Chapter 951

But a moment later, she steeled herself.

After being deceived by Domenic for so long, it wasn’t easy for her to trust him again.

“What did you find?” Lindsey asked, her voice steady and cool.

Domenic’s gaze darkened as he looked at her.

“I started noticing that all the girls close to me began vanishing without a trace.

Eventually, I discovered it was my grandpa’s doing; he was the one behind their disappearances.

He removed those girls out of my life.

Lindsey’s eyes widened once more as she exclaimed, “What? Why?”

“He despises any woman who reminds him of my mother,” Domenic explained, his voice heavy with resignation.

“He’s burdened me with all his regrets and expectations.

He controls everything about me, even deciding who I should marry.

He won’t be satisfied until he’s made that choice himself.

If he learns about you, he’ll treat you just like those girls who vanished.

I know all too well how ruthless he can be and the brutal infighting of power within my family.

I’m scared you’ll get dragged into this.

I can’t say for certain that I can protect you effectively.
