Chapter 698

Can’t it manage one evening without you? Carole just got back.

Spend some time with her!”

Feeling cornered, Domenic sought Carole’s support.

She caught on and reassured, “Domenic is the CEO of Vitality Group and is often busy.

We have plenty of time ahead.

He can join me when he’s free.

Tonight, I’d like to spend time catching up with you.

Please, allow him to leave.

”

Jordan’s expression softened towards Carole.

Just as he was about to respond, a distinctive ringtone cut through the room.

Both turned their gaze sharply towards him just as Domenic’s phone buzzed.

They observed that this ringtone differed from Domenic’s previous ones.

He briefly checked his phone then dismissed the call nonchalantly.

Jordan asked, “Who was that? Why ignore the call?”

“It’s Arturo.

He’s probably calling to invite me out for drinks this late,” Domenic replied.

At the mention of Arturo, Jordan gave Domenic an exasperated look and said, “I’ve noticed you’ve been giving Arturo a lot of the international projects lately.

He’s the young Yates family heir who made a sensation over some woman.

Can you really rely on him? I’ve heard your uncles are abroad these days.

Why don’t you consider…”

“Grandpa.

Arturo is like a brother to me, and I trust him,” Domenic cut in, his voice was calm.

“Just because he’s like a brother to you, does that mean your uncles aren’t your family?” Jordan stared at his grandson, whose expression had turned stern.

It was well-known that Domenic harbored deep resentment towards his uncles, leading to frequent conflicts and confrontations.

When he was young, Jordan was sharp and decisive, distinguishing right from wrong with ease.

He had once dealt sternly with his sons for harming Domenic and later sought to make amends by bestowing upon Domenic a significant share of the Walsh Group.

As he grew old, he often yearned for his family to be united.

He was hopeful that Domenic would reconcile with his uncles, dreaming they’d work together to elevate the Walsh Group’s prestige.

Yet, Domenic was convinced his uncles would never support him; he believed they wished for his death.

Facing Jordan, Domenic said softly, “Grandpa, as I’ve always said, you’re the only family that I have.

”

“Domenic.

” Jordan let out a deep sigh.

“It’s been a long time, and your uncles are aware of their mistakes.

Please, let go of your anger towards them.

Forgive them.

”

Domenic’s face contorted into a mocking sneer, as if he had heard the funniest joke.

Forgive? Impossible!

They had locked him in a cellar, nearly leading to his death.

Then, they sent him to a mental institution, from which he narrowly escaped with his life.

Even if he could overlook these grievances, he would never forgive them for the death of his parents!

Once he returned to Walsh Group, Domenic launched an investigation into his parents’ fatal car crash.

Gradually, a shocking truth was uncovered – the vehicle had been sabotaged, causing the tragedy.
