Chapter 961

Dominic's eyes widened. He had never expected Jessica to pull such a sneaky stunt."Honey, that's not fair!" Isabella sounded aggrieved.Dominic felt a little awkward. "Well... I'll explain it to you later. There's a special reason for it!"Isabella froze for a moment. "A special reason?"She immediately recalled hearing them mention injections and pain, and she quickly put the pieces together.The jealousy drained from her voice as she said seriously, "Alright then. I'll wait for you at the Harris residence!"After hanging up, Jessica looked dissatisfied and ground her teeth. "Why isn't that ex-wife getting angry?"She had been hoping to see Isabella lose her composure, so the calm response left her disappointed.Dominic said helplessly, "You two must've been sworn enemies in a past life."...Over the next few days, Dominic traveled back and forth between the Harris and Hale estates.Time flew by, and before long, it was mid-March.Dominic's expression grew increasingly s

Jewel sighed again. "Sometimes, it's just so frustrating. We've clearly done nothing wrong, yet we keep getting targeted for all sorts of ridiculous reasons."Dominic smiled. "Isn't that just the nature of society? Aside from the people closest to you, even ordinary friends don't always want to see you succeed, let alone complete strangers. Besides... the Cosmos series has already affected the interests of a lot of people."His eyes remained calm and unreadable, like the still surface of a lake.It was also because his status in Daryon had skyrocketed during this time. Otherwise, the attacks against JewelMed would probably have been far more severe.With that in mind, Dominic said, "Jewel, honestly, these are all minor issues. Don't wear yourself out over them. If you don't feel like running around anymore, then don't. Let's see what they can actually do to us.""If you tell me not to go out, then I'll have nothing to do," Jewel muttered.Ever since they arrived in Daryon, they h

As Jewel spoke, she slowly climbed onto Dominic, almost as though she were climbing a tree. Her soft, moist lips trailed upward from his neck.With the atmosphere already charged, how could Dominic possibly hold back? He immediately slipped his arms around Jewel's slender waist and pulled her close.Looking into the older woman's emotion-clouded eyes, Dominic didn't waste another word. He leaned in and kissed her.A long while later, the two finally broke apart.Jewel looked a little shy. She lowered her head, smoothed out her skirt, and didn't dare meet Dominic's eyes.Dominic couldn't help letting out a quiet sigh. This woman was already in her 30s, yet she was still this inexperienced. When it came to boldness, she couldn't compare to Jessica, who was at least ten times more daring.It was no wonder it had been so long, and he still hadn't gotten anywhere.'Sometimes, women really should be a little more proactive. Don't you think?' he asked himself.Several minutes passed b

"Lana! You've completely lost your mind!" Dominic said coldly.Lana ignored Dominic's anger and replied with a light laugh, "Do you want to save her?"Dominic took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice. "This is between you and me. Let Jewel go. Whatever it is, we can talk it through.""Talk?" Lana's voice blazed with fury. "The last time you tried to kill me, you didn't show the slightest mercy!"Dominic forced himself to stay calm. "You and I have always been on opposite sides. There was never anything to discuss. Now tell me your terms. What do you want?""Of course I want to kill you! Hahahaha!" Lana's laughter sounded almost unhinged.Dominic remained composed. "There was never any deep hatred between us. We became enemies because of the Andersons. And now the people who wronged you the most are the Andersons. They're the ones you should be taking revenge on, including your precious Sebastian.""Sebastian..." Lana murmured, sounding momentarily uncertain.A few seconds la

Dominic frowned. He noticed that something about Lana had changed. The weapon in her hand looked less like a sword and more like a sharpened steel bar. It was incredibly ugly, but the sense of danger it radiated was even greater than before.He asked, "You're stronger than before?""Thanks to you." Lana flicked her wrist, and the steel bar traced a sword flourish through the air. "I think I've made a breakthrough."Dominic sneered, "You really know how to put on an act, making it sound so mystical. Anyone who didn't know better would think you're some undying martial practitioner."Although Lana had grown stronger, Dominic was wielding a fire axe today. Compared to before, his combat strength was on a completely different level.Lana let out a string of giggles. Her normally cold face carried an unexpected charm as she said sweetly, "You always say the strangest things. Tell me, how would you like to die? I'll make your wish come true today.""It doesn't seem like you plan on lea

Chapter 966

Dominic was genuinely starting to feel the pressure. He blocked with all his strength, but a single moment of carelessness was enough for a massive gash to be carved across his waist. Blood immediately seeped from the wound.The sharp pain made Dominic's expression change. "Damn it, that thing isn't rusty, is it? I don't want to get tetanus!"Lana's face remained cold. "You're overthinking it. You're going to die here today."After taking that hit, Dominic could no longer keep up with her speed. More and more wounds appeared across his body.This time, Lana had learned her lesson. She wasn't trying to inflict a fatal injury. Instead, she casually opened shallow cuts across his skin again and again. That made it impossible for Dominic to trade injury for injury.Dominic was furious. Lana was simply too fast. Even if they were only shallow cuts, no one could endure being whittled down forever.Taking a deep breath, he suddenly abandoned his defense. His right hand twisted as he swu
