From behind the marble pillar, Sebastian narrowed his eyes. Although he couldn’t hear every word, he clearly saw Jeff respectfully handing the leather folder to Dominic. He let out a dismissive laugh. “Hah.” “Look at that.” Camilla frowned. “What?” Sebastian pointed toward Dominic. “Didn’t I tell you?” “He’s nothing more than someone running errands.” “He probably helped Jeff once, so now Jeff trusts him with delivering documents.” He shrugged indifferently. “That’s all there is to it.” Camilla looked at Dominic again. Seeing him casually accept the folder, she slowly nodded. “You’re right.” “Otherwise, why would Jeff hand him documents?” “He must be acting as his assistant.” The uneasiness in her heart gradually disappeared. She smiled mockingly. “I almost thought he actually owned those companies.” Sebastian chuckled. “You’ve finally come to your senses.” “Think about it.” “If Dominic were truly the owner…” “Would Jeff hand him the documents outside instead o

A satisfied smile spread across Camilla’s face. She felt as though a heavy stone had finally been lifted from her heart. “Good.” “I want everyone to see his true colors.” “I refuse to believe he can deceive people forever.” Sebastian confidently wrapped an arm around her waist. “Leave everything to me.” “I’ve already asked my uncle to investigate him.” “He has connections throughout the country.” “If Dominic has the slightest problem with his background…” “We’ll find it.” Camilla nodded. “And once we expose him…” “I’ll personally watch everyone who praised him tonight laugh in his face.” She looked through the glass doors at Dominic one last time. A cold smile slowly appeared on her lips. “You’ve embarrassed me enough.” “It’s my turn to return the favor.” … Outside the auction house… Eleanor carefully hugged the jewelry box against her chest. She looked at Dominic with gratitude. “I still can’t believe this is happening.” “I’ve dreamed of getting my mother’s neck

Sebastian, who had just gotten into his car with Camilla, frowned. “What nonsense are you talking about?” The subordinate swallowed nervously. “I’m serious, Mr. Sebastian.” “I followed Dominic after he left the auction.” “He wasn’t alone.” “There are more than twenty bodyguards surrounding him.” “They all addressed him as ‘Chairman.’” Sebastian’s expression darkened. “Chairman?” “Chairman of what?” “I don’t know.” “But an elderly man just arrived.” “He called Dominic ‘Master.’” “He also said…” The subordinate hesitated. “He said the helicopter is ready.” “And that everyone at headquarters is waiting for Dominic’s return.” Sebastian’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. “What?” The subordinate quickly added, “I took pictures.” “I’ll send them to you immediately.” A few seconds later… Sebastian’s phone vibrated. He opened the photos. One after another. The first showed Dominic standing calmly with rows of bodyguards bowing respectfully before him. The second

The old man's eyes turned slightly red. For a brief moment, he was no longer the respected patriarch who commanded countless business empires. He was simply a grandfather seeing his grandson again after three long years. "You've become thinner." His voice was filled with concern. "Have you been eating properly?" Dario smiled faintly. "I'm fine." The old man snorted. "You call that fine?" "You disappeared without a word." "For three years, you refused every call." "You rejected every report." "You even ignored the board meetings." He tapped his cane against the marble floor. "Do you have any idea how worried everyone was?" Dario lowered his eyes. "I needed those three years." The old man fell silent. He knew exactly what Dario meant. Three years ago... After taking Sky Dragon Group to unprecedented heights, Dario had shocked everyone by announcing that he was leaving. He handed the day-to-day management to the board and disappeared. Not even his closest aides knew

The conference room remained silent. Every executive instinctively turned to look at Dominic. Uncle Mason frowned. “Chairman…” “Should we bring Sebastian Hayes in for questioning?” Another executive immediately nodded. “If his company is involved in purchasing Blackcrest International’s shares, then he must know something.” “He could be one of their people.” Dominic remained calm. He looked at the information displayed on the tablet before gently placing it back on the table. “No.” Everyone was stunned. “No?” Uncle Mason asked in confusion. Dominic slowly stood up. “If Sebastian were truly behind this…” “He wouldn’t be foolish enough to use a company registered under his own name.” He walked toward the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking down at the brightly lit city, he continued, “This is too obvious.” “It’s meant to divert our attention.” “They want us to waste time investigating the wrong person.” Uncle Mason thought for a moment before nodding. “They’re using hi

Camilla pushed open the front door and froze for a moment. The living room, which had been unusually quiet these past few days, was no longer empty. Her mother, Mrs. Bridget, sat elegantly on the sofa with a cup of tea in her hand, while her younger sister, Sophie, lazily scrolled through her phone with a bowl of fruit on the coffee table. The moment they saw Camilla, both women looked up. “Mum?” Camilla blinked in surprise. “You didn’t tell me you were coming.” Mrs. Bridget placed her teacup down and let out a cold snort. “I heard people saying you finally divorced that good-for-nothing husband of yours.” “I thought it was just another ridiculous rumor.” “So I decided to come and see for myself.” She looked around the spacious living room before asking, “Where is he?” Camilla lowered her gaze. “He left.” Mrs. Bridget’s lips immediately curled into a satisfied smile. “So it’s true.” “Good.” “That useless parasite is finally gone.” She stood up and walked over to Cami

The first rays of the morning sun filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Sky Dragon Headquarters. Dominic had barely finished reviewing several documents when his phone rang. He glanced at the screen. A smile unconsciously appeared on his face. Eleanor Calling… He answered immediately. “Good morning.” Eleanor’s cheerful voice came from the other end. “Good morning?” She laughed softly. “I was beginning to think you’d forgotten your promise.” Dominic leaned back in his chair. “My promise?” “Don’t pretend you don’t remember.” “You promised to have dinner with me.” “You still owe me one dinner.” Dominic chuckled. “So this is a debt collector calling me.” “Exactly.” “And I intend to collect every penny.” She paused before adding playfully, “I’ve even cleared my entire schedule for today.” “You wouldn’t stand me up… would you?” Dominic smiled faintly. “I have several meetings today.” The cheerful voice on the other end immediately became disappointed. “Oh

Mrs. Bridget’s confident smile stiffened. “Reservation?” She frowned as if she had misheard him. “Why would we need a reservation?” The restaurant manager maintained his professional smile. “I’m sorry, ma’am.” “All private rooms at Royal Garden are reserved several days in advance.” “Without a reservation, you’ll have to wait for a table.” Mrs. Bridget’s expression darkened. “Wait?” She pointed toward the direction Dominic had just gone. “You didn’t ask him for any reservation.” The manager replied calmly, “Mr. Dominic’s reservation was made in advance.” “And the Imperial Sky Suite is reserved exclusively for him this evening.” Mrs. Bridget was momentarily speechless. One of her friends quickly stepped forward. “There must be some mistake.” “We’re regular customers here.” “Surely you can arrange another private room.” The manager apologized politely. “I’m sorry.” “Every VIP room has already been booked.” Mrs. Bridget clenched her jaw. She had deliberately invite

Mrs. Bridget stood motionless in the parking lot. Linda’s words kept echoing in her mind. «“The chairman of Imperial Group doesn’t personally welcome ordinary people.”» She clenched her handbag tightly. “No…” “Linda must have been mistaken.” “There has to be another explanation.” One of her friends nodded immediately. “Exactly.” “Perhaps the chairman mistook him for someone else.” Another woman laughed. “Or maybe he was welcoming the young lady with him.” “She looks like she comes from a wealthy family.” Mrs. Bridget’s expression gradually relaxed. “That’s right.” “It must have been because of Eleanor.” “Dominic has always been lucky with women.” “He simply found another rich woman to rely on.” The explanation immediately made her feel much better. She smiled proudly again. “I almost let that useless man fool me.” The four women got into their cars and drove away. However… None of them noticed a black Rolls-Royce quietly pulling up in front of the restaurant. Th
