The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 26

Chapter 27

As she stepped into the sitting room, every pair of eyes turned toward her.

It was the absolute worst moment to be in the spotlight.

She quickly tucked her bank card behind her back, hoping to one would notice.

Grandpa Abraham's face twisted with displeasure as he glared at Sophia.

"Where have you been? Why didn't you greet your husband like I told you?"

Sophia's face flushed with embarrassment, and she wished he could vanish.

In a small voice, she mumbled, "I did, Grandpa."

"Yes, Grandpa, she'did," Alex chimed in, trying to back her up.

Grandpa Abraham's expression Softened.

The truth was, Sophia didn't care about greeting Alex.

All she wanted was to get rid of him.

She was willing to give him money, just for the peace of mind, so she wouldn't have to deal with him anymore.

But if her grandfather found out what she really did to Alex, she'd be in big trouble.

So, she quickly said, "I was just giving instructions in the kitchen. I'd like Alex to stay for lunch."

"Really?" Grandpa Abraham's face lit up, clearly pleased.

"Yes," Sophia confirmed.

Even Alex seemed surprised by the sudden invitation but forced a smile.

He knew Sophia only said that to make her grandfather happy.

And he was right.

Grandpa Abraham smiled at her with approval.

"Tell me,” he said, "how close are we to joining the Kingston Enterprise?"

He shifted the conversation to the Kingston Enterprise membership, which was crucial for the Lancaster family's future.

The Lancasters had been working hard to become members of the Kingston circle.

They wanted to build a connection with Alfred Kingston and elevate their family's status.
