Chapter 556 - Family Intervention (6)

1 June, Matthew's Villa, City K

As Matthew and Lexi left, Warren Gong knew he was the one person no other a.d.u.l.t present, except Sally Nang, trusted in any form. Steeling his breath, he headed to where Sally was standing with her husband, saying "Sally, always a pleasure…"

"You crook get away from my wife," spat Andrew.

"CEO Yao hate me all you like, but your wife has some respect for me," came Warren's calm response. This brat needed to learn some manners, but Warren knew this was not the time or place to teach him those manners.

Warren continued "At least respect her, even if you do not respect me. But more importantly this is your sister and brother-in-law's home, so respect them. They invited me here because they know regardless of anything, I love Dominic, and only want what is best for him."

"You have to be kidding," snapped Andrew. "You only want what is best for your interest. My nephew, who by the way is not related to you in any way, does not factor into that."

Sally, hearing this felt torn. She loved Andrew, and knew she would spend her life with him, but at the same time when she attended her early university classes while still at High School Warren Gong was the only lecturer that had any concept of the struggles, given his age when he first attended university.

Placing her hand on Andrew's arm, Sally quietly said "Enough Andrew. I know the conversation you had with Lexi about Dominic. Now you want to argue with a person who he is happy to see. Sometimes I wonder how in the world you became CEO of Jax Corp, when you fail to look wider than your own opinions…"

"Wider than my own opinions. You know exactly what he is…"

"Someone like you, a company CEO…"

"Ha!" came Andrew's cynical response.

Warren, looking between the two of them smiled and said calmly "I guess I need to leave you two alone…" He quickly moved off towards Dominic smiling to himself hearing the argument about his presence continuing between Andrew Yao and Sally Nang.

If anyone deserved that, it was Andrew Yao, that brat, and his work in that respect was done today. There was benefit in that for his legitimate businesses, because an angry Andrew Yao took days to calm down, and became sloppy in his business decisions during that time. It gave an opportunity to a recently purchased business that directly competed with Jax Corp. The only concern would be if Chester Yao knew he owned the company because unlike his hot-headed younger brother, he could always keep the personal from the business and he would do anything to prevent them loosing this contract, even though for Jax Corp this was a minor deal if they secured it, for him it meant the difference in breaking even when he sold the company or being able to achieve a significant profit.

Reaching where Dominic was, he saw three women, two who appeared familiar and one who he had no idea who she was.

As soon as Dominic spotted him, he again ran to him calling our "Uncle Warren."

Warren as he crouched down again gathering Dominic into his arms before standing up. For all of his idiot nephew's decisions in his short life, there were just a few that he was proud of. There were two that always stood out to him. The first of them was to join him, learning both the legitimate and illegitimate aspects of his Gond heritage. He became someone he not only trusted, but the person he was willing to hand over control of not only the legitimate business to, but the Gong Cartel itself.

The second, was more tinged with conflicting emotions. He stupidly, when heading overseas to secure a deal for the cartel decided to give his parents the opportunity to show that they could be trusted, but did they abuse that in their obsession about Jax Corp. Despite his own attempts to convince Richard to follow his heart and ditch the marriage agreement with Lexi Yao because of his feelings for Jasmine, he decided to stick to the arrangements. His words even now echo in his mind 'If I cannot honour this, how can anyone respect me when I take over your role Uncle Warren.' He did his best to stay away from Jasmine but, in the end their love could not keep them apart and in the end resulted in their deaths. But, while decision to follow through with a promise made in his name allowed this wonderful boy in his arms to be born. For that reason, he knew he would always do what was needed to achieve the best for him.

Turning Dominic in his arms, Warren said "Dominic, can you introduce me to these lovely ladies…"

Giggling, Dominic said "These are my Aunties' Monica, Jessica and Sarah," while pointing to the three women.

As Dominic pointed to the two women, he called Monica and Jessica, it started to solidify things in his mind. Nine years ago, society here was scandalised when Monica Mo and Jessica Fung, the former the daughter of Kevin Mo and the latter the daughter of Kevin Fung, left everything behind to marry soldiers. There was a real difference in the family attitude, the Mo family disowned their daughter, doing everything to wipe her from people's memory. The Fung family however were different. They went quiet, but when their second daughter three years later joined the military it was obvious to anyone that they were willing to support the choices their children made.

Quietly, Warren turned and said, "I have been trying to place you for months." Looking at Monica, he said "Are you Monica Mo?" He then turned and looked at Jessica and said, "And are you Jessica Fung?"

Monica, knowing exactly who this criminal in front of them was responded "Get with the times, I am Monica Pang and that is Jessica Wang." She motioned to Jessica and they two of them left.
