Chapter 390: [Bonus - ] I’ve avoided them long enough
Heaven and Dominic exchanged questions, giving out honest answers in return. Fortunately, Dominic’s questions after his first were quite too simple for her to answer. Questions like what she felt about Paula still existing, and what her favorite things to do, or position during their love-making session, were the line of questions he had in his mind.
Meanwhile, Heaven was stuck in his remarks about death threats, getting bits and pieces of it until she was able to get the full understanding of it.
To summarize Dominic’s life, his involvement in the company from a tender age already upset many people like his uncle, Leon Zhu. After surviving that kidnapping that could’ve led to a gruesome murder of a child, things hadn’t been so easy for him. Especially when Dominic became the head of the family.
Receiving death threats from time to time had almost become normal for him. Even before meeting Heaven Liu, Dominic had gone through a lot. He didn’t talk about the after-party, but it was clear someone had intentionally drugged him that night as part of a scheme to harm him.
"Mr. Zhang had been a huge part of my security and survival through the years," Dominic continued indifferently. "Grandma as well. She’s still protecting me now. That is why I want to show her that she doesn’t need to worry about me. After all, I’m losing her trust after what happened to you."
"Ahh..." Heaven rocked her head in understanding. "I’m so slow, am I?"
"Hmm?"
"I didn’t know this information until now. All this time, I thought you had been safe."
"I am always safe." Dominic blinked. "I have guards around me, but recently, people are stepping up on their game. That is why I added more bodyguards."
"That’s not what I mean." She sighed. "What I am saying is, I didn’t think there were people who were bold enough to challenge the Zhu family." — she thought that level of foolishness only happened in the underworld.
"People had been challenging the Zhu family even before I take over it," Dominic corrected. "Humans are insatiable, just like you and me."
