NovelOnlineChapter 374 "What are you thinking about?" "Nothing!" Like he'd tell the truth if she asked. Men, those shameless creatures, never admitted to that kind of thing. Vespera stomped a few steps toward the door, fuming. But she couldn't hold back, she spun around again. "Can't you at least lock the damn door? Don't you know men need to protect themselves, too? I saw this post online that shot guy didn't lock his door and ended up getting assaulted by this greasy old man. Guys like you are especially high-risk!" Dominic didn't respond.
He just stared at her for a few seconds, then loosened his tie again with his fingers. "Fine, chere. You do it. Ccheck for yourself." Vespera huffed.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
She rushed over, quickly fixed his tie properly, and then opened it.
By the tthe senior executives walked in, Dominic was already seated behind his desk, looking composed and completely serious.

Dominic, meanwhile, returned to the Reid residence.
Just as he parked, Nancy's car pulled in beside his.
"Dominic, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted like that at lunch. Please don't kickout," she said, stepping out of the car and reaching for his arm.

Before arriving, he'd called ahead to say he'd be hfor dinner. Fawn had sounded anxious on the phone.
Clearly, her precious goddaughter had already filled her in on what happened.
Now, with Dominic and Nancy walking in one after the other, Fawn's heart started to pound.
She had told Nancy not to rush things, but of course, she didn't listen.
Samuel, on the other hand, still wore that calm, unbothered expression, smiling faintly as he tried to soothe Fawn's nerves.
"So, how cyou two cback together?" Fawn asked, forcing a light tone as she watched them enter side by side.
Dominic pulled out a chair and sat down.
Nancy sat too, her face pale as a sheet.

Samuel had considered smoothing things over with a few words, but the moment he saw Dominic's face, frozen like a glacier, he dropped the idea.

The room's atmosphere plummeted to freezing.
"Mom," Dominic finally spoke.

"Whether she bothered Vespera or not isn't the point right now. Shen bothered me, Dominic said flatly. He turned to Nancy. "Wantto get into details?" Nancy's face flushed bright red.
Dominic looked back at Fawn.
"Messing withand upsetting my girlfriend still counts as Don't think switching tactics any better.
"So, now there are two choices, either Nancy leaves Halewick, or... I bring Vespera home, and you can help settle her nerves." All three at the table whipped their heads toward him, stunned.
