Although Jack Ferguson was threatening her, Eugenia wasn't scared at all. She knew that this was the beginning of Jack Ferguson's compromise. "Jack, do you know why Domenech wants to kill Martinez?" She asked Jack Ferguson after sorting out her words. "Jack, do you know why Domenech wants to kill Martinez?"
Hearing Eugenia's question, Jack Ferguson was struck dumb for a second. Although he had thought a lot about the position of the head of the family, he didn't know what Domenech's purpose was.
In the Ferguson Family, Domenech and Bernardo were political allies. Bernardo only wanted money, and he would support whoever could give him more benefits. Therefore, Jack Ferguson didn't think too much about it. However, after hearing Eugenia's explanation, he realized that things weren't as simple as he thought.
Domenech was born in the military, and he always wore a military uniform in the Ferguson Family. He was serious, proud, and a little arrogant. His reputation in the Ferguson Family was not bad. Domenech had been single for many years, and he didn't have a wife or children. His life wasn't simple, but it wasn't luxurious either. He didn't have high standards for material goods like his ally, Bernardo.
Jack Ferguson tried to recall all the information about Domenech in his memory, but he still couldn't find anything. However, when he saw Eugenia's confident face and remembered that Domenech had cheated on him, he couldn't help but get mad. "Eugenia, are you trying to tell me that Domenech did it for you?"
Eugenia was a little annoyed by her husband's anger, but she didn't lose her temper. "I'm not charming enough to make Domenech do so many things for me. Two years ago, Domenech was diagnosed with a heart problem. Although it won't kill him in the short term, he doesn't have much time left!" She explained.
"That's why Domenech spent a lot of money to see a doctor and tried many different treatments, but nothing worked. Three months ago, Domenech found a priest from the Religion of the Earth to treat him. The priest told him that he couldn't be cured by normal treatment, and the only way to cure him was to become a wizard or find a wizard pharmacist!"
"Also, Bernardo told Domenech that the ancestors of the Ferguson Family were wizards, and there might be a way to become a wizard in the family library. You know the rules of the Ferguson Family. Only the leader of the Ferguson Family and the first successor of the Ferguson Family have access to the library!"
"Although Domenech is an elder of the Ferguson Family, he doesn't have the right to access those books. Therefore, he has to break the rules if he wants to get those books. Martinez is the guardian of the rules of the Ferguson Family. That's why he supported you to become the leader of the Ferguson Family and wanted to kill Martinez!"
"Jack, you don't need to worry about Domenech at all. What happened last time in the Patriarch's Council was an exception. Martinez had something on you, and Bernardo was a fence-sitter. Therefore, even if Domenech wanted to help you, he couldn't do anything!"
"Think about it, Jack! It doesn't matter if you lose to Butler Martinez. Butler Martinez won't do anything to you for the sake of your father and Alfredo. You can still be a rich man and live a good life. However, Domenech won't be able to get his hands on your family's secrets as long as Martinez is still alive. "
"With his condition, he doesn't have much time left. Trust me, Domenech will try even harder than you when it comes to dealing with Martinez! As for what happened between me and Domenech, it was just an accident! " Eugenia told Jack Ferguson everything about Domenech's motive, but she didn't mention anything about what had happened between her and Domenech.
After hearing Eugenia's explanation, Jack Ferguson started to believe Domenech's words. He didn't rush to answer Eugenia. Instead, he thought for a while and said, "I can cooperate, but I have a condition. Domenech has to die!"
A bright smile appeared on Eugenia's face when she heard the first half of Jack Ferguson's sentence, but the smile froze on her face when Jack Ferguson finished his sentence. A few seconds later, Eugenia frowned and asked Jack Ferguson, "Jack, you should know how important Domenech is to Martinez. Without his help, we can't … Jack, you're a mature man. I don't think you'll hold a grudge against him because of what happened between us, right?"
Hearing Eugenia's explanation, Jack Ferguson sneered, "Eugenia, don't worry. I don't care about a woman like you!"
"But the secret documents in the family library are passed down to us. Domenech is nothing!" Lucien shook his head and said. He's just a son of a b * tch! I don't even know if he's a descendant of the Ferguson Family! Even if there's a way to become a wizard in the secret books, it belongs to me, not Domenech! "
Seeing that Jack Ferguson valued the family library so much, Eugenia was also a bit surprised. She frowned and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Eugenia, you are a smart woman. You can't make a mistake at this moment. You have to understand that we don't have any feelings for each other anymore, but I'm still Henry's father, so he should have a share of what I got. However, Domenech has nothing to do with Henry. Do you think he can share the secret documents with Henry?" Jack Ferguson pointed out.
