Chapter 1399
Their unabashed intimacy felt like a glaring thorn in Dominic’s eyes.
Especially when he noticed that this ethereally handsome man was wearing a suit whose color scheme, along with the patterns on the collar and cuffs, strikingly matched Serena’s dress.
It was practically p>
A couple’s outfit!
The realization made Dominic’s expression twist even further, a surge of
suppressed anger flashing in his eyes.
In his mind, he had already claimed Serena as his property.
Yet here she was, wearing a matching outfit with another man at such an event.
The two of them were flirting openly.
Wasn’t this a direct slap to his face?
Dominic’s face turned livid. He set his wine glass down heavily and raised his voice. “Who exactly are you p>
The Montgomery family really had been hidden for too long.
Any random stray dared to jump out and steal his woman?
“Oh my.” Jasper sauntered over to Nicholas, leaning his head close to him while staring directly at Dominic. He pointed at Nicholas. “I see the Montgomery family really has been living under a rock. You don’t even know who he is p>
“Do you know who this is p>
His sarcastic tone fanned the flames of Dominic’s rage, turning his gaze even colder. “I don’t care who he is. Outsiders have no right to interfere in the Montgomery family’s affairs p>
Outsiders?
The moment the word dropped.
The surrounding atmosphere grew intensely awkward.
Old Mr. Blackwood, who had been furious just moments ago, suddenly stopped being angry when he heard Dominic’s words.
He even let out a cold scoff, folding his arms like he was settling in for a good show.
Old Mr. Lancaster lifted an eyelid, staying silent.
Nicholas stood beside Serena, his expression completely unruffled.
He lowered his eyes and gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind Serena’s ear.
The motion was natural and intimate.
Coming from him, the scene looked incredibly picturesque, devoid of any sleaziness, but carrying a familiarity that no one else could intrude upon.
Dominic watched, the fire in his eyes burning hotter. “You p>
“An outsider?” The man’s lazy, deep voice cut him off with casual coldness.
He lazily lifted his gaze, his narrow, captivating eyes sweeping over indifferently.
It was a brief glance.
But it inexplicably sent a chill down Dominic’s spine.
“I am Nicholas Blackwood p>
Nicholas’s tone was flat, carrying a condescending dominance.
His introduction wasn’t ‘My name is Nicholas’, but ‘I am Nicholas p>
The difference in meaning was vast.
It was absolute confidence.
The confidence that the mere mention of his name demanded recognition.
And sure enough, when the name was spoken.
The cold arrogance on Dominic’s face froze.
Even Sebastian’s face drained of color.
Nicholas Blackwood.
The Crown Prince of Vaelion City’s Blackwood family.
Although his title was rooted in Vaelion City.
The Blackwood name commanded global terror.
The Montgomery family had been hidden for years, and Dominic might not have known Nicholas by face, but he knew exactly what that name Heant content belongs to
Whispers broke out in the crowd.
Though the voices were kept lomet every word pierced Dominic’s e
eardrums like needles.
“The Montgomery family really embarrassed themselves this time p>
“Hidden for so long they don’t even recognize Mr. Blackwood p>
“Tsk, tsk, the Montgomery family just kicked a steel plate p>
Dominic’s hands clenched tightly at his sides, his knuckles turning pale.
Unable to back down, he forced his voice to stay rigid, enunciating every word. “Even if you are Mr. Blackwood, it doesn’t mean you have the right to interfere in my conversation with Miss Lancaster. I Simply admire her and want to get t know her better. What does that have to do with you p>
