Chapter 631 – The Judgmental Eavesdroppers
*****Outside the private dining room, a growing crowd had gathered... eight, maybe nine individuals, all dressed in luxurious designer attire and dripping with the effortless air of the rich, influential, and socially elite.Men in custom-tailored suits and women in glimmering gowns stood in various states of disbelief, their eyes wide, jaws slack, and expressions frozen in collective astonishment.They had no intention of obeying Janet’s earlier polite request to return to their booths. Who would, when real-life drama hotter than any primetime telenovela was unfolding just meters away?A husband catching his cheating wife red-handed… in a private dining suite, no less? This wasn’t just dinner and gossip anymore. This was the evening spectacle.They had clung to every muffled word, every rising shout, their ears practically plastered against the ornate woodwork. No one knew precisely who the occupants of the room were, but that didn’t matter. The imagination could fill in the bl
Chapter 630 – Grace’s Sudden Recollection
*****Back in the present…Dominic remained frozen in place like a malfunctioning automaton, swaying slightly as though the weight of invisible chains had wrapped themselves around his limbs. His pupils had shrunk, his lips slightly parted, and his once-assertive presence was now reduced to a hollow shadow of itself.Inside his mind, a maelstrom of fragmented memories surged and crashed… flashbacks of every painstaking effort he had made over the past two and a half years to capture Grace's heart. Lavish gestures, desperate declarations, humiliating kneels under the scorching sun and freezing rain… and yet, the woman he adored with a madness he couldn’t even understand now stood before him… blank.A glacial numbness crept across Dominic’s entire being. He felt like someone submerged in ice-cold water. Then, without warning, his jaw began to jitter violently… his teeth clattering against each other as if spurred by some unseen winter.‘She… she doesn’t know m
Chapter 629 – Dominic’s Pain II
*****It all began on a bright Monday morning. Dominic had shown up at her company, Sky Group... holding a massive bouquet of imported roses in both arms.But he didn’t walk in.He had knelt on the pavement, bringing with him one of the country’s top musical bands to perform a serenade that had echoed down the street.They performed there while he knelt for hours.But Grace never came out.Not one soul from the company acknowledged his presence.He was left kneeling there in the sun like a lovesick fool.But rather than being discouraged or furious, Dominic had become… thrilled.To him, it was a challenge... an interesting and irresistible one.And he loved challenges.The next day, he returned again, this time with an enormous cardboard sign that read:“I love you, Grace. Will you be the queen of my kingdom, and I be your king?”But he was ignored once again.And again.And again.But Dominic only grew
Chapter 628 – Dominic’s Pain I
***** One full minute had passed… sixty entire seconds, but Dominic still hadn’t moved an inch. He hadn’t returned to his senses. He remained standing like a hollow statue, his shoulders slumped, his body trembling faintly, and his eyes vacant as though his soul had momentarily vacated his frame. It was as though someone had unplugged his very soul. Never in his life… not even remotely had he been stunned into stillness like this… such helpless disorientation, in his entire life. Not once. Not even close. And yet here he was. Grace’s perplexed, confused statement continued to echo in his mind with devastating clarity. "Who are you again?" He had done everything to leave an everlasting, unforgettable impression on her… things that had stripped him of pride, of dignity, of logic. He had put his entire being into making her see him, remember him, want him. And now… She didn’t e
Chapter 627 – Dominic Brutally Attacked
*****Janet hurriedly reversed out of the room and gently closed the door behind her. But before she did, she turned and saw the crowd that had gathered in the hallway… waiters, customers, even chefs sneaking peeks, all pressing to catch a glimpse of the drama unfolding in the private dining room.“Please, everyone, return to your tables,” she announced in her best manager voice, trying to reclaim control of the scene.Then, without waiting for any response, she shut the door firmly behind her.“Argh!”“Couldn’t you have let us see the ending?”“How could you cut the drama short?!”“I’m so annoyed!”“Hmph!”A wave of indignant complaints and protests erupted in the hallway.The bystanders, who had been deeply invested in what they had assumed was a scandalous soap opera... “a husband catching his cheating wife in the act”...groaned in frustration. They had wanted to see sparks fly, tempers explode, and maybe even punches thrown.
Chapter 626 – Xavier’s Humor
*****Xavier had left a long-lasting impression on Janet… a calm, lazy, and unshakable man who hadn’t even so much as flinched even while he had been falsely accused and cast as the villain, when in truth, he was merely a victim of wealth, power, and influence.The reason why she hadn’t recognized him so quickly was the drastic transformation around him.The simple yet tidy outfit, the fresh haircut, and... oh, the perfume. It was a scent she had never encountered before: pleasant, sophisticated, and unmistakably expensive. He looked so polished and refined, it was almost as if he were a completely different person.Her mouth slowly opened as realization dawned. Her heart trembled a little.‘Clothes… really do make a man,’ she thought eventually, a half-shocked, half-admiring smile blooming in her heart.She bowed respectfully to him, her expression now one of gratitude and acknowledgment.“Thank you, sir,” she said with sincerity. “I will escort h
