Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)
Chapter 332 A Weird Warning

Justin's expression was stern as he left the restaurant. "Gloriana, I'm so disappointed in you."

Gloriana looked aggrieved as she said, "I didn't know that Bella and Mr. Miller got back together again..."

Sonya sneered, "Dominic was willing to take you out and even let some gossip spread about the two of you. Why didn't you seize your chance? Our family is done for if you don't win him over. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"

Facing her parents' accusations, Gloriana lost it and said, "All the two of you ever do is pin your hopes on me. I'm not the one who offended the Sawyers! Why should I be the one paying the price?"

As Gloriana's older sister and the reason behind the Kleins' dilemma, Yelena roared, "What are you trying to say? I wouldn't need you if I could get close to Dominic. Yes, I'm the one who had offended the Sawyers. But why weren't you willing to go on a blind date with Leonard back then?

"You, too, rejected the date because you looked down on the fact that he's an illegitimate child, didn't you?"

Justin said sternly, "That's enough! What's the point of arguing here now? If we keep this up, we'll lose everything we have! Gloriana, I don't care what methods you use, you must win Dominic over within a month and force him to marry you. Otherwise, the Klein family is done for!"

Gloriana gritted her teeth and said, "Nothing has ever happened between Dominic and I. We didn't do anything when he brought me to that hotel room that night!"

Her family looked at her in disbelief. "What?"

Gloriana couldn't help but tell them the truth. "I had initially thought he was interested in me too, but that night, he just had me work overtime with him. I had to go through his documents for the entire night.

"Looking back now, it seems like he only did it for Bella to see it. Although he may have broken up with her, it seems... they never really ended things."

Her words shattered their hope, and they all parted unhappily.

After lunch, Dominic sent Bella back to her apartment. After she entered, he took away her keys and said, "Lend me your keys. I'll return them to you tonight."

Bella stood on her tiptoes, trying to snatch her keys back. However, she failed as he had lifted them high so that she couldn't reach them. "What are you planning to do with my keys?"

He quickly planted a kiss on her lips and said, "Just stay at home and wait for me to return."

She took a few steps back defensively and watched as he left with her keys. Without her keys, she didn't dare to leave as she would not be able to come into her home again.

At around 5:00 pm, Bella received a call from an unknown number. The number shown on her screen was weird, and it looked like the number had been deliberately hidden. There was a robotic woman's voice on the other end. "Is this Bella Jones speaking?"

Bella didn't know who was on the other end. She felt uneasy and confused. "That's me, and you are?"

The robotic voice held no emotions

as she said, "You don't need to know who I am. But you need to tell. Dominic to stay away from Victor. Victor

is a dangerous man. You must tell him that." Ebookex

With that said, the call ended abruptly. Bella wanted to call the person back, but she soon realized

the number had become a blank number. The whole situation felt weird and eerie.

Feeling anxious, she quickly called Dominic. "Where are you? Come over quickly. There's something I need to tell you."

Dominic said jokingly, "Do you miss me already? It's only been a few hours. Wait for me a while longer, and I'll go back and satisfy you."

She ignored his teases and said, "I'm not joking. It's about Victor."

Hearing Victor's name, Dominic immediately became somber and said, "I got it. I'll head over there now."
