Unloved Unwanted Unstoppable (Seraphina and Dominic) novel Chapter 248

But the call wouldn't connect.

Could something have gone wrong?

Panic began to set in. She rushed out the door to go find Dominic, only to be stopped at the entrance of the estate.

The security guard informed her that Mr. Lockwood had given strict orders to deny entry to everyone.

Cynthia couldn't believe it. Dominic had never shut her out like this before.

Staring at the tightly shut gates, her eyes turned ruthless. She couldn't just sit around waiting; she needed to take defensive measures...

This time, no matter what, she was not giving up on Dominic.

She started her car and drove away from the villa complex.

Meanwhile, Dominic sat at his desk in the study, his face grim and icy.

He had barely slept a wink over the last two days.

Seraphina's words and the documents she had provided echoed on an endless loop in his mind...

At that moment, his subordinate entered and placed the verification report on his desk.

He informed Dominic that...

Everything in the documents Seraphina provided was absolutely true.

The reason Winifred had orchestrated the trap was because she had accidentally discovered Seraphina was actually "Prima," the highly acclaimed jewelry designer.

At the time, the Lockwood Jewelry division was on the verge of bankruptcy. Without an immediate injection of fresh, blockbuster products, the entire Lockwood Group would have been dragged down with it.

To save the company, Winifred didn't approach Seraphina to negotiate a legitimate business partnership. Instead, she set a trap to force her into Dominic's bed.

Overwhelmed by shame after the incident, Seraphina desperately tried to make amends by offering her design drafts, which ultimately saved Lockwood's.

After that, Winifred continuously suppressed and degraded her, intentionally breaking down her self-esteem so that Seraphina would feel perpetually guilty and unconditionally serve the Lockwood family.

As for why Cynthia also helped push Seraphina into Dominic's bed, it was because she had already secured a spot to study abroad.

The investigator also found that Cynthia had bought that prestigious spot using the endless funds Dominic had showered her with back then.

When Lockwood's was facing bankruptcy, Dominic had once asked Cynthia for temporary financial help to cover some gaps.

"Don't you dare use him against me! I am his mother! Do I need his permission to enter my own son's room?!"

Dominic's brow twitched, and he turned around.

The door was shoved open violently from the outside.

Winifred's face was livid as she aggressively stormed into the room.

Yvette followed closely behind her.

Winifred had been trapped at The Fernwood Estate and couldn't leave, so she had called Yvette. Yvette had rushed over to release her mother, and the two of them had immediately charged over here.

The maid wrung her hands in panic. "Mr. Lockwood, we couldn't stop them..."

Dominic raised a hand, signaling for them to leave.

The servants quickly retreated.

Winifred exploded. "Dominic! How many days have you locked me in The Fernwood Estate? When exactly are you going to let me out! I can't take this anymore!"
