The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 146

Chapter 148

Sophia's heart nearly stopped when she realized no one knew that the woman they were all so eager to banish was actually Jasmine Kingston.

If her hotheaded mother and brother made a scene, the entire deal would be done for.

The Lancaster family had clawed its way back from near-ruin once before- another disaster now might just seal their fate.

But before she could make a move, Marco gently caught her by the wrist.

"Sophia, there you are. I've got someone I want you to meet,"

"This really isn't the time, Marco," she shot back, voice tight with nerves.

He didn't budge. "Wait. Tell me what's going on."

She exhaled sharply, words tumbling out in a rush.

"My mother wants to toss Alex out of here-and she has no clue that Jasmine Kingston is involved. She's basically ordering him and Jasmine to leave, and if that foolhardy plan actually goes through, the partnership with the Kingstons might go up in smoke."

Marco shrugged like it was no big deal. "Sophia, that might actually be for the best."

She blinked. "What are you talking about?"

He offered a sly grin. "I wanted to introduce you to Charles Kingston. He said if you won't continue with Jasmine, you can partner up with him instead. He'll throw in twice the investment Jasmine promised."

Sophia's jaw went slack. "Double what Jasmine's offering?"

"Exactly. And I'm sure you've heard Charles and Jasmine are butting heads."

She nodded slowly, trying to hide her skepticism. "I've picked up rumors, but I didn't think they were serious."

Marco's tone darkened slightly.

"Oh, it's deadly serious. Lines are being drawn. People are picking sides-some are with Charles, others stand with Jasmine. Listen, if you side with Charles, he'll protect you. In fact, your mother and brother might be doing you a favor by scaring Jasmine off. Less competition, more profit."
