Chapter 404
Dominic's eyes settled on Vespera. His gaze was calm and unreadable. No one could tell what he was thinking.
"I slept well," answered Vespera lightly. She took the chance to avert her gaze naturally by grabbing tissues from
the coffee table.
She pulled a few out, then walked over and offered them to Dominic. She said, "You're soaked. You should wipe
away the water."
"Thank you," responded Dominic, taking the tissues and casually patting himself. Then, he walked over to the
couch and sat down.
Vespera went into the kitchen and returned with a pot of Earl Grey tea. She said, "Mr. Reid, have stea to
warm yourself up."
Vespera poured a cup and set it beside Dominic attentively.
At this time, Dominic was holding a tablet, scrolling through something. He glanced at the tea, then took a sip.
He said, "Ms. Gildon, you don't have to go out of your way. It's just a little rain. | won't catch a cold."
"Alright then," replied Vespera. She didn't say anything else. Anyway, she had done what she had to do.
She poured a second cup for herself and another for Calvert. She drank the tea sip by sip, while he downed his
tea in a single gulp. He opened his mouth to say something, but then stopped short, an idea lighting up his face.
Calvert said, "Vespera, you should tell Mr. Reid."
Vespera asked, "Tell him what?"
"That Nancy showed up again! You chased her off, didn't you?" Calvert asked. Vespera felt helpless. Putting her
cup down, she looked toward Dominic and said, "Ms. Acosta has indeed cby this morning. You were all
asleep. | cdownstairs to make something to eat, and she happened to show up at the door."
Dominic didn't react right away. A while later, he closed the tablet and looked at Vespera. He said calmly,
"Gerard already told me."
"That's great, then," replied Vespera.
After hearing their conversation, Calvert was confused. Was that it? Weren't they going to do something about
Nancy?
Calvert quickly said, "Mr. Reid, Nancy can't be trusted! You should chase her away! She's going to pull the same
stunt she did a few days ago and take over your place again. She won't stop bothering you, and it's clearly
making Vespera unhappy!"
In response, Dominic said, "Maybe you should tie her up and scare her a little. You can lock her in some
farmhouse in the countryside for a year, and let her out when she has calmed down."

Calvert and Vespera were stunned. A year? That sounded kind of extreme.
Calvert thought about the feasibility and responded, "A year is too long. Maybe we just lock her up until we leave
this place? | can go and grab srope now!"
He got up and dashed off, but then he froze.
Nancy was standing in the doorway, staring at Calvert. Calvert was shocked as he asked, "Why are you here? |
was just about to go and find you. Savesthe trip."
Nancy questioned, "Are you plotting to kidnap me?"
When Nancy was on the way here, she was in a good mood. However, when she arrived, the door wasn't closed.
So, she walked in only to overhear their conversation.
Vespera scratched her head. What a coincidence...
Why did Nancy happen to arrive now? Locking her up for a year was too extreme.
It was against the law. Nevertheless, Calvert wouldn't actually do such a thing.
"What are you doing here? You're such a stalker!" Calvert shouted directly.
Nancy walked over and asked, "I've already left Halewick, haven't I? Can't | travel with a friend? Am | not allowed
to revisit places now?"
"What a lexcuse," scoffed Calvert.
"It's the truth!" Nancy shouted.
The two were bickering again. And honestly, if someone handed Calvert a rope right now, he would probably tie
Nancy up himself and send her to a farmhouse.
"That's enough," said Dominic sharply.
It was only then that Calvert and Nancy stopped bickering.
Dominic turned to Nancy with a cold expression. He gave off a strong demeanor, which made her shudder. He
asked, "Are you really this bored?" Nancy stammered, "I..."
Dominic cut her off and said, "If you're so free, I've got something for you to do. Take care of it."
Nancy was taken aback. He wanted her to run errands for him? Was he trying to send her away on purpose? She
questioned, "What is it? Feed sheep at that farmhouse?"
Dominic's gaze deepened as he responded, "I'll tell you when you're in the car. So, are you going or not?"
Nancy clenched her fists and said, "Fine. But | want something in return. When | get back, you have to
accompanyfor a day."
"It's a deal," replied Dominic without hesitation. Then, he turned to Calvert and said, "Get a car and a driver.
She's leaving now."
Nancy was at a loss for words. On the other hand, Calvert was elated. He bolted to get things ready. As
expected, Dominic was awesome.

15 minutes later, the car arrived. Nancy hopped in, half-expecting to be dumped at sfarmhouse and have to
plan an escape. As long as she could return, Dominic had to carry out the deal.
However, as the car started moving, she got a message from Dominic. It was an address. It wasn't a farmhouse,
though. It was a castle.
Back at the villa, Vespera was still deep in thought.
She had a feeling that wasn't just a
trick to get Nancy out of the house.
There was sactual task behind
it. Since Nancy noid

upstairs. She watched him leave. He

In the evening, the maid made dinner.
Calvert, trying to be helpful, nudged Vespera to call Dominic down. He wanted to make up for earlier.
Vespera was about to do that anyway. After all, it was part of her job. She decided to call Gerard as well.

"Mr. Reid, are you not eating with us tonight?" Vespera asked.
"A friend invitedto dinner. All of you should go ahead without me," answered Dominic.
