Female Novel
Chapter 1009
Sensing the malice in Dominic's eyes, Mia tugged on his hand in a haste. She urged him not to act impulsively. She knew he adored her, always standing by her side whenever something happened. "Dominic, you don't have to intervene. I can settle such trivial matters on my own. As for issues related to Yellow Island, I'll have to ask for your help."
Seeing how unyielding she was, Dominic sighed. "Mia, I could've just gotten rid of these annoying people for you."
"I know you mean well, but you don't have to be directly involved in dealing with such trifles."
Dominic scoffed. "Fine. But tell me if Luna goes overboard. It's a piece of cake for me to have someone like her dealt with in Nord City."
"Sure, but letting her disappear so easily is too light of a punishment for her."
Mia didn't want to trouble Dominic. He was already swamped with work to begin with, and he had even more on his plate now after the Yellow Island incident. Raymond would likely seize the chance to pressure him by rallying the Yellow Islanders, after all.
Dealing with Luna was something she could handle on her own.
Furrowing his brows, Dominic was reluctant to comply. Mia tugged at his arm and cooed, "Dominic, please just agree with me."
His features finally softened. Feeling resigned, he began, "If you have time for this, you should've gone on a vacation abroad instead. Go see the aurora or surf by the beach."
"I'm already getting sick of it. I just want to deal with Luna personally."
"Does it really make a difference if I handle it in your stead?"
"It does. For the past few years, you've been worried that Timothy will find me. I kept a low profile instead, but everyone thought I was vulnerable. So, I'll have to act on this opportunity to prove to these people that the Lanes aren't to be messed with."
Finally, Dominic concurred. "Alright, I'll leave it to you. Just let me know if you need any men or funds."
"Alright."
Actually, Mia didn't lack money at all. Having established companies and projects over the years, she had filled her pockets to the brim.
Both of them returned to the dining room after their discussion was over.
The next day, Mia saw the headlines about Louisa being sent to jail. The news began circulating in the city.
Yellow Island had issued a
statement, accusing Nord City of arbitrarily detaining their people. Insinuating that the research
institute was being backed by el net
prominent figure, they demanded an explanation from the institute.
Turning the tables to their favor was naturally the Yellow Islanders' forte. With their implication, they meant to portray the research institute as an illegal establishment by alleging that the institute had arbitrarily detained their people.
It was truly in line with the Yellow Islanders' usual approach-hypocritical and shameless.
Mia immediately called Peyton. "Where's the video we have? Get the PR department to release it right away. We absolutely cannot let Yellow Island take control of the narrative." The Yellow Islanders had the gall to make such accusations because they thought Mia didn't have any evidence.
Or, they figured the institute wouldn't dare to offend them, so they chose to recede. Well, this might have worked for them in the past, but they've messed with the wrong person.
Soon, the video was uploaded to the
internet. As Louisa's audacious
speech was spread all over the

internet, it caused an instant sensation. The number of views skyrocketed, stirring public outrage.
