Chapter 143
“But…weren’t they at each other’s throats? And didn’t their collaboration fall apart? There’s no way Layla would run off with Dominick.
“Ethan, I’ve gotta run. Give me a shout if you need anything. Jenna hurriedly left the office.
Ethan gave Brian a look, and Brian understood, quietly slipping out.
“Mr. Lewis, do you suspect her? Eric also sensed something was off.
“I don’t have anything solid yet. Get some guys over to Enchanted Eden. Since the surveillance cut out there and there’s no footage of anyone leaving, we might find something there.”
“Got it!”
“Someone’s coming, lie down quickly.”
Lola had the meal schedule down pat. At the sound of the lock turning outside, she rushed over to Dominick.
But Dominick’s untreated shoulder injury made it hard for him to move.
He moved slowly, making Lola very anxious.
“Forget it. I’ll do it!”
Lola bent down and gently helped Dominick lie down, supporting his shoulders.
But she’d barely eaten in two days and was also incredibly weak.
She lost her balance and tumbled right on top of Dominick!
Her soft lips almost touched Dominick’s!
Suddenly, Dominick lifted his head, his lips brushing against hers. At that moment, it was like a bomb went off in Lola’s mind!
She couldn’t believe what just happened, her eyes widening!
But the smug look in Dominick’s eyes confirmed it all.
Lola bit her lip. She should report his ass, end this once and for all.
“Yo! Is Dominick awake?”
A hoarse voice suddenly came from outside, and Lola was slightly startled, quickly hiding her inappropriate expression.
“Not yet.”
She
away.
slowly turned to face them, and her palms nearly torn open from clenching her fists so hard, afraid she might give herself
“Not yet? Then, what were you doing just now? Who were you talking to?”
The man spoke with a fierce expression, making Lola even more anxious, but she kept her face emotionless
“I was talking to Dominick
Dominick was taken aback. He started to wonder if Lola was angry or was going to expose him.
“I was scared being alone in here, so I was trying to get him to wake up.”
Lola’s face turned serious. “You go back and tell your bosses that if you don’t get a doctor in here soon and Dominick dies, you’re all in deep trouble.
“This can’t go on! He’s been unconscious for two days!”

Lola’s reaction fooled the man. He glanced at Dominick and sneered.
“We got our orders, and Dominick’s injuries ain’t bad enough to kill him.
“Humph, don’t even think about tricking me, Calling for a doctor so you can make a run for it? Nice try, but this door ain’t budging.”
He glanced behind him. “Put the vegetable soup in here. We’re leaving!”
Lola watched as a bowl of plain vegetable soup was pushed in, feeling a slight sense of relief.
“You’re the lady of the Lewis family, after all,” he warned. “If Dominick wakes up, you better tell us immediately. Our bosses won’t make things difficult for you. They’ll let you out right away.”
Lola’s eyes shifted slightly as she replied, “Then why not now? Seems like I’m not worth much to you. Dominick’s the one you’re really after, isn’t he?
“I’ve been missing for two days. The Lewis family will definitely come looking for me. If they find this place and discover Dominick here, they’ll certainly rescue us both.”
y crossed her arms over her chest. “If that happens, you’ll end up with nothing”
Lola confidently
“Wouldn’t it be less risky to let me go and keep Dominick here alone? Dominick is all alone in Acrionia. He has no family, just himself. No one would come looking for him.”
Lola felt a twinge of sadness as she said this, but it quickly vanished.
Dominick didn’t deserve her sympathy.
The guard hesitated. “Boss, she might be right. We’re holding two people, and one of them is Ms. Lewis. It’s too risky.”
Footsteps pounded closer from outside, and suddenly, Viper burst through the door, smacking the guard upside the head. “Are
you an idiot? You believe her? She might say that now, but as soon as she’s out, she’ll have Dominick’s men and the Lewis family on us. We’d be dead!
“Ms. Lewis, don’t try any tricks. I grew up playing these games. You ain’t fooling me.”
Viper scoffed, “Just stay put. As long as you notify us the moment Dominick wakes up, we’ll let you go.”
Lola hadn’t expected these men to be so sharp. None of them were falling for it!
But she didn’t want to give up so easily. The opportunity was too good to pass up.
“No way! I’ve completely fallen out with the Leroy Group. I hate Dominick, and I don’t care if he lives or dies. Just let me out of here, and I’ll forget everything that happened!”
Viper hesitated slightly. “Really?”
He was wavering. There might be a chance!
“Yes, I won’t report to anyone or call the police. If Dominick dies, I’ll be happy! I threw his contract in the trash!”
After Lola finished speaking. Viper slowly responded, “Are you done?
“You still don’t get it, do you? You think I’m stupid?
“You know better than anyone why Dominick’s in this mess. If he hadn’t taken that knife for you, you’d be the one lying on that bed.
“And you still have the nerve to say there’s nothing between you two! Damn it! Don’t try anything foolish!”
Lola tried to explain, but Viper wasn’t giving her a chance.
“Shut up! Keep being stubborn and you won’t even get this vegetable soup!”
Lala realized she couldn’t deceive them, but she had to try to negotiate for something else.

Chapter 113
“Dominick’s dying. If you won’t call a doctor, at least get him some antibiotics. Otherwise, he’s not gonna make it, and then can you get what you want?”
Viper shot a hesitant glance at the man on the bed before grunting, “Fine! We’ll talk about it next time we bring food. He won’t last long anyway, so why bother?”
Lola’s eyebrows tightened. Viper said Dominick won’t last long…
The men left as quickly as they’d arrived.
Lola looked at the bowl of vegetable soup, pressed her lips together, and picked it up.
After making sure the men had left, she walked over to Dominick.
“Hey, wake up and eat.”
Dominick didn’t move. Lola frowned and sat on the edge of the bed.
“Hey, I said wake up and eat.”
