“You’re not aware?”
Although Dominic hardly left home, he might have learned about what happened through others. He still had his eyes and ears.
“A young man who shares your family name claimed that he’s your last student and has been telling everyone about it.”
“My family name? A young man?”
He thought for a moment. “Are you talking about that brat, Austin Fike?”
Lily widened her eyes to look at Dominic. ‘Aha, he does know about him!’
