"Dinner's ready." Dominic brought the dishes out, said only that to the two women on the sofa, then went to call Lilith.His footsteps were light. He stopped behind the girl and saw her gripping a mechanical pencil, clicking it over and over.When he noticed her exercise book, his face darkened, and his mood sank with it.The girl was writing an essay titled "My Dadd".Dinner was already on the table, yet Lilith had not even finished the title."Lilith Fleming." Dominic clenched his teeth and forced out each word.The girl jolted, spun around in panic, and met her father's grim expression.She put on a nervous smile. "Daddy… why are you here?"Dominic sneered and pointed at her exercise book. "Don't call me Daddy when you can't even finish the title."Lilith glanced down, quickly added the missing stroke, then hugged Dominic's arm and shook it. "See? It says Daddy now."Dominic sighed helplessly. "Come out and eat. After dinner, finish your homework. And tonight, you're not a

Chapter 122

After dinner, Dominic pushed Lilith back to her room to finish her homework, then went out to the balcony to smoke.The weather in late June was pleasant. A gentle breeze drifted through the air, cool and comfortable."Honey, I miss you so much." Isabella's voice sounded behind him.A moment later, a pair of arms wrapped around him, her soft body pressing against his back.Caught off guard, Dominic immediately pulled free. He turned to face her and said coldly, "Don't do this."Isabella's eyes filled with grievance. She did not know when it had begun, but Dominic's attitude toward her had changed. Where there had once been warmth, there was now only impatience and indifference.She told herself it was temporary. In the end, she would win."I just want to hug you," Isabella said, pouting. Her voice carried a pitiful tone."There are still half a month left," Dominic replied coolly. "After that, the only relationship between us will be Lily's father and mother. Nothing more.""A

Autumn frowned. "I'm here to check on Dominic. I'd rather ask what you're doing here."Isabella let out a cold, clipped laugh. "My husband and daughter are here. What do you think I'm doing? But you showing up at this hour is the real problem."My husband has a family. Do you really think it's appropriate for you to come over so late? If you had even a shred of morality or shame, you'd stay far away from a married man."Autumn did not expect the so-called defeated wife to bare her claws so suddenly.Her gaze darkened. "Morality and shame? Of course I have them. Whether you do is another matter. But none of that matters anymore. You two are getting divorced soon.""Oh, so you're waiting for my husband to get divorced?" Isabella scoffed. "You're practically waving your plans in my face. Too bad for you, I don't agree to the divorce. And even if we did divorce, we still have Lily. We're not leaving this home. Give up while you can, sweetheart."Autumn's pupils narrowed as her voice

Chapter 124

Isabella took a deep breath and forced the blood rushing to her head back down. She gnashed her teeth. "Autumn, did you fall into a cesspit? Why is your mouth full of crap?"Autumn froze. Her expression changed, flushing blue before draining pale. This time, Isabella had struck her weak spot dead-on.Autumn completely lost her temper. She spoke as she rolled up her sleeves. "Old woman, you're asking for it!"Isabella was already furious. She swept her hair up and tied it back, her voice turning icy. "You foul-mouthed brat. I'll teach you a lesson today."A crowd had already gathered. As they took in the scene, excitement rippled through them."Fight, fight!""Tear her clothes! Grab her hair!"Just as the fight was about to erupt, Katherine kept her composure. She knew the spectacle could not continue, so she stepped between them. "Alright, enough. Are you two really about to start fighting?"Autumn shot her a cold glare. "Who are you?"Katherine replied evenly, "I'm Lily's aun

The moment he entered the company, quite a few people began sizing him up, especially the female colleagues. Many pairs of eyes lit up, and more than a few glances lingered on him.Dominic stood out too much to go unnoticed. His features were sharp, his build tall, and his outfit that day drew attention without trying. He looked energetic, with a presence that naturally commanded notice.A woman in her 30s walked over and spoke."Hey, handsome, do you need any help?"She looked presentable, dressed in a fitted pencil skirt that showed off her figure and added a touch of charm. A work badge hung around her neck. Her name read Denise Foster.Dominic smiled. "Miss Foster, my name's Dominic. I passed the interview the other day. I'm here to complete my onboarding."Denise's eyes brightened at once.She was not the only one. Several people in the office area wore looks of surprise.It was Dominic's first day, and everything still felt unfamiliar.Denise spoke with enthusiasm. "Come w

Chapter 126

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 painfully, "She… is my wife. No. To be precise, she's my ex-wife."Dominic raised an eyebrow. He had noticed the woman's heavy makeup as well. It seemed Tom's story would be an interesting one."Let's go," Dominic said. "We'll talk at my place."Lilith was still in the car, and he had no intention of lingering.Tom looked once more toward the alley where his ex-wife had disappeared, then reluctantly withdrew his gaze. He murmured, "Alright."Dominic walked to the car, opened the front passenger door, and ushered Tom inside before driving home."Daddy, what were you doing just now?" the girl asked with curiosity.She had not seen Tom and found it strange that her father had walked away

Chapter 127

Tom secretly swore that he would never wrong his wife again, but that resolve lasted only until evening. He leaned back against the sofa and checked his phone. A few photos had come in from someone. His eyes lit up at once.At the same time, Leona brought over hot water and gently washed his feet.When she finished, he pretended to massage her back and said, "Honey, some friends want to get together. I'll just grab a meal and come right back.""Mmhmm." Unsuspecting, Leona nodded. "Don't stay out too late. Do you have enough money? I'll transfer you 1,000 dollars."Tom's heart had already flown out the window. He nodded quickly and hurried out the door.From that point on, he changed completely.Even while watching a movie with Leona, if he stepped into the bathroom and spotted an ad taped to the door, he could not resist writing down the number.These days slipped by without her noticing, stretching into a full year.Over that year, in corners Leona could not see, he spent more

Chapter 128

Tom let out a bitter laugh. "There's no medicine for regret. I can only reap what I sow. But I… I wronged them."Dominic asked, "And after that? How did Leona end up like that?"From Tom's account, Leona had once been pure and sweet. The woman he described felt impossible to reconcile with the one they had seen earlier, heavy makeup on her face and revealing clothes on her body.Tom covered his face, his expression contorted with pain.After that day, Leona blocked every means of contact and vanished from his life.Their marriage ended through a lawsuit.More than a year passed. Tom later learned that Leona had given birth to the baby on her own.That piece of news pierced his despair and filled him with a desperate longing to see his child. By then, however, the HIV in his body had already erupted. In the end, he died alone in some forgotten corner, carrying his longing for his wife and child with him.After his death, he finally saw his ex-wife again at his own funeral, and t

"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 achieve his own goal.Tom's eyes lit up. He nodded at once. "I agree. I completely agree. Mr. Fleming, as long as you can help me, I'll do anything."Dominic fixed him with a steady stare, his voice low and firm. "Good. Starting today, you'll wait at the place where we just met. When I need you, I'll come find you. If you leave that place, our deal is void. Do you understand?""No problem," Tom said without hesitation. To him, Dominic was his only hope.Dominic smiled. "Then it's settled. You can go."Tom hesitated before asking, "Sorry, but what do you want me to do?"Dominic's smile remained, but his eyes turned icy. "Kill someone. Not just one. Do you dare?"Tom froze for a brief mo

Chapter 130

Lilith finally started her summer break. The moment it began, she could not wait to stay at Katherine's place.Dominic had no choice. He complained that the girl was all grown up and could not be kept at home, then quietly sent her to Riverside Residence.They reached Unit 902, and Dominic raised his hand to knock."Dad, I have the fingerprint!" Lilith darted in front of him and pressed her hand against the lock.The bell chimed, and the door opened.Dominic smiled and prepared to greet them.The next second, both the people inside and outside froze in shock. Isabella reacted first. She rushed over and covered Dominic's eyes with her hand. "Honey, don't look!"A heartbeat later, Katherine let out a scream sharp enough to crack metal. "Ahhhhhhh…"Isabella slammed the door shut, and it nearly hit Dominic in the face.He turned away in stiff embarrassment, took out a cigarette, and waited until his racing heartbeat finally slowed.That image of those beauties, however, refused
