Moonlit Betrayal (Alpha Rick)
Chapter 43

Chapter 43

“I thought I was seeing things, but witnessing Mr. Sinclair show such deep affection is truly rare.”

Laura spoke icily. “Back then, for another woman, you killed your own child. You were capable of such a wicked act, and now you pretend to be

affectionate?

“Today, I intend to expose the heinous deeds you two have committed for all to seel”

Dominick raised his hand to cover Lola’s ears, trying his best to shield her from any influences.

“Shut up!

“Our affairs are not for you to judge. I’ve respected you for the kindness you once showed me, calling you ‘mother‘ for so many years. But don’t blame me for being heartless if you try to hurt Lolal”

Laura burst into laughter, “Don’t you replace it ridiculous to say that?

“What connection could possibly exist between us? You’re not my son. I’ve only ever had one son, Landon!

“I raised you just for show. As long as I took good care of you, making you into an ambitionless nobody, my son and his status would not be threatened!”

Her face twisted into a grimace. “But I never expected you and that wretch Jessica to conspire behind my back, plotting against my son. Well, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

She had already denied their mother–son relationship, and she seemed unsatisfied as if making it into nothing.

He had expected this.

Whether true feelings or pretense, it was always clear during their time together.

und him, regardless of whether he did something wrong or deserved praise.

Laura was always smiling around h

Sometimes, he saw Landon make a mistake and get scolded by Laura, who would then secretly wipe away tears. He felt envious.

A genuine connection between him and Laura was always impossible. This outcome was not surprising,

“I never intended to vie for control of the Sinclair Group. After all these years, you still haven’t truly understood me.” His tone was indifferent. He just simply stated facts without any emotion.

“Nonsense!”

This was the first time Laura, always gentle and elegant, used such harsh words.

Her eyes reddened, her body shaking, she exclaimed, “If you truly respected Landon, how could you cover his woman? If you were not interested in the Sinclair Group, why did you develop it so rapidly in just a few years?

“You’ve been eyeing how to manage the company. You wanted to outdo Landon, so after taking over, you quickly improved the company to prove to everyone that Landon is inferior. You’ve succeeded!”

Dominick never expected that Laura would see his respect for Landon as an ulterior motive.

“Do you really think the Sinclair Group represents all my strength?”

Dominick’s expression darkened. He gently helped Lola to a seat before stepping forward, not moving too far from her.

“Taking over the Sinclair Group was out of sentiment. Do you think i hold any affection for this cold and heartless family?

Chapter 43

“It’s too late for such discussions now. Given the circumstances, I will withdraw my support for the Moore family. As for the Sinclair family, you get your

Gary, who had been too ashamed to speak up, could no longer sit still upon hearing this.

“Dominick! What do you mean by this? Withdrawing your investment? There’s no reason in the world for such a thing You’ve already agreed to help us. There’s no way to go back on your word! I won’t accept you pulling out your investment”

Dominick thought how audacious of him to even say that

Dominick sneered, “I thought you’d be too ashamed to show your face, slinking away

like a coward.

“invested because I promised Landon to look after Jessica.

“But the truth is now crystal clear. She plotted to tear my family apart, to lay the blame for my child’s misfortune on me, but it falls on her as well!”

Gary panicked. The Moore Group couldn’t just collapse like this!

Nor could he be the one to and the Moore family’s century–old legacy. He had no choice but to resort to the last measure

“You already agreed to marry Jessica, and now you’re backing out. How is she supposed to marry anyone else now? How will you take responsibility for her reputation? You can’t pull your funding. Think of it as compensation for Jessical”

Dominick had never heard such shameless words before. Today, she was stunned by those words!

“Compensation?

“Should I also seek compensation for the harm she did to Lola? if that’s the case, let’s settle everything once and for all

“Jessica schemed to make me believe Lola was responsible for harming Landon’s child. How should she compensate for that? Such malice, not even her life would be enough to make it up to Lola!”

“Her life wouldn’t be enough to make amends to Lola.

These words echoed over and over in Jessica’s mind Eke a curse.

The man who once believed in her and adored her, saying such words made her feel as if her heart had stopped.

In that moment, her pride, self–esteem, and composure

e were stripped away and trampled by the man she loved most.

Lola, the only person who could still bring out a trace of gentleness from him, was like a spark in the raging fire that was consuming her rationality.

“Lola…you and I are irreconcilable enemies. I want you dead!”

Jessica, unnoticed on the stage, glared with murderous intent, her mind filling with an unrelenting rage.

As gasps of shock echoed around her, Dominick instinctively turned to look at Lola.

But it was too late to stop anything. Without a second thought, he ran to Lola and shielded her with his body.

What followed was the sound of a knife piercing flesh.

Jessica stood frozen, still clutching the fruit knife in her hand.

The red liquid flowing down the blade finally srapped her back to a semblance of sanity.

She had wanted to kill Lola,

In her despair, with Dominick’s heart belonging only to Lola, she had wanted to kill her.

He thought even if it meant dying together.

But she never expected Dominick to risk his life to protect Lola.

She had lost.

She had truly lost.

Jessica collapsed to the ground, tears falling uncontrollably. “You’re crazy Dominick, You’d really crazy. You don’t care about your own life!”

Ethan had also intended to protect Lola, but he hadn’t anticipated Dominick acting faster, even disregarding his own safety…

With a complex look, he said, “You.”

I’m okay”

“Don’t worry. I’m okay.” Dominick softened his harsh gaze, speaking in the gentlest tone.

Ethan paused slightly, realizing those words weren’t saying to him.
