Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

Domenic’s soul like a dagger.

It was a pain he knew all too well, having lost his parents at a young age.

His grandfather had been his sole family, his rock, his protector.

His grandpa had saved him countless times from his uncles’ deadly schemes, guided him, and shaped him into the person he was today.

To Domenic, nothing surpassed the debt he owed his grandpa for raising him.

He couldn’t bear the thought of his grandpa passing away with unresolved regrets, especially if it was because of him.

He clenched his fists, his legs feeling like leaden weights, as he stood frozen outside the door, unable to move or enter.

Carole’s voice, strained and trembling, came from behind the door.

“Please don’t say that! You’re going to live a long, happy life, I promise! If Domenic doesn’t want to marry me, please don’t force him.

There must be someone far better suited for him out there.

I’ll give up.

”

“Carole, I’ve lived through many trials and tribulations.

I know all too well the kind of woman a man should marry to bring prosperity and happiness to his family.

There are countless girls in the world, but few are as uniquely suited for Domenic as you are.

He’s never been in a relationship before, and I fear he’s vulnerable to being swept off his feet by someone with ulterior motives.

I’ve made up my mind, Carole.

If Domenic refuses to marry you, he’ll forfeit his chance to become the chairman of Walsh Group.

Though Domenic had outmaneuvered both Herbert and Kent to secure a majority stake in Walsh Group, that final one percent remains elusive.

As long as I withhold my consent, Domenic will never lay claim to that last bit of ownership.

”

Domenic’s heart sank like a rock as Jordan’s words hit him hard.

It turned out his grandpa had orchestrated everything in advance.

Domenic now understood why his grandpa had consented to bestow him with fifty percent of the shares upon his engagement and had even turned a blind eye when he dealt with his uncles Herbert and Kent.

No matter how hard he tried, he was still under his grandpa’s control.

Whenever he crossed his grandpa, he never came out ahead.

Domenic suddenly recalled Hendrix’s words.

His grandfather had attempted to harm Lindsey over one of her artists.

If his grandfather were to find out that Lindsey was his girlfriend, he would undoubtedly never let her go.

If his mother never married his father, she could have lived a normal, peaceful life.

She wouldn’t have perished due to the power struggle within the family.

To make matters worse, not even her ashes were left intact.

Maybe loving someone wasn’t about possessing them but about letting them go.

After all, there were better matches for Lindsey.

What justification did he have to hold her back?

Domenic closed his eyes, a pained frown creasing his forehead.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, collected himself, and pushed the door open.

When Carole heard Domenic’s voice, she quickly wiped away her tears, stood up, and turned around to greet him with a warm smile.

“Domenic, you’re back.

”

Jordan glanced at Domenic, then rested his head against the bed’s headboard and closed his eyes without a word.

“Grandpa, I’ve made a decision.

” Domenic stood before Jordan, looking down at the frail old man in the bed, and said, “I’ll deal with the Vitality Group, and I’ve decided to marry Carole.

Just focus on getting better and leave everything else to me.

”

At that, Jordan’s eyes snapped open, staring at Domenic in surprise.

Carole’s eyes sparkled with joy, and she fought to contain her smile.

She had to admit that Jordan was quite clever.

Upon hearing Domenic’s footsteps, he had orchestrated a performance with her to subtly pressure Domenic into making concessions.

“Really?” Jordan sat up excitedly, grabbed Domenic’s hand, and exclaimed, “It’s great that you can figure it out.

”

While talking, he gestured to Carole.

She walked over obediently and placed her hand in Jordan’s.
