The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 209

Jessica slammed her hand down on the polished oak table, Her voice echoing through the wide foyer.

"Enough of this!" She glared at Alex, her eyes wild with desperation.

"Hand over the antidote, Alex! We'll count this as our loss, but I won't let Charles die. Not like this."

Alex paused only for a split second, hatred etched into every rigid line of his jaw.

Then he turned away without a word and strode out the grand entrance, his boots pounding hard against the marble floor.

The echo lingered, mocking Jessica's plea.

Jessica's heart sank. She could see it clearly: Alex had no intention of saving Charles.

Charles clutched his side, trembling as unbearable pain crawled through his veins.

Sweat poured down his temples, his face a mask of pure agony.

"I'm sorry!" he shouted, his voice shaking as he fought to stay upright. "Please... just give me the antidote, I swear I won't ever cross your path again!"

His pride-once unshakeable-had shattered under the threat of death.

It took everything in him to spit those words out, to humble himself before someone he'd always treated as beneath him.

But Alex was long gone.

Jasmine stood still, her posture poised, her gaze a bladed edge slicing the thick tension.

Alex just whispered to her,

"In a world that devours the soft-hearted, kindness becomes a liability, and mercy a fatal flaw."

Jessica's eyes snapped to her.

"Jasmine," she yelled, "Give your brother the antidote-now."

Jasmine folded her arms, her sigh carrying a lifetime's worth of frustration.

"Must you always defend Charles, Mother? Even now, when he's the one trying to destroy me?"

Jessica's restraint frayed. "Stop it!" she hissed, turning on her daughter. "He is your brother!"
