After breakfast, Dominic said goodbye to Harold and drove back to Skyline City.

Isabella settled into the passenger seat and glanced at him. “How are you planning to deal with Lydia?”

Dominic kept his eyes on the road. “It’s none of your business.”

Isabella pouted. She had grown used to his cool tone, so she continued anyway. “Honey, Lydia wouldn’t have dared pull something like this on her own. Zachary must be involved. But last time, you told me not to cause trouble for them, so I figured you already knew.”

Dominic remained silent.

She pressed, “Now that Grandpa’s identity is public, no one dares lay a hand on you. But if you want to move against them, it won’t be easy.”

She studied him, her expression turning serious. “So let me handle it. If they’re trying to hurt you, I won’t allow it. I promise I’ll take care of everything. Whether it’s Lydia or Zachary, they’ll pay the highest price.”

A dull ache formed behind Dominic’s temples. ‘Stubborn as ever. I’ve warned you countless times, and you still want to go after them…‘

He exhaled slowly. “I already have plans for Lydia and Zachary. If you really want to help, then don’t do anything. Just wait for the results.”

Isabella blinked up at him. “Honey, you really have a plan?”

Dominic gave a silent nod.

“And it has nothing to do with the Garcias?”

“Nothing to do with them,” he replied, impatience creeping into his voice.

“What about the Hales? Don’t drag her into this. It wouldn’t be good to owe them a favor.”

“Isabella, can you stop?” Dominic snapped. “You just keep asking and asking. My head’s about to explode.”

She stuck out her tongue and grinned. “Looks like it’s nothing serious then. Fine, honey. I’ll listen to you and wait.”

Dominic did not respond.

Back in Skyline City, Dominic drove Isabella straight to her office. Then he took Lilith to school,

When they arrived at Blossom Elementary, several teachers brightened at the sight of him. As he completed the enrollment paperwork, the principal hurried over, gripped Dominic’s hand firmly,

and refused to let go.

Dominic returned the courtesy with polite restraint, but the principal insisted on waiving Lilith’s tuition, not just for a semester, but for all her elementary school years.

Blossom Elementary was a top–tier private school in Skyline City, with annual tuition in the tens of thousands of dollars.

Dominic declined at first, saying it was unnecessary.

The principal would not relent. He insisted that having the descendant of a war legend enrolled at their

school was an honor.

In the end, Dominic had no choice but to accept. He even posed for a commemorative photo with them.

Lilith beamed, chin lifted high as she walked beside him, pride shining in her eyes.

After leaving the school, Dominic hesitated at an intersection. Then he set his jaw and turned the wheel toward Riverside Residence.

Some matters could not be avoided forever.

When he reached Katherine’s door, his heart began to pound. An inexplicable tension tightened his chest.

He pictured her flawless cheeks, drew a steadying breath, and pressed the doorbell.

“Who is it?” Katherine called from inside.

“It’s me,” Dominic answered quietly.

A loud clang sounded from within, as if something had fallen.

Katherine’s flustered voice followed. “Dominic… do you need something?”

“I have something to say to you.”

Silence lingered on the other side of the door.

At last, Katherine opened it.

She kept her gaze lowered, avoiding his eyes. “You can say it here.”

Dominic stepped past her without waiting for permission and closed the door behind him.
