The news spread fast. Self-styled netizens quickly dug up Isabella's family background.The Sinclair Group in the distant Eastmere State was drawn into the fallout as well.James called Isabella and let out a heavy sigh. "Bella, you acted on impulse."Isabella frowned. "Dad, what are you talking about?""Dominic is at the center of the storm right now," James said. "You should not have stepped forward to speak for him."Isabella's expression hardened at once. "Dad! How can you say that? He's my husband. When he runs into trouble, I should face it with him as his wife.""You…" James fell silent. After a long pause, his voice turned grim. "You and he are already divorced. Do you think doing all this will move anyone? After he gets out, he might not even appreciate it.""What divorce? I don't acknowledge it!" Isabella snapped. "Whether he appreciates it is his problem. I'm standing out anyway. If this affects the family, you can issue a statement saying my actions have nothing to d

After Lydia left, Dominic chuckled softly.Ezra asked, puzzled, "Were you really threatening her?""No," Dominic replied casually.Ezra could not figure out Dominic's intent and chose not to press further. Instead, he said, "The trial's tomorrow. What are you thinking?""Nothing in particular," Dominic said with indifference. "Whatever the verdict should be, that's what it will be."Ezra frowned and sighed softly, then turned and left. He wanted to find evidence that would prove Dominic's innocence.The case, however, was not under his jurisdiction. He could not even access the evidence from the hotel room, which made the situation especially troublesome.Dominic waited in silence.Before long, someone else arrived.Jessica's eyes were red. The moment she saw him, she broke down in tears. "Dominic!"Dominic spoke quickly. "Hey, don't cry.""I'm so useless. I couldn't help you at all…" Jessica sobbed. Her uncle had demanded that she cut off all ties, a condition she could not

Dominic and Isabella finalized the plan. He said, "Alright, you should go back now.""No." Isabella pouted. "I want to stay with you a little longer!"Dominic asked, "What about Lily?""I got her to take a break from school. She's been staying at Kathy's place these days," Isabella said.A realization struck Dominic. He sighed. "These past few days must have been hard on Katherine."Isabella nodded. "Yeah, so you have to get out quickly. Kathy hurt herself during yoga. She's been walking awkwardly for the past few days."The words hit Dominic, and a dull ache settled in his chest.'Could it really be her…' He pictured Katherine's flawless cheeks and that striking figure.Silence stretched as his thoughts drifted.Isabella noticed his distraction. She waved a hand in front of his face and asked with curiosity, "Honey, what's wrong?""N-Nothing…" A rare note of fluster crept into Dominic's voice.Isabella seemed to understand. Jealousy tinged her tone. "You're spacing out just

The old man sat at the entrance of the courthouse, a gun resting in his hands. Isabella stood calmly at his side.The photo spread within minutes.The entire internet was shaken.The row of medals pinned to the old man's chest was profoundly intimidating. Anyone with experience could tell at a glance that he had survived two brutal, inhuman wars: the Ursk War and the Blizz War.What kind of merit did that represent? This was no ordinary veteran, but a living war legend.And now, this hero's grandson stood trial in a case already rumored to be riddled with questionable dealings.For several long minutes, the entire internet fell into silence.Social media platforms reacted with rare tact. Lydia's account was immediately banned, and all improper remarks related to Dominic and Isabella were wiped out in a sweeping purge.Then the discussions erupted.No one knew exactly what Dominic had experienced, but a war legend was the backbone of the country. If he had broken the law, then

Lydia screamed until her voice went hoarse, hurling accusation after accusation.Dominic responded with a sneer. He did not spare her a glance. His eyes remained fixed on the judge, steady and assessing.When Lydia finished her statement, Ernesto struck the gavel and said coldly, "Defendant, state your account."Dominic showed no sign of nervousness. He spoke evenly. "I did not commit any harassment against Lydia. After we finished hotpot that day, she said she felt unwell midway, so I bought her digestive tablets. She then asked me to send her back to her hotel. At the hotel entrance, she said she was too weak to walk and asked me to carry her upstairs."I agreed. However, my bottled water had been laced with an aphrodisiac, which caused physical discomfort for me as well. Because of that, I did not leave immediately. I went to the bathroom and rinsed myself with cold water."When I came out, Lydia clung to me. To be precise, she attempted to seduce me. I did not have any sexual
