Chapter 291

"We'll talk about it when it's closer to the New Year." Jessica frowned. She still wanted to spend the holiday with Dominic."Come back early for the New Year and pay a visit to the Jones family." Her mother kept her voice gentle, but there was an authority in it that left no room for refusal."The Jones family? Shaun Jones?" Jessica's small face tightened at once. Without thinking, she blurted out, "I'm not going.""What silly things are you saying, my daughter?" The woman chuckled lightly. "Alright, then. Go have fun. Just don't ignore my calls again."With that, the call ended.Jessica stared at her phone. The good mood she had carried all day vanished, and her expression darkened.…When Dominic returned home, he found Lilith sitting on a small stool, her head bent low over her homework. Her little face looked solemn, as though she were racing against time.Dominic burst out laughing. "Summer vacation is almost over, and you're only doing your homework now?"Lilith tilted

Chapter 292

Suddenly, a chilling suspicion crept into Dominic's mind. 'That's…'Charlotte tilted her head. Her big, clear eyes looked up at him with innocent curiosity as she asked, "Mister, what's wrong?"Dominic snapped back to himself and forced a smile. "I'm fine. I was just thinking about a few things.""Mister, don't think about sad things!" Charlotte's bright eyes sparkled. She reached out with her tiny finger and tapped the tip of Dominic's nose. "Grandpa Eldric told me that if you think about Mommy and Daddy every day, you'll become very sad."Dominic pushed aside his thoughts, focused on Charlotte's adorable little face, and smiled. "Charlotte, where do you go every day? What do you usually do?""I don't really do much…" She tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Grandpa Eldric is busy every day, but he told me that as long as I'm good and patient, I can grow up to be a good child for Mommy and Daddy."Those words made Dominic's heart skip a beat. His expression turned thoughtf

Chapter 293

Dominic could not help wondering whether his resurrection had anything to do with the apple he had eaten as a child.He sat on the edge of the bed for a while, still unable to figure out the fruit's true effect. Unwilling to dwell on it, he placed the apple at the very bottom of the cabinet and locked it away.He got dressed and headed out.Isabella stepped out of her room just then and saw him. "Honey, I woke Lily up. I'll go with you to drop her off at school!"Dominic frowned. "I can take her myself."Isabella, long accustomed to his cold remarks, did not mind.She said lightly, "Hey, my car's at the service center for maintenance. You're not really going to let your beautiful wife take a taxi to work, are you?"Dominic glanced at her and sneered, "So taking Lily to school is just an excuse? You actually want me to drive you to work.""Mm-hmm!" Isabella showed no embarrassment at being seen through and looked at him with pleading, puppy-like eyes."No chance," Dominic said

Chapter 294

Dominic did not look at Isabella's expression.After she stepped out of the car, he started the engine, made a U-turn, and drove straight back to JewelMed.…As soon as he entered the office, he saw Abigail hurrying past."Abby, where are you headed?" Dominic asked.She noticed him and gave an awkward smile. "Mr. Fleming, something came up at home. I need to take a day off."Dominic frowned. "Is it your husband?"Abigail nodded. Her face looked pale and strained."If there's trouble at home, you can tell me," Dominic said.Her eyes flickered. "Thank you, Mr. Fleming. I should get going."She left in a hurry.Dominic returned to his office and sat down.Jewel soon came in and said, "Mr. Fleming, everything has been coordinated. The official opening is set for September 12."A trace of nervousness showed on her face.Dominic understood her anxiety. For Jewel, this venture involved real risk. She had even given up control of the company.Dominic smiled. "Miss Wright, you lo

Chapter 295

Jessica grew impatient after being rejected by Dominic several times and finally stormed into the office, drawing plenty of attention.He had no choice but to give up his chair and let the little troublemaker sit there, sipping hot cocoa while he worked on his laptop.It was worth noting that he left the office door wide open. Not for any other reason, but with Jessica around, he needed to keep a close watch.Aside from Jessica, Autumn never came looking for him. She remained as distant and detached as ever, which left Dominic with a lingering sense of regret.He could not figure out what he had done to offend her.…Time slipped by, and before Dominic realized it, September 12 had arrived. It was Friday.Early that morning, Skyline City Plaza was already crowded with people.Dominic arrived early at the White Cosmos flagship store. After all, the product came from Cosmos. Out of respect and to highlight the laboratory's reputation, the store's signage emphasized White Cosmos.

Chapter 296

At that moment, dozens of staff members inside the store struggled to keep up. A handful of managers moved through the crowd, trying to maintain order.Nearly every seat was filled, with customers experiencing White Cosmos No. 1. About 80% of them were women. With so many women moving about, they naturally drew the attention of many men, which only made the crowd swell further.Dominic took in the lively scene and felt a heavy weight lift from his chest.A sudden commotion erupted at the entrance.Almost everyone turned to look outside, hesitation spreading across their faces.Dominic frowned and walked out.Several uniformed men were entering, their expressions unfriendly."It's the regulatory bureau!" Jewel's face darkened as she muttered the words under her breath.Dominic understood at once. Zachary had likely sent them.One of the managers stepped forward to speak, but a bureau official blocked him and spoke in a cold voice. "Get your boss here. Now!"Sweat broke out on

Chapter 297

Dominic unrolled the scroll. Bold, forceful calligraphy filled the page, each character sharp and resolute, like iron strokes etched in silver.[Masterful Craftsmanship]The signature read… Henry Hale.Michael barely reacted at first. The man beside him, however, glanced at the scroll and froze, his face draining of color.Michael folded his arms and snorted. "What does it say?"The man below him was already trembling. His voice shook as he stammered, "M-Mr. Hale!""What?" Michael paused, then strode over to look for himself. The instant he saw the signature, it felt as if something detonated inside his chest.'Damn it!' His legs weakened, and he nearly collapsed.He was not the only one. Isabella and Jewel stood beside him, equally stunned.Dominic remained shocked for several seconds before he took a deep breath and asked, "May I ask how I should address you?""Just call me Mr. Hale," the middle-aged man said with a mild smile. "Go on with your business. I will not interfer

Jessica's arm had been yanked red. She rubbed it while complaining unhappily, "Ex-wife, why are you so rough!"Isabella glared at her. "If you keep clinging to my husband, I'll get even rougher. Do you want to try me?"Jessica snorted. "Give me a break. You've been divorced for so long, yet you still call him your husband. Do you have no shame at all?""You…" Isabella burned with anger.Dominic had no interest in dealing with them. His gaze settled on Autumn, and an uncomfortable weight pressed into his chest.He forced a smile. "You're seeing someone now? When did that happen?"Autumn paused for two seconds. "Not long ago."Dominic released a quiet breath. "Congratulations, then."Isabella stopped arguing with Jessica and pulled her aside. She returned to Dominic and smiled at Autumn. "Your boyfriend is very handsome. You two look great together."The man appeared to be about 25. He had striking features, a gentle smile, and an air that suggested wealth or status.He spoke o

Chapter 299

Autumn remained silent, but panic already flickered in her eyes.…Dominic's gaze stayed fixed on the sports car disappearing down the road.Isabella spoke with a sour edge. "Stop staring. They're already gone!"He snapped back to his senses and walked into the store without a word.Only Jessica and Isabella remained. They stared at each other, each sensing the other's wariness.With Autumn clearly out of the picture, their attention naturally shifted to one another.Isabella scoffed. "Jessica, you've already been kicked out. If I were you, I wouldn't dare show my face in front of my husband again for the rest of my life.""So what?" Jessica snorted. "I only went home temporarily. I'll be back sooner or later.""You're not that good-looking, yet you dream big," Isabella sneered.When it came to appearances, Jessica was indeed at a disadvantage. She showed no sign of discouragement. Instead, she grinned. "Haven't you heard?"Isabella froze. "Heard what?"Jessica straightened

Chapter 300

After clearing his chat history with Autumn, Dominic lit a cigarette to calm his frustration.Before he could enjoy the quiet, Isabella and Jessica barged in.The sight of Isabella only worsened his already sour mood. He frowned and said, "Aren't you supposed to be at the office?""Honey, what kind of question is that?" Isabella replied, as if the answer were obvious. "You're opening here today. Of course I had to come.""You really don't have to," Dominic said flatly."Yeah, yeah," Jessica echoed from the side.Isabella did not take offense. She walked over with a smile, gently massaged Dominic's temples, and said, "Honey, I know you're feeling a bit down, but Autumn was always going to get married someday. It's fine. Your wife is the one who stays with you every day."Jessica refused to fall behind. "And me too. Isabella, you're already the ex-wife. Could you have a little self-awareness?"Dominic glanced at Jessica. "That piece your uncle sent today…""I went to see my uncl
