Meanwhile, Lola stood barefoot on the balcony and watched the lights fade into the night.
She realized that Dominick must be confident in keeping her from leaving, but what she hadn’t expected was that leaving the island would require a helicopter. Now, Lola’s only way to escape was to find a way to contact Ethan and have him come for her.
Since waking up, Lola had not seen her phone, nor had she seen any of the servants with ond
She had also never seen Dominick making any contact with the outside world.
Just then, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside, and Dominick walked in carrying a glass of milk. He glanced at Lola, who was standing on the balcony, and approached her,
He asked, “What’s the matter? Are you thinking of leaving here?”
Lola turned toward Dominick, and replied, “The Moore Group is on the brink of bankruptcy. How about this? You let me leave, and I’ll make Ethan stop attacking it.”
Dominick narrowed his eyes, his lips parting slightly as he said deliberately, “Lola, you can only be my wife in this lifetime. As long as I live, you have to stay by my side. Don’t even think about leaving me.”
“Mr. Sinclair, are you planning to have your beloved live as a mistress forever?” Lola asked with a light chuckle.
For a moment, Dominick did not catch who she referred to as “the beloved one,” but then he frowned and said, “Lola, what happened between us has nothing to do with Jessica ”
Before Lola could respond, he continued, “What happened two years ago is in the past. As for who…
“In the past?” she interrupted Dominick coldly with a sneer. Lola stepped forward and spoke calmly. “Dominick, you owe me two years ago, and I intend to settle each score with you. I will make you pay for my child’s life.”
He responded, “The mistake was yours two years a
It was me who caused you to lose the child, Jessica is innocent.” sago.
Dominick seemed displeased with Lola’s words. After he finished speaking, he frowned as if he didn’t want to dwell on the past any longer and instead handed her the glass of milk.
“You barely ate today. Here, drink some milk before you sleep,”
Lola thought sarcastically, ‘Did he just say “the mistake was mine?”
She smiled mockingly and looked up at Dominick before her gaze shifted downward, looking at the glass of milk. Lola then raised her hand and flung the glass of milk away, causing it to crash against the wall with a sharp, crisp sound as it shattered into pieces.
“I’m all alone now and have nothing left for you to exploit, Mr. Sinclair. So, don’t pretend to be affectionate in front of me. It makes me sick!” Lola coldly finished, then turned and left the bedroom.
When she went downstairs the following day, there was still no sign of the servant in the villa. It was still Dominick who was busy in the kitchen.
Lola merely glanced at him and stepped out of the villa. She then saw the golden morning sunlight shining from the horizon, bringing some warmth. The island was filled with the sounds of birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers. The outdoors seemed much more inviting than staying in the villa. Afterward, Lola headed toward the hill behind.

At that moment, Dominick’s words from the previous night echoed in her ears, “The mistake was yours two years ago. It was me who caused you to lose the child, Jessica is innocent”
Lola smirked wryly, thinking, “My mistake? The only mistake I made was running out of Mitchell Villa that night, which fed me to encounter Dominick, and ultimately marrying him. And he even claimed Jessica was innocent is the indeed innocent? Jessica enjoyed Dominick’s admiration while also reveling, in Landon’s affection and the status of being the wife of the first heir of the Sinclair family that Landon brought. When Landon unexpectedly passed away, she pretended to be willing to sacrifice everything for the child, thereby shifting the blame onto me. Who could outmatch Jessica in cunning, ruthlessness, and acting?”
Lola stood at the edge of the sea and gared out at the vast expanse of water before her. She then wondered if she would be able to sim away from this unknown island if she jumped in. As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Lola plunged headfirst into the sea.
Immediately after, the salty smell of the sea stung her senses. Lola could feel the water was neither cold nor warm as she swam vigorously forward. She did not know how long she had been swimming, only feeling the sun high in the sky and her vision starting to blur. At that moment, Lola knew she had reached her Emit.
Lola pondered, “I can’t swim out, nor can I swim back! Let it be thent From now on, there won’t be a person named Lola in this world, nor will there be a Layla,”
She then slowly closed her eyes, letting her body gradually sink to the bottom of the sea. Lola felt she got farther and farther from the surface until she was completely engulfed in darkness.
Suddenly, an arm wrapped around Lola’s waist and pulled her entire body against a firm chest.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself next to a man in a white shirt carrying an oxygen tank.
The man removed the breathing apparatus from his mouth, revealing a familiar, slightly cold face, before leaning down to kiss Lola’s pale lips and passing her the oxygen from his mouth.
Upon seeing her gradually regain consciousness, Dominick finally felt relief. He placed the breathing apparatus into Lola’s mouth and then began swimming toward the surface while holding onto her.
Meanwhile, a luxurious yacht was stationed on the sea surface, with a group of men in black standing on the deck, anxiously watching the sea. A few other men were in diving gear, with oxygen tanks on their backs, and stood ready to dive in for a rescue at any moment.
“There they are!” someone shouted, and everyone looked toward the sea.
They then saw Dominick emerge from the water with Lola in his arms. After lifting her onto the deck, someone immediately brought over a towel and a thin blanket. Dominick, however, didn’t take the towel. Instead, he wrapped Lola in the blanket, his expression solemn as he looked down at her in his
arms.
She said, “Mr. Sinclair, you’re quite skilled to have arrived so quickly!”
Having exhausted too much energy, Lola spoke weakly.
Dominick pressed his lips together and slowly replied, “I didn’t just arrive. I’ve been following you the whole time…”
Lola didn’t catch what he said afterward as her head slumped to the side, and she fell into unconsciousness.
When the yacht returned to the villa, and Dominick carried her down, a group of people dressed in black had already waited on the shore. Upon seeing him, they all nodded respectfully in unison. “Mr. Sinclair.”
He nodded back coolly and carried Lola slowly toward the villa
A man in black approached and said, “Dr. Allan is already waiting at the villa!”
Dominick nodded slightly. He then looked down at the unconscious Lola in his arms and frowned deeply. Dominick thought, With Lola’s intelligence, she wouldn’t have the foolish idea of swimming back. She’s very allert. Back at the Horizon Group, she sensed my presence the moment I arrived. Yet Lola never noticed me following her for so long just now. And when she couldn’t swim anymore, she didn’t struggle at all, just letting her body sink into the
