Lahat ng Kabanata ng She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back: Kabanata 191 - Kabanata 200

Dominic nodded with practiced sincerity. "Of course."For the sake of 140,000 dollars, whatever she said was right."All right. You may go." Jewel dismissed him with a cold wave of her hand.As Dominic turned to leave, he caught Autumn mouthing *see you later* in his direction.He smiled and nodded in response.Jewel noticed. Her expression darkened further.After Dominic left, Autumn stepped behind Jewel's chair and began to massage her shoulders.She smiled as she spoke. "Hey, Aunt Jewel. Walking around with a stiff face all day really isn't good for you."Jewel snorted. "What is your relationship with him?"Autumn blinked. "What relationship? There isn't one at all. We're just ordinary friends. Don't overthink it."Jewel sneered, unconvinced. As if I'd believe that."You'd better know your limits," she said. "He's already old, freshly divorced, and he even has a child. If my sister finds out—""Aunt Jewel!" Autumn cut in quickly, her tone turning awkward. "Please don't t

"There's no way Isabella would hand the project over to Miss Wright so easily. For her to do that, something critically important must have happened."Dominic paused. He chose not to mention Alexander. "Anyway, based on a few details, Miss Wright must have used the car accident footage to strike a deal with Isabella. She had no reason to have that footage in the first place. I went over it again and again, and the only person I could think of was you."Autumn huffed. "That aunt of mine really is sly. I gave her the footage so she could pass it to you or deliver it straight to Isabella, and she still managed to squeeze benefits out of it. That's too much.""Then why didn't you give it to me directly?" Dominic asked curiously."I was afraid you'd blame me again for acting without your consent," Autumn said, glancing at him with caution in her eyes.Dominic sighed. "Am I really that unreasonable in your eyes? Can't I tell right from wrong?""Hehe." Autumn stuck out her tongue."Hon

Dominic agreed emphatically. "That's the only possibility!"Ezra's gaze locked onto Dominic's expression. "But after that car plunged off the cliff, you were the only witness. Did you notice anything unusual?"Dominic froze for a moment, then spoke in alarm. "Captain Sanchez, you're not suspecting me, are you?"Ezra smiled. "There's no need to be nervous. I'm just asking. That area doesn't have many residents, and you're the only witness, so this is routine questioning."Dominic smiled bitterly. "Last night, I was driving out to the countryside to see a friend. I had something to take care of. When I reached that area, I heard an explosion on the highway, and then a burning car rolled down the cliff. I had an ax in my car, so I went over to see if I could help."He paused before continuing, "After I got there, I realized the people in the car were beyond saving. I was about to call the police when a patrol car arrived."Ezra's eyes sharpened. "You said you were heading to the cou

Having the criminal investigation captain's number saved, whether real or fake, conveyed confidence on its own. That confidence was enough.The balding man did not dare offend him. More than that, if his behavior here ever came to light, his family would descend into chaos.Dominic nodded.The balding man scrambled to his feet and was about to bolt when Dominic spoke in a calm voice. "Pay the money."Leona stood at the doorway, staring blankly at the scene.Reluctantly, the balding man turned back. He pulled another bill from his pocket and handed it to Leona. Only then did he flee in panic.Leona looked down at the extra hundred dollars in her hand. She hesitated before speaking. "Thank you, handsome. Come in. I… I won't charge you."She knew Dominic had stepped in for her. Beyond that, she had no idea how to repay him.Dominic entered the room without a word.Tom followed close behind, his eyes bright with excitement.Leona walked inside and began to unfasten her skirt.Do

"In our photo frame, there's a bank card. There's still some money on it, a little over 110,000 dollars. The password is your birthday."As he spoke, he reached under Leona's bed and deftly pulled out a box. Inside was a photo frame. He opened it, and a card lay quietly within.Leona stared at him in shock. "How did you know…"Tom's voice turned bitter. "After I died, I stayed by your side the whole time."Leona looked at him blankly. After a moment, tears burst forth as she cried and scolded, "Tom, you really are a bastard!"Tom let out a long breath, as if relieved. He looked at Leona and said softly, "The luckiest thing in my life was meeting you. The thing I regret most is letting you down. Leona, I love you."With those words, his figure began to blur.Leona's heart lurched. Her voice trembled as she asked, "W-What's happening to you?"At that moment, Dominic pushed the door open. When he saw the scene, he released a quiet sigh. "His time is up."Under their gaze, Tom's f
