The Almighty Dominance Chapter 119
As time passed, the number of guests steadily grew in the grand Vancouver Convention Centre.Though the banquet event had yet to officially begin, Jasmine was already moving briskly between tasks.“Mr. Alex, feel free to look around. I have to excuse myself. You can ask anyone here if you need anything,” she said with a composed smile.“Alright. Thanks,” Alex replied.Jasmine turned to her event manager with a sharp gaze.“Mr. Howard, please keep a close eye on Mr. Alex. He is the most important guest for me. Whatever he wants, you treat it as my direct command. Don’t you dare make a mistake in front of him.”The older man straightened immediately and gave a respectful bow. “Yes, Miss Jasmine. I will treat him as if he were your husband.”Jasmine bit her lip and smiled widely. “Good. I’ll raise your salary by 25%.”“Thank you very much.” His tone was brimming with gratitude, though it was clear he knew exactly how to win favor.Alex rolled his eyes but let the old man guide him through

The manager, Howard, turned to Alex and smiled warmly. “Yes, this man doesn’t have an invitation...” he wanted to continue ‘but he doesn’t need one—'Before he could finish, Megan interrupted, her voice rising.“If he doesn’t have an invitation, don’t you think you should do your job and kick him out? Call the guards and get him out of here!”Howard’s smile faded as his expression turned serious.“Could you please clarify,” he asked dryly, “which part of his body you’d like us to kick?”Megan crossed her arms, her eyes blazing. “Kick his butt out of this place!”Howard sighed and calmly used his walkie-talkie. “Security, there’s an issue in back area. Please come here.”Megan’s grin widened triumphantly. “Hey loser, you’d better leave now before they drag you out and humiliate you. Don’t you feel scared yet?” she taunted.Alex still sitting and took another slow sip of his wine, completely unfazed.When the two burly guards arrived, Megan jabbed her finger at Alex. “He’s the one. Get r

Howard swept back into the banquet hall with a self-assured stride, Sophia, Megan, and Marco tagging along behind him like a trio of dutiful followers.By this point, most seats were taken, save for the last few at Alex’s table, shoved right into the dingy corner of the room.Left with no other option, they joined Alex once more, looking like they’d just been sentenced to do time.Determined to pretend he didn’t exist, they sank into their chairs.Megan leaned over, her excitement barely contained.“Oh my God, Marco, you totally pulled it off! That was incredible!”Sophia’s expression softened in gratitude as she looked at Marco.“Yes. We owe it all to Mr. Ashford. If it weren’t for his help, we wouldn’t be here.”Megan threw Alex a cutting glare, resentment flaring in her eyes.She still hadn’t forgotten how he’d supposedly ruined their day.“Exactly! Mr. Ashford is so damn talented he solved our issue with a single phone call! Unlike some people.”Marco flashed a modest grin, though

“You’re absolutely right. I took a bullet for you—same one you fired at me behind my back,” Sophia drawled, her voice rife with bitterness.Jealousy and the sting of Alex’s betrayal twisted inside her like a dust devil, tangling her emotions so tightly she couldn’t tell where anger ended and heartbreak began.“Fine. I’m scum.” Alex waved a dismissive hand.“Marco’s the white knight, and I’m the filthy liar slinging mud at him. Are you satisfied now?”The self-mockery in his voice practically dripped off every word.Fighting for vindication felt like screaming at a brick wall, given the lack of trust from the other side.“What’s with the attitude? Trying to imply I’ve accused you unfairly?” Sophia’s brow furrowed.“Not at all,” Alex said, letting out a weary sigh.“I’m the big bad wolf, right? Badmouthing the good guy, doing all the dirty deeds. Bask in your victory, if that helps.”“Bastard!” Sophia finally snapped, her frustration boiling over.She hadn’t expected him to be so spitef

Zeroing in on Sophia, Hank took a swaggering step forward, booze practically wafting off his breath. His fingers reached for her chin—Crack! Sophia’s palm struck with a force that echoed around the room like a rifle shot. An angry crimson print blazed across his cheek.His bravado vanished faster than a tumbleweed in a windstorm.“You… you dare slap me?” Hank rasped, touching his throbbing cheek.Sophia’s voice came out cold and calm. “Not only did I slap you, I’m calling the police. You’re nothing but a lecherous creep.”“Bitch!” Hank spat, his features contorting with fury as he raised his hand to strike back.Before he could land a blow, Marco stepped up and gave him a hard shove.“You lowlife piece of trash,” Marco hissed. “You really think you can pull this crap here? Looking to get your skull cracked open?”Hank stumbled. “You better keep out of this, or you’ll regret it!”Marco just gave a humorless chuckle. “That a threat? Go on, show me what you’ve got.”Confident as ever, h

“Hell, would you look at that poor sap?” someone snorted from the sidelines.“Dumb fool went and messed with the son of Sir Drake. Bet he’s toast.”“What’d he think he was doin’, picking a fight first like that?” another bystander added, spitting a wad of tobacco.“Tryin’ to play the hero, and now he’s gettin’ stomped like a bug.”“And that woman, Sophia Lancaster?” a raspy voice chimed in. “She should’ve been down on her knees thanking Jasper for payin’ her any mind.”“I heard that anytime Jasper sets his sights on a gal, he sends Hank to grab her in the dead of night,” someone else murmured.The rumors spread faster than crows on a carcass, the air stinking of their fearful blame for Marco and Sophia.Hank let out a low, nasty chuckle as he proceeded to work Marco over.Each punch echoed like thunder. “You think you’re some kind of tough guy? Show me that backbone, you miserable piece of trash!”“Please… stop…” Marco’s voice came out ragged, his face battered and bloody. It was all

“No, Mama has seen all kinds of ugly, and she knows—the Lord never created an ugly creature,” the big guy said.“Really?” one of the thugs drawled, cocking an eyebrow and scratching his greasy hair. “If that ain’t ugly, then I reckon I’ve never seen ugly a day in my life.”“Ah, ma said,” the big guy went on, his voice thick with smugness, “it’s because she’s got an ugly heart. When your heart’s rotten, it drags your face, your personality, and your whole body down to hell with it.”“Sure enough,” a third scumbag piped up, nodding like he’d just discovered the meaning of life.The bystanders looked on in stunned silence, wondering how these half-witted goons managed to cook up such twisted nonsense.“But hey,” the biggest of the bunch announced, stomping his boots on the ground for emphasis, “I know how to fix that problem right quick.”He lumbered up to Megan, crouched just enough to leer into her face with mocking concern, and said in a syrupy tone, “Next time, sugar, don’t go havin’

Jasper wasn’t much of a fighter himself, but one look at Alex—coiled like a panther about to strike—told him the man was dangerous.Licking his lips, Jasper forced a shaky grin and took a step back.“You know what?” he said. “This isn’t the age of warriors anymore. We’re past the days of letting our fists do the talking. Times have changed, and you should know that.”Alex raised an eyebrow. “Oh really? Enlighten me—what’s changed?”Jasper didn’t answer. Instead, he gestured to his men.Around twenty of them pressed in, thugs of all shapes and sizes, each wearing a smug, predatory grin and weapons on their hands.The iron baton in one man’s hand whistled through the air, a warning of the violence to come.A hush swept over the watching crowd.Faces turned pale as the realization sank in—Alex was surrounded.Yet Alex didn’t even blink. If anything, the corners of his mouth curved upward in a slow, almost taunting smile.Raising a hand, he pointed at Jasper. Then he beckoned with a “come

It was an evening at the Vermont Club—a sanctuary reserved exclusively for those who held Vermont's true reins of power.In the lavish hall, beneath chandeliers that scattered golden light, people sipped cocktails, pretending to enjoy the music while secretly plotting their next move, scheming how to slice the largest portion from the governor’s pie.Bella Kane slumped onto the velvet sofa, chin resting listlessly in her palms.In front of her, a lively group of youths laughed and sang, their voices echoing mockingly around her indifferent ears.Across the room, grey-haired power brokers exchanged cunning whispers, eyes narrowed with hidden agendas."Bella," Scarlett sighed impatiently from beside her, "your father tasked you to charm Kelly Kingston on behalf of the Kane family. So why are you sulking here like a deflated balloon?"Scarlett's voice was tinged with irritation and bewilderment.Ever since recovering from her illness, Bella had transformed from the fierce rock-and-roll q

Jasmine strode forward, her heels clicking like gunshots across the polished marble floor, eyes blazing with barely restrained fury as she confronted Henry Dupont.“Careful, Henry,” she warned, her voice icy but edged with fire.“Accusations without proof could burn you alive.”Henry threw his head back and laughed bitterly, the sound cutting through the murmurs of anticipation like a razor blade.“Oh, isn't she priceless?” He swung around to face the crowd, his voice rising sharply, deliberately loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.“Do you all hear this nonsense? Last month, Kingston Pharmaceutical’s chief of medical research and his elite team lost all faith in Jasmine Kingston's sham leadership and abandoned ship. Who could blame them?”“Those brilliant minds took the SkinDew patent—legally theirs—and fled to Kane Pharmaceutical.”“They perfected SkinDew there, away from Jasmine's incompetence!” Henry sneered dramatically, relishing every scathing word.He jabbed an accusing f

“The Emerald Elixir is dangerous?” Murmurs erupted like wildfire, spreading panic and suspicion through the hall.At the heart of the disruption stood a police officer, rotund with arrogance and disdain plainly painted on his flushed, perspiring face.His voice boomed obnoxiously, a smug sneer twisting his lips, “When I declare something dangerous, you better believe it's deadly!”Jasmien’s eyes widened in shock, her heart plunging to her stomach.This was a disaster she hadn't anticipated.An incident like this at her meticulously arranged press conference spelled doom.Even if the product was later proven harmless, Kingston Pharmaceutical’s reputation still hung by a thread.The media would pounce first—and by the time the truth surfaced, the damage would already be irreversible. The stain on their name could outlast the facts, lingering like a shadow.The word “dangerous” echoed ominously, branding the Elixir with a toxic stigma—a curse that could doom its commercial future.From a

Charles stormed toward Jasmine's hall, only to halt abruptly, his jaw dropping in disbelief.The hall was already swarming, packed so tightly it seemed to ripple with anticipation.People jostled for seats, their excitement palpable, like sharks sensing blood.Staff scrambled to form a protective barricade around Dr. Joane, who stood serenely conversing with Alex, entirely indifferent to the seething crowd pressing closer.Jasmine watched gleefully, a predatory smile tugging at her lips.Clearly, using Dr. Joane as bait had worked far better than she'd dared hope.Standing tall, Jasmine seized a microphone, her voice ringing like polished steel through the restless chatter."Thank you all for your overwhelming enthusiasm. Unfortunately, due to the sheer number gathered here today, only our top ten customers will have the exclusive honor of consulting directly with Dr. Joane."She gestured grandly to the eager faces, eyes gleaming with triumph."For now, please find your seats. Our pre

At that precise moment, the grandeur of Dupont’s event erupted into full bloom.The massive double doors swung open, and a wave of guests surged inside, voices rising with excitement as they scrambled to claim their seats.The atmosphere crackled with electric anticipation.Henry Dupont scanned the rapidly growing crowd, a smug, triumphant smile stretching across his face.They had finally outsmarted Kingston, beating them to the punch.Even Kingston's desperate, last-minute attempt at hosting their conference across the way was doomed from the start.Without guests, it was little more than a pathetic joke.Henry chuckled darkly, his heart swelling with arrogant satisfaction.The lord of Chicago had decisively won this round.Everything was unfolding flawlessly.By day's end, SkinDew Essence would dominate headlines and conversations, spreading like wildfire.Whatever scraps Kingston might later produce would simply languish in the shadow of his glorious success.His ambitious vision—

Only after Jasmine had disappeared into the crowd did Charles finally register her words, fury igniting inside him like a wildfire.“Absolute nonsense!” he snarled, his face twisting in contempt."SkinDew Essence is practically gold dust right now! People are begging on their knees, throwing money at us just to get a single drop. Your pathetic jealousy is showing, Jasmine!"His voice was dripping venom, disdain echoing in every syllable.But Jasmine had already dismissed him entirely.She gracefully looped her arm through Alex’s, her face serene with confidence, as they vanished into the empty hall.“Hmph! She really has no grasp of reality!” Charles spat bitterly, eyes narrowing viciously as he watched them vanish."Pathetic—just scrambling desperately to make trouble as a final act of desperation! Soon enough, the Duponts will crush her underfoot. And when the lawsuits pour in over her half-baked product, she’ll beg for mercy!"Meanwhile, the Texas Interstate Convention Hall steadil

Now that SkinDew 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, SkinDew’s patent is firmly in Jericho’s grasp now—and he's already sold it off to that Chicago lord.”

“Dr. Joane,” Jasmine purred with a coy smirk, leaning forward with predatory grace.“This information is our company's deepest secret. But, if you're willing to join us formally, I'll gladly reveal the mastermind behind Emerald Elixir—provided he's willing to show his hand.”“You certainly know how to play your cards, don’t you?” Joane retorted bitterly, recognizing Jasmine’s carefully laid trap.“Alright, hand me the damn contract. I'll sign.”Jasmine’s secretary swiftly produced the document, and Joane scrawled her signature, sealing her fate.Meanwhile, Jasmine cast a mischievous glance toward Alex, eyes glinting with cunning amusement. “Can I reveal the genius behind our elixir now?”Alex scowled faintly, irritated by Jasmine’s blatant manipulation.Clearly, she viewed him as nothing more than bait to ensnare Dr. Joane.“Fine,” Alex sighed resignedly. “Given my stake in this venture, I suppose I can't refuse.”“Thanks, Alex. I keep owing you more and more,” Jasmine teased, winking

An hour earlier, Sophia had stepped quietly out of the hospital doors, a ghostly shadow haunted by restless thoughts.For days, she'd kept her family at arm's length, erecting an invisible barrier around her wounded heart.Her soul felt raw, tormented by relentless doubts about Alex.Perhaps she had always been unfair, perhaps she should have trusted him sooner.After all, their marriage was already torn to shreds; yet, somewhere deep inside, she knew Alex deserved an apology far greater than her pride allowed.Paying a discreet detective employed by her family, Sophia easily uncovered the small clinic Alex ran near the slums.Guided by the instructions of her GPS, she drove slowly through the grimy streets, her eyes hollow with anticipation and dread.As she approached, the sight of bodyguards patrolling the perimeter, stern-faced and vigilant, set her pulse racing.Her heart twisted painfully upon glimpsing Jasmine standing intimately close to Alex, radiating confidence and allure.
