The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 154

Chapter 156

"Don't any of you fret," Jarvis murmured, his voice as steady as a loaded gun. "I'm not about to rip your nails off just for fun."

He spoke so casually that it sent a chill straight through the crowd. One look at him, and they knew he was perfectly capable of following through.

Everyone shrank back, fear gnawing at their insides. This man had the kind of presence that made people obey without question.

"Alright then," Jarvis went on, folding his arms across his chest. Let's get straight to it: Were any of you involved in my brother's death?"

A wave of panic rippled through the group, like a stampede of anxious cattle.

"Us? We had nothing to do with it!"

"It's true! We're innocent!"

"Lieutenant, you've got this all wrong! None of us killed Sir Drake!

Their frantic denials filled the air, each person terrified that a single misstep would seal their fate.

"That so?" Jarvis let out a harsh, humorless laugh.

"Jasper!" He jerked his chin, beckoning the limping man forward. "Take a good look at these folks."

"I'm here," Jasper snarled as he hobbled across the room.

His eyes skimmed over the crowd and landed on Sophia.

A flicker of lust turned to dark resentment in the same heartbeat.

With his injury, he was no longer able to indulge his desires-even for such a captivating woman.

"Uncle, it's her-Sophia!" he spat.

"She's tied up in my father's death. She was with her, and then-bang!-he's dead. But she is safe. Looks mighty suspicious, don't it?"

He flung his arm toward Marco, eyes blazing with accusation.

"And him! He's always circling her like a damn guard dog, ready to jump to her defense. If she's involved, then so is he! No way he's sitting this one out!"
