Meet Dominic Arnold again with a new identity

Dominic felt the meeting was pointless. His purpose is to go to Joan's mansion to meet Esther and give her a surprise. But she wasn't there, so he didn't need to waste time with boring people.

Kaylin was completely taken aback by Dominic's behavior. In fact, she had heard some rumors about Dominic, that his personality was scary and cold, and that he was also quite erratic. Dominic Arnold is the manager of the entire Arnold family business on behalf of his father, including more than 30 large and small companies, hundreds of manufacturing factories and even secret jobs that others do not know.

Dominic is a rich, powerful man, attractive in appearance, but his coldness and indifference make people fear and respect, even Kaylin. She fell in love with this man from the first meeting because Dominic was undoubtedly the most outstanding man she had ever met. However, before she could do anything, Dominic left.

"Sorry, maybe we need to make another appointment to discuss this. Sorry Miss Kaylin Joan, perhaps my son was a bit rude." Mr. Donald got up and was about to leave.

"It's okay, I understand." Kaylin tried to put on a gentle smile.

The more cold and unapproachable Dominic is, the more Kaylin wants this man.

After Mr. Donald left, Kaylin completely gave up her fake dignified appearance and replaced it with a haughty and conceited look.

"Kaylin, what do you think?" Mr. Curtis asked.

"Father, we need to talk more about engagement. I really like Dominic, that man must be mine." Kaylin sat cross-legged on the chair.

"But Dominic and the Arnold family aren't people that we bully or force them to do to our will."

"If we can't force Dominic, we'll force Esther Joan."

...

"Your bill is 200 dollars."

I paid the shopkeeper, took a few bags of food and go back to the hospital. I have tried calling several law offices and asking for advice on inheritance issues. However, when they learned that Joan's family and I were fighting, they both refused to help. This made me feel really stuck and helpless. If I can't complete the process of inheriting the estate left by my great-grandfather Joan, then both my mother and I will be in danger.

I tried to forget the negative thoughts and went back to my mother's hospital room.

Unexpectedly, my father is here.

"Mr. Curtis, my mother and I do not welcome you. Please leave."

"Esther Joan, I know you're lonely and your mother is dying. The only person who can save you is me. You know, I could easily kill you and your mother without anyone knowing."

"..."

I absolutely cannot refute my father's words. He was right. I was completely alone and weak, unable to protect my mother and myself.

"What do you want? Inheritance? Don't dream, even if I die I won't listen to you. Leave us alone." I said smugly.

"Tsk, you should feel lucky because that's not the real reason why I came here looking for you." Mr. Curtis shook his head and stood up.

"What... what do you mean?" I felt a little nervous and took a step back.

Mr. Curtis spoke slowly of my engagement to a man named Dominic Arnold. According to Mr. Curtis, the Arnolds wanted to know my opinion in order to decide whether the engagement between me and Dominic would work.

"So you want me to agree or not?" I ask. I understood somewhat why Mr. Curtis had to come to me in such a hurry. He wanted to be friends with the Arnold family, even more than the inheritance I was holding.

"Reject the offer of the Arnold family. An ordinary person like you is not worthy to be the fiancée of a perfect man like Dominic Arnold. Joan's great-grandfather should have been wise and given that opportunity to Kaylin."

I kept quiet and didn't respond right away. This is so silly and weird. I don't even know who Dominic is, I don't know anything about aristocracy, because I was originally a child living in the countryside.

"What do I gain by doing what you say?" I tried to be resilient and asked him back.

"I promise I won't kill you. Remember, my allowing you to keep my family's inheritance is my last concession to you. Be humble and obedient."

Faced with my father's threats, I really couldn't resist. Even though they were all his daughters, Mr. Curtis showed clear favoritism for my sister Kaylin. How can a father treat his daughter so badly? Or is it just because my mother is not a noblewoman that I am easily bullied?

"I'll do as you wish."

Now, I can only compromise with him. I need time to find a lawyer to help me get my inheritance. Hopefully I can soon contact a reputable lawyer.

Three days later, a meeting between the two families took place. I sat next to my father, Kaylin was also present. At the appointed time, the Arnolds showed up. When I saw a young man in a elegant black suit enter the living room of Joan's house, I was so shocked that I almost screamed.

"You... you..."

"Hello, Miss Esther Joan. I'm Dominic Arnold."

Dominic greeted me unexpectedly, causing my question to pause. How can I forget this man's handsome face? He's the one I had a one-night stand with. And now he's my fiancé, the powerful man Dominic Arnold?

I was so surprised that I opened my eyes wide to look at Dominic, while he smiled slyly at me. For a moment, I thought I was fat prey, and he was a scheming hunter.

"Esther, why do you look so surprised? Do you know young master Dominic?" Mr. Curtis pretended to be friendly and turned to me.

"Ah... not at all. I don't know Mr. Dominic Arnold." I immediately denied.

As soon as I finished my sentence, Dominic suddenly chuckled, which surprised everyone, even Mr. Donald.

"Your memory seems a bit bad, doesn't it, Esther Joan? This isn't the first time we've met."
