Carole bit her lip.


    Men had always pursued her.


    She had never been so forward with a man before.


    Yet in front of Domenic, she had set aside all her dignity, only to be repeatedly rebuffed by him.


    “Domenic, there’s just one thing I need to ask you.


    ” Carole’s eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Domenic, her gaze drifting into the distance.


    “Do you honestly have no affection for me at all?”


    Domenic’s eyes werepletely void of any emotion as he looked at her.


    He responded without a moment’s hesitation.


    “Not even a little bit.


    ”


    Carole felt as if his words had deeply pierced her heart.


    She let out a bitterugh.


    “What about Lindsey, then? How much do you care about her?”


    Domenic gazed at her with a cold stare.


    He answered with firm decisiveness, “I am in love with her.


    ”


    Upon hearing this, Carole could no longer contain herself.


    She began tough uncontrobly, each chuckle emanating a coldness.


    “Fine, you say you love her.


    But because of me, marriage will never be in your future with her.


    I should be happy with this, shouldn’t I?”


    Caroleughed with wild abandon.


    Domenic looked icily at the nearly deranged Carole before him.


    He had never imagined that the girl who once saved him from the depths of despair would transform into this.


    A gesture of gratitude had twisted into a weapon for ckmail.


    How absurd!


    ncing at his watch, he noted it was already midnight.


    He wondered if Lindsey had gone to bed and if she would be angry that he hadn’t returned.


    Considering the pressing circumstances, he decided he would exin everything to her in the morning.

    Carole noticed Domenic’s indifference, understanding that any further actions would only increase his disgust.


    She turned away, stormed into her room, and mmed the door.


    Domenic looked up, finally allowing himself to rx as he sank into the sofa.


    Meanwhile, in the opulent suite where Jordan was staying, the butler Franklin entered with a respectful air to report.


    “It’s done.


    ”


    “Well done!” Jordan put down the magazine he was reading and removed his reading sses, and his eyes sparkled with joy.


    “Yes.


    Hendrix entered Lindsey’s room and didn’t emerge.


    Thebination of hallucinogens and aphrodisiac smoke is irresistible,”


    Franklin said with a sinister grin.


    Jordan, arms crossed over his chest, leaned back into the sofa, visibly pleased.


    “How will Domenic react tomorrow morning when he finds his trusted aide and the woman he loves in bed together?”


    Jordan couldn’t help butugh heartily at the thought.


    Franklin chuckled along, adding, “It will devastate him!”


    “Precisely! I want Domenic to abandon that woman.


    As the future leader of the Walsh Group, he can’t marry a woman who had an affair with his subordinate.


    We’ll orchestrate a grand spectacle and let everyone witness it tomorrow.


    Domenic values his reputation; he might kill her right then and there!”


    He continued, “As for Hendrix, I’ve never liked him.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    He must have known about Domenic and that woman’s rtionship but never reported it to me.


    He’s dead wood! We’ll eliminate him and ce our own people close to Domenic to keep tabs on him.
