Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon

Chapter 375

Fawn's face went pale.

She didn't want to choose either of those options.

"I'll give you ten minutes to think about it. If you don't have an answer by then, I'll choose for you," Dominic said politely, his tone civil.

But the cold, piercing look in his eyes made him feel less like a son and more like an exam proctor holding a ticking timer.

"You-! You're forcing me!" Fawn snapped, furious.

"Mom, let's not pretend this isn't fair. Let me break it down for you. When I said I didn't want Nancy to come back, you vouched for her. You promised she wouldn't cause trouble and mess with my girlfriend.

"You told me her return had nothing to do with me and that it had been planned long ago. I trusted you. I didn't stop you, right?" Dominic replied calmly.

Fawn could only nod. "Mmhmm..."

"Right. I gave you trust and respect. And just in case, I made it very clear that if she caused any drama, she'd be out of Halewick for good. You didn't object. So, wouldn't you say that counts as an agreement?"

Fawn's eyes widened. "What agreement? I never-"

"Don't try to play dumb. I have proof."

Dominic pulled out his phone and played a voice recording, the conversation from that day in the upstairs garden between the two of them.

Fawn was stunned.

He... He'd recorded her? She was his mother, for god's sake.

Nancy, watching Fawn falter, looked desperately at Samuel, silently begging him to say something.
