The Almighty Dominance novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28

He had his own affairs to handle, which the Lancasters could only dream of reaching his level.

With just a snap of his fingers, he could make their wildest wishes a reality.

If he so desired, the wealthiest families in the city could lose everything, their fortunes vanishing and businesses crumbling into bankruptcy.

But what good would it do to explain this to a woman as arrogant and narrow–minded as Mrs. Lancaster?

Still, Mrs. Lancaster snorted, her displeasure written clearly across her face.

In her eyes, Alex was not only an incompetent son–in–law, but he also couldn’t help Sophia in the slightest. And yet, he had the audacity to speak freely while depending entirely on their daughter.,

She wished Chris had made his proposal sooner, perhaps their daughter wouldn’t have married this worthless mang

“No, she has to make it happen. Sophia must divorce him and marry Chris–that will be her life’s purpose,” Sophia’s mother thought.

She knew that Grandmother Lancaster would help confront Grandfather Lancaster.

The old man didn’t have many years left to live, while she still had a long life ahead.

She couldn’t resist the urge to humiliate Alex even more, driving that jerk out of her life for good.

“Bullshit! How can worthless man like you have a business” she sneered.

“If you had any business, you would’ve at least provided our daughter with a mansion.”

“But you can’t even claim a small apartment, can you?”

“Apartment?” Mr. Lancaster scoffed, shaking his head.

“As a poor, deadbeat, how could he even dream of owning an apartment?”

“He’s completely parasite who reliant on our daughter and this family!”

“What a scrounger! What does he contribute to us? Nothing but his stomach for free food!”

“He’s an embarrassment to Sophia and all of us!”

Alex’s brow furrowed.

If it weren’t for Grandpa Abraham and Sophia, he would have already given them a taste of their own medicine.

“Ahem!” Grandpa Abraham cleared his throat, clearly displeased.

“Enough of this nonsense! Where are your manners?”

The room fell silent.

“Why can’t you all behave like a proper family?”

Grandpa Abraham sighed, shaking his head in frustration.

“Alex is a good man and a great husband to Sophia. Just give him a chance, will you?”

Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster nodded reluctantly, but their eyes rod a different story.

Yes, they’d give Alex a chance a chance to leave their family and go back to his reckless ways.

Grandpa Abraham stood up. “I’m tired. I need a nap.”

“I suggest you all take some time to talk over lunch and try to bond”

He gestured for Alex to follow him.

“And Alex, remember to help Sophila. The Kingston membership is a significant opportunity!”

“I’m certain that spending time together will strengthen your bond.

“After all, you’re young and full of life,” Grandpa Abraharn added with a wink, clearly hoping for a grandchild.

Alex smiled. “Of course. I’ll help Sophia. It’s no big deal. ”

Grandpa Abraham thanked Alex and retired to his room.

Meanwhile, Sophia had overheard their entire conversation and couldn’t help but frown at Alex’s shameless boasting

How dare he dismiss the importance of the Kingston membership?

“No big deal?”

Really?

What effort had he made to assist her so far?

Did he secure the invitation to the banquet for her?

Absolutely not!

Did he have any meaningful connections in the city?

Not a single one!

Her blood boiled with frustration.

This bumpkin constantly bragged about his imaginary talents but never lifted a finger to help her.

Even if he wanted to, how could he?

What could a man from the forest possibly understand about the intricacies of high society?

He would only bring shame to her and her family.

“I see you’ve honed your talent for deception. It’s quite impressive,” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Alex narrowed his eyes. “What are you trying to say?”

“You lied to Grandpa. You told him you’d help me,” she scoffed.

“But what can you possibly do? Are you planning to secure the Kingston membership through sheer arrogance? Or have you magically become Mr. Albert’s godson overnight?”

Alex shrugged, responding calmly.

“You can believe what you want. But don’t be like a fish chasing shiny pebbles.”

Chapter 28

Sophia’s eyes narrowed.

“Is this about Chris? You’re still fealous of him, aren’t you? Instead of being envious, why not try learning from him? Better yet, worship him if you must–beg for his favor to help us.”

“There’s no need. In fact, he is the one who should be begging for my favor, you know?

Alex replied flatly.

Sophia stared at him, utterly shocked by his audacity.

Was he really that shameless and boastful?

He didn’t care about helping her he was just jealous of Chris’s success, trying to steal onto his achievements for

himself.

He constantly bragged about living in the luxurious Golden Mansion–something her family had only en dreamed of—and acted as if gaining membership in the prestigious Kingston family, which they had worked toward for decades, was a simple feat.

She could barely resist the urge to smack that loser in the head.

Normally calm and elegant, being around him brought out her inner barbarian.

With an attitude like his, he would only drag her down.

No, she couldn’t let that happen!
