Then she said, "I'm not acting. It’s just that if I don't do this, I won't be able to see you at all."
"So, what if you see me? Are you still acting coy in front of me?" Dominic did not care at all, and there was even a hint of hatred in his eyes.
If…
It was not because of Kyla…
He and Penelope would not come to this point.
Kyla's tears fell instantly. She reached out to pull Dominic's arm, but the man threw her hand away.
She could not help but laugh at herself.
"Why? Can’t you even touch me? But... you forgot, your family will always owe the Mendez family, and you will owe our family your whole life."
Dominic's hands clenched silently.
That's it.
He could not argue with that.
Kyla relied on this to keep him under control.
“Words that have been said too many times would tend to lose its meaning.”
Dominic said coldly, with a warning in his words.
Kyla seemed to be risking everything. "So... I think this should be the last time I say these words. Dominic, let's make a deal."
Speaking of which…
She lowered his voice.
She said in a tone that only two people could hear clearly, "I know that you don't want to owe the Mendez family anymore, so make up for it all at once! Get me out. I don't want to stay in prison anymore. Give me back my life and the Mendez family and the Archer family will be reconciled."
This condition…
…Was really tempting.
"Dominic, you can think about it carefully. This is just a small matter for you and the Archer family. You just need to find an excellent lawyer to overturn the case for me and let me go out early."
"Huh! Let you go out and continue doing those shameful things?" Dominic only felt that it was ironic!
Kyla shook her head. "No. I just want to live well. After I get out, I will leave Seattle and start over. I will never appear in front of you again. I will make it possible for you and Penelope to live and stay together. I just ask you to give me a way to survive."
"I'm telling you, stop dreaming. If you don't think ten years of prison life is enough, then I will have people collect evidence and give you a little more time to serve in jail."
"You will spend the rest of your life in prison."
He was finished speaking.
Dominic loosened his hand and wiped it vigorously, as if Kyla was something dirty.
Kyla's expression instantly turned ferocious.
She rushed forward and grabbed him. "Dominic, are you really that cruel?"
"Isn't our friendship for so many years not as good as what you have with Penelope?"
"Have you forgotten what you once said?"
"Or is it because that woman bewitched you and made you so heartless?"
"I’m telling you, wait until I get out! I will definitely cut her into pieces."
