Chapter 774
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
She couldnât fathom what methods the other woman had used to captivate Domenic so completely.
She must have been utterly unprincipled!
In Caroleâs eyes, Domenic said as if he would only love Lindsey for his life, oblivious to the fact that Carole had chosen him as her life partner.
She was firm in her belief that Domenic was meant to be hers and was ready to fight for him, whatever it took.
Back at his office, Domenic wasted no time in contacting Arturo, who was abroad on business.
Arturo had been away for weeks, working on expanding the companyâs reach internationally.
He greeted Domenic cheerfully upon answering.
âDomenic, whatâs up?
What brings me the pleasure of your call?â
As Domenic flipped through meeting notes, he asked, âHowâs our international expansion going? Whatâs the current situation?â
Full of enthusiasm, Arturo couldnât contain his excitement.
âYou owe me big time, Domenic.
Iâve been on this non-stop, day in, day out.
Iâm practically running on fumes hereâ¦â
Growing impatient, Domenic tapped his desk, urging, âFocus on the outcome, Arturo.
Whatâs the verdict?â
Arturo, though slightly annoyed, couldnât resist sharing the good news.
âWeâre making remarkable strides.
Weâve secured strategic alliances with several key economies.
Itâs as if the Vitality Group has nearly cornered the market.
â
Then, recalling another detail, Arturo chuckled mischievously.
âAnd your uncles? Weâve completely outmaneuvered them.
Theyâre trying to undercut us with a price war, hoping to poach our clientsâ¦â
Domenic listened, a rare smile breaking through as Arturo painted a vivid picture of their triumphs.
Curious, he mentioned, âYour uncle Rupert has been unusually quiet on the international front.
It seems heâs not prioritizing it, doesnât it?â
Domenicâs laughter had a cold edge.
His uncle Rupert was always scheming, and only time would reveal his next move.
Playing with a golden pen, Domenic pondered.
âThe fish is on the hook, prepare to reel it in.
â
âWhatâs our next move?â Arturo asked, signaling his team to get back to work.
Domenic spoke in a hushed tone, sharing his plans.
Arturo was taken aback by the severity of his friendâs intentions.
âYouâre going that hard on your own uncles?â
Domenicâs gaze turned sharp, his voice chilling.
âRemember what they put me through as a kid?â
Arturo knew all too well.
They had grown up together, and he was all too familiar with the contempt, neglect, and outright hostility Domenic had endured when he was young.
It was an offhand remark that didnât take Domenicâs feelings into account.
Realizing his mistake, Arturo quickly made amends.
âMy bad, my bad.
Theyâve got it coming.
