The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 273

Jericho Kane couldn't sleep.

Anxiety gnawed at him relentlessly, twisting his stomach in knots

He had explicitly warned his helicopter pilot to avoid any confrontation with Alex, praying silently that no trouble had ensued.

But at that very moment, a violent roar pierced through the night air-the unmistakable thunder of helicopter blades slicing the darkness.

His pulse quickened as he rished outside.

The chopper descended heavily onto the square, sending dust and leaves spiraling chaotically.

The pilot stumbled out, his face ghostly pale, eyes wide with terror

"What happened? Where is Mister Alex?" Jericho demanded urgently, grabbing the pilot's trembling shoulder.

The pilot struggled to form words, each one choked out in panic.

The more Jericho heard, the more his blood ran cold, a bone-deep dread settling over him like a suffocating fog.

"Promise me you'll keep everything you've seen tonight a secret, Jericho ordered sharply.

"Believe me, sir, I want nothing more than to erase this night from my memory forever," the pilot stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.

With dread thickening his steps, Jericho stormed back inside, his voice echoing harshly through the hall.

"Butler! Summon Bella and Scarlet to the main hall immediately!"

Minutes later, Bella and Scarlet hurried in, confusion and unease shadowing their faces.

"Father? Why have you called us at this hour?" Bella asked cautiously.

Without warning, Jericho's palm crashed mercilessly against Scarlet's face.

The brutal slap hurled her body against the nearby table, the crash resounding throughout the hall.

"Father! What on earth are you doing?" Bella cried out, rushing forward to aid Scarlet.

"Ask her yourself!" Jericho snarled, his face twisted with fury.

He swiftly drew a sword from its ornamental sheath on the wall, tossing it roughly to Scarlet's feet.

"If you truly comprehend the gravity of your mistake, Scarlet, then cut off your arm with that blade! It's the only way I might spare your worthless life-but know this: from tonight onward, you are no longer my niece!"

Bella's eyes widened in horror. "Father! What has gotten into you? Scarlet couldn't possibly deserve this!"

Jericho's rage surged uncontrollably.
