Chapter 147 Warning

Perhaps Frederick was a good person. So, as soon as Pudding saw him, she wagged her tall and happily ran over, eagerly seeking his attention.

After playing with Pudding for a while, Frederick finally got to the point. "I've been doing business in Kandoria lately, and the money comes in fast. Do you want to Join me? I don't think you need to stay tied down to the Miller family's business,

"I'm sure it'll take you far, but people like us need to work both sides, right? You know how it is-fairness and righteousness often lose out to the darker forces." Kandoria was a place long plagued by chaos and war. It wasn't hard to guess what kind of business Frederick was talking about.

Dominic turned him down without hesitation, "No thanks. I've got enough on my plate."

Frederick looked a little disappointed. "What a shame that you don't have the ambition your father once had. The Sawyer family has more vision than you. They're involved in this too."!

Hearing that the Sawyer family was involved didn't taze Dominic much. "Is that all you came to say? You didn't come all this way to just ask me that, right?" Frederick paused for a while before he continued, "Since there's no real reason for you and Amber to break up, I was hoping you'd reconsider. I think highly of you, and I've always admited your father. It's a pity I never had the chance to befriend him before he passed,

"If you're free, why don't you come with me sometime? We could exchange some ideas. I'd like to lay my cards on the table. It might make future cooperation easier

Frederick's words were smooth, and it was hard to outright refuse him without appearing ungrateful. Dominic understood the implication, but he didn't want to commit an answer just yet.

"Let's eat first," Dominic said.

At the dining table, Frederick noticed Bella was absent. "Dominic, where's y

s your sister? Why don't you call her down to eat with us?"

Dominic frowned slightly, and he motioned for Sylvia to get Bella.

Though Bella found it off, she came downstairs. She disliked these kinds of gatherings, especially with Amber present.

The atmosphere at the table was nothing short of awloward. However, Frederick acted friendly toward Bella, "I didn't know the Miller family had a daughter. Your name is Bella Miller, right? Why do the household staff call you Ms. Jones?" Bella glanced at Dominic, unsure

to respond.

Dominic was thinking of how to respond diplomatically when Amber helped him out, which surprised him. "No, Dad. Her surname is Jones, and the Miller family adopted her when she was a young orphan. She's a doctor at Horizon Hospital, and she's pretty skilled at what she does." Frederick nodded. "I see. So, do you have a boyfriend, Bella? I'm sure an exceptional woman like you isn't single."

Under the table, Amber kicked Bella lightly bella was annoyed and looked over at Amber. However, the warning in Amber's eyes "Yes, I do."

made Bella respond instinctively,

As she spoke, Bella glanced over at Dominic. Their eyes met briefly, but there was no spark They simply looked away Indifferently. Frederick smiled with satisfaction. "I thought so. He must be from a well-off family, right? otherwise, he wouldn't be able to match up to you. Which family is he from? Maybe I Imow them."

uso concerned about the Miller family's affairs? Bella's

Amber cut in with a playful laugh and teased, "Dad, it's not like she's your daughter-in-law. Why are you so doing fine with her boyfriend, so why ask so n

many questions? Let's just enjoy our incal.

"We'll stop by Dominic's company this afternoon, and we'll show you around. You came all this way, so you might as well relax and have a look" Frederick finally stopped his probing at that. After lunch, Bella returned to her room while Dominle stayed behind to entertain Amber and Frederick When Frederick went to the restroom, Amber turned to Dominle and wamed him, "That's all the help I can give you. If my father replaces out the truth about your and Bella, don't blame me if something happens to her.

"I warned you he was coming today, but you still let Bella stay here and cause trouble. What were you
