Chapter 498

1 like you.” Lydia’s lingering voice echoed in the air, yet the passenger seat before him was already empty, the flash of red gone

Even if their connection had only been a relationship of convenience, even if she had once framed him, Dominic still felt a faint sense of loss at that moment

He stared at the empty seat for a long time before a relieved smile finally touched his lips.

Just as he prepared to step out of the car, a familiar force surged through his body, coursing through his

limbs and bones.

Dominic froze in slight surprise. He had assumed that this time he had merely used Lydia rather than truly helping her fulfill her obsession. He had not expected to receive karmic merit in return.

When he thought back to how Lydia had not disappeared when Zachary died, but had vanished only now, understanding dawned in his mind.

With that realization, he took out his phone and opened Lydia’s Instagram account.

Her final post before her death was a side–profile selfie.

[I really hope I can truly be happy!

Dominic tapped the like button beneath the post and left a comment.

[Hope you’ll be happy in your next life. Don’t meet the wrong person again. May your love be mutual, and may you find the home you long for.]

He left the blessing, though Lydia would never see it.

Afterward, Dominic went upstairs to the company.

As soon as he entered the office, Jewel rushed in anxiously.

Dominic asked, “Hey, what’s wrong? Why are you in such a paníc?”

Jewel’s face was slightly flushed, excitement mixed with nervousness. She closed the office door, lowered her voice, and said, “Dominic, we’re rich!”

Dominic smiled, “What’s there to be so excited about?”

“Listen to me!” Jewel walked closer and lowered her voice in a conspiratorial tone. “This morning the company received a transfer, Guess how much.”

Dominic already had a rough idea and smiled. “Stop keeping me in suspense. Just tell me.”

Jewel could hardly contain her excitement. “400,000,000! I’ve never seen that much money in my life. You’ve really struck it rich!”

Early that morning, the Pierces had tried countless methods before finally scraping together the 400,000,000 dollars. They transferred it to JewelMed immediately.

Clearly, that little pervert’s intimidation had been too effective, especially her final threat. Did they want 400,000,000 dollars, or did they want the Pierces to go bankrupt?

She had pushed the Pierces straight to the brink.

Jewel sighed. “Still, the Pierces are pretty trustworthy. That’s a huge sum, and they handed it over without hesitation. But why aren’t you excited? This is all your money!”

Dominic lit a cigarette and spoke calmly. “For the Pierces to reach their level of wealth and status, they must have both means and courage. More importantly, they have foresight. Someone capable of building a company to that level would never place the future on luck alone. As for why I’m not excited….”

He paused, then sighed. “Everything has a price. This 400,000,000 dollars won’t be easy to keep.”

Jewel froze, and her expression immediately turned serious. “Dominic… you mean the Hales?”

Dominic nodded.

In truth, the Pierces had paid the 400,000,000 dollars not because of Dominic himself, but because he had borrowed the Hales‘ influence. When one borrowed influence, they’d eventually have to repay it.
