Chapter 255

Now that Skin Dew Essence had slipped through Kingston Pharmaceuticals' fingers, the family simmered with resentment.

But Charles saw more than loss; he glimpsed an opportunity-one that, if seized boldly enough, could catapult him straight past Jasmine, cementing his authority once and for all.

"Charles," Jessica said carefully, watching her son's eyes glint with ambition, "Jasmine's already got a new product ready to launch. Don't you think betting everything we have might be reckless?"

"Mother," Charles scoffed bitterly, rolling his eyes, “Jasmine's just bluffing. Whatever she's cooked up can only be some pathetic imitation scraped together from our leftover research data"

"Sure, Alex might have a knack for patching up bodies, but this is pharmaceutical science, not some street-level stitching" "Without real professors backing them, they're just throwing darts blindfolded. Besides, Skin Dew's patent is firmly in Jericho's grasp now-and he's already sold it off to that Chicago lord."

Jessica frowned, unconvinced. "But Jasmine insists it's entirely new product-" Charles slammed his fist down, interrupting her sharply.

"Bullshit! SkinDew took us a decade-do you really think Jasmine could conjure something groundbreaking in a month? She's playing you like a fool!"

Jessica hesitated, doubt flickering across her face. "Then how much SkinDew Essence are you planning to buy?"

"As much as possible-every last cent we have," Charles announced decisively, his voice radiating a ruthless confidence.

"Drain the family vault dry. And if that's not enough, then borrow more."

Jessica's expression darkened, anxiety mounting. "Charles, aren't we overreaching?"

Charles threw his head back, laughing mockingly at her caution.

"Overreaching? Mother, the market analysis for SkinDew Essence is phenomenal. Every millionaire in the country is practically drooling for it. If we control enough of the stock now, imagine the astronomical profits we'll reap. Trust me the return always matches the risk. Soon, even Jasmine will kneel and recognize who's truly running this family."

The next morning, Kelly urgently called Jasmine.

"Did you hear? One of the Chicago lords–the Dupont family—is planning to officially launch SkinDew Essence in just two days at the Texas Interstate Convention Hall."

With Kingswell's unmatched intelligence network, secrets rarely remained hidden.

Jasmine pressed her temples as a sharp headache spiked through her skull, then steeled herself, her eyes flashing with cold resolve.

"If they want a battle, we'll give them a war. We're launching our product too."

"You're thinking of launching on the same day?" Kelly asked, eyebrows raised in surprise.

"Exactly," Jasmine shot back, a defiant grin spreading across her lips.

"Let's see whose product the world chooses."

Kelly studied Jasmine, pride swelling in her chest at how quickly the little girl had transformed into a formidable force-bold, cunning, and dangerously smart.

Jasmine Kingston had grown teeth sharper than Albert's and wits that Charles couldn't begin to match.

"Where exactly do you want your event?" Kelly asked cautiously. Chapter 255
