Chapter 594

“Yes, but things escalated faster than I expected, thanks to Shelia’s bold attempt to frame my girlfriend.

”

Rupert had thought he was moving stealthily, planning to surprise Domenic, but he didn’t realize Domenic had already sensed his plan and strategically cornered him first.

This revelation halted Rupert’s next action.

In frustration, Rupert punched the wall.

He realized he had been too hasty and careless in his dealings with Domenic.

“Do you really think you can keep your Rupert with Lindsey a secret from your grandfather?” Rupert challenged, still not willing to concede.

“This business is mine alone.

You needn’t worry about it.

Instead of concerning yourself with me, perhaps you should focus on your own matters.

Imagine the reaction of Grandpa and your wife if they discover your extramarital affair and the daughter you fathered outside your marriage.

Remember, Uncle Rupert, I have always been on your side, and I trust you will do the same, won’t you?”

Domenic fiddled with a pen, his voice light yet laced with an ominous undertone.

“Of course, I’ll always be on your side,” Rupert replied with a slight smile.

After a brief pause, he added, “Since we’re in this together, could you possibly go easy on Shelia this time?”

A low, magnetic chuckle escaped from Domenic’s throat.

“Are you begging me? If you’re begging me, I might think about it.

”

Rupert’s hand tightened into a fist; the sting of Domenic’s mockery was clear.

Plead with him? No way!

Domenic’s voice, deep and resonant, came through again.

“You know me.

Anyone who hurts my loved ones will face consequences, no matter who it is.

”

Domenic’s words hung in the air after he ended the call.

It appeared that he was issuing a warning to both Sheila and Rupert.

Rupert clenched his fists tightly and stared at Domenic in anger.

He also promised himself that he’d defeat Domenic and witness his downfall sooner or later.

Burning with the desire for revenge, Rupert turned on his heel and strode out of the hospital.

In the hospital ward, Xiomara turned to Lindsey with a curious look.

“Lindsey, who was that man?”

“He’s my boyfriend’s uncle,” Lindsey replied with a smile while continuing to peel an apple.

“You have a boyfriend! Really?” Xiomara’s eyes widened in surprise as if she had heard big news.

Lindsey glanced at Xiomara, her lips curling into a playful pout.

“Why? Can’t I have a boyfriend?”
