Dominic glanced at Jewel from the corner of his eye and let out a low chuckle. “Guilt–tripping, are we?”

No amount of guilt–tripping would make him hand over a market worth more than 2 billion dollars. That much was obvious.

Jewel’s expression darkened. “Dominic, just think of it as helping me. JewelMed means too much to me.”

“You want my help just because you say so?” Dominic smiled faintly. “It matters to you, but what does that have to do with me?”

“Name your price. Anything you want, as long as you help me,” Jewel said through clenched teeth.

Working with Andriana represented the biggest opportunity of her career, and she could not afford to let it slip away.

Dominic raised an eyebrow, then turned and took a seat on the sofa.

Jewel’s face brightened. As long as he stayed, there was still room to negotiate.

Dominic lit a cigarette and let his gaze travel over her. Only then did he realize how striking she was. At 35, she had lost the freshness of youth but gained a fuller, more captivating allure. Her face was delicate, her features refined. In terms of beauty, she ranked only slightly below Isabella.

Her figure added to that appeal, especially her legs beneath her slender waist. They were not thin and rigid, but strong and well- shaped. The black stockings accentuated every line, making it difficult to look away.

Under his scrutiny, Jewel grew tense. Her voice shook. “Hey… stop staring and just tell me your conditions.”

“Undress,” Dominic said, his tone flat.

Jewel stiffened. “What?”

He smiled. “I said undress. Is that unclear?”

“You…” Her face flushed, shame and anger colliding.

Dominic shrugged. “If you cannot do that, then there is nothing left to discuss.”

He stood and moved toward the door.

“Wait!” Jewel blurted out. Her expression flickered as she struggled with herself, the weight of the decision evident.

Dominic did not rush her. He simply waited.

After a long moment, Jewel drew in a shaky breath. Her hands trembled as she removed her jacket.

“Is this… enough?”

Dominic looked unimpressed. “Playing dress–up? Keep going.”

Her body shuddered. Humiliation filled her eyes, but his calm, unwavering stare left her no escape. She continued, piece by piece, until she curled into herself on the chair, arms crossed tightly over her chest. Tears pooled in her eyes. “Is it enough now?

“I

Dominic reflected that purple really did enhance her allure. He smiled. “Enough. Put it back on. I prefer you untouchable. Take a moment to compose yourself.”

Tears spilled over as Jewel lowered her head. Burning with humiliation, she dressed herself again, one item at a time.

Once she was fully clothed, she asked quietly, “Now will you help me arrange a meeting with Ms. Palmer?”

A flicker of mockery crossed Dominic’s eyes. “When did I ever say I would?”

“You…” Jewel froze. She had not expected such blatant shamelessness.

Disbelief hardened her expression. “Are you toying with me?”
