Simon didn''t use the money to start apany. Instead, he used it on stock gambling. He ended up losing every single cent in a short amount of time.
The pitiful state he was in was also a made-up front. He was still married. His wife''s family still had a property that was worth more than a million dors. The deed was currently in the hands of his father-inw. In conclusion, he was choosing to leech off of Be despite having somewhere else to go.
More than two hourster, the surgery wasplete. Simon was escorted back to his hospital ward. Dominic arranged for him to stay in a private ward. He even got him a private nurse and paid for all the expenses.
Simon was pretending to be asleep when Dominic exposed him. "Since it was a minor procedure, they only gave you local anesthesia. Let''s talk."
Simon unwillingly opened his eyes and averted his gaze. "What''s there to talk about? My wife is asking for a divorce, but I''m refusing. She''ll be taking me to court soon. I''m suffering enough as it is. Yet she''s choosing to add insult to injury. I hate to look for Be, but I want to live..."
Dominic scoffed. "There are plenty of ways for you to live, yet you decided to doom yourself. When I gave you 1.5 million dors, I told you to never show yourself in front of Be ever again. You''ve gone back on your word."
Simon inhaled sharply. "I''m her father!"
Simon was right. Since he was Be''s father, Dominic couldn''t just get rid of him.
Unwilling to waste any time on him, Dominic asked, "What do you want? What''s it going to take for you to disappear from her life forever?"
Simon didn''t respond immediately. It seemed like he was analyzing Dominic and testing the waters.
Two minutes felt like an eternity. After careful deliberation, Simon said cautiously, "After I went bankrupt, my wife''s family has been looking down on me and forcing me to get a divorce. I''d like a chance to regain my dignity and be self-reliant..." His implications were clear. He wanted something better than 1.5 million dors.
Dominic''s lips curved up in a mocking smile. "I have a smallpany overseas. It should involve your area of expertise. I hope you can take up the offer within h year and leave this country for
good." o
Simon''s eyes lit up in glee. Apany of any size under Dominic''s name was a huge bargain. This offer was better than he had expected.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Before he could celebrate any further, Dominic added, "Oh, right. I forgot to tell you. The aftereffects of your injury are pretty severe. You''ll have a bad limp and your leg will. ache quite often. There''s no chance it''ll healpletely. I''ve already settled your medical bills. hope you''ll be able to manage yourself from now onward."
Simon inhaled sharply. Dominic was handling this very well.
Simon was aware that this was thest time he would ever be able to benefit through Be.
After leaving the hospital, Dominic didn''t return home. Instead, he headed straight to thepany. He had just taken a seat in his office when Be called him.
He felt pathetic. If it weren''t for Simon, she probably wouldn''t have contacted him.
"I''m at the office," he picked up and said in a calm tone.
Upon hearing this on the other end of the phone, Be instinctively assumed he was busy. Hence, she decided to get straight to the point. "How did you settle the issue with Simon?"
Dominic was honest. "I gave him a smallpany and sent him overseas. He''ll probably be gone within the next few days. He''s been putting on a front all this time." Be fell silent for a moment. Then, she said, "Thank you. Sorry for all the trouble once again."
He had gotten sick of her formalities a long time ago. Frustrated and annoyed, he hung up the phone.
