Chapter 253
Although Autumn was not as utterly despondent as Isabella, the news still struck her like a thunderbolt and plunged her into despair.
Even after events took a sudden turn for the better, her emotions remained tangled, and she could not calm down anytime soon.
Jessica walked slowly to Dominic’s side, lowered her head, and called out softly, “Dominic p>
Dominic glanced at her. After a few seconds of silence, he said, “Let’s head back first p>
More than half an hour later, everyone returned to Luxe Residence.
When Katherine saw that Isabella and Dominic had come back safely, she rushed forward in excitement and hugged her younger sister.
She then tried to hug Dominic, but Isabella seemed to sense her intention and held Katherine tightly, refusing to let go. Katherine had no choice but to give up.
Jessica knew she had completely messed things up. She had nearly caused someone’s death. Even someone as fearless as Jessica no longer dared to look at Dominic.
The house gradually fell silent.
Isabella’s expression shifted slightly. “Kathy, where’s Lily p>
“She’s in her room p>
“Let’s go find her. ”
The two of them left the living room.
Only Dominic, Autumn, and Jessica remained.
After a brief silence, Dominic said, “Go home, Jessica p>
Jessica lifted her head, disbelief written all over her face.
Dominic spoke calmly. “You’re the Hale heiress. People like us can’t afford to play games with you. We really can’t p>
Those words made Jessica break down in tears. She grabbed his arm, choking on her sobs. “Dominic, I was wrong. Please don’t send me away, okay p>
Dominic was not someone who changed his mind easily. He shook his head. “You’re not suited to living here. You should go back to where you belong p>
“I don’t want to… I don’t want to leave…” Jessica wailed.
Dominic kept his tone steady. “We’re friends. If you don’t leave, we won’t even be able to stay friends ”
Jessica seemed to go blank. She looked into Dominic’s eyes, calm as still water, and understood that he was not joking
Dominic said nothing more. He walked straight to her room, opened the door, and said, “Go on Pack your things p>
Autumn watched quietly and offered no opinion. She supported whatever decision Dominic made and would not interfere
For a brief moment, Jessica’s expression stirred a flicker of softness in her heart. Still, everyone had to bear responsibility for their own actions.
Jessica stood there for a long time before she managed to take even one step

Dominic watched her in silence, then raised his hand in a polite gesture of invitation.
Tears streamed down Jessica’s face as she walked into the room, step by step.
Dominic gave her no further attention.
A full hour passed before Jessica came out again, pushing a suitcase.
She looked at Dominic, her lips trembling. “Dominic, I … I don’t want to leave. Please forgive me. You can yell at me, you can hit me, I’ll do anything. I’m begging you, don’t send me away p>
Dominic shook his head. He did not scold her, strike her, or utter a single word of reproach.
He walked to the door, opened it, and said calmly, “Go. Someone is waiting for you downstairs p>
Earlier, the burly woman had driven behind them the entire way back. That alone made it clear that someone had been watching over Jessica every day, so Dominic felt no concern about her leaving at night.
Jessica pushed her suitcase and stepped outside. She turned back, still wanting to say something.
The door shut instantly.
Inside and outside the house felt like two completely different worlds.
Jessica stood at the doorway, frozen like a statue, for a very, very long time. Today, her own actions had successfully gotten her kicked out.
