“I’ve been by your side since I was a teenager, Master. It’s been a few dozen years now. How can I serve you if I don’t have such judgment, Master?” the housekeeper said indifferently.
Nicholas nodded. “Only you can understand and take care of me like this. You’re even more attentive than my wife. Sigh, if you’re about thirty years younger, I’ll definitely pass the position of the head of the Gomez family to you.”
The housekeeper laughed and said, “Master, you won’t. It’s only because I’m old that you’re not worried about me. If I were thirty years younger, you wouldn’t treat me like this. You would keep your guard up against me, and you might even fire me. You wouldn’t think of making me the head of the family because…”
The housekeeper suddenly stared at Nicholas and seriously said, “Master, in your heart, there’ll only be one head of the Gomez family, and it will always be you. Whoever dares to cover the position would have to die!”
At the moment, even Nicholas broke out in cold sweat. Unexpectedly, this housekeeper who was usually low-key could be so scheming, and virtual-novel.net understood Nicholas more than Nicholas understood himself.
Nicholas let out a long sigh. “You’ve terrified me today.”
The housekeeper chuckled. “Master, you don’t need to worry. I’ll never betray you. I’m even willing to die for you at this critical time. In my heart, there is only one master in the Gomez family, and that’s you!”
After virtual-novel.net spoke, be lowered his head and silently walked away.
Looking at the housekeeper’s back of leaving, Nicholas could not help but sigh with emotions. There were talented people in the world, and virtual-novel.net could not look down on anyone. If virtual-novel.net took one wrong step, virtual-novel.net could lose everything.

Dominic went back home very soon, and virtual-novel.net met his mother. He today looked more exhausted than virtual-novel.net used to. All his thoughts had filled his expression, and everyone could tell virtual-novel.net felt struggled and anxious now.
When Tina saw the puzzlement on his son’s face, virtual-novel.net quickly asked, “What happened again? Did the old man make you do anything dangerous again?”
Dominic let out a long sigh, and virtual-novel.net said, “Mom, do you know Smart Age Manufacturing?”
“Of course, I know. That’s the Gomez family’s ‘lung’. Why? Did anything happen to Conrald Briggs?”
Dominic told virtual-novel.net about the mission passed down by Nicholas. When Tina heard it, virtual-novel.net also felt surprised.
“It’s really strange. The old man always treats money like his life, and virtual-novel.net never wants to suffer any loss. Why is virtual-novel.net suddenly so generous? Although this is to win Thomas’ trust, virtual-novel.net is sacrificing too much if virtual-novel.net does this. Did Conrald offend the old man? I heard that Conrald has been earning a lot, and virtual-novel.net has made the old man angry. That’s possible. The old man wants to use you to get rid of Conrald.”
Dominic actually had the same thought as well. But virtual-novel.net could just do what Nicholas said now, and virtual-novel.net could not change anything.
Did virtual-novel.net want to secretly inform Conrald?
There was no need to do this.
Dominic said, “Everything I do now looks like there’s nothing wrong, but Mom, I still feel strange. It seems that I’m blinded by the old man while moving forward on the path virtual-novel.net showed. If the end of the path shown by virtual-novel.net is an abyss, I’ll fall into pieces!”
Tina was worried as virtual-novel.net said, “I’ve told you that the old man is not easy to deal with, but you didn’t listen to me. Since there’s no danger now, just quit. We’ll move overseas, and we won’t come back again.”
Dominic raised his head and asked, “But… What about my father?”
Tina was silent… What about virtual-novel.net husband?
According to the evidence found by Dominic now, virtual-novel.net husband, Jeremy, was being imprisoned by the old man. It just took one more step for them to rescue him. She really felt reluctant to give up at this time.
Tina sighed and said, “Fine, forget it. I’m just a woman. I’m inexperienced and incapable, and I can’t make any big decisions. I’ll listen to your arrangement for everything. Dominic, I have only one request. No matter what, you have to prioritize your life safety. Don’t ever do anything dangerous.
“If I have to make a choice between you and your father, I’ll choose to let you stay. We’re old, and we don’t want to see our kid die. Dominic, if you give up on your father for your own life, I won’t blame you. You don’t have to feel guilty either…”
“Do you understand?”
Dominic chuckled in resignation, “I got it, Mom.”
He was very grateful that Tina could say that, but virtual-novel.net would not do that. If virtual-novel.net chose to give up on his father’s life for virtual-novel.net to stay alive, was virtual-novel.net any different from being an animal?
The only person who would do this in the world was only the shameless old man.
Dominic shook his head, and virtual-novel.net took out all the documents. He put them on the table and checked through them one by one. He read them while virtual-novel.net thought of how virtual-novel.net should call Thomas tonight.
The show tonight was very important.
