Simon quickly pulled his wife back into the car and sped away as if they were escaping a crime scene.

Flaine was still shaken up, but her fierce temper flared up, "What does Dominic think he's doing? I can't believe he actually dared to hit me! He's getting way above himself. We're all in the business world Who doesn't have a little money? Why did you pull me away? You co Simon, who had always been gentle with Elaine, finally snapped. He slammed on the brakes and turned to her with a grim expression.

"shot up!" he shouted.

Elaine was taken aback by his outburst. "What did you just say? Simon, if it weren't for me, you'd still be living like a stray.

"Bella and her mother ended up in this mess because of your philandering. If I'd known about your child before we married, I wouldn't have given you a second glance! Who do you think you are? Try shouting at me again and see what happens!"

Every word cut into Simon's pride like a dagger, but they were all true. He was a man who had climbed the social ladder on the back of his marriage.

He forced himself to swallow his anger, his tone softening. "Honey, I'm not trying to yell at you, but I've been running this company for years. You don't know the people in this circle

"My health isn't good enough. You'll have to donate your kidney. It's the only way,"

Elaine was incredibly reluctant. "I was hoping we could get one for free. Now I have to use mine, and you know my health isn't great"

Her content complaining was driving Simon crazy. After patiently ending her for a while, he restarted the engine and drove off. Remembering the look in Dominic's eyes when he hit his wife, Simon realized that Dominic had intended to kill her.

On the way back to Miller Manor, Bella stared out the window, Jost in her thoughts.

She didn't want Dominic to know about her troubles, but somehow he found out. She was Dominic didn't mention what had happened. He focused on driving, but when he saw tears at the comers of her eyes, he tossed a tissue box to her, "Don't cry in front of me. It's nella realized

she had been crying and quickly wiped away her tears. "I'm really sorry for the trouble I've caused, and I appreciate your help. I'm afraid there might be more issues down the line. Simon has been plotting against me for a long time. Please don't go out of your way for me i "There won't be a next time," Dominic said confidently

He didn't answer but gave her a sideways glance with a meaningful look

Bella hit her lip as she recalled how he had introduced her as his girlfriend. "Why did you say I was your girlfriend?"

She worked that Simon and his people might use this against her. She didn't want to cause Duminic any trouble and knew she wasn't the right girlfriend for him...

Dominic snorted. "If I hadn't spoken up, they would we believed that
