Chapter 47
Dominick’s expression was icy as if Jessica’s words had nothing to do with hint.
The confidence in Jessica’s eyes faded a bit, and she looked at him, pretending to be calm but feeling unsettled.
“Stop pretending. I know you care about the Sinclair Group. You won’t just sit back and watch both the Sinclair Group and the Moore Group go bankrupt!”
It was unclear whether she was trying to threaten Dominick or reassure herself. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Henry, throw her out.”
Dominick didn’t even give Jessica another glance as he spoke coldly.
“Yes.” Henry nodded slightly.
Jessica panicked.
“Dominick, are you sure? I won’t go easy! I will really expose what I have! Don’t blame me for taking down the Sinclair family with me
As Henry dragged her away, Jessica continued to plead for a chance.
But it was as if Dominick didn’t hear her at all, showing no reaction, his demeanor as indifferent as if she were a stranger.
“Dominick! I hate you! I will never forgive you, and you’ll regret this! You’ll regret treating me this way!”
Jessica’s screaming voice came from outside, desperate and crazy.
Dominick showed a complex expression.
Their relationship, once good, had deteriorated to this point, which was somewhat laughable.
Her glaring and threats were both pitiable and detestable.
“Who would have thought the once glorious and esteemed Ms. Moore would end up like this.
Heather sounded somewhat sentimental. “One can never fully understand a person just by their appearance.”
Dominick, unwilling to discuss Jessica any further, changed the subject. “Can you tell me more about Lola’s condition?”
When Heather heard this, her expression darkened, and she spoke gravely. “The situation isn’t too good.
“It’s been two years,

and my t
treatment hasn’t worked at all. She’s still on the brink of danger. For now, all I can do is use hypnosis to stabilize her
“I don’t know when this method will fail, and I’m trying to find other treatments, but so far, there’s been no breakthrough.”
Heather sighed, “A few days ago, she was triggered again, and I heard her condition has shown new symptoms. It’s dangerous for her to retreat into her own world. A careless moment could lead her into a coma.”
Dominick’s brow furrowed, his hand tightening slightly on the table. “She can’t suffer any more stress.”
He wanted to find her and use every means at His disposal to protect and care for Lola.
But he was a stress for Lola, and appearing before her would only worsen hercondition.
Outside, the weather suddenly turned gloomy and windy.
[Shocking news! The Moore Group, with a century–old foundation and decades of glory, announced bankruptcy today! It’s said that mismanagement by the Moore family led to this outcome. Such a pity!]
[The Moore family is in complete disarray, and even more, Jessica was involved in a car accident on the overpass! Her life hangs in the balance
The TV looped news of the once prestigious Moore family’s current plight and the car accident
Dominick’s brow furrowed slightly. Jessica was there just half an hour ago, and now a car accident on the overpass… He thought, could it have happened on her way back from there?
“Mr. Sinclair…this…” Henry looked at Dominick with a complex expression.
Having been by Dominick’s side for a long time, he understood his every glance and gesture.
But now, even he couldn’t discern Dominick’s feelings.
Dominick’s flawless face remained expressionless, his gaze deep, before he finally looked up to speak.
“Find out what’s happened to Jessica.”
No matter what was going on between the Moore family and Jessica, he had decided not to help anymore.
But Jessica had left his place, and it was after that shock that she had a car accident.
Half an hour later, Henry entered the room with a complex expression.
He hesitated. His lips moved, but he made no sound.
Dominick saw Henry’s hesitation and frowned, “Just say it”
“Mr. Sinclair.. Ms. Moore… She’s dead!”
‘Dead?‘
Dominick stunned.
The word
rd “dead” seemed distant, especially for Jessica, a woman known for her schemes.
But the reality was that Jessica was gone. The one who had deceived him, causing the loss of his child and Lola’s current state, was dead.
Dominick thought he should be happy.
Yet, at that moment, he was filled with reflection. He thought maybe, before meeting him, Jessica could have lived a peaceful life as the Moore family’s
heiress.
Once people harbored desires, they were driven by them. Some could control their desires and their actions, but others couldn’t.
He felt perhaps this was the best outcome for Jessica.
He thought no wonder the wind was blowing so hard today. Something was bound to be swept away.
“Dead?”
Lola’s calm look finally showed a hint of surprise. Her feelings were complicated, but one thing was certain. There was no triumph or joy,
“Yes, dead. Apparently there was a car accident, and her car fell off an overpass,” Ethan said as he hurriedly drank a glass of water
was
“This is her karma. What goes around comes around. It’s only a matter of time.
“The Moore family declared bankruptcy today. They’re completely done for now.”
Lola didn’t seem excited by the news, just contemplative.
People who did bad things would eventually face consequences.
The proud Jessica left the world in such an undignified way.
“Layla, what’s wrong? The person who bullied you got what they deserved. You should be happy,” Ethan said, gently patting her shoulder.
Lola shook her head. “It’s nothing, Ethan. I’m hungry.”
Ethan looked at her affectionately. “Alright, I’ll go get you something Just wait for me at home, okay?”
Lola nodded obediently. “Okay.”
Outside, the wind was strong. As Ethan waited in the car for the food, he idly checked Twitter.
Suddenly, a strangely titled trending topic caught his attention, Hesitantly, he clicked on it, and his face instantly darkened!
The video showed a girl being forcefully held down by several men, her clothes torn. The men, naked, were kissing her neck, which was utterly disgusting.
Even though the girl’s face wasn’t very clear, Ethan recognized that it was Lola
His hand trembled as he held the phone, his complexion drained of color. He drove back home as fast as he could!
When he arrived, another car stopped behind his car
A tall figure rushed out, asking frantically, “Where’s Lola?”
Dominick had seen the video too. His concern for Lola overshadowed his immense anger, so his first instinct was to find her.
by a word but rushed into the villa.
With a grave expression, Ethan didn’t say
Inside Lola’s room, broken glass was everywhere, some pieces stained with glaring red.
But Lola was gone…
