Chapter 241
After hanging up, Dominic frowned when he learned that Jewel was coming over. That woman truly refused to give up.
Autumn could not help asking, “Dominic, what exactly happened?”
At this point, he could only recount what had occurred over the past two days.
After listening, Autumn grew angry. “How could my aunt do that? How could she say those things about you?”
Dominic responded at once. “Autumn, she is still your elder. It is natural for her to worry about you.”
From Jewel’s perspective, seeing a divorced man with a child appear beside her niece made caution understandable.
Autumn’s delicate face tightened as she spoke with quiet seriousness. “When she gets here, I am definitely going to make things clear. Dominic, you are absolutely not that kind of person. And regarding Ms. Palmer, you should decide for yourself. Do not change your decision because of me.”
Hearing her words warmed Dominic’s heart.
Not long after, Jewel entered the restaurant.
She looked worn down, yet she forced a smile and greeted them. “Autumn, Dominic.”
Autumn said sternly, “Aunt Jewel, you need to apologize to Dominic.”
Jewel had just taken her seat when she heard that. Her eyes trembled, and an indescribable sense of grievance rose in her chest.
She had already been toyed with by Dominic earlier that day, humiliated and exposed. Now she still had to apologize. Tears threatened to spill again.
Seeing her aggrieved expression, Dominic said calmly, “There’s no need to apologize. In the future, Miss Wright and I will not have any dealings anyway-”
Before he finished speaking, Jewel suddenly spoke in a trembling voice. “Sorry!”
Dominic raised an eyebrow.
“Dominic,” Jewel said again, “I apologize for what happened yesterday. I was wrong. I’m sorry.”
‘You do not know you were wrong. You just need something from me.‘ Dominic thought this, but with Autumn present, he kept it to himself.
He simply asked, “Have you eaten, Miss Wright?”
“You eat. I… already ate.”
How could Jewel eat at all? Such a huge opportunity stood right in front of her and was about to slip away. She likely would not sleep well that night,
Autumnn also remained silent and ate quietly. She was unhappy inside. She had introduced Dominte, yet her aunt had spoken about him that way and had even fired him outright. That upset Autumn deeply as well.
Dominic and Autumn ate, while Jewel walted silently to the side.
After they finished, Dominic wiped his mouth and said to Jewel, “It seems you truly want to collaborate with Ms. Palmer, Miss Wright.”
Jewel nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of pleading
Dominic considered this for a few seconds, then said, “I want 70% of JewelMed’s shares.”

Jewel’s expression changed as she jumped up and cried out, “Impossible!”
Nearby diners turned to look at her in displeasure.
Jewel forced herself to calm down, sat back down, and spoke through clenched teeth. “If you take 70%, would JewelMed still be JewelMed?”
