News that a former JewelMed employee had jumped from the 12th floor after deliberate incitement spread across the internet at extraordinary speed.The reputations of JewelMed and White Cosmos No. 1 collapsed almost overnight.Dominic convened an emergency press conference to address Abigail's death, but his explanation failed to calm public anger.Kenny was paralyzed, and Bernie was still in school. Abigail had been the family's sole breadwinner. Her cancer had already placed the household under immense strain, and her death by suicide only deepened the tragedy. How desperate had she been?Online, sympathy for Abigail's family surged.One question dominated the discussion: what had Abigail and Dominic discussed before her death? Many demanded answers.Had Dominic driven her to it?Public opinion quickly turned one-sided. Rumors and fabricated stories about White Cosmos No. 1 flooded the internet. None of it was true, yet the falsehoods only fueled outrage and drew more people in

Jessica heard him and stared blankly, her eyes shimmering as she gave a heavy nod.Katherine rarely saw her look so fragile and felt a pang of sympathy.No one expected what came next.Jessica spoke with sudden earnestness, "Dom, you're too good! Let's go to the room!"Dominic and Katherine froze.Autumn, not far away, looked up and stared at her.Jessica curled her lip in annoyance. "Why are you all staring at me?"She knew she could not follow through at that moment.…The next day, Dominic went to the company anyway.The office felt tense. Many employees wore no smiles and looked visibly worried.Internet trolls had proven relentless. By the third day after the incident, the situation had not eased. It had only grown worse.Sales of White Cosmos No. 1 dropped again. Rumors spread that the market regulation authorities might intervene, with a real risk of the product being pulled from shelves.Under such pressure, JewelMed's employees feared for their jobs. Their benefit

By then, Abigail's video had already spread across the internet at lightning speed. Nothing carried more weight than a clarification from the person involved.Jewel had been downcast for so long, but now joy finally returned to her face.Dominic chuckled. "I told you to relax. See? Things have already turned around."Jewel, brimming with excitement, kept scrolling through the reels.From that moment on, JewelMed's reputation reversed completely, and the slander vanished almost overnight.In the video, Abigail gave a clear and heartfelt account of her work experience at JewelMed.There was nothing questionable about it. Combined with Dominic's earlier clarification, the crisis could be considered fully resolved.Countless people began to apologize, and sales of White Cosmos No. 1 recovered at a visibly rapid pace.Dominic looked at Jewel with a smile.She scrolled for quite a while before finally confirming that JewelMed had truly weathered the storm.Emotion welled in her eye

After saying that, Dominic walked away.Rosie's eyes flew open. Rage swelled in her chest until it felt as though she could not breathe, and she was on the verge of rushing after him.At that moment, a hand shot out from the darkness behind her. It held a rag and clamped it over her mouth and nose."Mmph!" Rosie struggled instinctively, but within moments her strength gave out, and she collapsed to the ground.Dominic heard the movement behind him and smiled coldly. He did not look back. He walked on and left.A figure emerged where Rosie had fallen. Abigail stood there, watching her in silence.Rosie was quite beautiful. Her face was round, with a hint of baby fat. In her unconscious state, she looked almost peaceful.After a few seconds, Abigail knelt and wore gloves. She reached out and began to unfasten Rosie's clothes.Not long after, Rosie's brows drew together. Even unconscious, her face twisted with pain.No one knew how much time passed.In the small stretch of woods

Those few minutes felt like an entire century to Rosie. When the doctor finished the examination, she asked with fragile hope, "What… is the situation?"The doctor frowned and said, "There are wounds."At that, Rosie's last hope shattered. She felt hollow, as if something essential had been stripped away, and she swayed unsteadily where she stood.She did not remember how she left the hospital.By the time she returned to the villa, a single thought echoed in her mind. 'Dirty, too dirty!'She rushed into the bathroom and stood before the mirror. Bruises covered her body, and tears began to spill uncontrollably down her cheeks.The image of the old beggar rose again in her mind, his yellow teeth and filthy, reeking presence making her tremble.Her teeth chattered as she forced out each word. "DominIc, you beast… I will kill you!"Her eyes burned red, and her hatred for Dominic climbed to its peak. She had no intention of looking for any beggar, because in her mind, everything wa
