The Almighty Dominance Chapter 238
“Mom, what the hell’s going on?”Sophia asked, her voice shaky as she looked at Florence with wide, uncertain eyes.Florence edged closer and perched on the bed, fixing Sophia with a wary gaze.“Listen, Sophia. Bella Kane attacked you, remember? Then the Kanes sent their goons to tear down our companies. Charles promised to help us out this mess, but only if I agreed to let him marry you.”“Mom—” Sophia began.“Sophia, hush,” Florence said with a pointed smile.“We’re talking about Charles Kingston here, the top dog in Vancouver, practically royalty. You couldn’t snag a better husband if you tried. You’re divorced now, and sooner or later, you’ll have to marry again. I want grandkids, and I want them from the best stock.”“Mom…” Sophia tried to speak, but Florence cut her off.“I already gave Charles my word. Your uncles are all in on it. Every single one of them wants you to marry Charles to cement an alliance between the Lancaster and Kingston families.”“The Lancaster Group board a

The instant Clara ended her 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 for

“Alex, why? Why are you so hell-bent on being this stubborn? Can’t you just apologize?”Sophia demanded, her voice trembling as disappointment flooded her eyes.She couldn’t fathom how that once boastful man had sunk so low—raising his hand against Bella, locking himself behind narrow-minded walls, brimming with jealousy, and repaying kindness with cruelty.Just an apology—how hard can it be?Sophia yearned for that slap to jolt him awake.“Sink into the darkness, Alex. Taste the agony that I’ve endured!” Charles whispered, almost lovingly, as his eyes drank in the chaos with sickening delight.There was a twisted satisfaction blooming in his chest—a vile warmth—watching them unravel, watching their faces twist in pain.Misery was his playground.And seeing others drown in it? That was the only thing that made him feel alive.He’d had to bleed a little to make his act convincing, but seeing Sophia strike Alex made triumph coil in his chest.“That was a masterpiece of a slap! He deserv

“I’ve made everything crystal clear, haven’t I? But since when have you ever trusted a single word out of my mouth?” Alex snapped.“You should’ve laid it all out for me, at the very least! How am I supposed to believe you when you never treat anything with real seriousness?” Sophia fired back, her anger seething.“So it’s my fault again,” Alex muttered, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over him.“I’m always in the wrong, no matter what I do. And you? You’re forever right. Fine. Have it your way—you’re right.”“Of course I’m right,” Sophia retorted in a sharp burst, then instantly regretted her words.“I’m done caring,” Alex growled, jerking his arm away from her grip with deliberate force.“We’re finished here. Let go of me.”His eyes bore into her as though she was a complete stranger.No—she was staring at a man who’d been pushed too far, who’d had enough.She sensed that if she let him go, he might never return to her side again.“What do you want from me, Alex? Can’t you quit act

“Pardon me, folks—out of the room, now. The patient needs quiet if she’s going to heal.”The nurse herded them into the corridor, her heels clicking like a judge’s gavel announcing adjournment.Instead of dispersing, they clustered beneath the fluorescent lights, still reeling from the bombshell that had just gone off in their lives.“Can you believe it? Alex, of all people, is the Lancaster Group’s silent bankroll!” Jack’s uncle whispered, voice rough with intrigue.“Think the guy’s hiding some secret pedigree?”“Alex?” Florence scoffed.“I dug through every record—he’s a nobody. Sure, he did a stint in the military, which makes him tough enough to hit Bella, but besides that he’s an orphan with empty pockets.”Heads nodded; the story was too tidy to question.One of the family suddenly asked, “Why are all of you looking down on Alex?”“Looking down on him?” Florence laughed.“Impossible. We simply don’t care about him. We’re not heartless. We don’t prejudge people. Even if he’s poor

The days that followed felt eerily calm, the kind of hush that settles after a tempest.Jasmine Kingston’s iron will now reigned over the streets of Vancouver.Under her genius leadership, the city rose to unprecedented heights, surpassing anything it had witnessed before.Alfred Kingston held sway over the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles.Even Kelly had carved out her domain in the rugged territory of Vermont.Though her claim was recent and largely untested, the backing from both Vancouver and L.A. was enough to keep any potential challengers at bay.Guided by the Kingston family’s teachings, Kelly’s skills blossomed with startling speed, like a flower flourishing under a midday sun.During that time, Alex had transformed a decrepit building at the edge of a slum into a humble clinic—and a refuge from the world.He kept his true identity concealed, operating the clinic for a mere two or three hours each day to provide free treatment to those who had nowhere else to go, particula

A thunderous crash split the air as the glass doors of the center were smashed in, shards spraying across the floor.Without hesitation, ten masked assassins swept inside.“Damn it, they caught up to us!” Scarlett spat. They had been ambushed along the way to the slums, where their entire security detail was wiped out.Only she and Bella survived and managed to escape—or so they thought.The assassins refused to let them go.“Bella, I’ll hold them off,” Scarlett hissed. “You have to get out through the back door.”Bella’s face had gone pale. “If I run, you’ll definitely be killed. I’m their main target, so they won’t harm me. Let me be their hostage.”“Bella, I’m your bodyguard,” Scarlett said, planting herself in front of Bella with grim resolve.“My job is to protect you—so do as I say.”A cold, ragged voice interrupted them.“No need to argue. This place has no back door—you’re not going anywhere. We’ll be taking both of you.”A middle-aged man with a scarred face stepped in, laugh

“Finally, Owen is here!” Bella let out a delighted laugh, her eyes shining with relief.“Bella! Scarlett! Are you alright?” The tall, broad-shouldered man rushed toward them, completely ignoring Alex as though he were invisible.He stood with a commanding presence, sharp-eyed and radiating an unmistakable air of nobility that set him apart from common folk.“We’re fine,” Bella answered, her voice bright with gratitude, “all thanks to Alex, who saved us.”“Oh, really?” Owen Whitman’s tone dripped with skepticism as he raked his gaze over Alex.“Bella, a man’s face doesn’t reveal his true character. You’d do well to steer clear of strangers.”Suddenly, Owen’s expression twisted. “Wait. I know you—aren’t you the Alex who had the nerve to slap Bella?”His eyes blazed with fury. “I’ve been searching everywhere for you after what you did to her.”Bella darted between Owen and Alex, her movements frantic.“Owen, stop it! It was my fault, and we’ve settled it already. My father forgave the wh

“Jericho Kane? What does he want with the Heaven Root?” Alex asked.“I heard his daughter’s suffering from a rare genetic heart condition, and he thinks the Heaven Root can save her,” Kelly explained, glancing at Alex.“Bella Kane?” Alex repeated.“Yes,” Kelly confirmed.Alex let out a weary sigh. He imagined Bella hiding her pain beneath an elegant façade. No wonder Jericho Kane spoiled her every whim and excused her worst habits.“Alex, how should we handle this?” Kelly asked, her tone unsettled by the news.“I’ve got to get my hands on that Heaven Root,” Alex declared without hesitation.“There’s no time to waste. I’ll head to Vermont today.”He stepped outside the clinic and was stunned to see a group of homeless men clashing with two brutish thugs lugging a drum.The looks on those thugs’ faces made it clear they were up to no good.“What’s going on here?” Alex demanded.“Doc, these two louts were about to pour oil around the clinic,” one of the homeless men said.“We figure they
