Dominic showed no leniency, considering the threat to Kathy's reputation. Realizing that any explanation now would fall short, he opted for silence and showed respect instead.

"I'm here to support you in any way I can. Just let me know what you need," he offered.

Meeting his gaze, Kathy, who had once been moved by his eyes, now smiled coldly. "If I were to utilize your connections, wouldn't that imply my involvement as the third party?"

After Kathy's departure and the subsequent hit to her reputation, Harvard Group's performance took a nosedive, teetering on the edge of bankruptcy each day. Without Xavier's repeated assurances to Mr. Wade that a replacement for Kathy would be found, this quarter's investment would not have been secured. Xavier himself would have faced bankruptcy and ridicule in the business world.

He was reluctant to acknowledge that his years of accomplishments were all thanks to Kathy, nor did he want to concede that he couldn't stand on his own without her support.

    The journalist holding the listening device questioned, “What are they discussing? We can't make out a single word,' his face displaying a mix of frustration and intrigue, almost as if he wished he could shrink in size to eavesdrop. On the other hand, the second journalist, casting a disdainful glance at Kathy, shrugged off the lack of clarity.“It's not crucial that we hear every detail. What matters is that the two of them are sharing a meal. My hunch is they're engaged in an affair. It seems like Kathy couldn't handle things on her own and is turning to Nathan for help.”Already concocting a gripping story in his mind, he eagerly awaited the opportunity to transcribe it in his notebook. As the journalist with the listening device observed Nathan and Kathy contemplatively, his journalistic intuition hinted that the situation was more intricate than it appeared and that Kathy did not fit the stereotypical image he had in mind."Suddenly, he noticed the door of the private room swing

    Indeed, Kathy's decision to dine at the Zenith restaurant with Dominic and Mr. Nathan was a strategic move aligned with her overarching objective: to refute Carissa's claims to the media and the public. She intended to adopt a passive stance and draw others in to discover the truth. Only by doing so could she distance herself from the tumultuous chain of events and compose an authentic report."Thank you for placing your trust in me. I am open to participating in your interview. I trust that our CEO will also be willing to engage in the interview, correct, Mr. Dominic?" Kathy inquired, tilting her head and fixing Dominic with a gaze brimming with resolute resolve."Alright."Not only did Kathy consent to the interview request, but Dominic also acquiesced, much to everyone's delight!Ross took out his recording pen and proceeded to pose the questions he had prepared one by one."Miss Kathy, do you acknowledge being in a romantic relationship with Mr. Dominic?"Kathy fell silent.

    Dominic wore a puzzled expression and stayed silent, anticipating Kathy's continuation."You still harbor feelings for Carissa, and your anger towards her is fueled by feeling abandoned. The more you loved her in the past, the more you now hate her since her return," Kathy observed.Dominic started to speak up, but Kathy silenced him with a shake of her head. "You don't need to argue with me. As an outsider, I can see what you might not. Every time you got drunk at the bar or Zenith, you would call out Carissa's name."Dominic was shocked to realize that Kathy had been aware all along."Don't give me that look. I'm the one who got caught up in your situation with her. I don't want to use your connections to get back at her because I believe I can handle her childish tactics on my own," Kathy stated.Having weathered numerous challenges in her past, Kathy had witnessed both the cruelty and kindness of the world and navigated through significant events. Carissa's maneuvers held little w

    To the astute observer, it was evident that Carissa had instigated the entire situation. However, without Kathy's relentless prodding of her well-educated and level-headed niece, would Carissa have resorted to such actions?As a result, Carissa had now become the subject of mockery throughout the city.

Remember to take care of yourself."Seeing Brett's enthusiastic agreement and unwavering commitment, Carissa felt reassured.Her uncle, the premier private investigator in the city, pledged his support, ensuring that none of Kathy's hidden truths would remain concealed.

    "Abigail!" Kathy exclaimed, struggling for breath as she wrapped her tightly in an embrace. "Please loosen your hold a bit, I can't breathe!" Shortly after Abigail's shout, Kathy found herself weighed down on her neck, making it difficult for her to catch her breath."Kathy, my dear, I'm sorry. I was just so thrilled!" Abigail gazed at Kathy, who was glowing with radiance, her emotions running high enough to bring tears to her eyes.Amused by the situation, Kathy quickly retrieved some papers from her bag and handed them to Abigail. "You're an adult now and have been through so many significant events with me. Why do you still act like a child?"Before Abigail could respond, Bridgette and others suddenly appeared, surrounding Kathy and inquiring about her well-being.The remarkable spectacle near the elevator attracted the attention of many passersby."Alright, let's head back to the office and have a discussion.

    Carissa shook her head, then nodded, leaving Brett puzzled. "Can't you confide in me about anything?" he asked.After crying for a while, Carissa eventually composed herself, wiping away her tears and clearing her nose."Since that incident, my colleagues at work have been making things difficult for me. They talk behind my back and spread rumors about me!" she complained bitterly. Having always been a confident advocate for others since her youth, Carissa now found herself the subject of gossip and schemes. It was no wonder she felt so distressed and on the brink of breaking down.Brett empathized with his niece and handed her some tissues to dry her tears. "Would you like me to step in and set them straight?" he offered.Carissa immediately shook her head. "No, it's not necessary. They're just talking. Uncle, you are so capable; there's no need to get involved. Besides, if you were to confront them and they ended up resigning, wouldn't it be a significant loss for the company?"

    Upon noticing the shift in Xavier's demeanor, Alexia let out a sigh of relief and moved closer to him, wrapping her arm around his waist and leaning on him tenderly like a cat. "Xavier, why is she here? I'm so scared," she whispered. Alexia's vulnerable appearance immediately triggered Xavier's protective instincts. "Don't worry, I'm here for you. She's just a woman, she can't harm us." he embraced her. Witnessing this display, Carissa stifled an eye roll, baffled by Kathy's apparent lack of discernment. She found herself in a complex emotional state."Mr. Harvard, although we are yet to be acquainted, that will change soon. I have made a reservation for three at Downtown Bistro. How about we have a conversation over dinner?"At the mention of Downtown Bistro, Alexia's heart skipped a beat.Xavier scrutinized Carissa intently for a moment before smirking.

    Xavier sliced a portion of grilled salmon and savored it slowly while observing Carissa's reaction. "Miss Carissa, you mentioned earlier that you invited me to dinner to acquaint myself with this promising young talent. However, your demeanor seemed to freeze as soon as I uttered some words. Is there something amiss?"Carissa discerned the sarcasm in Xavier's grin. Despite his company teetering on the edge of collapse, Xavier was intent on showcasing himself.Briefly, Carissa contemplated leaving by grabbing her bag. Dining with Xavier seemed to compromise her principles! Nevertheless, recalling Kathy's previous admiration for Xavier, she contained her vexation and took a deep breath. Calmly, she gazed at Xavier and smirked. "Could you elaborate on that?"Shrugging nonchalantly and arching his eyebrows, Xavier believed he was maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor. "There's no particular reason. After all, Kathy was once my colleague. Though she may have wronged me, I cannot reciprocat

    "I have no idea. Oh, by the way, I saw you at the Spring Festival Gala earlier," Kathy said, trying to please him. Dominic's face turned as dark as ink on the side."I've been to the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years," he said."I know!" Wilson's heart skipped a beat, his tone filled with excitement and joy that he tried to hide.Knowing that it was impossible between him and Kathy, and knowing that she had no interest in him, Wilson's heart still couldn't help but be stirred by her words."Didn't you mention it in your interview today?" Kathy asked."You watched my interview too?" Wilson couldn't help but laugh."They didn't change the channel all day," Dominic's cold voice came from beside Kathy, and then a handsome face that looked a lot like Wilson's was pressed against Kathy's cheek.This scene made Wilson's heart ache.Wilson forced a smile.

    "Auntie, don't worry, he won't dare to sue you." After making the phone call, Dominic walked into the living room, washed his hands in the kitchen, and then sat down at the table, picking up a piece of dough that had already been rolled out into a dumpling skin."Are you not going to wrap them?" Dominic noticed that he was the only one in the family with a relaxed expression, and curiously looked at the Thompson family's parents and Kathy.Kathy saw Dominic's relaxed expression and knew that he must have resolved the issue. "Will it cause any trouble for Wilson?""Are you worried about him?" Dominic instantly regretted calling Wilson.He thought that he could reassure the Thompson family's parents and make Kathy feel at ease, but this girl was worried about whether it would cause trouble for Wilson."No." Although Dominic repeatedly assured them that Wilson would not sue the Thompson family's parents over such a minor matter, Esme and Thompson's brows remained furrowed all night.Th

    "Hey, I know, I know, we can't just blurt it out like this. What if we attract some paparazzi?" Naomi was about to leave when she caught sight of the big TV hanging on the wall of the Thompson family living room. She immediately pointed at the TV and exclaimed, "Isn't that him! The big star!"Now, everyone in the room looked at the TV, their eyes filled with curiosity.CL TV was playing an interview video of Wilson."This is already the third time that Wilson has been invited by the Spring Festival Gala program group. Do you have anything to say to the audience friends in front of the TV?"Wilson smiled gracefully, suppressing the kind of unruly air he had when he was with Kathy and others in private. "I hope this year's Wilson won't disappoint the audience friends and the Spring Festival Gala program group who invited me. I will work hard."As he spoke, Wilson even bowed to the camera, showing his politeness. His whole body exuded the aura of a noble young master, making people feel

    Kathy didn't expect this, "You, you've been sleeping for so many days, how did you suddenly...""To be honest, I haven't been sleeping well these past few nights. When you were sleeping, you really liked to move around..." Dominic hadn't finished speaking when Kathy felt her legs go numb and she unconsciously moved them.The quietness in the air was the most frightening.Kathy's mind went blank.It seemed like she accidentally touched something hard— His manhood! "What are you moving for!" Dominic tightly controlled Kathy's struggling wrist, "Don't move, I'll go take a cold shower."Kathy, embarrassed, timidly looked at Dominic and nodded, "Okay, you can go."Dominic was choked by her words and couldn't catch his breath for a while, but eventually he bent down.Kathy quickly turned her head, revealing her long and white neck."Ah!"

    Kathy couldn't understand why Dominic was laughing so brightly at such a dangerous moment when they almost hit a dog. "Kathy, why do you look so pale?" Dominic turned his head and saw Kathy's worried face, as if she had just survived a disaster. Did what he said just now make her uncomfortable? Dominic was anxious and didn't know what was going on. "Kathy, if you mind, I won't say such things next time. Let's wait until we get married..." Dominic said. "Didn't you see the dog on the side of the road just now?" Kathy turned her head and looked at Dominic with an unkind expression. "I avoided it, didn't I?" Dominic felt wronged. Wasn't Kathy worried about the dog just now? "But why did you laugh so loudly after avoiding it? What if you hit it?" Kathy gave Dominic a white eye and turned her head to look out the window, giving Dominic a big slap on the back of his head. For no reason, Dominic smiled again with his mouth open. "Kathy, I'm really happy!" Kathy really didn't know what w

    Dominic felt that at this moment, Kathy was emitting an indescribable radiance. A long time ago, he fell in love with Kathy. Now, he was having difficulty breathing, and Kathy had become the only tenderness and light he longed for in this world.Thompson and Esme never doubted their daughter's abilities. Since childhood, Kathy has always been the most outstanding one. No matter how difficult things were, as long as Kathy said she could do it, even if it meant risking her life, she would do it.

    "Mom, Dad, this is one of his business bank accounts, and it's also his account with the least amount of money." Thompson and Esme looked at it and were scared by the long string of numbers. Thompson took the phone from his daughter's hand in disbelief, stared at the string of numbers with wide eyes, and muttered to himself. "Have you counted it? How many digits is it?" "It seems to be nine digits..." "What do you mean 'seems to be'? How many digits exactly?" "Ten digits." Esme almost stumbled and couldn't stand firm. Thompson held her up and said, "Don't worry, my dear." "Oh my god, ten digits, tens of billions..." This is not even how it's portrayed in TV dramas. In an instant, Thompson and Esme panicked.

    "Ah! Bus route 3! Quick!" Thompson turned his gaze away from the double doors of the restroom and saw the bus approaching in the distance.

    The family overcame many obstacles and finally arrived at the place where Thompson often bought clothes. The shop owner saw Thompson and immediately waved, "You're here again today?" "Yes, I'm here to buy some clothes for my son-in-law for the New Year! See if you have anything that fits him well, price is not a problem!" The shop owner was happy to hear this. In the past, Thompson always bargained hard and the shop owner didn't make much profit from selling him clothes. But today, Thompson couldn't lose face in front of his son-in-law, so he wouldn't bargain, which meant the shop owner could make a lot of money. When the shop owner saw Dominic, his eyes lit up. "Is your son-in-law a model? He's so handsome!" Thompson was quite proud when he heard this. "He's not a model, he's a CEO!" Esme couldn't help but poke Thompson twice and whispered, "Don't show off your wealth. Do you still want to bargain?"Thompson immediately realized his mistake and chuckled, "I was just kidding, he
