Jessica’s expression changed as she hurried over and snapped, “Shaun, did you investigate Dominic?
Shaun waved a hand, wearing a cheerful smile. “Not really. When I visited your place last time, Ms. Lin mentioned him in passing.”
Jessica frowned. “My mom?”
Dominic paused for a moment, then spoke calmly. “It sounds like you know quite a bit about me.”
“It’s all hearsay,” Shaun replied. “I wouldn’t say I know much.”
Dominic’s gaze sharpened as he stared straight at Shaun on the screen. “Then let me ask you this. Hov much do you know about the fire at my company some time ago?”
He studied Shaun’s expression as he spoke.

behalf. I’m sorry.”
Jessica nodded with satisfaction. “That’s more like it.”
Inside, Dominic grew more guarded.
After the fire, he had carefully profiled the person behind it. Two conditions stood out.
First, the person needed a powerful background and an interest in the potential of White Cosmos No. 1.
Second, the person needed a personal grudge against him and a desire to see him dead.
Suspecting Shaun came naturally, yet Shaun’s performance just now offered no certainty. If anything, it raised even more questions. Most importantly, even after being deliberately provoked, this young man had restrained himself. That alone proved he was no fool.
In the end, five words surfaced in Dominic’s mind. ‘Not easy to deal with.‘
“I understand,” Dominic said calmly, giving a slight nod.
Rosie’s shrill voice cut in from the side. “Bro, why apologize to him? What kind of trash dares-”
Shaun sighed. “Rosie’s been spoiled since she was little. When are you coming back, Jessica? Teach her a lesson for me.”
Since the apology had already been made, Jessica’s expression softened a little. Even so, she replied, ” That’s your family’s business. What does it have to do with me?”
“Fair enough,” Shaun said with a smile as he looked at Dominic. “It’s getting late, so I won’t disturb you any longer. Oh, right, Mr. Fleming. White Cosmos No. 1 oral liquid is quite good. I even bought some myself. Maybe we can work together sometime.”
Although Dominic still harbored doubts, he chose not to expose them. “We can talk when there’s a
chance.”
“Alright,” Shaun said with a nod, then ended the video call.
Jessica immediately asked, “Dominic, do you think he’s the one who set the fire?”
Dominic did not hide his thoughts. “There’s a certain possibility.”
“Damn it!” Jessica snapped, fury flashing across her face. “If it really was him, I’ll go all out and make him pay the price.”
“Not necessarily,” Dominic said quickly. “Before everything is clear, there are too many people worth suspecting. I’ve even suspected someone who’s already dead.”
