Chapter 2801
Regina’s hunch about Domingo being Imogen’s ex-husband wavered as she pondered over.
“Domingo wasn’t always rolling in dough,” Nolan said. “From what I’ve heard, he’s only come into money over the past few years. The guy’s a mystery but cuts through the red tape like a chainsaw. He’s got this street cred for being loyal, and that’s got him a whole entourage. He’s stacked his chips high in no time. I really dropped the ball there. If I’d done my homework before we went in on that plot of land, I wouldn’t have walked right into his trap.”
Nolan’s words sent a chill down Regina’s spine. This Domingo character sounded like a real piece of work-a hustler through and through!
No wonder Imogen was plotting her way to the top after getting tangled up with him.
The two sat quietly on the couch, exchanging the clues they had gathered, looking as cool as cucumbers.
Domingo watched them through the surveillance feed and let out a sneer.
“This pair really thinks they’re something, huh? They’ve been keeping their cool, aside from some initial panic. Acting like they’re in their own living room. Mr. Skinner, keeping Mr. Harris cooped up in there doesn’t sit right with me. Didn’t Imogen say just dealing with the girl would do the trick?”
Domingo gave him a frosty glance, and immediately someone nudged the speaker, “Got rocks in your head? Mr. Harris came in with that thorn in our side. If we just take out the girl, you think Mr. Harris won’t come after us for the rest? I say we go whole hog and take care of them both. The Harris Group won’t miss one with all their money and power. We can smooth over the land deal then too. What do you say, Mr. Skinner?”
After blowing out a cloud of smoke, Domingo cracked a satisfied grin, “You’ve been with me the longest. You know how I think. I’m itching to see what this legendary Mr. Harris is made of. He’s trapped in my VIP room and still acting tough? Let’s see how long that lasts.”
“All right, lead the way-”
The other two scrambled ahead, eager to clear a path for Domingo.
Meanwhile, Regina and Nolan were still piecing things together when Regina’s sharp ears picked up some noise outside.
“Shh, keep it down. Someone’s coming.” Regina’s face tensed, and by the sound of it, they weren’t alone.
Nolan moved in front of Regina, his voice low and steady
“If things go south, you get behind me and make a break for it, got it?”
Regina gripped his wrist, shaking her head frantically, “No way, we’re in this together. I can’t just leave you behind.”
Nolan offered her a wry smile, “Don’t count your chickens. Whether we can even get out is up in the air. Remember this-if one of us makes it out, the other stands a chance of being saved. Besides…”
“What is it?” Regina’s earnest gaze made Nolan hesitate. He had a sinking feeling that Domingo might just be the heavy Imogen had called in to take down Regina.
