The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 75

"Lyra, where have you been? You left the table ages ago."

Oscar's voice cut through the soft chatter of the banquet hall as he approached, his eyes darting suspiciously between her and Alex.

He noticed how closely she stood to Alex, a subtle lean that made Oscar's jaw tighten.

Lyra turned to face him, her expression shifting from sultry to cool indifference. "Must I report my every move to you, Oscar?"

He bristled.

"Well, we came here together, didn't we?" His tone was laced with jealousy.

Oscar had pursued Lyra for years, longing to win over one of Vancouver's most renowned beauties.

Their relationship had seemed promising, especially after he'd invested in her business.

Alex observed the exchange, noting the swift transformation in Lyra's demeanor- from a seductive vixen to a poised, unyielding queen-as she confronted Oscar.

Now he clearly understood why people said a man wants a lady in the streets and a freak in the sheets.

"That doesn't give you the right to question me," Lyra replied firmly.

Oscar's gaze shifted to Alex, a sneer forming on his lips.

"I know you," he said coldly. "You're the guy who married Sophia for her money, right? A gold-digger scamming his way into fortunes. Now you're trying to do the same with Lyra?"

"Enough, Oscar," Lyra interjected. "You have no idea what you're talking about.”

"I'm just warning you," he retorted. "Don't let this con artist take advantage of you."

Ignoring his accusations, Lyra pulled out her smartphone and tapped the screen with practiced ease.

"I've transferred your two-million-dollar investment back to you, along with the three hundred thousand profit. Check your account."

Oscar stared at her, bewildered. "What? Why?"

"We're done," she stated plainly. "I don't want to see you, speak to you, or have any further dealings with you. I'm tired of your attempts to control me."

His face paled.

"You're breaking things off with me for this... nobody?" Disbelief and hurt laced his voice.

She met his gaze unflinchingly. "And if I am? That's my choice."

"Lyra, you can't do this," Oscar pleaded. "I thought we had something special."

She gave a slight, dismissive shrug. "We did a business arrangement. But clearly, that doesn't mean as much as you thought."
