, "Impressive. You're so sure Jessica listens to you that you think you can control me?"Dominic lifted a hand in a casual gesture. "Everything I said is true."Henry clenched his fists, forcing down his anger. "I'll call the Jones family. Go apologize, and we'll end this matter here. Then leave.
Andrew pushed the door open and gestured to Dominic. "Please."Dominic nodded and stepped into the office. Andrew stepped out and closed the door behind him.The office was spare, with two filing cabinets, a desk, and a guest sofa.A man in his fifties sat behind the desk, focused on the documents in front of him.Dominic had seen him once when he returned to his hometown. Back then, Henry had been chatting with Jessica, and Dominic had not spoken. This was the first time he studied the high-ranking official closely.'He looks younger than he did on TV,' Dominic thought.Henry was 58 this year. In his position, he was already four or five years younger than most of his peers, yet he appeared even younger in person.That alone spoke to the Hales' standing. Given Henry's age, if Skyline City's economy showed stronger results, nothing would prevent him from entering the Senate.Dominic remained silent. After a moment, Henry looked up. "Sit down. I have a meeting at 5:00 p.m."It
Next, Dominic drove Isabella to Riverside Residence, then went upstairs to see Lilith.Katherine noticed her sister's expression and could already guess the outcome. She let out a quiet sigh and chose not to ask."Lily, are you sleeping here with Auntie tonight, or going home?"Hearing Dominic's
Dominic peeked into the little pervert's room and found that all her belongings were still there. He took out his phone and called Jessica.She answered almost immediately. "Dominic!""Where do you want to eat later?" he asked. "I'm planning to cook. Should I make a portion for you?""Ah! Dominic
Yvonne turned her head to look at James. Her eyes brimmed with grievance as she said, "She… hit me!"James shook his head and did not spare his wife a glance. Instead, he fixed a steady gaze on Dominic and said, "Dominic, filing this lawsuit goes too far."Isabella hurried forward to stand in fron
Isabella cried until her chest ached. Dominic found it irritating and snapped, "Can you stop crying already?"Instead of calming her, the words broke what little restraint she had left. She cried even harder, her sobs raw and unrestrained.Dominic grew impatient. He pulled a few tissues from the s
