Dominic was even sharpe than Thomas had imagined
It wasn’t surprising he had noticed Thomas’s hostility toward Jean–that had never been subtle.

But how had he figured out everything else? The calculated way Thomas had approached him, the quiet manipulation of his subordinates, even the scheme to have Selena seduce him….
How much did he actually know?
Thomas couldn’t stop replaying everything in his head combing over each move he’d made, trying to find the exact moment where he’d slipped up–where Dominic had caught on.
But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t find it.

In the end, all he could do was chalk it up to one thing: Dominic’s insight was terrifying.
“I’ve known for a long time,” Dominic said simply, barely glancing at him.
He’d known since the moment he first heard Jean’s inner thoughts.
“Is that so?” Thomas’s face twisted slightly. His lips curved into a bitter, rigid smile. “So all this time, you must’ve thought I was a complete joke.”
His feelings toward Dominic were complicated.
Yes, he’d wanted to use him. But there was a part of him that genuinely admired him, too.
Even if his intentions had never been pure, there were moments… where he had learned from Dominic. Respected him.
And now he realized Dominic had seen through him all along.
The memory of their past interactions made him feel ridiculous.
Like a clown.
“Whether or not you were a joke doesn’t matter,” Dominic said coldly. His voice was calm, but his tone carried weight. “What matters is-”
“You’re finished, Thomas.”
“Go confess. Go repent,” he added, with the unshakable authority of someone who had already won. “Getting a middle schooler to take the fall for you? You’re pathetic.”
Thomas’s eyes flickered. His fists clenched at his sides.
Suddenly, Selena tormed forward, glaring at Dominic with wide, furious eyes. “What the hell are you saying? My brother would never confess-!”
“Selena.”
Dominic narrowed his eyes and called her name–just once.

That cold, cutting tone hade her flinch.
Her face froze, and the blood drained from her checks

“Coercion. Conspiracy to kidnap. Direct involvement in a kidnapping.” Dominic’s eyes locked onto hers like ice, his words heavy and final. “You’re not getting away either.”
Selena’s eyes flew open in shock. “That’s not true! You can’t just say that–I didn’t do anything!”
“Let the police decide,” Dominic said flatly. Then he turned, walking toward Jean, who was still sitting on the ground.
He reached out a hand, long fingers extended gently.
“Come on.”
Just like that, the frost melted from his face. His voice softened, his expression warm–as if coaxing a
child.
Jean didn’t hesitate. She took his hand.
He helped her to her feet in one smooth motion.
“You’re not hurt, are you?” Dominic’s eyes swept over her from head to toe, checking her over for any injuries.
Jean shook her head, then pointed at the top of her head. “Just my scalp. It kind of hurts.”
Dominic’s eyes darkened. His lips pressed into a tight line. “Then later… you can go yank her hair too.”
“Make it even.”
Jean’s mouth twitched. She burst out laughing. “I’m not that petty or childish.”
Off to the side, Mindy and Sofia had been watching the whole exchange.
They didn’t know who Dominic was.
All they knew was that this cold, strikingly handsome man… clearly cared a lot about Jean.
