The Almighty Dominance Chapter 69
A few days later, Alex and Sophia arrived at the grand banquet hosted by the Lancaster family.The opulent hall was abuzz with anticipation.Amelia Lancaster had organized the event to announce the acquisition of BioHealth Solutions from Roland and to unveil its rebranding under the Lancaster Group.And their partnership with Kingston would send ripples through Vancouver's business community, marking the Lancasters' bold expansion into something greater.Whispers filled the room about Jasmine Kingston's attendance."Why do we have to be here?" Sophia sighed, glancing at her father, Justin.He adjusted his tie, his expression firm. "This is our family's banquet, Sophia. We need to show face.""But they've already pushed us out," she protested softly."Regardless, we must attend," Justin insisted."Our livelihood depends on the Lancaster Group's shares. Imagine what would happen if your grandmother decided to cut us off entirely."Nearby, Florence cast a disdainful look at Alex. "You sh

"I don't know," the accountant muttered. "Give me a moment to figure this out."Peter turned to Alex, confusion and a flicker of fear in his eyes.Could Alex truly be behind this catastrophe, or was it merely a terrible coincidence?Before he could dwell on it, his phone buzzed urgently. He snatched it up."Father?""You bastard!" his father's furious voice exploded through the line."What have you done? Our family's assets are frozen, and we're under investigation! Do you realize the magnitude of this disaster? If you don't fix this immediately, we're finished!""Wait, Father! Please, tell me what's happening," Peter pleaded, panic tightening his chest."Who the hell did you offend? Alfred kingston's got our assets frozen and says he’s launching an investigation into all our businesses and accounts. Do you think we can withstand that kind of scrutiny? They’ll dig up everything, and we’ll all end up in prison!" his father’s voice boomed with desperation.A softer, trembling voice came

Sophia stood at the centre of the banquet hall, her eyes fixed on Alex, who lingered unobtrusively in the corner.Words caught in her throat as confusion and disbelief swirled within her.How had Alex managed to make Peter Smith, of all people, tremble with fear?Even the powerful Lancaster family couldn't command such a reaction from him.Watching Peter's desperate pleas, she was certain Alex must have tricked him somehow—probably with his usual swagger and exaggerated tales.He was, after all, the king of braggarts.At least she hadn't been gullible enough to fall for his antics like poor Peter had."Peter, please stand up. People are watching," Sophia urged softly, a flush of embarrassment creeping up her neck.Peter remained kneeling, his head bowed low."Miss Sophia, I beg you—promise me you'll help secure Mr. Alex's forgiveness. Only then will I rise.""Fine, fine," she relented, hoping to end the spectacle. "Just get up."Nearby, Malvin, Mike, Amelia, and other members of the L

Sophia sat across from Alex on a cozy sofa in the café, her fingers nervously entwined in her lap."Alex," she began softly. "I want to apologize for everything I've done to you."Alex looked at her with gentle curiosity. "Why?"She took a deep breath. "I've realized that so much of my pain comes from clinging to how I think things should be, instead of accepting what they are. I regret not listening to my grandfather."He offered a reassuring smile. "It's okay."Gathering her courage, she confessed, "I... I don't have our signed divorce papers.""What do you mean?"She bit her lip, hesitating before continuing."When I was planning to marry Chris, he said he'd handle the divorce papers and the marriage certificate. I thought after everything that happened, he wouldn’t send them. But I never received any confirmation."Alex remained silent."That means we're still husband and wife," Sophia whispered, her cheeks flushing.He leaned forward slightly. "And if he already sent them?"She s

"Sophia! What on earth are you doing here?” Olivia Lancaster burst into the café.“Everyone’s been looking for you!"Before Sophia could respond, Olivia grabbed her arm with an impatient grip."Grandmother wants to see you. Now," she demanded, her tone dripping with irritation.Taken aback by her cousin’s abruptness, Sophia pulled her arm free. "Olivia, what’s going on? Why are you acting like this?"Olivia scoffed, crossing her arms. "Don’t play innocent. You disappear when the family needs you most? Typical.""Disappear?" Sophia echoed. "I wasn’t aware anyone needed me.""Maybe if you paid attention to something other than yourself, you’d know," Olivia snapped.Alex glanced between them. "Perhaps you should explain what’s happening."Olivia shot him a withering look. "You loser, this is a family matter. Stay out of it."Sophia squared her shoulders. "Alex is my husband. Anything involving me involves him.""Fine," Olivia huffed. "Just hurry up. You’re holding everyone else back."Re

"Quickly, Sophia! Kelly Kingston only gave us ten minutes." Amelia grabbed Sophia's hand and hurried her toward the hall.Earlier, Amelia had persuaded one of the board executives to delay Kelly's departure, convincing her to wait just a few more minutes.Now, as they entered the hall, Kelly was already preparing to leave."Miss Kingston!" Sophia called out urgently.“My grandmother wanted me to inform you that I’ve been appointed CEO of Lancaster Group. I’ll be handling the partnership with Kingston Group directly. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance.”Kelly turned, "Well, if you're personally managing Lancaster Group as CEO, then there's no issue. But let me be clear—if anyone else steps in, the deal is off.”“This partnership isn't a game where you can place just anyone in charge without competence." Her gaze shifted sharply toward Amelia and the Lancaster team, a clear warning evident."Thank you so much, Miss Kingston," Sophia said sincerely.It almost felt as though

"Lyra, where have you been? You left the table ages ago."Oscar's voice cut through the soft chatter of the banquet hall as he approached, his eyes darting suspiciously between her and Alex.He noticed how closely she stood to Alex, a subtle lean that made Oscar's jaw tighten.Lyra turned to face him, her expression shifting from sultry to cool indifference. "Must I report my every move to you, Oscar?"He bristled."Well, we came here together, didn’t we?" His tone was laced with jealousy.Oscar had pursued Lyra for years, longing to win over one of Vancouver’s most renowned beauties.Their relationship had seemed promising, especially after he’d invested in her business.Alex observed the exchange, noting the swift transformation in Lyra's demeanor—from a seductive vixen to a poised, unyielding queen—as she confronted Oscar.Now he clearly understood why people said a man wants a lady in the streets and a freak in the sheets."That doesn't give you the right to question me," Lyra rep

"It's working," Lyra whispered, her voice barely audible.Her father, Joe Thompson, with some effort, managed to sit up. He swung his legs over the side of the bed."It's like a miracle," he murmured.Lyra captured each precious moment on video, her mind racing with possibilities.This was more than she had ever dared to hope for.For the wealthy, nothing was more priceless than their health."Father, I'll go call Mom," Lyra said, standing up.She quietly left the room, her heart pounding with excitement.Meanwhile, Joe glanced at the smartphone beside his bed.After being confined for so long, his mind was churning with thoughts. Taking a deep breath, he dialed a number he hadn't called in years."Alfred Kingston?" he said when the line connected."Joe Thompson?" Alfred's voice held a note of shock.Joe had once been his fiercest competitor in Vancouver. "I heard you were bedridden after a stroke.""My daughter obtained a medicine from a legendary doctor known as 'God's Hand.' I'm he

“Whatever helps you sleep at night!” Alex snarled, his hand slicing through the air with impatient finality.Instantly, Discipline officers lunged forward, gripping George fiercely by the arms, yanking him from the room.“You’re going to regret this, Alex! My family controls the Union—you'll pay dearly for this!”George screamed, his voice cracking with furious desperation as they dragged him mercilessly across the threshold.Hans staggered forward, panic turning his face pale and sweaty.“Mr. Alex, please!” he begged, collapsing onto his knees in a pathetic heap.“I was wrong, terribly wrong! Give me another chance! I swear I'll never cross the line again!”“I got lost in a moment of greed!” Hans sobbed, clutching desperately at Alex’s feet, his pride dissolved into tears.“Think of my years of loyalty, sir! Can’t you forgive just this once? I promise—it'll never happen again!”Hans trembled violently, his hope evaporating like mist in sunlight as he watched even Mr. Smith, his stron

“Mr. Smith, looks like you’re hell-bent on covering up for your little lapdog, huh?” Alex’s eyes sharpened into slits, simmering with quiet menace.Suddenly, everything clicked into place.It became crystal clear why Hans had strutted around so arrogantly—he had a boss even more corrupt and vile pulling his strings.Just when Alex believed he’d witnessed Hans at his absolute worst, George proved there was a far darker abyss lurking beneath.Rotting trees always collapse from within, and Kingston Pharmaceuticals was clearly infested with poisonous maggots like George and Hans.If these vermin were allowed to thrive unchecked, it would spell doom—not just for quality control, but for every honest worker within the company.They sold medicine that wasn’t even approved for sale—just to stuff their own pockets.They didn’t care if it ruined the reputation of Emerald Elixir.All the millions poured into advertising, all the effort to build something exceptional—shattered by the greed of the

Alex watched the entire fiasco unfold, a weary sigh escaping him like a man resigned to cleaning up another mess.He had no appetite for trouble, yet fate had other ideas.Still, Clara was Sophia's aunt, and family ties had a way of complicating even the simplest matters.Reluctantly, Alex moved toward Clara, his footsteps heavy with irritation as Hans slithered away unnoticed.Leaning closer, Alex warned quietly, "A little advice—don't gamble with this one. Things aren’t always as bright as they seem."Clara spun around sharply, eyes blazing with contempt as she assessed him from head to toe."Who the hell do you think you are, sticking your nose into everyone's affairs? Jealous, huh? It must burn to see someone actually succeeding while you rot in obscurity.”“You've already destroyed Charles’s future and turned him against his own sister. And now you want to sabotage me, too? Keep dreaming, loser!"Alex's eyes flickered with restrained annoyance, a cold smile ghosting his lips."Fi
Chapter 278
Ten minutes later, Charles emerged, a chillingly composed smile etched onto his handsome face, his attire immaculate once more, betraying no hint of the destructive storm he’d just unleashed.But beneath his polished exterior, Charles burned with an insatiable hunger for revenge.He had to triumph this time—especially considering the astronomical losses he’d inflicted upon his mother due to the failed SkinDews venture, which had bled nearly half a billion from their coffers.Charles knew he had to act fast; his financial lifeblood was slipping away.Pulling out his sleek phone, Charles quickly dialed one of the managers from Kingston.His voice was coldly decisive, leaving no room for hesitation: “That offer you gave me—I’ll accept. Meet me immediately in the meeting hall.”The voice on the other end responded hastily, anxiety apparent. “Right away, sir. I’m coming to you.”A few moments later, a lean, cunning-faced man with narrow eyes approached Charles, bowing obsequiously.It was

“Well, well, well—if it isn’t Alex! Tell me, are you seriously hoping to snag a distributor deal with Kingston?”Clara sneered venomously, her cold eyes darting downward at Alex as if he were nothing more than dirt under her designer shoes.Alex casually shifted his gaze toward Charles, his voice edged with mockery.“What’s wrong, Charles? Didn’t you tell your friend here exactly who I am?”Clara turned toward Charles, curiosity mingling with disdain in her narrowed eyes.“Charles, what exactly is this grand position he claims?”“Alex?” Charles erupted into contemptuous laughter, the cruel amusement echoing harshly through the room.“Please! He’s nothing but a worthless piece of garbage! He wormed his pathetic way into Jasmine’s bed, becoming her personal boy toy through deception.”“My little sister was naive enough to hand him the title of Chief Physician at Hilton Pharmacy—nothing more than charity for a parasite.”“I believe he begged Jasmine for the position, just to make himself

“Absolutely not—you don't get to touch my boyfriend!”A fierce voice shattered the tense silence, erupting seemingly out of nowhere, jolting both Sophia and Alex as though lightning had struck."Jasmine?" Alex gasped in disbelief, his eyes widening at the unexpected apparition before him.Without hesitation, Jasmine seized Alex's arm possessively, her emerald eyes blazing dangerously toward Sophia, gleaming with venomous defiance."He's my boyfriend, and you absolutely do not have permission to kiss him. If you insist on waiting for my blessing, prepare yourself—it might come, say, in about a hundred years."Sophia was utterly stunned, paralyzed by Jasmine's sudden and fiery entrance."How on earth are you even here?" Alex questioned, clearly shaken by her sudden arrival.With a pout brimming with indignation and tenderness, Jasmine gently struck his chest—not in anger, but in affectionate reproach."You idiot, I was worried sick about you! I heard Owen was causing trouble and rushed
Chapter 275
Alex recalled vividly that Owen's guards were all lying cold and lifeless in pools of their own blood.“Josephine,” he said, his voice laced with a dark intensity, “when one chooses to walk the shadowed path for too long, they inevitably become the very demons they once feared. Even if he had a shred of decency left, when judgment rains down, he’ll drown in it.”“What are you trying to say?” Josephine’s voice quivered, eyes wide with confusion.“The police already got to them. And given that your so-called kind-hearted bodyguard was standing right alongside Owen, he won't escape the storm that’s coming. The law won’t be merciful.”Josephine’s shoulders sank as she released a weary sigh.“He was supposed to walk away sooner...”Alex softened his tone, compassion mingling with his determination.“Listen, since he tried to help you at the last moment, perhaps we should find his family later and offer them some support. What do you think?”A faint, grateful smile lit Josephine’s face, her

“Get your pathetic face out of my sight, Scarlett! Every time I lay eyes on you, my blood boils a little hotter, and if you linger any longer.”“Believe me, I might just lose control and kill you right here,” Jericho snarled venomously, his hand sweeping through the air like he was dismissing an annoying insect.“Yes, sir…” Scarlett's voice trembled, her pride crushed beneath his harsh words.She bowed deeply, her face etched with pain and shadowed by shame.Turning swiftly, she hurried away, shoulders hunched with humiliation.Inside her chest, dread coiled tightly, eclipsing even her former rage.Scarlett knew better than to entertain any reckless thoughts this time. If Owen Whitman, powerful and untouchable, had met such a brutal end, what chance did someone like her stand?And with Jericho clearly aligned with Alex now, she knew her family could easily be next on the chopping block.Everyone in town knew Jericho Kane was a lunatic, and lately, he'd grown even more unhinged since l

Jericho Kane couldn't sleep.Anxiety gnawed at him relentlessly, twisting his stomach in knots.He had explicitly warned his helicopter pilot to avoid any confrontation with Alex, praying silently that no trouble had ensued.But at that very moment, a violent roar pierced through the night air—the unmistakable thunder of helicopter blades slicing the darkness.His pulse quickened as he rushed outside.The chopper descended heavily onto the square, sending dust and leaves spiraling chaotically.The pilot stumbled out, his face ghostly pale, eyes wide with terror.“What happened? Where is Mister Alex?” Jericho demanded urgently, grabbing the pilot's trembling shoulder.The pilot struggled to form words, each one choked out in panic.The more Jericho heard, the more his blood ran cold, a bone-deep dread settling over him like a suffocating fog."Promise me you'll keep everything you've seen tonight a secret," Jericho ordered sharply."Believe me, sir, I want nothing more than to erase th
