Autumn paused and said, “His name is Lucas. He’s my uncle’s son p>
Then she continued walking.
Dominic’s heart skipped a beat, followed by a strange rush of happiness. As he recalled her actions from earlier that day, he could not help laughing. He hurried after her and said, “Slow down. I want to ask you something p>
“Just ask.” Autumn did not stop.
“At my store opening, a lot of influencers promoted my products,” Dominic said. “That had something to do with you p>
Though phrased like a question, it was really a statement. He had already looked into it and was 99% certain that Autumn had
been involved.
“Lucas is the chairman of Crescent Entertainment,” Autumn said.
The name alone made Dominic understand. It was a company worth tens of millions, managing not only B- and C–list
celebrities but also numerous influencers with millions of followers.
He sighed. “You should have told me outright. I owe him a favor p>
Autumn said nothing.
Dominic could tell anyway. She might not confront things as directly as Jessica, but her feelings were always written on her face. Pretending Lucas was her boyfriend had just been a way to make him jealous.
And thinking it over, it had worked. He really had been upset. He had drunk too much, which gave Isabella a chance to take advantage of him, and Zachary had even gotten beaten up indirectly because of it.
He had to admit that Autumn’s actions had caused more consequences than either of them had expected.
Smiling, he said, “It’s already noon. Walking around won’t help. Let’s get something to eat. Are you hungry p>
Autumn turned her face slightly, her lips curling into a cold smirk.
“I’m starving. I have a great appetite.” The sarcasm in her tone was unmistakable.
Dominic pretended not to notice and reached out to grab her arm. “Come on. My car’s over there p>
Autumn let him pull her along.
Soon, they were seated in his cold car.
Dominic was about to start the engine when he noticed Autumn staring straight at him without blinking.
The intensity made him uneasy. “Hey, if you have something to say, just say it. You’re creeping me out p>
In a quiet voice, Autumn said, “Don’t you have something you want to tell me p>
Dominic frowned and thought quickly. This was clearly the reason her attitude had shifted so abruptly
After turning it over in his mind, he narrowed it down to one person. “That little pervert, Jessica
He took a deep breath and asked carefully, “You want to ask about me and Jessica p>
Autumn did not answer. She only kept staring
That confirmed it.
Thinking about what might have pushed Autumn over the edge, Dominic tried again. “Did she tell you something, or did you

see something p>
“She didn’t tell me anything,” Autumn said at last.
That settled it. If Jessica had not said anything, then Autumn must have seen something herself. Dominic understood immediately. It was most likely what had happened in the car that day.
He sighed and decided not to hide it. “Jessica… There were things I couldn’t refuse p>
Dominic was an ordinary man. Most of the time, he exercised restraint, to the point that many of his male friends joked that he was practically a castrato.
But faced with Jessica’s advances, there were limits to what he could resist.
Autumn thought about Jessica’s personality and her obvious advantages. To his surprise, she nodded. “I can understand that p>
Then, in the next moment, she fixed him with a steady gaze. “So have you confirmed a relationship with her p>
She had already made up her mind before coming. Since she had spoken, she intended to lay everything out in the open.
