Chapter 225
Jewel had heard of Andriana’s reputation: a genius–level scientist and the youngest academician abroad. If they could cooperate with the Cosmos Laboratory, JewelMed’s future path would be fully secured.
Overwhelmed by the sudden good news, Jewel could not contain her joy. She quickly asked, “Did Ms. Palmer say when she’s coming?”
“Tomorrow!” the assistant replied.
“Great!” Jewel said, barely able to hide her excitement.
Dominic really was a jinx. She had just kicked him out, and good fortune followed immediately.
After Dominic left, he sat in the car and let out a long sigh.
Such a comfortable job was gone just like that. Now he would have to look for work again.
In truth, he no longer felt very anxious. The divorce was finalized, and he had custody of his daughter. There was also a commission of about 150,000 dollars that would be paid.
Most importantly, he still had his own special ability. That was his greatest source of confidence. Dominic considered whether he should start some kind of private office or agency.
With nothing else to do for the moment, he drove home.
Lilith was drawing, while Jessica sat beside her and occasionally offered suggestions.
It was obvious that the big kid and the little kid had made up again.
When Dominic walked in, Jessica looked surprised. “Dominic, you’re off work so early today?”
“There’s no work anymore,” Dominic said. “I got fired.”
“Fired? That’s great! Then you can stay home and keep me company!” Jessica said happily.
“What?” Dominic stared at her in silence.
“Uh…” The smile on Jessica’s face froze. In the next instant, her expression shifted, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. “What? Who had the guts to fire my Dominic? Does that company want to disappear?”
As she spoke, she picked up her phone.
Dominic said helplessly, “Please don’t do anything. Alright, alright, it’s nothing serious.”
“Hehe!” Jessica giggled, ran over, and hugged his arm. “Dominic, it’s fine if you don’t work. I’ll support you!”
Dominic felt a sudden sense of pressure from the reactive force of deformation. He calmly pulled his arm free and said, “I have hands and feet. Why would I need you to support me?”
With that, he went into the kitchen and checked the fridge.
There was not much food left. He shook his head and prepared to go out to buy groceries.
Lilith had grown bored with drawing. She picked up her phone and called Katherine. She had not been there for a few days and truly missed her aunt.
As soon as the call connected, the girl’s expression froze.

She ran over to Dominic and said, “Daddy! I called Auntie, and just now it sounded like there was a man’s voice. Then the call hung up.”
Dominic froze for a moment. His expression changed immediately. “Jessica, take care of Lily,”
After saying that, he rushed out of the apartment at full speed.
The elevator was still downstairs.
Dominic did not wait and sprinted down the stairs. Once he reached the car, he sped toward Riverside Residence.
