Chapter 299 Utterly Pathetic
Jean’s sudden inner monologue came through loud and clear–right into Dominic’s ears.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression unreadable.

Truth be told, the only reason he’d been able to see through the Lawson siblings so quickly was because of Jean’s strange, inexplicable ability to foresee things… and his own, equally inexplicable ability to hear her thoughts.
But what was strange was–he’d never heard anyone else’s thoughts before.
Was his ability somehow exclusive to Jean?
And Jean–his little sister–clearly had more than a few secrets tucked away. Mysterious ones. Ones that couldn’t be easily explained.
Still, Dominic had no desire to dig into it.
Jean had never done anything to hurt him. In fact, she’d helped him more than once. And more importantly–she was his family. His blood.
So no matter how strange she might be, it didn’t matter He’d already decided: he would protect her. Always.
His gaze refocused, frosted with ice as it landed on Thomas.
This guy…
After hearing Jean’s inner thoughts–and getting a few glimpses into Thomas’s actions and motives- Dominic had wasted no time launching his own quiet investigation.
Thomas thought he was clever. And to be fair, he was careful, covering his tracks well.
But in Dominic’s eyes, it was all child’s play. Laughably amateur.
He’d uncovered Thomas’s secrets without even breaking a sweat.
And yet, he hadn’t exposed him.
Hadn’t reported him.
He waited.
Dominic had wanted to see what else Thomas would try to pull.
Some games, after all, weren’t worth ending too quickly Sometimes, it was better to let the rat dig its own
grave.
But what he hadn’t expected–Was that Thomas would take things this far. That he would actually resort to
a crime.
The case involving Asher and Thomas had seemed murky to others–but Dominic had seen through it from the start.

For most people, it would’ve taken a massive investigation to get to the bottom of it.
For Dominic, it was elementary,

Still, because Jean had strongly insisted he stay out of it he’d held back–even after learning the truth.
It wasn’t just about honoring her wishes.
It was also because-
He wanted to give her a moment to shine.
Going into the trial, Jean and Asher’s reputations were in the gutter. They were at the mercy of a tidal wave of public hatred,
But Dominic had believed–no, known–that Jean would find the truth. That she would win.
And she had.
She proved to be exactly who he thought she was–a force to be reckoned with. A girl full of secrets. A girl who should never be underestimated.
He’d watched the trial livestream from beginning to end.
He’d prepared a backup plan.
If Jean failed to bring down Thomas in court, he would’ve sent his own evidence to the police immediately.
Either way, Thomas wouldn’t have escaped.
But Jean had held her own. She hadn’t needed him at all.
What Dominic hadn’t expected, however-
Was just how desperate, how irrational Thomas really was.
The moment the trial ended, this idiot had rushed out to kidnap Mindy and Jean..
Absolutely pathetic.
When Dominic received the tip, he’d rushed over as fast as possible.
Luckily, he’d made it in time.
But they had actually laid hands on Jean…
A deep, dangerous chill stirred in his eyes.
He wanted to cut off their hands.
“W–When did you find out?”
Suddenly-

Thomas’s lips moved. His voice was weak, trembling.

His face was pale as a shed. The light had gone from his eyes, and he looked like a man who’d already lost everything.
“How much do you know about me?”
