The Almighty Dominance

That morning, the Lancaster mansion was anything but peaceful.

In the grand living room, Florance stood in front of Justin, practically shaking with

anger.

"You're worthless as a father!" she shouted. "All you do is sit around watching garbage on TV!"

Justin frowned, more irritated than surprised: "What do you want from me?"

"How about acting like a dad for once? Our daugliter is in trouble over that massive loan. You need to help figure out a solution!" Florance's frustration bled through her every word.

Justin let out a tired sigh. "And what exactly do you expect me to do?"

"Look at the bigger picture! Your brother is already waiting for Sophia to fail so he can give Mike her position in the company. We can't let that happen!"

Rolling his eyes, Justin scrolled aimlessly on his phone. "I don't have that kind of money, and you know it." Florance glared at him. "You're good for nothing except your so-called manhood!"

"Fine!" Justin snapped. "What do you want me to do?"

"Marco Ashford," Florance said, her voice firm. "He's always liked Sophia. Now that Chris Roland's out of the picture, Marco might be interested in her again."

"But Sophia's already married," Justin pointed out, his brow creasing.

Florance scoffed. "Not officially, not in our eyes. That man she married is just a leech clinging to our daughter." Justin gave a weary shrug. "Have it your way."

A satisfied smile spread across Florance's face as she dialed her phone. "Marco, hi! It's Florance. How have you been?"

"Florance! Good to hear from you." Marco's friendly tone purred through the receiver. "What's on your mind?" "Oh, nothing urgent," Florance said sweetly, dancing around her true intentions. "Just wanted to catch up on how you've been."

Marco chuckled. "I'm doing fine, thanks. How about Sophia?"

Florance's smile tightened. "She's doing very well, actually She just took over as director of the Lancaster Group." "Congratulations to her!" Marco replied, genuinely pleased
