Chapter 243
“ I’m different,” Dominic said calmly. “If I have an objective, I state it outright. If we can reach an agreement, we talk. If we can’t, we walk away. There’s no need to force anything p>
Jewel nodded instinctively.
Dominic continued, “All right, I’ve said enough. If you agree, we sign the contract. If you don’t, we drop it. It’s getting late, so I should be leaving p>
Jewel’s eyes filled with intense inner conflict.
As Dominic had said, the value of White Cosmos No. 1 was not something a small company like JewelMed could truly assess.
Even if JewelMed were sold off entirely, its absolute ceiling would hover around 70 million dollars.
However, White Cosmos No. 1 represented an untouched blue ocean in the market, with no competition whatsoever.
Viewed this way, even retaining only 30% of the shares would still yield enormous profits.
But if she agreed, she would no longer be JewelMed’s sole owner, and that reality weighed heavily on her.
Jewel hesitated. Autumn, however, set down her phone and spoke with quiet seriousness. “ From my perspective, if you agree to this collaboration, Dominic is actually the one taking the loss. ”
She understood his personality. He put everything on the table. He never smiled to someone’s face while stabbing them in the back. That was precisely why Autumn trusted him.
Jewel’s heart trembled. She drew a deep breath and looked at Dominic. “Dominic, I have one condition, and that is… the company’s name can’t be changed p>
“That doesn’t matter, ” Dominic replied.
With those words, Jewel finally made her decision. “All right, I agree p>
Her goal had always been to build JewelMed to rival the Garcia Group, but she knew deep down that the dream was nearly unattainable. Even with Zachary’s support, JewelMed would at best reach a valuation in the hundreds of millions. But with Andriana involved, the company had a real chance to soar.
Dominic smiled faintly. “Then it’s settled. Tomorrow I’ll go to the office and invite Ms. Palmer over for a detailed discussion p>
He rose as he spoke.
A bitter smile touched Jewel’s lips. She stood as well and extended her hand. “Dominic… No, I should be calling you Mr. Fleming from now on. Mr. Fleming, I look forward to working with you p>
Dominic clasped her hand. “Likewise p>
From that moment on, Dominic’s identity changed completely. Overnight, he went from a frontline sales employee to the company’s co–owner. Life was truly unpredictable.
After that, Jewel refrained from interrupting them further and made a graceful exit.
Autumn clicked her tongue. “Dominic, Ms. Palmer is extremely famous at Skyline University. And you actually know her ”
Dominic nodded. “We’ve only known each other for a few days p>
“Only a few days, and she’s already willing to give you exclusive authorization ” Autumn sounded stunned. Midway through her sentence, she seemed to realize something. “ Oh my god p>
Her voice trailed off, and she fell silent. She knew about Dominic’s special ability. That knowledge, however, was also ber deepest secret. She had not even shared it with her parents.
Chapter 243
After leaving the restaurant, Dominic prepared to send Autumn home.
She insisted on going to Luxe Residence instead, saying she wanted to mooch a meal.
Dominic felt a headache coming on, but refusing her was not easy, so he took her along.
‘ It really is time to add a poker table to the house, ‘ he thought.

When they arrived, Isabella and Katherine had not yet returned.
Jessica heard the commotion and hurried over with a bright smile. “Dominic p>
The moment she noticed Autumn behind him, her expression shifted. “Hey, what are you doing here p>
Autumn rolled her eyes. “ I’m planning to move in p>
“What?” Jessica blurted out.
The Sinclair sisters were one thing. Dominic had mainly let them stay because of Lilith, and he probably did not feel much about it.
However, Jessica was perceptive..She could clearly sense that Dominic’s attitude toward Autumn was different.
‘If Autumn moves in, won’t that be fishing in my pond? No. She’s planning to wipe out the entire fishing hole! Absolutely not!‘ Jessica tightened her cheeks, hostility plain on her face.
It looked like the plan had to be activated. Not only did the ex–wife need to be driven out, but this potential threat, Autumn, could not be allowed to stay either.
