Zosia: Quick Transmigration System-Chapter 22 - 21- ARC 1
֎Dominic's Pov֎
"Drive to the house." He opened his phone while his voice reached the driver who obeyed the command.
Glossing over the case file which had just been sent to him by Kamil.
He noticed that the details of the crime was more thorough than what he investigated.
Dominic still felt surprised at the fact that he was the cause of the murder.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable and irritated he was.
Tugging his tie, he gulped down his saliva to moist his throat.
Dominic stared at the picture of the young lady on his phone. It was a picture of Diana while she was talking.
The more he stared at her, the more he felt her value and worth radiating from her.
Dominic deep eyes which held a glint of slyness in it, turned to the window. The gaze slowly disappeared leaving behind a thoughtful gaze.
"How was she able to do it within four years?" He muttered under his breath.
He did not believe it to be a stroke of luck. There should either be a backer or something else.
"Maybe I should investigate her? Nah... Someone who could throw such detailed evidence of the crime at my face, she would be able to find out that I am investingating her.
It would be best if I don't turn her into an enemy." His eyes flickered as more thoughts sprouted in his mind.
Arriving back at the house, he had just removed his shoe when he heard Mr. Leverato voice.
"What would happen if the Leverato family finds out that, it was the daughter they discarded that helped in reducing their daughter years in prison." He mused.
Tack!
He dropped his shoe on the shoe rack.
"Good evening Dad, good evening Mr Leverato." He shook Ferdinand's hand as he greeted.
One might be wondering why he didn't cut off all ties as he had said he would.
Well, they needed to get the gold mine rights that is with Ferdinand and the right to develop a land owned by his family.
"Dominic, you keep getting more handsome by the day.
I saw the Listed company list that came out, and I must say, Congrats. It's not easy, especially getting up to the top 25 in the country." Ferdinand said with a slight smile adorned on his lips.
Dominic smiled, "You too. I should also congratulate you for having
a lawyer in your household."
Dominic stared at the confusion that appeared in Ferdinand's eyes and his lips curled up.
"Huh!?"
"Well, Diana is now a lawyer. Isn't that wonderful."
Ferdinand stood up in shock.
"You know where she is? Are you the one that has been shielding her all this while?"
Dominic titled his head, he had no plans of answering the man. After all, someone like him who didn't love his daughter would just exploit her.
He had only mentioned it to see if he could get some benefit from Ferdinand.
"I'm sorry sir. Currently I have been busy and
I am so tired. Will love to discuss more on business with you. I have already done wrong by interrupting your talk with my father." He said with a yawn preparing to go upstairs.
"Dominic wait." Dominic's father who had been quiet, spoke up.
Dominic turned to his father who had called him back.
" Ferdinand came to ask if any news about the case."
Dominic let out a chuckle, "Yes there is, your daughter would only be arrested for drunk driving. As for other things, you can talk to the police and see if they spill out anything."
"Ok.. When would you be free to go and see Trisha?"
Dominic playful mood slowly turned into that of an aggressor.
"Tsk, why should I visit someone I don't love. Rejection is better than Regret.
I don't know why you still insist on pushing her with me.
Do you really hate your daughter that much that you would rather see her unhappy in a marriage?"
Ferdinand had no way to retort.
He did love his daughter but his daughter loves Dominic, what can he do except from fulfilling her wish.
Dominic seeing as Ferdinand kept quiet, took the opportunity to go upstairs.
He didn't want to continue staying there, before his father would ask him to just go and see Trisha.
"If Dad hadn't asked me to come back, I wouldn't bother returning." He muttered.
"So you don't miss your Mom. What a heartless child." He received a smack on his head from his mom.
He didn't really expect his mom to hear him and to even be close by in the first place .
"Mom, you know that's not what I mean."
"Fine. Come and gist me on the latest news about the crime." His mother said with a giggle.
Dominic let out a sigh. His mother is a sucker for gist. She is not a gossip but she loves having to hear gist.
This also prompted his father to become a storyteller and one of the reasons for their travels to different places.
"Mom, let me have-" the rest of his words were stuck in his throat as he stared at his mom puppy eyes.
Leading her into his room, he decided to tell her everything.
" I never knew my son is the heart throb of many." Ella scanned her son not really seeing anything noteworthy.
"Apart from the fact that you are handsome and have money, I don't really see any other thing.
Tell me, among the three of them, who would you choose?"
"Eww, mom. None.
With the kind of trait they all have with each being worse than the other."
"Fine. What about Diana?"
"Don't know mom. I just know i am interested in her, especially her skill. if it would reach the stage of wanting to build a family with her then I would but if it doesn't, then that's also good, being friends is okay."
"Tsk, you are just being nonchalant. Better get her first before someone else does. After all, she is now a hot cake.
A young lawyer, who is not only beautiful but has her own money and connections would have many young men flocking to date her."
"I understand mom, but with the stuff that happened, her teacher is very wary of me."
"Son, then cut off some relationship you have with some women." Dominic stared at his mom as he watched her eyes go down to his groin.
Of course he understood what she was pointing at. The Sex kind of relationship.
He did have some, especially when he wants to let of steam or after being stressed.
"Sigh, I would try mom."
"Do not try, do it. You are already old and I need to have a grandchild."
Dominic just nodded.
"Good, you can now take your bath. Once you are done, come down for dinner." His mother stood up and left not forgetting to close the door behind her.
