The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 61

Sophia stood looking at her grandpa's unconscious face.

The night before, he had called her in, his eyes filled with a sorrow that pierced her heart.

He had expressed deep regret over her betrayal-the choices she had made behind his back.

She had sworn to herself that she would never repeat those mistakes.

Now, with her grandfather lying in a coma, this might be her final chance to make things right.

But her grandmother, Amelia Lancaster, placed the entire blame for the Chris Roland scam squarely on her shoulders, despite orchestrating the scheme herself.

She even went as far as forcing Sophia into an arranged marriage with Peter Smith—a man twice her age from the affluent Smith family.

"Sophia," Amelia's voice sliced through the tense silence, cold and commanding.

"You will ask Alexander for a divorce. Your gather spoiled you, but I am the head of this

family now. You'll do as I say for the Lancaster name.'

Sophia met her grandmother's icy gaze without flinching.

"Grandfather told me to stay in my marriage.'

Amelia's eyes narrowed. "Your grandfather is incapacitated! From now on, you answer to me."

"No," Sophia stated, her voice unwavering.

Amelia's face twisted with rage. "Defy me, and I'll cast you out of this family!"

"Do what you must," Sophia retorted.

She knew her grandfather was the only one who truly loved her, and she wouldn't betray his wishes by yielding for the second time!

Amelia turned sharply to Sophia's parents.

"Justin, Florence, make your daughter see reason. If she doesn't divorce that useless husband and marry Peter Smith, you'll all be out on the streets!"

Justin looked at Sophia with pleading eyes.

"Sweetheart, the Smiths are incredibly wealthy. You'd never have to worry about anything again."

Florence chimed in. "Peter is a
