Chapter 84
Scott could hardly retain his composure.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, “Mr. Sinclair, you hurt Layla. You’re not worthy to see her. What qualifications do you have to say that you treat her well?
“Layla and I have an engagement. She will marry me. You are just the third party.” NôvelDrama.Org content.
Ethan frowned slightly, saying, “Scott, what you said is not quite right. Precisely, you haven’t divorced yet. How do you have the never to say that? You are two–timing Layla,”
Scott was suddenly speechless, and a hint of chill flashed across his eyes. “Ethan, are you truly treating me this way? Are you protecting this
man who once hurt your sister?”
Ethan’s face darkened. “I’m just telling you what I saw. Dominick has saved Layla’s life, and you haven’t divorced yet.”
As long as Ethan mentioned that he hadn’t divorced yet, Scott was speechless
Scott was unconvinced, but he didn’t know how to refute it.
He glanced at Dominick meaningfully, saying coldly, “Time will prove who treats Layla well”
After that, Scott turned and left.
He took Lola away.
“Don’t you think there’s something wrong with Scott?” Dominick’s face was cold, dripping with displeasure.
Ethan was confused, saying, “He’s probably just jealous. What else could be wrong?”
Dominick sat up from the hospital bed and got out of bed despite the pain. “Why did he suddenly appear here? Why wasn’t he surprised by what you just said?
“You said just now that I saved Lola’s life, but Scott was not at all curious about how I saved her, let alone what danger Lola had suffered
before.”
Ethan paused for a moment and immediately understood what Dominick meant.
“So you suspect that Scott…sent these killers?” He lowered his voice and asked.
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere tensed.
Dominick frowned slightly, “I am not sure, but from Scott’s reaction, it didn’t seem like he just knew that Lola was in danger. Instead, he seemed to have already known everything.”
Ethan thought what Dominick said made sense, so he nodded slightly and said, “Right. If it were before, Scott would have been concerned about what danger Layla encountered.
“However, if it was him, what was his purpose? These killers were so cruel, and they must have wanted to kill Layla. Judging from the present condition, Scott may not want to do anything to harm Layla.”
But what was the
purpose of doing that?
Scott was jealous of Dominick and couldn’t wait to marry Lola, so he would definitely not hurt Lola.

“Did Henry get any information?”
Ethan could only place his hope on Dominick
“No. You’d better keep an eye on Scott recently. He is not as simple as he seems to be.”
“Layla, why do you get close to Dominick?”
Finally, Scott couldn’t help but break the twenty minutes of silence in the car.
Lola was distracted when she heard this. She looked at Scott, saying, “Mr. Sinclair got injured because of me, so it’s normal for me to stay and
take care of him.”
From the moment she got in the car, Lola was distracted. It made Scott feel more and more jealous.
Scott put on the brakes suddenly and looked at Lola.
“Layla, tell me, have you changed? Do you like Dominick? You have been thinking about him since just now, right?”
Lola almost hit the windshield. She finally managed to stabilize herself before being questioned by Scott.
“No.” She frowned slightly. “Scott, what are you doing? Do you know it was very dangerous just now?”
gentle, elegant, and composed. However, he would get so excited whenever anything related to Dominick
In her eyes, Scott had always been gentle was mentioned.
Scott had not yet calmed down, and he had a straight face.
“Layla, don’t try to change the topic. Are you already interested in Dominick?”
Lola thought it was quite baffling that Scott said this.
“I really d didn’t. He saved me. Do I have to act as if nothing happened?
“Scott, you were not like this before. Why do you lose your temper so easily
ily now?”
Scott was stunned. Lola seemed to be no longer as easy
easy to control as he imagined. She actually had the trend t
to resist him.
He suppressed the displeasure and forced a smile, saying, “Layla, I’m not angry with you, I’m just reminding you not to trust strangers casually.
“Dominick saved you, and you think he is your savior, but have you ever thought about why he suddenly appeared in such a remote place where you were in danger?”
Scott tried to mislead Lola’s thoughts and destroy Dominick’s image in her mind so that she would no longer trust Dominick so much.

Lola froze, and she slowly looked up at Scott with a look of shock on her
Scott breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, Judging from her expression, she must have begun to believe my words!
After a long while, Lola said in a solemn tone, “Scott, I haven’t told you where I encountered danger. How did you know that the place was remote? And how did you know that Dominick saved me?”
Scott froze instantly upon hearing this.
Lola’s surprise and doubts just now were actually not because of Dominick but because of him.
She had already begun to doubt Scott.
Such a situation had never happened before. Generally, Lola would treat everything he said as the truth.
Lola was really different from when she had just lost her memory.
In fact, Scott didn’t notice that Lola’s tone, attitude, and thoughts as she talked to him were changing every day.
If this continued, Lola would become what she was before one day, and she would most likely fall in love with Dominick again.
Scott began to panic.
“Layla, are you doubting me? When we were in the ward, Ethan mentioned that Dominick saved your life, so it must be because you were in danger.
“When nobles are in danger, they are most likely attacked outside. Those bad guys did that just for money, so I speculated about that. You’re looking at me like this. Do you suspect that this matter has something to do with me?”

with Scott’s words. Lola didn’t really doubt Scott when she said those sharp words. It was just a subconscious
Lola thought she had hurt Scott’s heart just now, so she felt a little guilty.
“I’m sorry, Scott. I didn’t doubt you. I just said it casually.
“Don’t mind, I didn’t mean that.”
Scott’s kindness to her was a memory engra
