Chapter 108
Dominic answered the call. At the same time, he waved dismissively at the executives, who always showed off their experience while forming diques with each
other.
These executives hurriedly left the office as if someone had cast them a lifeline. They might need a ventilator if they stayed one more second in the office.
These executives suddenly realized that Dominic, who had been living abmad, might have been lying low the entire time. He was probably waiting for the right
time to strike.
Dominic wasn’t just a pretty face without any real talent. He didn’t just leverage his family background and resources to achieve success in Ameridia.
The executives thought they barely had to lift a finger to control Dominic. In the end, their assumptions had backfired badly.
Feeling dazed, Gerard stood in a comer of the office. Hetelt as if he were in a dream.
“Ms. Gildon, what’s going on?” Dominic held the phone to his ear, sounding as nonchalant as ever.
Vespera explained, “So, I’m scheduled to start work the day after tomorrow. Although my leg has recovered, I have something to handle and need to go to my grandma’s house.. I would like to take another week off.”
Vespera sounded as calm as usual on the phone. If Dominic hadn’t been paying attention, he wouldn’t have realized something was amiss. But he knew that she was merely holding on.

“I’ll take five days off…”
“You’r not allowed to even take half a day off. I expect to see you the day after tomonow in the moming.”
Vespera was silent for a moment. She seemed to deflate like a balloon, and her voice sounded disheartened,
“I’m sorry. I never expected getting a divorce would be

“Please give me another five days I’ll definitely handle may issues properly. Otherwise.
Dominic asked, “Otherwise?”
“Even you’ll be criticized.
Almost three hours had passed since things started escalating. The chances of Dominic not knowing were very slim. Vespera wasn’t certain she could turn the public’s opinion around within two days.
i would increase.
If she were to show up at Tavian Group, she would always be seen with Dominic. The rumors surrounding him ‘Oh, so that’s what you’re worried about.”
Dominic suddenly understood what was going on and no longer pursued the topic. Instead, he asked curiously, “So, how will you handle it? Do you have a plan?” Vespera paused before simply saying, “I’ll fight to get a negotiation”
Dominic sighed, sounding conflicted. “Ms. Gildon, you’re scaring me.”
Vespers explained, “I’m not usually be this, but they’ve gone too far. I’ve no choice but to bite ba

Vespera was speeriders
“You’re a smart cookie. I’m sure you know that the Sowles are the ones who pushed Felicia into hosting the press conference. What makes you think you can duallenge two prominent families in Halewick?”
“I have a plan,” Vespero retorted stubbornly.
“Vespera, it’s good to be brave, but courage can’t replace strength. You’ll be walking into the lion’s den alone.

“I must take the mastermind down even if I have to sacrilice myself. We could all go down together!” As soon as Vespera blurted out those words, she she had been blabbering ngaily without giving it any thought,
Dominic’s expression grew solemn Eventhough the phone, Vespera could sense his displeasure. Knowing that he was angry, she tried to make up for it, saying. I’m sorry I shouldn’t have said such foolish thing
Donnie’s scowl eased slightly. “Since you work for me and represent me, I’ll take care of you. Come to work on time, and I’ll think of something for you. What do you think?”
HA voice sounded convincing.
