Chapter 43: Vote of Death
Dominic arrived at his home and rushed to his room while talking to someone on the phone.
"What do you mean I couldn’t handle the matter?!" Dominic yelled. "Listen, all this is happening because your people didn’t do a good job at securing all the evidence. It’s a good thing that the girl killed herself, or this case could have gone much worse."
"Yes, I know, we would have killed the girl either way, but the problem is the evidence which she sent to the village boy. He has secured everything and there is nothing we can do."
Dominic was changing his clothes as he put his phone on the speaker.
[He could be making all this up, you know?]
"Oh, so you think he could be lying. Then you should have come with me to the interrogation room."
[Holy shit! Are you really scared of that village rat? What happened to you?]
"Look, I am not scared of anyone. You are well off, Aldric. Even if you lose your position as the academy’s chancellor, nothing will change. The Blackwood family’s influence won’t change. John and Alexander are also safe as they have many options. But I can’t say the same about me. I only have one job, and if I am relieved of my duties, I will have nowhere to go.
All the money I have gathered will also be gone. I will lose everything! I will lose my family! My life is on the line here! I can’t afford to take risks." He shouted.
[I have never seen you so flustered ever since that one time when your wife caught you in the hotel room with one of Maximilian’s classmates in high school.]
"Don’t bring that up!" Dominic hissed. "I am leaving for the galaxy club to meet a client, who has arranged fake evidence for us. Let’s hope everything goes right and I can finally sleep peacefully."
