Chapter 457
Back then…
Besides Isabella’s own insistence, Leticia also rose to her feet.
She stepped in front of Isabella and declared with authority, “My granddaughter decides what happens with her child. If anyone else dares argue, try me.”
The room fell silent at once. Not one of the dozen or so people present dared speak.
Even his father–in–law, James, did not dare oppose Leticia.
Dominic had secured his place at the head of the Sinclairs‘ table only because Leticia had spoken on his behalf.
Later, when Yvonne tried to stir trouble and secretly arranged for someone to castrate Dominic, she gravely underestimated him.
The men she sent not only failed to restrain him, but he even captured one of them alive.
When Isabella interrogated the captive and learned that Yvonne was behind it, she went berserk, grabbed a knife, and tried to kill her on the spot.
James stopped her in time. Yvonne survived but suffered several stab wounds and was rushed to the ICU.
When she was discharged, no punishment from the Sinclairs awaited Isabella. Instead, Leticia forced Yvonne to kneel and admit her mistakes.
Even then, James had to plead for her and promise she would never do it again. Otherwise, Leticia would have ensured she never returned home.
As these memories ran through his mind, Dominic’s tone softened. “There are still things to handle these days. Let’s wait until December. Then we’ll go to Eastmere to see Grandma.”
At this, Isabella was overjoyed. “Honey, that sounds perfect! I’ll tell her later!”
Dominic nodded. “Mm. I’ll hang up now.”
“Wait!”
“What is it?”
“Well…” Isabella said cautiously, “Honey, you’ve had me blocked on WhatsApp for so many days. Can you unblock me?”
Dominic frowned, gave no answer, and hung up.
Hearing the busy tone, Isabella pouted in disappointment.

After a while, she opened WhatsApp again, tapped the pinned chat, and stared blankly.
The messages were densely stacked:
[Honey, what are you doing?]
[Honey, are you asleep yet?]
[Honey, I miss you so much!]
[Honey, I want to sleep with you!]
Each showed only a single gray tick.
A trace of grievance crossed Isabella’s face.
She stared at the screen for a long time, then sighed and sent another message.
Isabella: [Honey, your wife wants it, you irresponsible jerk!]
But when she sent it, no familiar single gray tick appeared.
Isabella froze and rubbed her eyes hard.
Then her phone chimed.
A message came through.
Dominic: [Crazy.]
Isabella instantly realized she had been unblocked.
A silly, delighted grin spread across her face. She grabbed the phone and began firing off messages in excitement.
No reply came from the other side. Even so, Isabella was ecstatic. She even called in her assistant and decided to give every employee a 150–dollar bonus this month. For no reason at all, except that she was happy today.
After replying, Dominic muted Isabella’s chat.
Then he opened Katherine’s.
The moment it opened, he saw: *Katherine is typing…*
‘So fast…‘ Dominic smiled faintly and began chatting.
As expected, Katherine replied at once.
They quickly fell into a lively exchange.
Then a video call popped up. It was Jessica.
Dominic’s smile stiffened the instant he saw her.
What was meant to happen had happened. Now that his relationship with Katherine was confirmed, he could no longer cross that line with Jessica.
A trace of guilt crossed Dominic’s face.
