The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 214

Chapter 216

The night had been anything but kind to Jasmine.

By dawn, her eyes were shadowed with fatigue, and every page she turned in her endless stack of documents felt heavier than the last.

She hadn't slept a wink. Just as she considered closing her eyes for a second, a firm rap on the door snapped her back to reality.

"Miss," the butler called from the hall, his tone measured but urgent. "Master Charles insists on meeting with you."

Without looking up from the paperwork, Jasmine sighed. Insists, does he? Well, he can stay outside until he collapses, for all I care."

The butler cleared his throat gently. "He's here on official business, Miss-claims he's representing some of the stock folders. He also said he won't leave until you agree to see him."

Jasmine's lips curled in a wry smile. "Typical Charles. Gets a shred of power and thinks he can barge anywhere."

She finally set her documents aside. "Fine. Let him in. If he causes trouble, I'm sure you'll handle it."

The butler inclined his head. "I'm at your service, Miss."

Not three seconds later, Charles stormed in with a smug grin plastered across his face. He scanned the room like he owned it, barely acknowledging the butler's presence.

"Jasmine," he drawled, his voice laced with forced civility. "Long night, I see?"

Jasmine rubbed her temples, refusing to give him the satisfaction of eye contact. "Cut the nonsense, Charles. You've got exactly two minutes before I throw you out."

With a loud bang, he slammed a wooden box onto her desk, causing loose papers to flutter. From inside the box, a single white pill gleamed ominously.

"Do you have any idea what this is?" he demanded, jabbing a finger at the pill as though it were a loaded weapon.
