Chapter 1170: Uncle Moose’s gift
"Take it back first. Let’s see if it’s useful. If not, leave it where you picked it up before the owner notices."
As soon as the last syllables rolled out of Dominic’s tongue, he ended the call. His phone was identical to the one the spare phone Axel was using. It was tiny, half the size of the standard smartphone size.
Slowly, he turned to the window of the backseat, remembering how he agreed with Axel to meet the Madam. He didn’t want to, but Axel was adamant.
After Axel talked to the Madam, he went to Ivy’s place that same night. Through her, he told everything that the madam told him and that she agreed to meet him. The next day, Ivy told Dominic about it and emphasized that Axel was simply giving Dominic a head’s up, and not asking for permission.
’I’m glad he was able to make it through it,’he thought, feeling the little burden off his shoulders. ’And who is this person he picked up after meeting the madam?’
At this point, Dominic needed to trust his little brother. After all, the main argument Axel told Ivy which he asked to relay to Dominic was; "Florence called him sheltered." It didn’t sit well with Axel.
Dominic knew Axel wouldn’t let this go so easily. Hence, he let Axel handle it, since he also had to learn that Axel was already an adult. Even though in his eyes, Axel was still that whiny little brat and would always be, because he was his little brother for life.
’Florence... Oxley... Ebonhart... Silvers...’ Dominic squinted his eyes, deep in thought. ’In a way, the Ebonhart and the Silvers had the same agenda. And that is to take down Florence Oxley. However, Lukas Silvers didn’t tell me about helping Hera assume the position.’
It could be because Lukas knew Hera would be uninterested in the Oxley Family or whatever great power being the head had to offer. Yet, it still felt weird. Very weird. His gut feeling was screaming at him that there was more that these people hadn’t told them. Whatever it was, Dominic felt like it wouldn’t be good for Hera.
