The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 239

The Instant Clara ended lier tale, Alex went rigid, rooted to the floor.

He hadn't expected her to flip the entire narrative in front of everyone and leave him hanging like a thief caught red-handed. "Did you all hear that?" Florence screeched, her voice slicing through the ballroom chatter.

"There it is-the naked truth! Let's see you wriggle out of this one Alex!"

"Ungrateful doesn't even begin to cover it," she piled on.

"You twist kindness into poison and spit it back at the people who saved you. Utterly shameless."

The Lancasters hissed and spat, recoiling as if he carried a plague.

Their eyes drilled holes in him, seething with contempt.

Tears streaked down Clara's cheeks. "I'm sorry, everyone. I didn't want to end up dead at Bella's hands, so I hid the bracelet in Sophia's bag. I did it to survive- because Bella's real target is Alex. I'm sorry."

Florence swooped in, wrapping an arm around Clara. "Don't worry, dear. We understand. This all started because of Alex. Sophia will forgive you."

The evidence felt ironclad; Alex could argue until sunrise and still drown in their verdict.

Jack stepped forward, finger stabbing the air.

"After everything you've pulled, don't you think it's time you apologized to Clara, to Sophia-hell, to everyone here?"

Alex shook his head. "I didn't make a mistake. And if I ever do, I clean it up myself."

Sophia let out a weary sigh.

Disappointment etched her face. She'd tossed him lifelines all night, and he kept cutting them with the same blunt

stubbornness.

It was almost as if he craved the noose.

"You clean your mess?" Jack scoffed, savoring the spectacle.

"You disgusting fraud. Charles put this whole rescue together, and you dare lie to his face in front of us all?"

"Charles, you know exactly what's going on," Alex snapped, then pinned Clara with a hard stare.
