"Oh, are you talking about him?" Eleanor propped her elbow on the armrest and looked at Dominik lazily. "Dominik, you and I don't think alike. Think about it. Iron Pillar is Veronica Murphy's chef. If I could bribe him to work for us, wouldn't he become our pawn? On the other hand, the Ledgers wouldn't trust Iron Pillar, but if they see how close he is with me, they will use him too. I reckon that he'll be of great use to us, depending on how we use him."
Her words made Dominik lost in thought.
After pondering on it, he raised his eyes slightly and asked doubtfully, "Do you really think so?"
"Duh."
Eleanor flicked the crumbs of the toast off her fingertips. "Why would I be interested in an ordinary chef?"
These words were obviously against her will, but she said them for Dominik to hear.
Dominik's eyes sparkled with a hint of contemplation. After a while, he pursed his lips into a straight line and presented a smile. "You're right, Eleanor. Tell me more about your plan."
"Well. Here's what I…"
Eleanor explained her plan to Dominik in a methodical manner while he listened to her attentively, taking her plan seriously.
Afterward, he shared his own ideas with her and intended to craft a strategy with her.
"Hahaha. You're my smart brother, after all. That's a wonderful idea!"
After listening to Dominik's plan, Eleanor gave him a thumbs up. "Brilliant. It's really brilliant. Let's do it. I'll head back first."
She waved her hand, put her hands behind her back, and left the side hall triumphantly.
When she turned her back to Dominik, the smile disappeared from her beautiful face. In contrast, her eyes were filled with a cold and chilling gaze, and she immediately emitted a dismal aura.
