The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 204

Ay hour later, Alex and Jasmine strolled through the grand double doors of Kingston Mansion as if it were a casual "Sunday jaunt.

At the center of the lavish sitting room sat Charles, flanked by Jessica (Jasmine's mother) and an elegant old man with a posture so rigid it might crack.

The old man's eyes roved over everything with quiet calculation.

Jasmine's heartbeat thudded in her ears, but she managed a cold smile. "Mother, you summoned me. Spill."

Jessica's expression was as frosty as the marble floors beneath them. "I want no family drama right now-only professionalism. Can you do that, Jasmine?"

Jasmine turned to Charles and raised an eyebrow. "I assume you have some brilliance to share, big brother?"

Charles steepled his fingers in theatrical calm, but his tone snapped like a whip.

"Let's skip the niceties. You and I both own shares of Kingston Pharmaceuticals, but the bulk belongs to Mother's side of the family. They've appointed me to evaluate your... performance." His smugness dripped from each word like venom.

Jasmine scoffed, tossing her hair back. "Sure. since you can't rise to the top on your own, you're taking my companies down one by one. How original."

Jessica cleared her throat, eyes narrowing with disapproval. "Jasmine, watch your mouth."

"That's me being polite," Jasmine retorted. "Let's cut to the chase. What do you want?"

Charles spread his arms wide in an ostentatious show of concern. "Oh, many things. But first, let's address Lydia's death." He paused, letting the words hang in the air like a noose.

"I'm here to find out why you killed her."

Jasmine's eyes flashed with fury. "And you actually have the nerve to ask? Lydia tried to murder me, Charles./ Would you prefer I sent her a fruit basket?"

He offered a mocking shrug. "Families lie. Witnesses vanish. I'm not here as your dear brother anymore. I represent our mother's family, and they demand answers. If that's inconvenient for you... tough."

Cold anger pulsed in Jasmine's veins.
