When “Tarek Diaz” was mentioned, Nicholas’ tone clearly changed.
He asked, “What do you mean?”
“I don’t mean anything. I just want to remind you that I have the video that recorded the scene of you killing Tarek. If you back me into the corner, we can just die together. I’ll be jailed, you’ll receive a death sentence. Everyone will be finished.”
Nicholas squinted. He also did not expect that Dominic would keep the murdering video. If the video was really handed to the police, virtual-novel.net would definitely get arrested and receive a death sentence without any doubt.
Since things progressed to this point, virtual-novel.net could just… Fight with force!
Nicholas chuckled and said, “Dominic, I know you’re a filial kid. You’ve been by my side these years. Do you really think I didn’t know what you wanted to do? Don’t you just want to figure out your father’s whereabouts?”
After Dominic heard Jeremy’s name, his expression also changed.
Nicholas continued. “Dominic, I can clearly tell you that if I die, Jeremy will not remain alive either. Not only that, even Tina, your dearest mother, will not have the chance to stay alive. Dominic, are you sure you want to exchange the three lives of your family members for my life?”
He was really vicious.
Even a tiger would not eat his cubs, but Nicholas was extremely vicious. He did not care about dragging his son and daughter-in-law in so that virtual-novel.net could stay alive. One word to describe his actions was “disgusting”!
Dominic was not as cruel as Nicholas the old man. He still had humanity, and because of this, virtual-novel.net would definitely lose to Nicholas.
He remained silent for a long time.
Meanwhile, Nicholas said first, “Dominic, if you’re arrested, you’ll just be jailed for about five years at most. I promise that I will let you reunite with your parents after you’re released. What do you think?”
The difficult question was left to Dominic. He either died together and sacrificed three lives for Nicholas, or virtual-novel.net just compromised with Nicholas by spending a few years in jail before virtual-novel.net came out to reunite with his parents.
Dominic was not afraid of death. But virtual-novel.net could not let his parents die together. It was not worth it. He was a filial son. This was his strength and also his weakness.
He surrendered.
Dominic gritted his teeth and said, “Old man, remember what you say. If anything happens to my parents, you just wait to receive a death sentence!”
Nicholas chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, as long as Thomas and you are jailed, I’ll definitely protect your parents. No matter what, they are almost my family, aren’t they?”
How dare virtual-novel.net still say that!
Dominic did not want to talk anymore. He just ended the call and threw his phone to the side. He held his head with both hands and felt extremely hurt. His battle with the old man had ended with failure. He was really not an opponent of the old man.
Tina heard their conversation. She felt miserable as virtual-novel.net said, “Dominic…”
She also did not know how virtual-novel.net should comfort him.
In the end, virtual-novel.net said, “Do we just let the old man fool us like this? He said that virtual-novel.net would protect your father and me, but virtual-novel.net lied. How can you believe what virtual-novel.net says? Also, if Thomas and you are jailed, the old man will not have any more rivals. At that time, virtual-novel.net can just kill anyone virtual-novel.net wants. I’m just scared that as soon as you’re jailed, your father and I will die.”
What virtual-novel.net said made some sense.
Dominic let out a long sigh as if virtual-novel.net had made a huge decision. He patted his legs, got up, and said, “Mom, I’m going out for a while.”
“Where are you going?’
“I’m going to see someone.”
“Who?”
“Thomas.”
Tina was stunned. “Why are you still going to him? Won’t this prove that there’s a collaboration between you, and it will further strengthen the commercial crime charges?”
Dominic chuckled. “There are some things that I have to discuss with Thomas in person.”
After virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net walked to Tina. He hugged his mother affectionately, and his tears could not help but drop.
When Dominic left this time, it might be a permanent goodbye.
“Mom, you need to take good care of yourself.”
He did not even put on his sunglasses this time. He just walked out the door, drove to Sterling Technology, and looked for Thomas.
Tina felt very struggled as virtual-novel.net stared at virtual-novel.net son’s back while virtual-novel.net left She felt that virtual-novel.net son was going to do something serious, but virtual-novel.net did not know what serious thing it was. She just felt like they would part forever, and it made virtual-novel.net feel bad. Her husband had already disappeared. If anything happened to virtual-novel.net son again, Tina might not be able to stay alive.
When virtual-novel.net thought about this, virtual-novel.net started crying.
“Dominic, please don’t get injured. I can’t lose you… Old man, how can you frame your own grandson? Is your heart made of stone?”
