Chapter 406: [Bonus - ] emotional damage
Sometimes, family matters were a complicated subject.
It wasn’t that easy. Silas might be a troublemaker, but Dominic had to be lenient with him because of many reasons. The Zhu family might appear too restrictive and intimidating just because they were a powerhouse, but at the same time, no matter how ruthless they were, they extended their patience toward family members.
As someone from the underground and treating the organization as a family, Hera could understand this circumstance more than anyone. After all, one person betrayed her once. That person was also an underboss, having the same rank as Bear and receiving direct orders from the boss.
Many underbosses, including Bear, warned Hera about this particular person, but Hera didn’t listen. It was not that she couldn’t see the red signs, but because she was hopeful that the person would change his ways before it was too late.
"What?" Dominic raised his brows as his wife was quiet while staring at him, caressing his cheek with her thumb. "You’ve been looking at me like that as if you want to say something."
’I have a lot of things to say, my love, but I’d rather keep that to myself,’she answered inwardly while a smile turned up on her face. ’I learned my lesson the hard way back then, and I’m afraid because of this thing called family, you will be in danger. But then again, all I need to do is get rid of that guy if he gives me the slightest reason to. So, it’s not really an issue.’
"Dom," she called with a smile. "That girl... do you remember what she looks like?"
"Huh?"
"That girl," she stressed, watching him ponder for a moment before he nodded.
"You mean that first friend I had?"
"Yes."
