Chapter 261 This Is Just the Beginning

Fortunately, he had everything else sealed up tight.

So what if Jolene had stepped in?

Thomas was confident that his plan would still succeed–flawlessly. No one could stop it.

“If you know what’s good for you, you’ll stop now,” Thomas said coldly, his tone laced with warning and threat.

“And what if I don’t?” Jean tilted her head, smiling.

Thomas’s face darkened further. “Then you can deal with the consequences yourself.”

Jean sneered without backing down. “Wow. Didn’t you used to suck up to my brother? And now you’re threatening me like this? What, you don’t care about my brother anymore?”

It was true–Thomas had gone out of his way to cozy up to Dominic before. The Ginger family’s influence far surpassed the Lawson family’s. He’d been trying to ride that wave, and for a time, he had been cautious.

But after that incident at dinner…

His relationship with Dominic had shifted in subtle but unmistakable ways.

In the adult world, words weren’t always needed. One look, one slight change in tone–everything could be clearly understood.

Dominic hadn’t publicly cut him off, but the growing distance and coldness were impossible to ignore.

Thomas knew there was no need to maintain the act anymore.

It was clear Dominic had lost patience with him.

“I don’t have to worry about that now,” Thomas said honestly, lifting his brow.

No more caution. No more pretending. No more wasting energy trying to shove his sister into someone’s

arms.

There was a flash of menace in his eyes. His voice dropped into a cold, sharp tone.

“If I actually gave a damn about Dominic…”

“…I wouldn’t have splashed you on purpose.”

Jean’s fingers curled into a tight fist.

So it was on purpose!

“You think that’s going to scare me off?” Jean sneered, lips pulling into a crooked smile full of defiance.

“This is just the beginning,” Thomas said, like a devil whispering in your ear–his voice dark and grating.

Thomas…

The Ginger family was still far more powerful than the Lawson family. Did he really not care?
