The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 23

Chapter 24

Alex turned to Sophia. "Why don't you confirm with Chris if his father really sent the gifts?"

Sophia, her brow furrowing in confusion.

"What are you talking about? Of course, It's Chris helping me out."

She couldn't fathom the idea that anyone other than Chris would send such luxurious gifts.

"Didn't t you receive an emerald necklace from Elegance & Co and three invitation cards?" Alex questioned.

Sophia felt a chill run through her.

How could Alex possibly know what was inside her gift?

He had just returned, and the gift was already scaled.

The necklace, the three cards-had he somehow read her mind?

Or, even more unsettling, had he been right all along?

Was Chris's father really not behind these lavish gifts?

Before Sophia could find her voice, Lyra cut through the silence, her words dripping with disdain.

"Oh, please! We're not idiots, Alex. You're just jealous of Chris because you can't even come close to his success."

Alex chuckled at the accusation.

Even someone like Alfred Kingston would see Chris's success as insignificant, like an ant beneath his notice.

Why would he even bother looking at Chris?

"You probably overheard the servants talking about the gifts, and that's how you know what's inside. You can't fool us!"

Lyra continued as her voice rose in anger.
