Chapter 735
It was still snowing outside today, a man in a black overcoat and gold-rimmed glasses came through the door.
As he walked, Andre followed him with an unsteady gait, and a group of bodyguards in suits surrounding him, making him look like the center of a galaxy.
The man did not even have time to take off his coat, with snow all over him, he walked straight past Dominic and quickly to Taya’s side.
“Did he hurt you?”
Griffon did not even look at Dominic, and just focused on checking Taya’s body, for fear that something might happen to her.
Upon seeing him, Taya gradually calmed down, and she said, “No, we’re just talking. Don’t worry.”
With a growing sense of concern in his eyes, Griffon said, “Anything he says, you don’t have to take it to heart, leave it all
to me.”
His low and husky voice had a soothing power, as if any obstacle or difficulty could be easily overcome with his presence.
In fact, it was indeed the case. Seeing him arrive, the fingers of
Dominic’s hand holding the check slowly closed, and
the expression on his face became slightly awkward and embarrassed.
If he had stepped in to help Griffon back then, he would not feel almost guilty and helpless in the face of him now. Unfortunately, he could not turn back the clock.
Because of this guilty towards Griffon, Dominic cleared his throat and spoke up, clenching his fists, “I’m just here to talk to her, no worries.”
Griffon’ gaze remained fixed on Taya as he heard the voice, and then he turned his gaze faintly to Dominic, “I warned you long ago not to come and disturb her. You don’t seem to take my warning seriously?”
Seeing him being rude to his elders, Taya hurriedly tugged on his sleeve to remind him not to be, but little did she know that Griffon always spoke to Dominic in this way.
The relationship between Griffon and Dominic broke down when Gloria Leiner whipped him for the first time.
At that time, he was only a few years old, beaten by his own mother until he was covered in blood, crawling to seek help from Dominic, but he chose to turn a blind eye.
From then on, he realized that the reason why Dominic was grooming him to be his heir was not out of familial affection, but because Dominic saw him as a useful tool.
For a dominant figure in the business world such as Dominic Knight, the key factor in keeping the Knight pack on its feet forever was the tough and uncompromising tactics of the heir apparent.
Griffon happened to fall into the same category as the young Dominic, which was why he was selected and carefully nurtured by Dominic.
He did feel grateful to Dominic for nurturing him, but to say that there was a deep emotional bond between them would be overstating it. In reality, they were just using each other.
Dominic needed to develop the backbone of the Knight pack, while Griffon needed the power to get rid of Gloria’s control. They both knew it was a done deal.
Now that Griffon’ trade had served its purpose and he had his powers, Dominic could no longer control him, so Dominic turned to his woman.
It was likely that Dominic was concerned that if Griffon would jeopardize the entire Knight pack for Taya. Dominic was only focused on his own interests and naturally did not consider the consequences that Griffon might face if he lost Taya.
But he did not know that if Griffon died as a result, the Knight pack, which had no heir to choose from, would also collapse.
Dominic would not understand it, but Griffon would not explain it to him in detail either. Griffon kept his eyes fixed on the torn check in Dominic’s hand and said in an icy voice, “Think
carefully, do you want to use this check to force my woman away, or do you want me to leave the Knight pack?”
