Chapter 165

As soon as Dominic made his entrance, the atmosphere in the meeting room shifted.

Benedict, who had maintained a stiff and solemn expression, seemned to relax a little at the sight of his

grandson.

“Dominic, you’re back?” he asked.

Dominic nodded. “Yes, Grandfather.”

Benedict raised his chin, gesturing for him to take a seat. However, Dominic had other plans. He

strolled to the center of the meeting room and stood there, his intense gaze sweeping over everyone’s

faces. His presence alone exuded power and authority, leaving everyone in the room breathless.

Edward stared at him in a daze, his mouth twitching slightly as he forced out a smile.

“Dominic, why did you come back? Edward asked.

“It seems that my uncle doesn’t want to welcome me?” Dominic smirked, his tone playful yet cutting.

“How could that be! I was just…” Edward stammered, trying to come up with an excuse.

“Just afraid that I would steal you and my elder brother’s limelight, am I right?” Dominic continued, not

giving Edward a chance to explain further.

Edward’s face turned pale with anger as he fixed his triangular eyes on him. Dominic walked over

nonchalantly, glanced at where Edward was sitting, and chuckled, “It seems that you have been sitting

in the wrong seat. This one is mine.”

“You…” Edward was taken aback, unable to find the right words to respond.

“While I may lack the ability to raise funds, there is no need for you to worry about the funds.” Dominic’s

gaze was profound as he enunciated each word. “I’ve already taken care of it!”

Edward felt incredulous. Such a huge amount of money, besides relying on their grandfather, how else

could he have solved it?

And Benedict loathed having outsiders interfering in Campbell Family affairs the most.

Edward forced a smile and saw a perfect opportunity to sow discord between the grandfather and his

grandson.

“Heh, did you use the money from the UK again? Dominic, I’m not saying this about you, but no matter

what you do, you are surnamed Campbell, and whatever you do, the interests of the Campbell Family

should come first!” Edward exclaimed.

“Although it’s your grandfather’s family over there, they are still outsiders. Isn’t it inappropriate for them

to get involved in our family affairs? If the Campbell Family has to borrow money from outsiders, what

face will we have left?” he continued.

Dominic, with one hand in his trouser pocket, casually adjusted his tie, his indifferent gaze revealing a

hint of disdain

“Is Uncle worried that my grandfather will also get a share of the pic?” He quipped.

“Hub, I didn’t say that! But it’s essential to be cautious, who in the world would think they have too

much money…” Edward swered, continuing to put on an act.

Benedict’s expression grew more and more unpleasant, and Edward secretly laughed.

“Dad, I’m not opposing Dominic, but this land involves government projects. If we inject foreign capital

without authorization, I’m afraid it won’t be acceptable to the higher–ups!”

“Besides, our Kevin has some connections in the official circles!” Edward’s eyes and nose were almost

squeezed together from his exaggerated smile. “If you entrust the Western Suburb land project to both

of us, it will be absolutely fine!”

The shareholders began to discuss in low voices, leaning towards Edward’s viewpoint. Dominic

remained calm and composed, his sharp face showing a faint, nonchalant smile.

Benedict Campbell, still the patriarch with the final say, spoke with a deep, cold voice, “The Western

Suburb land project involves a large amount of money and numerous stakeholders. It needs careful

consideration. I can’t trust it to just one person”

“Kevin and Dominic are both outstanding; they should cooperate on this project for the benefit of the

group!” Benedict declared.

“Dad, this…”

“No need to cooperate; I can handle it alone!”

Both Edward and Dominic interjected. The deep and chilling tone made everyone shiver slightly and

many people watched the confrontation between the two people with anticipation.

Benedict looked at Dominic and lowered his voice, Dominic, your uncle makes sense. Always relying

on funds from England isn’t suitable!”

“It’s my own money.” Dominic smiled and gestured with his eyes for Henry to distribute the documents.

The shareholders were surprised to see the comprehensive and detailed business plan, with ample

sources of funds from Deborah and Lebron, no companies!

Deborah and Lebron had recently gone public, and they had transformed into dark horses in the stock

market, continuously hitting the daily limit.

No one had expected that the big loss behind these two companies was the current Third Young

Master of the Campbell Family!

“If I’m not mistaken,” Dominic looked at Edward with a half–smile, “didn’t Uncle inquire a few days ago,

wanting to meet the bosses of these two companies?

“You you…” Edward was left speechless, unable to say a word.

In addition to these two companies, there was also an investment company listed on the documents,

and their brilliant resume detailed their involvement in several successful acquisitions.

Dominic said solenudy. “I have already obtained the qualifications for bidding, and winning the bid is

just a formality. All the procedures for transferring the Western Suburb land have been handled in

secret, and in three days, the official announcement will state that I’m the winning bidder!”

“Uncle, this and is mine now.” Dominic coklly chuckled. “If you and Kevin are willing to work for me, I

can arrange a position for you in the project!”

“Dominier Edward’s face turned as red as a beet, and he gritted his teeth while looking at him,

breathing heavily.

Dominic locked eyes with him, his gaze as cold and fierce as a vicious wolf.

“Dominic,” Edward took a deep breath. “How you’ve hidden things very well! Not only are you Hidden in

these aspects, but even your Identity can be concealed as well. No wonder some people still refuse to

forgive you…”

“Uncle, you have always remembered your own identity as a Campbell.” Dominic sneered. So, is that

how you’ve used the Campbell Family’s name to collude with illegal organizations overseas?” “What

are you saying?” Benedict’s eyebrows furrowed, and he looked sternly at Edward.

*If so, Grandfather, how did my uncle manage to have the money to bid for this land?‘ Dominic

slammed a document on the table.

“All these years, my uncle’s investments have failed one after another, but in front of Grandfather, he

had only reported good news and rides the had ones under the rugs. Do you really think no one knows

about these shady dealings that caused the Campbell Corporation to lose so much money?” Cold

sweat broke out on Edward’s forehead, and he slumped in his chair.

Benedict quickly skimmed through the documents and finally held the paper in his trembling hand.

Edward was about to explain, but Benedict suddenly threw all the documents in his face!

“Useless rubbish!”

“Dad”

“From today onwards, you won’t sit in the position of vice president anymore!” Benedict roared. “My

Campbell Corporation will never tolerate a waste like you who eats inside and out!”

The meeting room seemed to be shrouded in low pressure, and everyone stared blankly at the scene

before them, so nervous that they could only hear their own heartbeat.

Edward’s face was pale, and he stared at Dominic as if he had seen a ghost, heavily gasping for

breath.

“Grandfather, let me help you back to rest. Dominic lightly hooked his lips. “There’s no need to discuss

the rest of the matters anymore!”

Benedict frowned and nodded in agreement.

Back at the old Campbell Estate, Henedict leaned against the wide chair back, and Dominic stood

before him. Benedict looked at him proudly. This was truly the heir he had personally cultivated. In front

of the entire board of directors, he exposed Edward and boldly declared that he had successfully bid for

the land. This series of actions left Benedict somewhat confused.

But Dominic was usually deep and steady, not the kind of person who would resort to such aggressive

measures.

“Dominic,” Benedict asked in a hoarse voire, “Are you still hiding something from me? With his actions

earlier, Benedict had already hunched that all the things that has happened before his eyes earlier

would not come without a catch, especially when he nectired how his grandson handled it.

Dominic hesitated for a moment, then honestly replied, “Yes.”

“What else? Just tell me.”

Dominic pursed his lips, his gaze firm, and every word resonated with determination.

“I want to make a deal with you, Grandfather, using this piece of land and the companies in my hands!”
