Dominic returned home on time for dinner. Eva turned toward him and quipped, "I can't believe my eyes. You actually came back for dinner despite being so busy." Dominic took her hand after removing his coat. "Yeah, right. You wouldn't have texted me and said that Mia came back for dinner if you didn't want me to come back." As he spoke, he glanced at Mia. "Mia, come. I've got something to discuss with you."

Mia knew Dominic wanted to talk to her, so she came back home for dinner today. She went outside with him and stared at him.

"Dominic, did I cause you any trouble because of the Yellow Islanders?"

"Mia, I've told you that nothing you do will ever cause me any trouble. Yellow Island has indeed sent someone over, but don't worry. It's only right of you to kick them out when they made a scene at the research institute. If I were there that day, it wouldn't have been as simple as sending them to the district."

Dominic was aware that the research institute was responsible for Sage's treatment as well. He also saw how the Yellow Islanders could barge in so easily to cause trouble.

Mia stuck out her tongue. "That's a relief. The Yellow Islanders have been particularly persistent. Also, we haven't been on good terms with the mayor lately either. If he decides to work with Yellow Island to target our family, we'll be in deep trouble."

Ruffling her hair, Dominic said, "Don't worry about this. Mr. Shelbert is getting ahead of himself lately. He has reached out to the Barretts, but he's also working with Yellow Island at the same time. I know what he's up to."

"But if he really forms an alliance with the Yarrows and the Barretts, he'll definitely target our family."

"Are you worried that I'll be targeted, or are you worried that we'll have to confront the Barretts?" Dominic asked.

"It doesn't matter if we confront the Barretts. Just settle it like how we usually do. What I'm worried about is the fact that Mr. Shelbert has an illegitimate daughter."

Dominic arched his brows. "Mr. Shelbert has an illegitimate daughter? Tell me more about it. How did you find out?

"It's not uncommon to have illegitimate children in families like his, but there must be a reason for you to specifically bring it up."

Mia began, "His illegitimate daughter is Luna. She was initially serving her time in Bern City, but he secretly brought her to Nord City."

"What? That woman was brought away?"

Dominic's expression soured. He knew who Luna was since she had secretly swapped the bone marrow and nearly caused Sage to have an accident.

He even personally dispatched a legal team to handle the matter, deliberately causing her to serve a heavier sentence so she'd pay a price in prison.

"Yeah. I only found out about this by chance when I attended a charity banquet last time. I never expected Luna to be Mr. Shelbert's illegitimate daughter. Moreover, it seems like he intends to have her stay in Nord City. He even wants to make a deal with me."

"I guess Mr. Shelbert must've used me to threaten you."

Mia nodded. "But I couldn't care less. I pretended to agree, but I could still work on many things."

Relieved, Dominic said, "You're my sister, indeed. You're all grown up now. But let me handle this matter. A woman who's been in prison doesn't deserve your time."

A hint of murderous intent flickered in his eyes. Anyone who dared to take advantage of Mia was dead meat to him.
