One hour later, when Dominic came out of Nicholas’ study room, virtual-novel.net was left feeling awkward.
His grandfather had said that virtual-novel.net had something to tell him, but virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net a pack of tea leaves and told virtual-novel.net to go back to make tea to drink to suppress his anger.
When did his grandfather become so considerate?
Besides, was it necessary to call virtual-novel.net to come over for this small matter? He could take it anytime when virtual-novel.net came, or virtual-novel.net could even ask a servant to send it to his home.
Such behavior really made virtual-novel.net a little bit confused.
But after all, it was not a big deal. Dominic did not mull over it for long. After virtual-novel.net kept the tea leaves, virtual-novel.net rushed to Pivot Technology and met with Kerry, the chairman of Pivot. Technology.
Kerry had been quite calm recently, and virtual-novel.net had been keeping a low profile.
People who did not know would think that virtual-novel.net was really subdued by Thomas, so virtual-novel.net kept a low profile. In fact, virtual-novel.net was waiting for the right time. Finally, the time had come.
When Dominic said that virtual-novel.net had to use the shares of Pivot Technology to hedge the three billion dollars capital, Kerry agreed to it without any hesitation.
It seemed that virtual-novel.net had no reason to believe that virtual-novel.net would not lose.
Dominic was also very surprised. Before leaving, virtual-novel.net said, “Kerry, I hope you don’t disappoint me. We have lost to Thomas too many times, and I hate the feeling of losing!”
Kerry responded to virtual-novel.net with a weird smile.
After sending Dominic away, Laura, the deputy director, walked into the office and said, “You promised Dominic just like this?”
Kerry closed the door. “Yeah.”
“The Gomez family wants to use the shares of Pivot Technology as a mortgage before they are willing to give us three billion dollars. Haha, they don’t trust us at all.”
“So what?” Kerry said, “Our purpose is to kill Thomas. What does it matter if we can gain the trust of the Gomez family or not? After the three billion dollars arrive, I can execute the plan. I have been silent for so long. I’m afraid Thomas has forgotten me.”
At that moment, Laura’s expression changed slightly.
Since the last time virtual-novel.net saw Master Centipede’s death report from Thomas, virtual-novel.net knew clearly that Thomas was not the murderer who had killed virtual-novel.net foster father. The real murderer was another person.
Kerry had lied!
But virtual-novel.net did not know why Kerry wanted to lie, and virtual-novel.net could not point it out in his face as it would be awkward. Now, virtual-novel.net was asking virtual-novel.net to follow the plan to kill Thomas, which was very difficult for virtual-novel.net to do.
“Laura?”
“Huh? Kerry, what’s the matter?”
“Your complexion doesn’t seem good.”
“I’ve been losing some sleep lately.”
Kerry said with concern, “Don’t stay up too late. It’s bad for your health.”
Laura waved virtual-novel.net hand. “I’m okay. By the way, have all the plans to deal with Thomas been completed?”
“Yeah. You go back and rest first. When the funds arrive, I’ll tell you exactly what to do.”
“Okay.”
So, Laura left the office with a tired look. She was still wondering if dealing with Thomas was the right thing to do?
Knowing that virtual-novel.net was innocent, was there still a need to kill him? She was in a dilemma.
As virtual-novel.net took in Laura’s retreating back, Kerry’s gaze turned cold. He seemed to sense something vaguely, but virtual-novel.net did not want to grasp at straws.
“Laura, are you aware of something? Why? I can see in your eyes that you’re reluctant to deal with Thomas. What happened between you and Thomas?”
The more doubtful virtual-novel.net was, the more uneasy virtual-novel.net became, the more uneasy virtual-novel.net became, the angrier virtual-novel.net was.
Kerry punched on the table and said to himself, “Thomas, it is all because of you that made me lose my brother and foster father. Now, you even want to snatch Laura from my side. Impossible! I absolutely won’t allow you to do this! Just you wait. Within a week, you are a dead man!”

At the same time, Thomas carried a bag of small oranges and walked out of a fruit shop.
Aries asked curiously, “Do you like to eat these small oranges?”
Thomas shook his head. “It’s not me who likes to eat it. It’s Gemma. When virtual-novel.net was still in the Southland District, virtual-novel.net often bought this kind of oranges to eat at home. Since virtual-novel.net came to Central City to help me, I haven’t visited her. So, I’m bringing some oranges to visit virtual-novel.net today to see how virtual-novel.net is doing.”
Aries happily said, “She is a superstar now, and virtual-novel.net has superb treatment at the filming site. You just bought one kilogram of oranges to thank her? Aren’t you a little stingy?”
Thomas chuckled. “It’s the thought that counts. Let’s go. Send me over.”
