Chapter 94
“I wonder if you would accompany me and stay here for a while? Even just chatting with me would prevent me from feeling too melancholic in this foreign land,”
Emil’s words were perfectly phrased. Despite being a prince, he spoke without any airs, making it difficult for the other pinty to refuse him.
As soon as his words fell, Scott’s expression changed. With a meaningful look, he glanced at Emil. “Prince Emil, isn’t this a bit inappropriate? After all, we’re staying quite close by. If you want to find us, you can just let us know anytime. While staying here is nice, it’s not quite proper considering this is the president’s residence
Dominick squinted slightly, thinking that Scott must have wanted to stay there, especially since that could allow him to be in close proximity
to Lola.
But Scott unexpectedly refused. Was there some undisclosed reason behind it?
Ethan stepped in before Dominick could respond. “Well, let me explain. Mr. Sinclair is welcome to stay here. It just so happens that Mr. Sinclair is my friend, and at such a young age, he’s already taken on an entire business empire. I have much to learn from him.”
Dominick nodded slightly as if receiving a signal. “Then I’ll stay here for the mean time and accompany Prince Emil.”
Scott’s expression darkened briefly. After some thought, he also spoke up. “Since Mr. Sinclair agrees to it, then I won’t decline the offer. I’ll stay here and accompany Prince Emil too.”
Ethan chuckled, “Mr. Jensen, do you not feel it’s inappropriate now?”
Scott’s expression froze, thinking Ethan didn’t care about embarrassing him! Ethan was making a joke out of Scott in front of so many people, and the thing was that he was doing it with a smile, leaving Scott unable to retort at all.
“Mr. Lewis, how could that be? Since Mr. Sinclair is fine with staying over, there’s no reason for me to leave.”
Dominick didn’t bother to engage further. He had his reasons for staying here.
“Since it’s settled, we welcome you. Tonight, I’ll have our best chel come over. I’m sure Prince Emil will fall in love with the cuisine here.”
Mason showed a kind demeanor and looked at Dominick
This was the
first ti
time he took notice of Dominick, a man who took all the blame for Lola.
Dominick was quite responsible and caring, especially towards Lola. Moreover, he was an impressive young man.
Compared to Scott, who made decisions without considering others‘ feelings, Dominick was much more likable and a good friend to Ethan.
“Mr. Sinclair, you have achieved so much at a young age. I assume your parents are remarkable people too.” Mason attempted to get closer to
Dominick.
When Mason mentioned Dominick’s parents, Ethan glanced at Dominick unconsciously, then jokingly intervened, “Dad, why don’t you ask something work–related? After all, we just met, Are we doing a background check already?”
Ethan tried to joke and brush off the matter, considering that the Sinclair family had already declined. Dominick probably didn’t want to talk about his dad and family anymore.

But there was no change in Dominick’s expression. He calmly replied. “I have no father, but I have a great r
Ethan was taken aback. It seemed Dominick had made peace with his past, which was a good thing.

“You don’t have a father? Could it be that you are an illegitimate child?” Scolt asked in a strange tone.
Scott saw through Mason’s intentions. How could she let Ethan have his way?
He thought that if Mason knew Dominick was born out of wedlock, he would just give up on his goals..
As soon as this was said, everyone present held their breath, looking at Dominick.
Ethan clenched his hand on his leg slowly. ‘Scott was really fearless, constantly provoking Dominick
Seeing Dominick’s embarrassment, Ethan’s mind raced to find a way to help him out.
Dominick’s eyes held an unreadable emotion as he looked at Scott. On the other hand, Ethan sweated nervously.
is Dominick planning to punch Scott right in front of everyone?”
After all, Dominick never cared about embarrassing others. Only his thoughts mattered in his world.
If Scott angered Dominick to the point of a physical confrontation in front of Ethan’s parents and Emil, then whether Dominick could continue staying there would become a question in the future.
That would mean Ethan couldn’t bring Dominick home anymore.
Ethan stared at Dominick, ready to intervene if he made any move.
“PIL”
Dominick remained silent for a long moment before making a disdainful sound.
“illegitimate son? The Sinclair family no longer exists, and my company has nothing to do with them. In what sense am I an illegitimate son?
Do enlighten me.”
“What?” Scott widened his eyes.
He thought he could provoke Dominick with this, but he didn’t expect Dominick to respond like this!
“Are you surprised? With the Sinclair family gone, how could there still be an ‘illegitimate son‘? I am the CEO of the Leroy Group. Who would
dare to call me that?”
His aura was enough to send chills down everyone’s spine.
Scott dared not say anything further. He had made the atmosphere extremely awkward. Although Mason and Jasmine didn’t say anything. their eyes showed unmistakable disdain.
With the atmosphere awkward, Mason arranged accommodation for them and had a steward show them around. Then he said he was feeling unwell as an excuse to go back to rest.
d in the room next to Dominick’s, afraid of anything happening
Dominick and Scott’s rooms were adjacent to each other’s, so Ethan stayed in the
between the two,
During dinner, Emil asked once again why Layla hadn’t appeared, but Jasmine smiled and explained that Layla wasn’t feeling well. Hence, Emil didn’t insist on seeing Layla.
Scott, this time, also supported Lola not showing up, even helping Jasmine explain.
After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
Dominick found Emil odd, but couldn’t quite pinpoint why.
Walking behind them, he could see Emil trailing after Scott. From Emil’s angle, it seemed like he was watching Scott.
He thought, “What’s so interesting to look at in a man? Plus, this so–called prince should’ve heard that Scott and Ms. Lewis were married, so why did he keep insisting on meeting her?”
The problem was so complicated that Dominick couldn’t think clearly. He was still thinking about it when he was showering after he returned
to his room.
“I brought you one of my pajamas. Don’t wear the one my servant prepared for you. It’s better to be more careful.” Ethan opened the door with the spare key and walked in without knocking
Dominick had just finished taking a shower, so he only had a towel wrapped around his torso and was wiping his hair.
