The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 93

Alex burst into Kingston's penthouse office, heart pounding

Just moments earlier, Jasmine had called him in tears-something he never thought he'd witness from her.

Inside, the tension felt thick as smoke.

Jasmine was curled up on the plush leather sofa, her face buried in her trembling hands.

Nearby stood Kelly, tapping briskly on her smartwatch.

The instant Jasmine spotted Alex, she sprang from the sofa and flung herself into his arms, sobbing so hard he could feel the quake of it through his chest

This wasn't the pised, controlled Jasmine he knew; this was someone shattered, clinging to him like he was her only lifeline. 1

"Jasmine," he murmured, fighting to keep his voice steady "what happened?"

She couldn't answer, her sobs stealing her words.

Instead, he turned to Kelly, who regarded them both with a cold detachment. "Kingston just lost about a billion dollars," she said flatly.

A billion?

The number slammed into Jasmine like a punch. Her cries intensified, her grief pouring out in ragged gasps. "How?"

Kelly's gaze hardened. "Chris Roland stole Jasmine's laptop-the one with all the critical financial data." Alex frowned. "And the passwords?"

"Bianca helped him," Kelly said, her tone clipped.

"Jasmine's own secretary. She's been Chris's devotee for years, following his every Knight Game. Apparently." Jasmine looked up, her tearstained cheeks flushed with betrayal yet she still looks really gorgeous.

"I never never imagined she'd do this." Her voice wavered, raw and shaken.

"Do you think it's possible for the two of them to pull this off alone?" Alex's brow furrowed.

Kelly's expression hardened. "No. This operation was too big for those two alone. Someone high up must have helped them. Maybe even someone from the Kingston family."

"Are you sure?"

"No," Kelly admitted, lowering her gaze.

"Either someone close to the family betrayed Jasmine, or Chris and Bianca are smarter than we thought."

His mind raced. "Where's the money now?"

Kelly glanced uncertainly at Jasmine, who gave a tearful nod.
