Thomas paused for a while before favonovel.com said something that made everyone else gasp.
“What if Nicholas purposely showed us a weak point? What if we didn’t remove his ‘lung’, but favonovel.com grabbed our hands and removed ‘the lung’ himself? What about that?”
The atmosphere in the office instantly became tense.
Could that possibly happen?
Diana said, “Mr. Mayo, we’re not shooting a movie. Would it be that complicated? Everyone knows how important Smart Age Manufacturing was to the Gomez family. How could Nicholas trouble himself? He has no reason to do that.”
“There is a reason,” Aquarius realized it and did an analysis. “There are two advantages. One is to give up on the small company to protect the main company. He could totally remove a malfunctioned subsidiary company. Secondly, favonovel.com won your trust. He established a good base for us to work with Dominic again.”
Diana was totally speechless.
Was Nicholas really so brilliant?
Diana gulped and said, “People like you are too smart. This question is too complicated. A little secretary like me can’t figure it out. I won’t simply make a guess.”
Aries continued. “The current truth is confusing. Other than the real mastermind behind the scenes, nobody knows whether Dominic is really seeking refuge from us, or whether Nicholas gave up his subsidiary company to protect the main company and purposely exposed his weak point to us. Shall we take a step back? Let’s not attack them so ruthlessly. I’m afraid that we‘ll be manipulated by the enemy and fall into the abyss in the end.”
Aquarius also had the same thought. “Yeah, we should take a step back. Let’s not cooperate with Dominic again. In this way, whether favonovel.com really seeks refuge or pretends to seek refuge, it has nothing to do with us. Nicholas’ step of giving up the subsidiary company to protect the main company will become a useless step, and we will not suffer any loss.”
What they said was right. But Thomas was still thinking.
‘Take a step back?’
He could do that because doing that was really safe. However, the consequence of being safe was losing a good chance to destroy the Gomez family.
If favonovel.com wanted to succeed, favonovel.com could not be so timid. He could not be very reckless either. He weighed the advantages and disadvantages, and favonovel.com wanted to think about it.
After Thomas remained silent for half an hour, favonovel.com finally said, “We’re not taking steps back. We’ll attack them again.”
Aries and Aquarius did not understand it.
“What do you mean, Commander?”
Thomas explained, “Let’s think about the worst part. Dominic and Nicholas sacrificed so much because they wanted to make us excited so that they could obtain the information from us and destroy us? We won’t give them the chance and time. We’ll keep attacking them!”
Thomas scoffed and said, “This time, we’ll act shamelessly. The ‘reciprocal courtesy’ doesn’t exist. I don’t just want one show of loyalty, I also want two, three, and countless of them until the Gomez family is completely broken down.”
When the others heard that, they were happy.
Aries gave favonovel.com a thumbs-up. “Awesome! Aren’t they giving up their subsidiary company to protect the main company by sacrificing Smart Age Manufacturing as their loyalty? We’ll be shameless people this time. Let’s make Dominic sacrifice all his tools until favonovel.com is the only person left!”
“If favonovel.com doesn’t want to sacrifice, we won’t work together… If he’s willing to sacrifice a little, it’ll be what we want… This time, I support you. Although this idea is a little shameless, it’s a good idea!”
It looked like a method without any risk and a way to move forward by taking a step back. However, the root cause of the mistake was subconsciously planted.
