Crossroads

Chapter 70

Dominick’s face darkened as he strode forward briskly, his gaze fixed on the white Bentley ahead. Just moments ago, he sensed something

off in this area.

“Who’s there?” Vincent also walked over nervously.

They scanned the surroundings, but there was no one around.

“Help, help!” At this moment, a woman rushed over from the east entrance of the underground parking lot.

She looked terrified, panting anxiously as she ran and cried out, “Mr. Wellington, Jessica has been forcibly abducted. Please help me…

The woman was Jessica’s manager, Annie Folbre.

Dominick didn’t even glance at her. His impatience was evident, and his brows furrowed as he looked around persistently.

“Mr. Wellington, those people were armed and threatened us. I really, really had no choice. Please help Annie looked at him anxiously, her words slightly stuttered.

“In a situation like this, you should call the police.” Vincent kindly suggested, his expression indifferent, not concerned about Jessica being

abducted.

The real world was cruel, and they weren’t charitable souls.

Annie hastily took out a few letters from her bag, nervously saying, “Mr. Wellington, Jessica has been receiving anonymous threats recently. At first, we thought it was just fans playing pranks or maybe from competitors, but later, we found out it wasn’t. These letters were targeting the Innovate Group and you.”

Vincent’s expression changed upon hearing her words, immediately taking the letters from Annie’s hand.

The handwriting clearly showed that the letters were written by the same person, and Annie was not lying. These letters indeed targeted Dominick and the group.

[Your man is a heartless scoundrel]

[The Innovate Group is driving us to desperation, and the most damned ones are you and Dominick Wellington.)

[You wretched woman, I’ll ruin you. I will capture it all to let everyone know that Dominick has been cuckolded, to shame him, to make him

regret.]

The last line was so viciously written that it tore through the paper.

Just looking at it made Vincent feel the hatred, and he couldn’t help but feel nervous. “Who could have written this?”

“Dominick.” Vincent grabbed these letters and approached Dominick.

Dominick was squatting down and found a drop of blood on the floor behind a white Bentley. He lightly touched the drop of blood, which had not yet solidified.

He thought, “There really was someone here just now.”

Dominick looked at the bloodstain with a complicated expression, feeling inexplicably restless.

Vincent didn’t know why he suddenly squatted down.
