Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 980 Walking Into a Trap

Dominik fell silent.

There was no way for him to verify the authenticity of Matthew's statement, but he had to admit that Zac was a very paranoid man.

Zac had been spending long evenings discussing his plans with Dominik. His speeches painted a grand blueprint for a perfect future that swayed Dominik, who eventually chose to work with Zac.

Matthew did not wait for Dominik to reply. After a moment of silence, he said, "If this is the case, I'll talk to Princess Eleanor."

His implicit message was that if Dominik refused to work with him, he would work with Eleanor instead.

The moment those two worked together, Dominik would stand a very slim chance of becoming the head of the clan.

"D-Don't," Dominik quickly rebutted. "Eleanor was heavily punished by Mom after she saved you last time. I do not want to see her hurt again."

On the surface, it sounded so much like he was protecting Eleanor.

For a moment, even Dominik believed in his own lie.

"Does that mean you are willing to aid me, Prince Dominik?" The tension in Matthew's body faded slightly as a glimmer of hope presented itself.

"I can help you, but you have to promise me one thing."
