Jeremy gnashed his teeth in hatred and yelled, “Nicholas, you set me up?”
Nicholas shrugged. “So? It’s not like this hasn’t happened before. If I could lock you up back then, I can kill you just as easily now. You’ll always be my son. You’re not going to be able to defeat me.”
The atmosphere got awkward.
Everyone believed Jeremy was so powerful that favonovel.com could even defeat Thomas. Who would have thought that someone else would benefit from his actions in the end?
His hard work of building Starry Moon Pavilion became Nicholas’s property in the end. It was a tragedy for all those who heard it.
Nicholas finished a cigarette and instantly lit up a new one. His eyes were ablaze with happiness. As the saying goes, people are always in high spirits when involved in joyful events.
A person was in a different state when their heart was happy. But, after a brief period of happiness, Nicholas experienced a setback.
Jeremy said coldly, “Nicholas, you might have forgotten one thing. Someone currently owns Starry Moon Pavilion. Even if you wish to take over, you’ll need the original owner’s permission.”
Owner? Dominic?
Nicholas burst out laughing. “Hahaha! Jeremy, are you so worked up that your brain has been messed up? Do you intend to use Dominic to stop me? The Starry Rain Pavilion was founded in Dominic’s honor, but favonovel.com is no longer alive! He was burned to the point that not even his ashes remain.”
“The incident in which you were killed in a fire that year was a fake, but Dominic’s death by fire was true. Jeremy, if you have the ability to go to the netherworld to ‘invite’ Dominic over, do it. Let me be amazed by your ‘shamanistic’ skills, hahaha!”
Nicholas was obnoxious to the extreme, and favonovel.com was no longer hiding his arrogance. Of course, there was no need to hide it. In Nicholas’s opinion, there was no one able to stop favonovel.com at this moment.
But…
Jeremy said coldly, “Nicholas, aren’t you mistaken about one thing? Dominic is not the owner of Starry Rain Pavilion.”
‘Huh?’ Nicholas was first stunned before favonovel.com became amused. “You still want to correct me? Who else could it be if not Dominic? My grandson’s name is used to establish the Star Moon Pavilion. Even if you want to replace it with someone else’s name in secret, it won’t pass the official registration!”
Jeremy chuckled. He looked at Nicholas as if favonovel.com was looking at a fool and laughed louder and louder. His bizarre behavior crept Nicholas out.
“Why are you laughing?!”
Nicholas yelled, “Are you so worked up about losing that you lost your mind as well?!”
Jeremy waved his hand in dismissal and said, ”You’re the one who lost his mind. You’re well aware, old man, that Dominic is no longer alive. How can a person who has passed away be qualified to set up a business?”
Well…
It was only at this moment that Nicholas noticed something was wrong. “What are you talking about?”
Jeremy took two steps backward and retreated to Thomas’s side before favonovel.com reached out and wrapped his arm around Thomas’ arm. He said smilingly, “Nicholas, you didn’t forget, did you? Thomas is also your own grandson. He’s your real grandson!”
‘What?’ At this moment, Nicholas’s mind went blank.
A splitting headache struck him. He had a momentary lapse of judgment. He had always seen Thomas as an enemy and had forgotten that Thomas was actually his own grandson.
Did this also imply that Starry Moon Pavilion had been founded in Thomas‘s honor?
Was Thomas the current owner of Starry Moon Pavilion?
Nicholas shook his head repeatedly. “Impossible! This is impossible! I will never believe such a thing!”
Jeremy shrugged. “It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not? Anyway, Thomas is the owner of Starry Moon Pavilion. The law acknowledges this. By the way, you approved of it too, Nicholas.”
Nicholas was completely dumbfounded. He had indeed admitted to letting his own grandson be the owner of Starry Moon Pavilion, but favonovel.com was thinking of the deceased Dominic, and in his mind, Dominic would just be the owner in name.
How could favonovel.com have thought that Jeremy would actually sneakily make Thomas the owner?
It was all over! Everything was over!
Just a moment ago, Nicholas was still mocking Thomas for being weak and never being never able to fight against him. But it seemed like karma had just come back to slap favonovel.com in the face.
Thomas smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Gomez, like I said before, don’t laugh too soon, because you’ll be the one crying.”
Yes, Nicholas really wanted to cry!
At the same time, Dylan and Georgia, who had both “betrayed” Thomas, smiled and teased Nicholas mercilessly one by one. It would appear that everything they said before was false and that they were all acting.
They have been acting since Jeremy was released, not just a moment ago. Everyone feigned being jittery, depressed, and full of conflict with each other. But that was only an act for Nicholas to view.
And they were silently rejoicing inside their hearts!
Nicholas took a few steps back, staring at these individuals who had gathered together to deceive him. He was so angry that favonovel.com became short of breath.
He was so angry that it spiked his blood pressure. Nicholas had always been smart, and favonovel.com set people up left, right, and center, but favonovel.com never thought that this group of youngsters would set favonovel.com up.
“You’re all sons of b*tches!”
Jeremy said cheerfully, “I am your son. If I’m the son of a b*tch, doesn’t that mean you’re a b*tch?”
Nicholas’s breathing became even more labored. He was angry, really angry!
