The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 51

"Alex," Jasmine nudged him urgently.

"Quick, how do I respond? This is the first time in my life someone has called me poor."

Alex glanced at her. Jasmine Kingston-the wealthiest heiress in Vancouver-had probably never heard that word directed at her.

"Just smile and say 'thank you,"" Alex suggested calmly.

"Really?" she asked, eyes wide with feigned innocence.

"Absolutely. When they go low, we go high."

Jasmine turned back to Chris with a graceful smile.

"Thank you for calling me poor. This is a new experience for me."

Chris's face flushed crimson.

He slammed his fist on the table. "Are you dense? When someone calls you poor, you're supposed to feel insulted, ashamed!"

"Why should I feel that way?" Jasmine replied, tilting her head slightly.

"I'm not poor."

Chris, barely containing his frustration, threw his hands up. "You really have no brain, do you?"

Jasmine turned to Alex, her gaze curious. "Alex, do you think I have no brain?" "Not at all. In fact, I think you're much sharper than they realize."

Alex said while looking at Chris, he tried to bury Jasmine, but didn't realize she was a seed of his destruction.

She giggled softly. "I do enjoy conversations with intelligent people like you."

Just then, the event manager hurried over. He approached Jasmine and handed her two ornate invitation cards. "Miss Jasmine, here are the invitations you requested."
