Cami stepped forward and backed him up. "That''s right! Andrew, you may be the head of Moonlit Apothecary and have quite some power right now, but the Goth family is still one of Jayrodale''s founding families!
"And the White family still holds plenty of influence around here. If you go too far, and the two of us join forces, don''t think we''ll just sit back and take it!"
Andrew let out a coldugh. "I don''t usually bully the weak just because I can. But Mr. Goth, you said your family never wronged me. Are you really going to stick to that story?"
Dominic''s eyes shifted, but he doubled down. "Of course I am. Why wouldn''t I? You gonna tell me when exactly we ever crossed you?"
Andrew''s voice turned sharp. "You''re still trying to y dumb at a time like this? Really? You became Quinton''spdog and tried to steal the form for my miracle pills. You''re not getting out of that one, are you?"
Dominic''s eyes zed with fury as he shot a murderous re at N. That little traitor actually ratted them out- she was as good as dead to him now.
Cami shrieked, "Andrew, you''re making false usations! When has the Goth family ever needed your precious form? I get it now-you''re clearly being manipted by that worthless brat, N!"
Dominic''s expression shifted as he quickly jumped on the opportunity to shift me. "Dr. Lloyd, the Goth family has always had a solid reputation in Jayrodale. We would never stoop to stealing.
"You must''ve misunderstood. The one who wanted your forms was my foolish daughter. After she got caught, she pinned it on the family. Don''t worry-I''ll punish her right now and make this right."
He lunged forward, reaching to grab N with a menacing look in his eyes. Terrified, N stumbled back in panic.
"Back off!" Andrew kicked Dominic square in the gut, sending him flying backward across the floor.
Even now, this man still dared toy a hand on his daughter-just to cover his own tracks and use her as a scapegoat. That one movepletely ignited Andrew''s fury.
Cami screamed, "Andrew! What gives you the right toy hands on the head of our family? Someone get in here! Fight back-teach these bastards a lesson and avenge the family!"
At once, a flood of bodyguards and house enforcers-over a dozen in all-stormed into the hall.
However, Dn just grinned darkly. "Anyone takes a step, and I swear, the Goth family will be wiped off the map in Jayrodale by morning."
Dominic coughed violently and clutched his stomach as he struggled to stand. "Stop! Everyone stand down! Get the hell back-all of you!"
Cami wailed as she clung to him. "They attacked you! We can''t just let this slide! We have to make them pay!"
Dominic turned to her, eyes wide with fear. "No! We can''t fight them-we''re no match. One wrong move and t.. Goth family is finished!"
He stepped in front of Andrew, forcing himself to stay calm "Dr. Lloyd, that kick? I''ll take it. Let''s just say it was punishment on behalf of my daughter. You should be satisfied now, right?"
Andrew gave a slow smile. "Mr. Goth, your ability to twist reality and shamelessly lower the bar... honestly, I''m impressed. Let''s not pretend here. We both know exactly what''s going on.
"Do you seriously think I can''t see that you were the one who forced N into this
in the first ce? Do I look like a fool to you?"
Francesca scoffed beside him. “Mr. Goth, everyone in Jayrodale knows who you are and what you''ve done. Trying to pin everything on N? That''s disgusting. I have nothing but contempt for you."
Dominic''s face twitched as he realized that excuses and pleas were useless now. These people were not here to be manipted, and they definitely were not buying any of his lies.
He clenched his teeth and let out a
twisted smile. "Alright then. Since you all already know everything, just see what you n to do. Because even if this blows up, m not afraid. Your precious form hasn''t been leaked. "If you''re thinking about charging the Goth family with corporate theft, good luck-there''s no evidence!"
