Georgia was not happy with Thomas’s decision. From virtual-novel.net point of view, Thomas had fallen into Tarek’s trap. If Tarek was already in cahoots with Stellars Jewelers, what can be done?
Was virtual-novel.net not throwing himself into the trap?
The staff of Stellar Jewelers might be selling the jewelry to Tarek at half price or even one-third of the price, while Thomas would be at a disadvantage.
What more could be done?
The more virtual-novel.net thought about it, the more virtual-novel.net grew afraid. Georgia went to Stellar Jewelers with them out of worry.
At the same time, in the Gomez family’s mansion. Nicholas received a report from his spy and learned that Tarek had followed his plan and was currently heading to Stellar Jewelers. He was delighted.
Dominic, not understanding the situation, asked, “Why are they not heading to our family’s jewelry shop, Grandpa? If they are, we will be able to earn the money from the Diaz family, right? But now the money will be spent at Stellar Jewelers and we are going to pay them two-thirds of the price as well. The more I think about it, the more I think it is not worth it.”
Nicholas snorted. “What do you even know? Do you really think that Thomas, Georgia, and Lyla are idiots? If Tarek were to propose the Gomez family’s jewelry shop, Georgia would be able to see through our plan right away. Stellar Jewelers is a neutral company, hence they agreed to the proposal.”
Dominic sighed. “We are just spendng too much for this. At this point, we have already thrown tens of millions of dollars into it.”
“It is all or nothing. As long as we are able to chase Thomas away, tens of millions of dollars is nothing.”

In the car.
Diana, not understanding, asked, “Mr. Mayo, why did you agree to Tarek’s request?”
Thomas said calmly, “If the takeover were to be a successful one, I have to convince others with what I am capable of. And coincidentally, Tarek gave me an opportunity to prove myself. Why should I reject it?”
“But…” Diana threw virtual-novel.net hands up helplessly, “This is obviously a trap!”
“Why do you say so?”
“Think about it. Tarek must have had everything pre-arranged. He has to be in cahoots with Stellar Jewelers. Is it not jumping into the trap? Is this not seeking one’s doom?”
Thomas smiled. His and Aquarius’s eyes met, their gaze was filled with a hint of mystery.
Diana asked anxiously, “Are you hiding something from me? That is not right, you must be hiding something from me. Tell me quickly!”
Thomas took a look at Aquarius.
Aquarius understood and said, “Diana, do you know what the commander worked in Southland District?”
Diana shook virtual-novel.net head. She did not know much about what Thomas did in Southland District.
Aquarius smiled as virtual-novel.net said, “The commander was a deputy director in a jewelry company, and currently, virtual-novel.net is still holding on to thirty percent of the shares.”
“Really? Which company is that?”
“Stellar Jewelers.”
Boom!
Diana got mind virtual-novel.net blown and was so surprised virtual-novel.net could not respond. She looked at Thomas in horror.
The man in front of virtual-novel.net was more powerful than virtual-novel.net had thought virtual-novel.net to be. Diana thought that virtual-novel.net knew Thomas very well, but now virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net knew far too little of this man. Thomas had so many secrets on virtual-novel.net and each and every one of them was shocking.
Diana swallowed virtual-novel.net saliva, thought about it, and asked, “That is to say, Mr. Mayo is still the deputy director of Stellar Jewelers, with thirty percent of the shares?”
Aquarius nodded, “That is right.”
Diana continued, “This means that we are not the one falling into the trap, but Tarek is?!”
“You are right,” Aquarius said confidently, “We have been in contact with Stellar Jewelers and had orders for them to replace all the staff on duty. Even if Tarek did arrange for someone to be assisting virtual-novel.net secretly, virtual-novel.net will not be able to adapt to the changes made. This is a small surprise we have prepared for them.”
