Chapter 457

Author: Axcellent
Back then…

Besides Isabella's own insistence, Leticia also rose to her feet.

She stepped in front of Isabella and declared with authority, "My granddaughter decides what happens with her child. If anyone else dares argue, try me."

The room fell silent at once. Not one of the dozen or so people present dared speak.

Even his father-in-law, James, did not dare oppose Leticia.

Dominic had secured his place at the head of the Sinclairs' table only because Leticia had spoken on his behalf.

  • She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back   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

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    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

    "Why are you bringing this up again? I already told you there's nothing between me and him. If you don't like it, I'll delete him from my contacts. Why can't you just let it go?" Isabella pouted and reached for the groceries in Dominic's hands. "Honey, put those down. Let me see your wounds.""My w

    The woman nodded thoughtfully. "My name is Cynthia Lewis. I probably died about ten days ago… I can't remember clearly."Dominic raised his brows. He'd thought a soul couldn't linger that long, yet this one had stayed for ten days. "How did you die?" he asked.Asking someone directly about their

    This made Dominic exhale in relief. A moment ago, he had worried that if simple contact could summon a ghost, it might trigger unpredictable consequences.Cynthia turned and watched his back as he walked away. After a pause, she shouted, "I'll wait for you at the gate of Blossom Elementary tomorrow

    "Reno Residence," Cynthia replied.Dominic skipped lunch and went straight to the address Cynthia had given him. Before long, an old, dilapidated apartment building came into view.Just as he was about to enter, Cynthia froze beside him. Her gaze locked on two figures in the distance, and her whol
