Chapter 861
Hearing the bad news, Jordan’s eyes widened in shock, and his grip on his cane began to shake.
Many years ago, he had lost his eldest son in an accident.
The pain still lingered whenever he thought about it.
The death of his eldest son had always been a deep, hidden wound in his heart.
He had suspicions that his son’s death was not an accident but never dared to investigate it fully, fearing he couldn’t handle the truth.
He never imagined facing such a tragedy again after all these years.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
If his eldest son was the one he had painstakingly raised, then Kent was the son he had adored from a young age.
Kent was his youngest son, whom he had always treated gently.
Yet, Kent’s impulsive nature led to his tragic end.
Thinking about this, Jordan could barely keep himself upright.
When Domenic tried to help, Jordan pushed him away.
With a mocking smile, Rupert stood up from the sofa, approached Domenic, and said coldly and sharply, “Domenic, in that business war, you’ve confused and misled Herbert and Kent with your schemes.
Kent ended up bankrupt and in debt, leading him to take his own life.
You’re essentially responsible for his death! As your uncles, we have obstructed your way to inheriting the Walsh Group, so you plan to kill us all, correct?”

After a pause, he added, “Domenic, I really don’t want to blame you.
But, to deal with your uncles, you’ve invested a lot of time and effort in setting a trap overseas, neglecting the Vitality Group.
Consequently, Vitality Group lost several major projects to competitors.
The great loss is all because of your actions.
” Rupert reprimanded him, looking distressed.
“Your schemes drove your two uncles to bankruptcy and even led to Kent’s death.
How could you so coldly disregard our family ties?”
Rupert, who was usually gentle, now revealed his stern side and accused Domenic of various offenses.
He was quite cunning.
He didn’t engage in the overseas business war this time because he suspected it was a trap by Domenic.
He discreetly had someone monitor the situation.
When he learned that Herbert’s and Kent’s companies had suddenly gone bankrupt and both were missing, he deduced it was Domenic’s doing.
If Herbert and Kent were out of the picture, he was likely Domenic’s next target.
He couldn’t just sit back and wait to be struck, so he took action.
He met with Jordan and shared what Domenic had done, hoping to sway Jordan’s opinion against Domenic and curb his influence.
But he hadn’t anticipated Domenic’s ruthlessness.
Domenic had driven Kent to suicide and deprived Herbert of all his power.
Even Rupert, accustomed to the cutthroat nature of business, was taken aback by the ferocity.
He was uncertain how much Domenic knew about his own Maneuvers against Domenic and his parents.
If Domenic was aware, Rupert knew his own downfall was imminent once Domenic took over the Walsh Group.
Unable to take that risk, Rupert felt he had no choice but to eliminate Domenic.
Upon hearing Rupert’s accusations, Jordan stared at Domenic in shock and pointed at him, trembling.
“Is what Rupert said true? Did you really do all this?”
Domenic met Jordan’s angry, questioning stare with a calm one of his own.
“I’ll take care of Vitality Group’s problems,” he said calmly.
“But I disagree with what Uncle Rupert said.
In business, there are victories and setbacks.
Uncle Herbert and Uncle Kent entered my industry aggressively, sparking a business rivalry.
I retaliated, but I never anticipated their substantial investment, leading to their significant losses in the end.
Uncle Herbert and Uncle Kent, intent on destroying me, have risked all to sabotage me.
Thus, who has forsaken the bonds of family, them or me?”
Domenic’s intense gaze fixed on Rupert as he spoke, his eyes seeming bottomless, making others uneasy to meet them.
“Uncle Rupert, if you don’t mind, I have a question for you.
Considering you’ve been aware of this situation from the start, why didn’t you intervene to discourage my two uncles? Instead, you chose to stay hidden, observing our conflict.
Are you waiting for us both to weaken before making a move?”
“Don’t accuse me falsely!” Rupert exclaimed, his anger reaching its peak when Domenic suddenly blamed him for avoiding responsibility.
In a moment of shock and anger, he pointed his finger directly at Domenic’s nose, his calm attitude breaking as he shouted the accusation.
“You are aware that I do not fabricate accusations.
” Calmly, Domenic stated, his lips quirking slightly.
“Your plan is to accuse me of causing Uncle Kent’s death, intending to sow discord between Grandpa and me and gain advantages.
A truly cunning scheme.
”
“Domenic, how dare you!”
Rupert’s face reddened, eager to speak further, but Jordan’s sudden shout silenced him abruptly.
