“Have you heard? The Sinclair family and the Moore family are about to unite in marriagel it’s confirmed news, and the wedding date has been sell”
“Really? Well, it isn’t the first time Jessica marrying the Sinclair family’s heir, right? We really don’t understand the world of the wealthy Doesn’t it sound embarrassing to marry the Sinclair family’s heir for the second time?”
“What do you know? Mr. Sinclair has long admired Ms. Moore. It’s said he fell in love with her during their youth but restrained his feelings because of his brother. Now that there are no obstacles between them, it’s only natural for them to be together. This is a case of true lovers finally uniting”
“Then Ms. Moore’s second wedding is probably going to be a quiet affair, right? After all, this beautiful love story doesn’t seem so easily accepted by society.”
“Tsk, what are you talking about? The Sinclair family is taking this very seriously. The CEO of the Sinclair Group personally released the news. It’s clear how much importance they’re placing on this.”
“How I envy them! But we’ve got to go to work now, let’s hurry.”
As the voices faded, Lola remained lost in thought for a long time.
The coffee in her hands had gone cold, and she stirred it repeatedly without taking a sip.
When Lola regained consciousness, she found herself in a hospital, with only Ethan by her side.
She hadn’t actually expected Dominick to be there. She felt it was better he wasn’t present to spare herself the discomfort of seeing him.
Yet, what she hadn’t anticipated was that Dominick was busy getting married to Jessica during the days she was unconscious as if nothing had happened.
Lola mused, “Haven’t I gotten used to this by now?‘
Yet, for some reason, the image of Dominick’s tender gaze and his meticulous care kept surfacing in her mind. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Lola forced a smile and finished her coffee in one gulp.
It was bitter, but not as bitter as her heart.
Ethan had long noticed something was off with Lola but didn’t dare to offer comfort. Instead, he asked, “Layla, are you…okay? If you’re upset, I can speed up the process of taking down the Moore Group right now!”
She put down her coffee cup and smiled, “Of course, I’m fine. Why wouldn’t be?
“Oh, you mean about the two of them getting married? It doesn’t matter to me. Scoundrels match with each other, don’t they? Let’s just wish them well*
Even though
Lola’s beautiful eyes were sparkling, Ethan could see through her indifferent facade to the sadness within.
He looked troubled, as if there was something he wanted to say but was holding back.
After a moment, Ethan called out her name, “Layla.”
Lola kept a faint smile, asking. “What’s up, Ethan? Why are you acting so strangely?”
Ethan pressed his lips together and finally spoke up. “Actually, Dominick is not the one currently in charge of the Sinclair Group.”
Lola’s expression shifted momentarily but quickly returned to normal. “So what? It has nothing to do with me.”
While she claimed not to care, her hand repting on her lap had already crumpled the edge of her skirt.
Ethan sighed softly. He actually hadn’t intended to tell Lola, but he felt that If
truth could provide her even a moment’s comfort, it was worth sharing
He said, “I heard that Dominick has been in a coma for three days now. It’s his father who’s steering the company, and naturally, he’s the one who released the news, I’m not sure whether it is Dominick’s true intention.”
Upon hearing that, Lola’s long lashes trembled slightly, unable to pinpoint exactly how she felt,
She wondered, ‘Could a man like Dominick really fall into a coma? Was it because of something I did to him when I was crazy?
Lola vaguely remembered Dominick catching a blade with his bare hands to prevent her from hurting herself.
Her gaze then darkened as she thought, ‘What does this have to do with me? It’s nothing but the consequences of Dominick’s own actions! Whatever he’s enduring, it’s the price he ought to pay!”
Lola said, “I’m feeling a bit tired, Ethan. I’d like to rest.”
The pity in Ethan’s eyes was unmistakable as he stood up to help her leave the café.
“Ms. Moore, congratulations! I heard that your wedding date with Mr. Sinclair has been set
Meanwhile, Jessica was dressed in an expensive gown as she stood outside the Moore Group’s building. Shev creating quite a spectacle.
was surrounded by a crowd of media,
She seemed to have anticipated the media’s presence as she was dressed exquisitely, her face beaming with happiness.
Jessica replied, “Yes, thank you”
“Could you share the story between you and Mr. Sinclair? It’s been two years, any reflections on finally uniting?”
Jessica smiled gently, her demeanor exuding elegance, “Of course.
“Dom has been incredibly supportive these past two years. His companionship has been very important to me, helping me step out of the shadows. I’m very grateful to him.
“Now that we’re about to get married, it’s only natural. After spending so much time together, no one is more suitable for Dominick than I am
Meanwhile, the TV screen paused in this scene as Dominick irritably tossed aside the remote.
Henry sensed Dominick’s displeasure and cautiously asked, “Mr. Sinclair, this news was initially released by Mr. Quentin Sinclair, and now Ms. Moore has publicly acknowledged it. What should we do?”
Dominick looked displeased. He had regained consciousness that morning.
Upon waking up, he wore a cold expression and remained silent because of a dream he had.
When Dominick saw Jessica’s interview video, his expression turned even more grim.
He asked, “How’s the investigation on Brenda and Jessica going?”
y hesitated before responding, “There’s still no progress. I’m sorry, Mr. Sinclair.”
Henry
Dominick pondered, ‘As expected. If someone is intentionally hiding something, it won’t be easy to uncover‘
Henry’s expression turned serious as he spoke. “However, I did notice something strange.”
Dominick looked up at Henry and signaled him to continue.
Chapter 36
Henry continued, “Although Mrs. Sinclair’s Horizon Group is powerful, the company has only just been established. The Moore family might not be as prominent as the Sinclair family, but it has a century old foundation. How could it nearly go banknipt in just a few days?”
This was also a doubt in Dominick’s mind.
Dominick thought, ‘I sensed something was off the moment the Moore family couldn’t resist approaching the Sinclair family for a marriage alliance. I had already invested funds into the Moore Group. So, how could the company be struggling so soon? It’s absolutely impossible with juice Horizon Group’s attack unless…someone is stirring the pot from behind the scenes, Il Lola has someone backing her, there would be no need for sucli covert manipulations. This situation is far more complicated than it appears. The origin and extent of this hidden force are unknown, and any rash investigation would surely alert them. Since they’ve pushed the Horizon Group to target the Moore family, they must have anticipated the Moore family seeking help from the Sinclair family.
Since they’re so keen on our families uniting, why don’t I play into their hands and draw them out? After all, Jessica and the others have already spread the news. This presents an excellent opportunity.”
He instructed, “Send the word out, I will attend the wedding on time.”
