The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 129

Jason was too shocked to process what was happening. His mouth opened, but no words came out as he turned pale under the weight of the situation. Jasmine's sharp eyes scanned the room, her voice cutting through the tense air.

"Does anyone here still fear the Drakes more than the Kingstons? she asked, her words slow and deliberate, carrying a chilling undertone.

"What?!" Jason's voice cracked, his mind spiraling into chaos. "That's impossible!" Reality crashed down on him like a tidal wave.

Across the room, whispers spread like wildfire.

The people in attendance began to realize that Kingston, not Drake, was the true ruler of Vancouver.
