Ending the call swiftly, his expression notably stern, Domenic pondered for a moment before dialing a number.


    After a few beeps, anguid yet clear female voice echoed from the receiver, “Domenic? Can pigs fly today? You actually called me.


    ”


    “Aunt Rachel, I do call you every year, remember?” Domenic said lightly.


    “You call every New Year, wish me a happy new year, and then hang up quickly.


    It’s like saying one more word is too much for you.


    ”


    Rachel Walsh often teased Domenic, who usually responded with silence.


    But this time, he quickly replied, “I’ve been tied up with business.


    Please don’t be upset with me.


    ”


    On the other end, Rachel was slightly taken aback.


    Then, with a hint of curiosity, she asked, “Do you need my help with something? Just tell me.


    ”


    Rachel, Domenic’s aunt, was second only to his mother in understanding him well.


    She was the beloved daughter of Jordan, ustomed to avish lifestyle.


    She was also dearly loved by Domenic’s father.


    As far as Domenic could remember, Rachel had married into the Lawson family.


    During his time living away with his parents, Rachel often visited, bringing him toys and treats.


    Back then, Domenic was quite fond of his Aunt Rachel.


    However, over time, Domenic grew distant from her.


    He vividly remembered being locked in the cer by his uncles, and Rachel hade to visit Jordan that day.


    She was there but did not help Domenic.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    This incident left an enduring scar in Domenic’s heart.


    Although the pain faded over time, the scar remained, creating an unbridgeable rift.


    “What’s Uncle Brady up to these days?” Domenic casually inquired.


    Rachel’s brow furrowed slightly.


    It was rare for Domenic to ask about Brady.


    Was something amiss?


    “He’s been tied up with a project in Domico City recently.


    Why do you ask?”


    “Nothing.


    I’m just curious.


    ” Leaning backzily and holding the phone, Domenic mused, “Emilio mentioned that a female artist, despite being cklisted by Vitality Entertainment, is still thriving in showbiz.


    Not only that, she’s being whitewashed by the media, and even the Perry family seems to respect her.


    Outside of higher-up in the Walsh Group, only Uncle Brady could pull that off.


    ”


    “A female artist…” Rachel’s frown deepened, her expression turning grave.


    She couldn’t help but think of Everleigh, the renowned singer from twenty years ago.


    Since the Everleigh incident, Rachel had severed all connections between Brady and the women in the entertainment industry.


    She viewed them as deceptive, ambitious individuals using their charm for personal gain.


    Rachel was determined not to let anyone entice her husband again.


    Being naturally cautious, Rachel had even ced informants around Brady.


    She would have known if something this significant had urred.


    Therefore, she felt confident that Brady wasn’t involved in the matter.


    “Domenic, your uncle’s been swamped with worktely.


    He hasn’t had time for the entertainment industry.


    It definitely wasn’t him.


    ”


    “I’m d to hear that.


    You’re my aunt, after all.


    If he ever treats you poorly, you can count on my support.


    ” Although Domenic’s words were pleasant to hear, his voice was cold and alienated.
