Chapter 199
Deinie was overjoyed. Just a moment ago, she ran into Dominic, who was preparing to change clothes on the corridor. To her astonishment, this rascal of a son solemnly informed her that tonight he had also brought his girl along….
Deinie was so angry that she almost exploded. She sternly warned him, “Dominic, if you dare to let that woman enter our house, I won’t be around when she’s here, and she won’t be around when I am!”
Dominic, however, remained unperturbed and smiled, “Mom, if she enters, it will be the Campbell family’s door, not the McLore family’s.”
Deinie was speechless at his response, glaring at him with clenched teeth.
What a rebellious son!
She poured a glass of champagne and walked away angrily, unexpectedly bumping into Jane! Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Ah, this was perfect! The little princess had arrived. It seemed even the heavens were helping her! Deinle grabbed Jane’s hand, showing a loving auntie smile, and looked her up and down. “Jane, you look really beautiful today! This outfit suits you and complements your temperament!”
Jane smiled shyly. “My boyfriend picked it for me.”.
Deinie instantly frowned, thinking to herself: “Boyfriend? What a tasteless choice, lacking in refinement!”
But soon she put on a smile again and said, “By the way, Jane, are you here for an interview? Well, let me take you to meet the person I want to introduce you to!”
Jane’s mind was a bit confused. So this was the address her Aunt Deinic had written for her…
Since she could attend this banquet, it meant she had connections with the four major families. Maybe she knew Dominic’s mother too?
Jane furrowed her brows, feeling something strange in her heart.
Just as she was lost in thought, Aunt Deinie pulled her and was about to walk away.
“Auntie, I…”
“Hurry, hurry!” Deinie urged anxiously, I just saw that person. Let’s go find him quickly before he runs away!”
“But I’m waiting for someone here,” Jane looked at her with hesitation.
Deinie was taken aback. She couldn’t stand to see the little princess in distress, so after a moment of consideration, she said, “Alright, you wait here, and I’ll go get him!”
Saying that, the put down her champagne glass and swiftly walked into the crowd on her high heels.
Jane stood there waiting, surrounded by a pleasant atmosphere of laughter and conversation. The sound of a melodious violin perfectly complemented the ambiance of the courtyard.
She looked around, guessing that Dominic should be almost done changing. She was thinking about how to explain the situation with Auntie Deinle when a sharp voice came from not far away.
“Oh, Jane Fallon is here too?”
Jane looked up and saw a woman in a glamorous outfit, wearing exquisite makeup and exuding an imposing aura.
She was the same woman Jane encountered at the door of the house last time.
The one who had a close relationship with Dominic since childhood. Jane pursed her lips and smiled politely, “Miss Miranda, hello.”
Miranda was somewhat surprised. “You know who I am?”
“I do,” Jane looked at her, “Dominic mentioned you to me.”
Miranda was briefly taken aback, her gaze filled with doubt. “He… actually mentioned me to you?” Jane didn’t deny it.
At this moment, Miranda seemed to breathe a sigh of relief in her heart. This meant she still held some significance in Dominic’s heart… After all, it was the Campbell and Yeager alliance. No matter how unwilling Dominic might be, he couldn’t defy the entire family!
Thinking this, Miranda proudly curled her lips, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
“Since you know about my relationship with Dominic, is it appropriate for you to appear here today?”
Jane smiled without saying a word.
Miranda approached her, feeling a little uneasy about Jane’s serene and elegant temperament. The innate nobility emanating from her made Miranda somewhat doubtful.
This Jane… Isn’t she an illegitimate child? Moreover, she comes from a small place like Coltsvoc Countryside.
And she, the precious daughter of the Yeager family in the central city, how could she possibly lose to Jane in terms of aura!
“I know you met Dominic in Coltsvor Countryside,” Miranda cleared her throat, “He was recuperating in Coltsvoc Countryside at that time, and you ended up together by coincidence.” She stared at Jane intently, Jane, you are a smart person. Why don’t you think about why Dominic didn’t tell you that he already had me, his fiance, in the central city?”
“Fiance?” Jane raised an eyebrow, “You mean you and Dominic have an engagement?”
Miranda raised her voice, “This is an unspoken agreement between the Campbell and Yeager families!”
Jane smiled gently and said, “Miss Miranda, I’m not well-versed in such matters as ‘unspoken agreements”,”
“I think, since both families approve and understand each other’s intentions, and Dominic doesn’t object, why is it ‘unspoken? If there was no agreement,” it means both families still have concerns about this marriage alliance.”
“Or perhaps,” Jane looked into her eyes and emphasized each word, “Dominic doesn’t acknowledge
it at all!”
“You…” Miranda’s face turned red and white alternately.
Jane lifted her hand to adjust her hair, and the large emerald on her ring finger exuded an extraordinary sense of luxury and love, stinging Miranda’s eyes.
She was itching to vent her hatred, but she knew she couldn’t show it on her face. After all, this was the White family’s place, and causing a scene with Jane here would damage the Yeager family’s reputation.
Besides, Dominic was also present, and she couldn’t let him think she was a shrew.
Miranda suppressed her jealousy and reluctantly forced a smile. “Miss Fallon is indeed eloquent. No

wonder Dominic likes you.”
“But some things won’t change just because Dominic likes you.” Miranda sneered, “He represents the entire Campbell family, and his marriage is closely linked to the Campbell family’s interests!” Jane lowered her gaze and gently caressed the emerald on her hand.
“Don’t think that exchanging rings with him means you can privately bind him to you and become part of the Campbell family. Miss Fallon, it’s not that easy to enter the Campbell family…” Miranda leaned in closer and whispered, “But I can see that you really like Dominic, and having you around. can keep him in check, which is better than him messing around with other people.”
Jane looked coldly at her. “What do you mean by that?”
On the other side, Assistant Henry Finn walked ahead as if he were being coerced, with Deinie closely following behind him.
Assistant Henry didn’t dare to turn around because doing so would meet Miss Deinie’s piercing and sinister eyes.
Who dared to disturb Third Master Campbell while he was changing clothes?
But this biological mother was someone Assistant Henry Finn couldn’t afford to provoke either…
In his heart, Assistant Finn sighed countless times, stopping in front of a room and forcing a smile at Miss Deinie. “Madam Deinie, this… is it.”
“Haven’t changed yet?”
“I should be done soon.”
Deinie knocked on the door directly, “Dominic, stop dawdling! Come out quickly and go with me to meet someone!”
Dominic opened the door abruptly and felt a headache when he saw his mother.
“Mom, can’t you give up on this? How many times do I have to tell you? I’m not interested in the person you mentioned!”
“Interest can be cultivated!” Deinie insisted, “When you were a child, besides eating, what else were you interested in? Didn’t I teach you everything step by step and give others the illusion of natural
talent…”
“Mom, you!”
“Hurry up and come with me!”
Dominic’s face darkened. “I’m going to the bathroom!”
Deinie yelled, “Hold it in!”
On the side, Assistant Finn couldn’t hold back anymore and laughed twice before quickly shutting up.
“Dominic, if you dare to go to the bathroom, I’ll take that girl to the bathroom to find you! Deal with it yourself!”
After saying that, Deinie turned around and left.
Dominic glared at her back, his face almost turning purple.
“Young Master, it’s not a big deal to meet her,” Assistant Finn reminded in a low voice, “Don’t forget, Miss Fallon is going to meet Madam Deinie tonight. It’s best not to clash with your family’s matriarch now… Go for the sake of Miss Fallon!”

Actually, Dominic thought the same way.
It would be better to meet the person and clarify things directly, rather than dragging it on like this.
“Alright, I’ll go now.” He said in a deep voice. “You go find Jane. Don’t let her wait anxiously. Take her to the room to wait, or call my sister, Linda to accompany her.”
“And… under no circumstances should you reveal to her who I’m meeting. Understand?”
