The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 86

The next morning, Sophia informed Alex that she needed to meet with her family

to address the escalating crisis facing the Lancaster Group.

"Will you come with me?" she asked.

"Sure," Alex replied.

They arrived at the Lancaster Mansion, where the entire extended family had gathered.

Her grandmother, Amelia, fixed her with a stern gaze.

"Sophia, as the CEO of Lancaster Group, you're our only hope. The company is teetering on the brink-we won't be able to pay our employees in a few days. And Charles Cole is threatening to seize our assets over the loans Chris took out in our company." 1

Murmurs of agreement rippled through the room.

Sophia took a deep breath. "Grandmother, I plan to meet with Mr. Cole today to renegotiate the loans. Additionally, we've secured a partnership with Kingston Corporation. I'm hopeful he might extend us further credit."

Her grandmother's expression softened slightly.

She stepped forward and placed a frail hand on Sophia's shoulder. "I knew I could count on you. You've grown into a capable leader. We're entrusting this to you."

Alex watched from the sidelines.

It infuriated him to see the family heap all their burdens onto Sophia, expecting her to save them while they offered nothing but pressure.

As they left the mansion, Sophia's shoulders sagged under the weight of responsibility.

"I'll drive you to meet Charles," Alex offered gently.

"Thank you," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

They settled into the car, and as Alex started the engine, he glanced over at her. "Have you thought about asking Kingston for an advance on the partnership?"

She shook her head. “I can't risk it. They're a crucial partner, and we've already stretched their goodwill. Asking for more could jeopardize everything."

He wanted to tell her that she could ask for anything-that he had the means to help-but he held back, unsure if she'd believe him.

"Alright," he said quietly. "Just know I'm here for you."
