Dominic, sensing the thick silence in the room, took a deep breath and pressed on, "Colby, did you come back to handle some urgent business?"
"Yeah, something pressing needs my attention," Colby replied, almost too casually. "Bring them in."
Outside, a few burly guys were dragging Dominic's wife and daughter up the stairs.
Hailee, her makeup smeared from crying, was tightly bound, her plump figure shaking with fear. Beside her, Jasmine, also tear-streaked, pleaded desperately, "Dad! Help me, Dad!"
Jasmine was still in her school uniform, clearly pulled out from class.
"My wife! My sweet girl..." Dominic's voice cracked with terror. "Colby! What the hell is this? I've busted my ass for you for years, why are you doing this to my family?"
"Dominic, let's get one thing straight. Have you been working your ass off for Colby, or for the Pollard family?" Sophie's voice was soft but had a razor-sharp edge.
Hearing the name "Pollard family," the color drained from Dominic's face.
"Colby... Please, let me explain..." Dominic's legs buckled, and he crumpled to his knees.
Colby was notorious for his ruthless handling of traitors. Dominic stuttered, "It was the Pollard family... They approached us for a partnership. Mr. Elwood, when he was still around, always had good relations with them. They came to me recently to collaborate, and in a moment of madness, I agreed. I thought it was just a minor thing. You were in Devonport, and I didn't want to bother you with such trivial matters, so..."
"So, you decided for me, huh? You went ahead and struck a deal with the Pollard family, letting the Minton family's underground casino operate on my turf?" Colby's words cut deep, and Dominic knew all too well the rules Colby had laid out.
