Outside the Lancaster Building

"Jasmine,” Alex said gently, "would you mind giving Sophia another shot at finalizing the deal with Kingston?"

She lifted an eyebrow, crossing her arms. "And this is for your ex-wife's benefit?"

He hesitated. "I'm doing it for Abraham Lancaster. I promised him I'd see this through."

Jasmine regarded him for a moment, weighing his words. Finally, he exhaled, her posture relaxing.

"All right. I'll wait until they call me for the signing, then I'll sign everything professionally. But I'm not stepping back into that hall-not after the way that woman treated me."

Relief washed over Alex. He squeezed her hand lightly. "Thank you"

Inside the Private Suite

The scent of expensive cologne and polished wood filled the air as Sophia stood face-to-face with Charles Kingston, her heart hammering in her chest.

He lounged in a leather chair, exuding a confidence so smug that it made her skin crawl.

"I've heard everything from Marco," Charles began, flashing a thin, calculating smile.

"Don't worry-Kingston Enterprises is in my hands. My father wanted me to have controlling interest, though my dear sister is fussing for more power."

His words felt smooth yet treacherous, laced with hidden traps.

"But that won't last," Charles went on, leaning forward. "If you sign with her, that contract could be worthless by tomorrow. Sign with me instead, and we'll finalize everything publicly-today."

Sophia swallowed, her throat suddenly dry.

Charles tapped his fingers on the armrest.

"Just hand over your Lancaster documents. My legal team will take care of the details. In minutes, you'll have a contract that completely overshadows anything Jasmine offered-double the profit."

His voice was too polished-a seasoned predator's lure concealed by tempting promises.

Sophia nearly fell for it. The numbers were irresistible-so perfect on paper that caution seemed to slip from he nd.
