Since Katherine could not cook, she ordered takeout every day. The man had disguised himself as a delivery driver and gained access, which made it nearly impossible to guard against.
However, the matter was not over yet.
Katherine nodded, fear still lingering. “I’ll listen to your advice, Dominic p>
She suddenly remembered something. “Oh, right. What you said earlier. Were you serious? If he really hurt me p>
Dominic paused, then burst out laughing. “How would that be possible? Killing someone’s family and all that. It sounds brutal. How could I do something like that? I was just scaring him p>
Katherine gave a soft “Mm.” She had only asked out of idle curiosity. Still, in that brief moment, Dominic had almost overturned her perception of him. The contrast with his usual gentle image had been striking.
Dominic smiled and shook his head. When he saw Isabella comforting Katherine, he stepped aside, took out his phone, and
dialed a number.
“Hello, who’s this?” Oliver’s voice came through the line.
Dominic’s expression darkened. This man did not even have his number saved.
“It’s me,” he said coldly.
Oliver froze for a second. “Dominic? Why the hell are you calling me p>
Dominic sneered and got straight to the point. “Your sister almost lost her life today p>
“What?” Oliver’s tone sharpened, heavy with restrained anger. “What happened p>
Dominic recounted what had just occurred.
Oliver fell silent for several seconds before speaking again. “Put Katherine on the phone p>
Dominic walked over. “Your brother p>
Katherine took the phone.
“Katherine, are you okay?” Oliver asked, worry clear in his voice.
Katherine glanced at Dominic before answering, “Don’t worry, Oliver. Dominic’s here p>
Oliver fell silent once more. It was a relief that his sister was safe, yet those words left him oddly unsettled.
With a faintly sour tone, he said, “As long as you’re fine. Give the phone back to him p>
Dominic knew it was time to discuss business. He took the phone and stepped outside onto the balcony, leaning against the railing as he lit a cigarette.
“Who was it?” Oliver asked.
Dominic glanced back into the apartment. “I’ve already sent you the photos. He should still be in Skyline City today p>
Earlier, he had taken pictures of the man.
Oliver hummed. “I’ll handle it. Take good care of Katherine p>
“I will.” Dominic moved to hang up.
“Wait!” Oliver said suddenly.

“What is it p>
Oliver hesitated, then warned, “Focus on taking care of her. You’d better keep yourself in line p>
This man had already caused trouble with one sister. Now that he was divorced, Oliver felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
Dominic fell silent, then snapped, “Oliver Sinclair, are you out of your damn mind p>
Oliver snorted. “Just behave yourself. Don’t make me come find you again p>
“Find me? So you can get beaten up p>
“Heh. You think I’m still the same as before? Fleming, remember this. A man should be judged anew after three days. Just you
wait p>
Recently, Oliver had realized that constant restraint no longer worked. After painful self–reflection, he had begim an extremely intense training regimen in secret. He needed payback.
Dominic replied with disdain, “Fine. I’ll be waiting p>
He ended the call.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes. He had promised to let the man leave, and he had promised not to call the police. A promise, once made, had to be honored.
But that was all. After doing something like this, did the man really think he could walk away unscathed?
Oliver, the ultimate sister–protecting fanatic, would make him understand exactly why the Sinclairs of Eastmere State were not to be provoked.
