Chapter 451

Dominic chuckled with mockery. He asked, "Do you think I saved you out of kindness?"

Emily froze. She had schemed against Dominic's mother. It was already a blessing that he didn't take revenge. How could he save her out of kindness?

Emily asked, "Mr. Reid, you saved me because I'm still useful, right? You want to use me against Selena."

Dominic chuckled again and responded, "You're quick on the uptake."

He crossed one leg over the other and continued, "Selena has been tearing the world apart trying to find you. I figured that as long as you're alive, she will feel uneasy."
