She Chose Him Now She Wants Me Back novel Chapter 489

Chapter 489

Autumn bit her lip and looked at Dominic, her eyes shimmering. “Dominic, in your eyes, am I really someone who can’t tell right from wrong?”

As she spoke, tears slid down her cheeks.

If Jade were not her mother, she would have done the same thing Jessica did.

Jewel curled her lips in dissatisfaction. “Dominic, what kind of thing are you saying? She made the mistake first. She deserved it! I think that slap should have come from Stephen himself to make it count. Over the next few days, the market value of the García Group will probably lose more than a billion dollars!”

When Dominic saw Autumn cry again, a sharp, inexplicable ache stirred in his chest. With Katherine present, however, he did not know how to respond.

Just then, the office door burst open.

Isabella walked in. She froze when she saw the scene inside and asked instinctively, “Hey, what are you all doing?”

Her arrival immediately drew everyone’s attention.

The receptionist hurried in behind her, panting heavily. “Mr. Fleming, Miss Wright, she rushed in… I couldn’t stop her.”

Dominic waved a hand. “It’s fine. Go back to work.”

The receptionist nodded quickly, turned, and left, closing the door behind her.

For the first time, Dominic felt that Isabella had arrived at exactly the right moment. His expression eased slightly as he asked, “What are you here for?”

Only then did Isabella remember why she had come. She hurried over and asked with concern, “I heard you were bullied today. Are you okay?”

If Jessica had received the news, Isabella naturally had as well. By the time she arrived, however, the birthday party had already ended.

He had not answered her calls, so she came to the company to look for him.

Dominic shook his head. “What could possibly happen to me?”

Only then did Isabella relax. Her gaze shifted to Autumn beside him, and her eyes turned sharp as she pressed, “Autumn, how do you still have the nerve to come here? My husband was wronged at your house. Don’t you owe me an explanation?”

Autumn wiped away her tears. She might concede to anyone else, but she would never yield in front of Isabella.

An avalanation for you? she shot back. “Why should I give you one? Who do you think you are?”

Isabella sneered, “My husband kindly went to celebrate your birthday, and your mother twisted the facts and even demanded that he pay 200,000,000 dollars. Isn’t that going too far?”

Jewel stepped forward a few paces and spoke calmly. “You just said that was her mother’s doing. What does it have to do with her

Autumn glanced back at her, gratitude flickering in her eyes.

Isabella’s voice turned cold. Then why didn’t she stand up for my husband?”

Autumn steadied herself. She might feel at a disadvantage when facing Katherine, but when she faced Isabella, the situation was completely different.

She said coolly, “At least I’m not like certain people who called their so–called sworn brother over to bully Dominic

Critical hit! Instant Kill!

Isabella froze. Her momentum collapsed, and she could not say a word.

Autumn”s mood improved immediately. So that was how it works. People fear comparison.‘

Just moments ago, Autumn had felt utterly wronged in front of Katherine. Now that someone even more aggrieved had appeared, her own grievance no longer felt as heavy.

Dominic also let out a quiet sigh of relief.

He spoke up. “It’s all in the past. Don’t bring it up again. Go take care of whatever you need to do. I still have work to handle.”
