All Chapters of She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back: Chapter 421 - Chapter 430

Lydia's face lit up with joy.Dominic remained composed. "Judge, are you certain? Ruling on fabricated evidence seems a bit hasty."Ernesto frowned. "Defendant, the first trial has concluded. If you disagree with the verdict, you may file an appeal."Dominic smiled faintly. "Perhaps the second trial will be tomorrow."Ernesto stiffened. He mouthed a single word. "Bullshit."Even if Dominic appealed, Ernesto believed the outcome would not change.The hearing adjourned, and the courtroom doors swung open.At that moment, Ernesto noticed a forest of cameras aimed inside. That alone unsettled him, but what truly alarmed him was the sight just beyond the entrance: a cluster of Skyline City's senior officials. In the distance, he could even make out Henry's figure.'What's happening?' Ernesto's mind went blank.Officers escorted Dominic out, only for reporters to swarm him with rapid-fire questions.As the alleged victim, Lydia stood off to the side, completely ignored.Through th

As long as they stayed within the law, Dominic had nothing to fear. In fact, he could use this moment to forge a reputation of integrity and strength. While confronting the Grants, he could also remove obstacles that might threaten him in the future.Zachary fell silent. After a long pause, he gritted his teeth. "What do you want now?"If Dominic refused to ease his stance and publicly declared that the Grants had framed him, the family would face difficult days ahead.Dominic smiled, calm and unhurried. "Lydia framed me. If she had succeeded, I would be serving three and a half years in prison. More importantly, I might not have survived those three and a half years. I could have lost my life inside. You agree with that, don't you?"Zachary said nothing.Dominic's voice hardened. "I nearly lost my life. You shouldn't be asking what I want. You should be asking what you ought to do."Zachary's fingers trembled. After a long moment, he forced out the words. "Lydia will receive the

"Not really. I just can't stand you. Could you move a little farther away?" Isabella said, her voice edged with frost.Jessica clenched her teeth. "Isabella, don't push it! Do you think I—"Isabella's eyes brightened with challenge. "I don't believe you. So what are you going to do about it? Go on."The words pulled Jessica back to that night on the rooftop of the unfinished building. Her confidence faltered, and caution crept into her face.She studied Isabella for a long moment, then let out a derisive laugh. "You're trying to bait me into making a move so Dominic will dislike me even more and feel sorry for you. The ex-wife playing the victim. Two birds with one stone. Nice try. But you've got me wrong. I don't fall for cheap tricks."A flicker of disappointment crossed Isabella's face before she could hide it.Jessica pressed on, her tone turning sharp, "I do wonder where you learned those fake innocent routines. Did someone teach you personally?"The insult struck deeper th

Dominic returned to the room and found Isabella bent over Lilith, murmuring softly as she tried to coax her back to sleep.Lilith's eyes were wide and bright. The more Isabella urged her to close them, the more alert she seemed to become. Frustration crept into Isabella's voice, and impatience tightened her movements.Dominic watched in silence with a faint smile. He offered no help. Instead, he pulled a chair closer, sat down, and scrolled through his phone as if the small struggle on the bed had nothing to do with him.Isabella shot him a look and redoubled her efforts.Time slipped by unnoticed.At last, Lilith's breathing evened out. She surrendered to sleep.Isabella eased herself off the bed, stepped over carefully, and tugged at Dominic's sleeve."Honey, it's time to sleep," she whispered.The lights were already off. Moonlight streamed through the window and washed the room in silver, catching in her eyes and making them gleam.Dominic gave a quiet hum, set his phone a

Katherine asked nervously, "Hey… what are you doing?"The room held only her and Dominic. Tension tightened her chest until she could hear her own heartbeat pounding in her ears.Dominic remained calm. He sat on the sofa with a faint smile. "I didn't see you yesterday when I came out. I heard you hurt yourself doing yoga, so I came to check on you.""Oh, oh… I did get hurt," Katherine stammered. She felt too nervous to stand near him, so she retreated to the water dispenser. "I'll get you a glass of water."Dominic followed her with his eyes. Even after a few days, she had not fully recovered. Her steps still carried a slight stiffness.Katherine brought him the water. "Here. Drink."Dominic took the glass and drained it in one gulp. He set it aside and said bluntly, "Katherine, it was you that night."It was not a question. It was a statement.Her heart lurched. Panic flashed across her face. "W-What are you talking about… What night? I don't understand.""You do," Dominic sa
