Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 486

"Selena is playing a long game. Everything she's doing right now is leading to one goal, and that is to have complete control over the Sowle family. And in the process, anyone who supports Eden or dares to oppose her becomes a target.

"However, doing such a thing doesn't just require a few desperate fugitives. She needs powerful allies from other influential families. That's why she's pulling every string she can to win them over."

"She's terrifying," muttered Rebecca.

Vespera sighed and said, "Somehow, because of my past with Tina, I ended up in her crossfire. Through her, I got dragged into that cult-like association and ended up catching the attention of something even darker."

That person who killed four people in a row and wore a rubber mask wasn't even considered a human anymore.

Just hearing Vespera bring it up again made Rebecca shudder. Goosebumps rose on her arms as she said, "Vera, we were just trying to get justice. We wanted Tina to pay for what she did. How did things spiral this far?"

Vespera shrugged and sighed. A year ago, she hadn't even heard Tina's name, but one thread unraveled into another and tangled into knots. It rolled into a storm that pulled in monsters.

The more Rebecca thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She gathered her things and left shortly after. Then, Vespera went to the penthouse.

When Vespera arrived, Raymond was still awake. He was out on the balcony with Snowball, enjoying the night air. The glass doors were open, and the soft meowing of the cat drifted inside.

Had Dominic returned yet? Vespera glanced toward the study before walking out onto the balcony. As soon as she stepped outside, Snowball ran up and rubbed against her legs.

Vespera bent down to scoop Snowball up. She ran her fingers through its soft fur before settling into a chair.

"You're back. I made some ice cream earlier today. Do you want some?" Raymond asked with a kind smile.

Vespera replied with a nod, "I would love some."

"That makes sense," responded Vespera with a nod. Her hand tensed slightly around the spoon, but her voice stayed light. She asked, "Did he bring his girlfriend with him this time? You mentioned before he was dating someone, right?"

"No, he didn't bring his girlfriend this time. Maybe they broke up. He has been unusually quiet. His parents are worried about him," answered Raymond.

"Really? Is he mopping over another breakup?" Vespera asked, acting surprised.

"Who knows? Mr. Harry has always been a bit more sensitive, unlike Mr. Dominic. He isn't expected to be as capable as Mr. Dominic. His parents just want him to be happy and live a good life," said Raymond.

Vespera sighed and said, "Parents are truly the same everywhere."

Behind Vespera, Dominic had been standing there with his arms crossed for a long time. He asked, "Ms. Gildon, why are you suddenly so interested in my brother?"
