"What video??"

Dominic's heart skipped a beat. As soon as he hung up the phone, the other party sent over a video after a short while.

It was surveillance footage from the community, showing an underground parking garage. His son David appeared immediately, leading a group of people with an aggressive demeanor.

They were holding clubs and bats, and they proceeded to viciously smash a Cayenne and a Nissan car, then splashed paint all over them.

When the security guards arrived, they just swaggered away arrogantly. The elderly guards, seeing their ferocious and menacing appearance, didn't dare to stop them and could only frantically make phone calls.

"What is going on??"

Dominic immediately called back to demand an explanation.

"What's going on? Your son tried to cause trouble at their home this morning. He went to the property management company under my group to ask for their address, but they refused to tell him."

"That bastard, stubborn and unyielding, actually went to the garage, found Luis's family's car, directly smashed it, and splashed paint all over it."

Hearing this, Dominic felt a wave of darkness before his eyes, the pent up bitter resentment in his chest becoming even more suffocating and unbearable.

"The property management side has already called the police. I didn't have time to stop them."

Bella couldn't help but gloat, saying, "I have to praise him. This boy has no other skills, but his talent for stirring up trouble is truly impressive."

"He doesn't seem like your son at all, hehe. Even your average thug or hooligan wouldn't have this kind of style and intensity. I suggest you get a paternity test."

Hanging up amidst Bella's mocking laughter, Dominic was already coughing up blood. Covering his mouth, he roared with reddened eyes,

"Leem... call the police, call the police. Tell them my son wants to turn himself in."

"That bastard, let him go inside and reflect properly... that little beast, send him to the drug rehab center, cough..."

Inside the CEO's office, Nina took another phone call. Turning around, she also smiled with gleeful schadenfreude.

"Darling, Dominic is on a ventilator and undergoing emergency resuscitation. It's said he was so enraged he actually vomited blood. But before passing out, he was remarkably swift and decisive."

"He ordered people to escort David to turn himself in, and had his nephew sent to the drug rehabilitation center to surrender."

Bella laughed with approval. "He is decisive enough. On this point, I've never looked down on him."

"And it's really like heaven is helping us. Originally, we were very passive, but now it's our turn for fortune to change. Contact the working group and tell them I want to go see the work progress."

Bella was extremely happy. Picking up her coffee cup didn't feel satisfying enough; her eyes were already locked on the liquor cabinet.

Nina nodded, but after making the call, her delicate brows furrowed. She reported, "Darling, the working group said that Secretary Hail is currently there, so it's not convenient to report to you."

"Hail, Waller..."

Bella immediately felt a headache coming on. These two old foxes were far too shrewd; her little clever tricks probably couldn't escape their notice.

"Secretary Hail said we should redo the liquidation plan prepared on our end. As for when the meeting for discussion will be, we should just wait for his notification."

Hearing this, Bella's headache intensified. The liquidation of Tiger Real Estate required three proposals to be discussed together, followed by bargaining and negotiation to reach a final outcome.

In the previous proposal, she had already conceded quite a bit. With Waller watching closely, no one dared to even think about demanding an exorbitant price.

This proposal actually represented significant concessions, precisely because she didn't want to get overly entangled in this matter and also hoped that Waller, as the final decision maker, would see her sincerity.

Now that this proposal had been rejected, it was blatantly clear that Hail was reprimanding her.

It was true that the Taiga family were local bullies, but the Leon family were no pushovers either. Using them as a tool in a scheme to eliminate someone else was asking for trouble.

No matter how lacking in perception or how lawless David was, the fact that she used him to target Luis was practically testing Waller's bottom line.

Nina walked over and began massaging Bella's head, saying softly, "Darling, it seems things aren't entirely favorable for us either."

"At the very least, dragging that Zhang fellow down with us, putting everyone on a level playing field, can be considered a good thing."

Bella closed her eyes, still smiling with schadenfreude. "You could say it's all thanks to David's 'blessing'. That good for nothing spendthrift is practically my lucky star."

Hearing this, Nina also revealed a knowing smile.

Bella had never intended to hide her actions from Waller from the very beginning. She had long since weighed the pros and cons in her mind. For her, the benefits of acting this way were clearly greater.

What Bella never expected was that not only had she failed to keep it from Waller, she hadn't even managed to keep it hidden from Luis.

While Bella was still plotting her next move, she soon received an utterly unexpected phone call. It was from the manager of the first phase of the City Center Gardens project.

"What? He chose mediation???"

This outcome completely baffled Bella. How could it have turned out like this?

Although Dominic had vomited blood and was reportedly undergoing emergency treatment, fortunately it wasn't serious.

He might look seriously ill and terribly frail now.

However, the old man had a very robust physical foundation. If he were even slightly weaker, he probably would have been angered to death on the spot.

His first move was to send someone to contact Luis. He first apologetically stated that due to his hospitalization, he couldn't personally visit to apologize. Then, he wanted to discuss the matter of vehicle compensation and the apology.

Luis had just taken his sister in law and Teacher Blanche to the hospital and hadn't even had time to deal with the car situation.

It turned out the old man was utterly sincere. Seeing no movement from Luis's side, his mother actually came directly via ambulance, hooked up to an IV drip and receiving oxygen.

Worried the old man might actually die at his home, Luis had no choice but to agree to meet and talk. The location was set at the hospital, just to avoid any unfortunate accidents befalling the old man.

In a private room in the inpatient department, Dominic was receiving an IV drip. This local tyrant still managed to look rather dashing.

When he spoke, his voice was hoarse with extreme fatigue, carrying a hint of ingratiation. "Luis, to be perfectly honest, I don't need your forgiveness, nor any mediation or such."

"These past years, I've been busy with business and neglected his discipline. It's only right he tastes some bitterness as a lesson."

Luis decisively shook his head and said, "President Ben, I can't be bothered with all this troublesome hassle. You just discipline your son properly. If there's a next time, I won't be so polite."

"Yes, yes, thank you."

Dominic let out a long, relieved sigh and said earnestly, "Luis, your car is smashed up like that. Repairs will be expensive, and there's the depreciation. It'll affect your use, right?"

"What's the approximate price? I'll just pay you directly and buy the car from you."

He was being quite generous. Luis didn't ask for an inflated price and directly produced the car purchase invoice.

Luis was also being particularly cautious. He had called his teacher's wife, Winslet, to come along. Winslet was rather surprised when she heard.

After all, it involved the famously notorious local bully, Dominic.

Driven by a desire to witness the spectacle, no matter how busy she was, she rushed over immediately. Everything proceeded under the observation of lawyers from both sides and police officers.
