There was no way around it. With the Jensons facing a storm this heavy, Dominic, as the oldest son, could not leave Cetherland for Endralsia to follow through with his original plan.

If something happened to Blair while he was away, Dominic would carry the regret for the rest of his life. Russell’s mind was already too broken to bear the burden of Jenson Group. The only one left to shoulder it was Dominic.

If their enemies struck now, when they were already bleeding from every side, then even the most profitable victories overseas would count for nothing. A home torn apart here could not be replaced with triumphs abroad.

Dominic’s thoughts flickered to Tilda.

Master, if it were you in this position, you would make the same choice.

“We get it, Dominic!”

The moment he gave his orders and stood firm, Wade and the others finally let go of the breath they had been holding.

They had feared that after seeing Russell and Blair broken like this, Dominic might collapse

too.

If even he fell, then they would have nothing left to lean on.

Whenever the Jensons had stood on the edge of ruin, the one person who never faltered, the one who carried everything, was Dominic.

Among the siblings, he had always been their shield.

He had been their protector when they were children. He was their protector now. He would be their protector in every tomorrow that came.

They had not only been blessed with Russell and Blair as parents.

They also had Dominic, a brother who stood tall when the ground beneath them gave way.

Dominic’s voice carried both strength and regret. “I’m sorry, brothers. At a time like this, I can only leave Mom and Dad to you. There’s no one else I could trust with them.”

Howard pressed a steady hand onto Dominic’s shoulder. “Don’t apologize. You’ve taken on the heaviest responsibility, and we all know it. Our strength isn’t the same as yours, but we’ll do what we can. We’ll take care of Mom and Dad. You go handle Jenson Group. We’ll have your back here. You don’t need to worry.”

Dominic bit down on his lip, then nodded hard. “Howard, I’m counting on you.”

Santiago and Wade spoke together. “Go, Dominic!”

Just as Dominic turned to leave for Jenson Group, the sound of rushed footsteps filled the hall.

A man in uniform came quickly, his polished shoes striking the floor with sharp, steady rhythm.

“Excuse me. Which one of you is Russell Jenson?”

Dominic stepped forward without hesitation. “I’m his oldest son, Dominic. Officer, are you here about what happened to our mother?”

The officer shook his head. “We are here to arrest Jenson Group’s chairman, Russell Jenson. He is under suspicion of being involved in multiple bribery cases. He must come with us to the station for questioning.”

The words froze Dominic and his brothers in place.

Dominic’s voice rose, shaking. “What did you just say? No, that can’t be true! Officer, there must be a mistake! My father would never take bribes! He has always lived honest, always cared for this country. He has given so much to charity. He has lived with integrity. There is no way he would do something like this!”

The officer hesitated, his tone softening. “I’ve heard of Mr. Jenson’s reputation. But the law works based on evidence. We are here because there is both physical proof and witness testimony. Do not interfere. If he is innocent, the courts will clear his name.”

Evidence.

Witness testimony.

Dominic and his brothers stared, lost and reeling, unable to grasp it, but they could not stop the officer as he pulled out the arrest warrant.

At that moment, the door to the hospital room swung wide.

Russell came out, his body shaking as he pushed aside Justin and Kayden, who tried to hold him steady.

His clouded eyes sharpened with sudden clarity as he looked at the officers.

“I knew. I knew this day would come. I don’t know who set this trap, but I will work with the investigation. I’ll tell them everything I know.”
