Chapter 97 Severe Mysophobia

Her face remained the same, but her actions and demeanor were completely different. To defeat an enemy, you have to know everything about them. Tilda’s computer skills and her close relationship with Andy were things that Dominic had never known about. He had to find out what other tricks this "enemy" was hiding. Only then could he truly destroy Tilda and ensure she would never return.

Tilda caught on to Dominic’s probing. Her eyes held nothing but contempt. In her last life, Dominic never managed to uncover who Tilda really was. Back then, Tilda was just a lap dog for the Jensons, with her emotions tied to their every mood. If Dominic had just tried to understand her a little, Tilda would have foolishly told him everything. But this time was different.

To Dominic, it was their first meeting. To Tilda, she had already figured out exactly what kind of man he was. He wasn’t worthy of knowing her secrets, and he wasn’t capable of figuring them out!

“Dominic, you’ll die too. But someone like you only belongs in hell. Don’t you dare say those words to me when you’ve never truly died once!”

Dominic’s eyebrows furrowed. Why… He felt Tilda’s words had a deeper meaning, as if she really had died once. It was like she’d already lived through a despair worse than hell—that’s what gave birth to the Tilda standing before him now, and that’s why she was ruthless and unyielding.

Before Dominic could think about it more, Tilda suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs, "Help! There’s a pervert peeking into the women’s restroom! Help me!”

Even Dominic hadn’t expected her to pull something like that after saying such harsh words. For a moment, he just froze. Her shout instantly drew a crowd.

“Where’s the pervert?” “How dare he peek into the women’s restroom? This is a courthouse!” “He’s got some guts!”

In no time, a group of people had blocked off the restroom. When they saw Dominic, they were taken aback. Some of them didn’t recognize him, didn’t know this striking man was the CEO of the Jenson Group, the heir of one of the most powerful families around. But just from his face and the aura he gave off… he didn’t look like the kind of guy who’d peek into women’s restrooms.

You can’t judge a book by its cover!

“Tilda–you?!” Dominic’s face darkened as he glared at her. “You have no shame, but I do!”

For Dominic, a stain like this was absolutely unacceptable. He had a severe mysophobia; no one outside his family was allowed to touch his things, and that included his honor, dignity, and reputation! This damned Tilda had the audacity to lie so brazenly! Daphne was right. Blair should never have brought Tilda back. A girl who’d been missing for 19 years and lived a hard life was already tainted to the core. It was impossible to change her. She was a liar! Trash from the streets with no real upbringing.

Tilda was yelling that Dominic was peeking into the women’s restroom. This would not only bring shame to him but also to her! Didn’t she have any shame?

“Help! He’s a pervert!”

Dominic panicked—really panicked. Tilda covered her face and ran out of the women’s restroom, leaving Dominic trapped by the crowd with an ashen face.

The moment she was out of the women’s restroom, Tilda’s expression changed. Humming a little tune, she strolled toward the waiting room. Tilda knew a man like Dominic—who appeared so noble, low-key, and untouchable—had a major weakness. His severe mysophobia meant he couldn’t tolerate any kind of stain on his reputation! Something like this… Even if Dominic could easily resolve it, it would still feel like swallowing a cockroach.

“Tilda!” Andy walked over to her. “What took you so long in the restroom? I was worried about you.”

Tilda winked at Andy. “Don’t worry. Something fun happened.”

“Oh? Spill it…”

Seeing Tilda so happy, it was clear that one of her enemies had just been played. How could he miss out on the good gossip?

When it was time for the trial, Tilda and Russell took their places at the plaintiff’s and defendant’s stands. The lawyers, Andy, and Rose were already in position. This case was being handled quietly, with no jury. The only audience was Dominic.

And that only audience… showed up late. Rose and Russell both frowned slightly. The trial was about to begin, and they had no idea where Dominic had gone. When they called him, Dominic said he had something to take care of but would be there on time. Since he’d said that, they couldn’t push him further, but he was still nowhere to be found.

Dominic was never late; something must have happened!
