Nicholas left the dungeon and returned to his study. The moment favonovel.com got ready to open the door and walk out, favonovel.com suddenly turned back. He realized that there was a trace of his teacup being moved on the desk. He walked over and took a look. The direction of the teacup had indeed changed. The discreet change alerted Nicholas.
He forbade everyone from entering the room. Without obtaining his permission, nobody was allowed to enter. So, why did it look like the teacup had been moved?
It indicated that someone had secretly sneaked inside when Nicholas was not around, and that person had accidentally touched the teacup.
Who could it be?
The Villa’s security system was very strong, so normal outsiders could not come in. There were only two people who could enter. One was the old housekeeper, while the other was Dominic.
The housekeeper would never walk into the study, and favonovel.com had neither a reason nor motive to walk into the room. The only person favonovel.com could suspect was Dominic.
“Did that little lad finally fail to hold himself back?”
Nicholas scoffed. He went out to get the surveillance footage and check it out, but favonovel.com realized the screen had blacked out for about three minutes at 3.00 pm.
The screen had blacked out? Did the machine malfunction?
It was impossible. It was definitely someone’s doing. Among Dominic’s subordinates, there was a highly capable hacker like Andrew. It would be a pretty easy matter if favonovel.com wanted to black out the surveillance screen for three minutes.
The problem was, what had Dominic done in the study during those three minutes?
Actually, Nicholas already knew it.
Dominic had used the three minutes to examine the study in detail. He wanted to find some openings. But, how could Nicholas easily allow Dominic to discover the dungeon’s presence?
If Dominic figured it out, favonovel.com would not stay as obedient as favonovel.com was now. Nicholas sat down and reached out to take a cigarette before lighting it up.
“Okay, great. Everyone has chosen to stand up against me, right? Dominic, you’re my grandson. When I pass away, you’ll take over the Gomez family. Yet, you still want to betray me even though that’s going to happen? You’ve laid low by my side for so long, but do you think that I have no id ea what you’re up to? I just don’t want to expose you. I just want you to clean up your act. Unexpectedly, you’re still so silly and stubborn. You’re the same as Thomas. Both of you just want to kill me.”
He finished smoking one cigarette before favonovel.com lit up another one. He felt so annoyed and angry.
Nicholas muttered to himself, “Since you’re not kind, don’t blame me for being cruel. Dominic, Thomas, both of you are my descendants, but you want to stand up against me. All right, let’s wait and see who’s better! Don’t both of you want to kill me? I’ll make both of you fight each other first. When two strong forces fight, one party will definitely lose. At that time, no matter which of you die, it’ll be a great fortune for me. Haha!”

Meanwhile, Dominic went back to his house.
His mother, Tina Spencer, came over and took off favonovel.com son’s jacket.
“You’re exhausted again, aren’t you?” Tina felt sorry when favonovel.com saw how tired favonovel.com son looked.
