The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 56

Chapter 57

Most of the hostages were young, affluent men and women attending Jasmine's debut.

Under the stern gaze of the Walkers, they frantically called their families, voices shaking as they explained the dire situation.

Calvin Walker demanded ten million dollars from each family in exchange for their safety.

Sophia, too frightened to contact her grandfather, decided to call her grandmother instead.

"Sophia, I've been waiting for your call," Grandma Lancaster answered, her voice bright with joy and anticipation.

"I assume we've secured the partnership with the Kingston family, right? Do you want a grand wedding with Chris tomorrow?"

Sophia's heart sank, a lump forming in her throat.

She took a deep breath. "Grandma, the Emerson family got the partnership. We lost it."

"What do you mean, we lost it?" Lady Lancaster's voice sharpened with disbelief. "We didn't secure the deal with Kingston," Sophia repeated softly.

"But we paid a hundred million! How could we not get it? Did the Emersons offer more?"

"No, Grandma. Alex was right. Jerry was fired from Kingston; he doesn't have any influence anymore." "What?" There was a stunned silence as Lady Lancaster tried to process the news.

"But we still have BioHealth Solutions, don't we? That's worth a hundred and fifty million."

"Grandma, Kingston has already cut ties with BioHealth. It's practically on the verge of bankruptcy."

"What?" The shock hit Lady Lancaster like a physical blow

She sank into a chair, her strength leaving her.

"Can we sell BioHealth quickly to recover our losses?" she asked desperately.

Sophia sighed. "When I found out, I asked our financial manager to check BioHealth's records. Today, they took out a loan of a hundred million dollars."

"What does that mean?"

"It means we'll have to cover BioHealth's debts too."

A heavy silence hung between them.

"This isn't some kind of joke, is it?" Lady Lancaster's voice was faint, almost pleading.

"No, Grandma," Sophia whispered.
