Chapter 860
Domenic’s heart sank as he watched his grandfather dismiss Carole, the outsider.
It was clear Jordan knew something, and the questioning was about to begin.
As expected, the moment Carole disappeared upstairs, a dark cloud settled over Jordan’s face.
He fixed Domenic with a piercing stare.
“Rupert informed me that Herbert and Kent’s overseas project went belly up,” he stated.
“Not only did their companies go bankrupt, but they’re also drowning in debt.
Are you familiar with this situation?”
Domenic fell silent for a moment, unsure of how much his grandpa knew about his overseas escapades.
However, he had no intention of hiding anything.
His grandpa was an astute man with vast sources of information, and sooner or later, the truth would be revealed.
“I know,” Domenic replied candidly.
“And did you have a hand in it?” Jordan’s voice was laced with ice.
He was clearly searching for answers.
Casting a glance at Rupert, who sat cozily beside Jordan, Domenic knew that Rupert must have spilled everything to his grandpa, Leading to this intense line of questioning.
“Grandpa, since you’re already aware, why ask me again?” Domenic locked eyes with Jordan.
Being seen through by Domenic, Jordan grew agitated and rose to his feet.
He pounded his cane against the floor, his tone icy, revealing his deep anger.
“Humph! How dare you turn everything I’ve taught you over the years against your uncles.
You have audacity!”
Rupert had been keeping a close eye on events abroad through his spies.
They had thoroughly briefed him on the situation.
He knew that Herbert and Kent had suddenly gone bankrupt, but he couldn’t reach them.
He felt strongly that something was amiss.
They had disappeared mysteriously without seeking his help.
Rupert glanced at Domenic, his nephew, whom he hadn’t quite figured out in recent years.
Was Domenic so ruthless now?
Rupert narrowed his eyes and stroked his chin thoughtfully.
“Domenic is young and arrogant.
Dad, try not to be too harsh.
But honestly, Herbert and Kent must be upset with Domenic.
They haven’t reached out in days.
You need to mend their relationships.
Maybe you can call them to your place.
Let’s talk things over.
It’s the only way to keep the family together.
”
Domenic wanted to keep his uncle Kent’s death a secret, thinking it best unknown to spare his grandfather the pain, especially since he believed his grandfather would be devastated.
Back then, Domenic hadn’t anticipated that Kent would take his own life.
Hearing what Rupert said, Jordan immediately called the butler to get in touch with Herbert and Kent.
Once it became clear that something was unusual, secrecy was no longer an option.
If it couldn’t be hidden, it was pointless to try.
“There’s no need to reach out to them.
I know where they are,”
Domenic interjected, stopping the butler.
He looked at the two people sitting upright before him, his expression showing no emotion.
“I’ve settled the ten billion dollars Uncle Herbert owed.
He told me he no longer wanted to run the company.
He took some money and left for a vacation in Bali.
”
After a brief pause, he continued slowly, “As for Uncle Kent… He was impulsive.
When he lost all his wealth and owed tens of billions of dollars, he couldn’t handle such a severe loss and took his own life at home.
I was too late when I got there.
