The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 338

Chapter 338

Sophia couldn't grasp why Alex was treating her so harshly.

Didn't he realize she'd given up everything just to ensure his safety?

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to think positively. Perhaps the military ordeal had left him shaken and unsettled.

Maybe he was just hurt, emotionally raw.

She stepped forward cautiously, eyes full of concern.

"Alex, what's wrong? Are you injured? Do we need to get you to a hospital?" Her voice trembled slightly with genuine worry.

Alex stared back incredulously, unable to fathom her thinking.

How could she be standing next to another man yet still pretend to care about him?

Was there something seriously wrong with her head?

He glared, bitterness coloring every word, "I'm perfectly fine, Ms. Lancaster.

Thank you very much for your concern. But maybe you should worry more about your date. Your boyfriend deserves your full attention."

"Boyfriend?" Sophia glanced nervously at Gilbert, instantly realizing the misunderstanding.

She turned desperately back to Alex. "No, Alex, you've got this all wrong. We're just friends."

Gilbert's expression darkened, eyes narrowing sharply.

"Friends? Sophia, we're discussing marriage seriously. At the very least, I'm your fiancé."

"Gilbert, please-" Sophia pleaded.

"No, Sophia, you listen to me," Gilbert cut her off coldly.

"You made a promise. Laura has already fulfilled her end of the deal. Are you really going back on your word after everything she's done?"

Sophia's heart sank painfully. She stared pleadingly at Alex, her mind reeling.

The deal she'd struck with Gilbert and Laura was the only reason Alex was safe

now.

And if they had fulfilled their obligations, she had to honor her side of the bargain. With a forced smile masking deep anguish, Sophia gestured toward Gilbert.
