Dominic clenched his teeth, seething with resentment coursing through him.
Despite Jonah holding the title of company president, his arrogance stemmed from being Winston's eldest son.
He showed no regard for Dominic's seniority, speaking to him as if he were a superior reprimanding an underling.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe entire family, young and old alike, treated Dominic with the sair of superiority, looking down on him from their lofty perches. They never took him seriously.
How could Dominic swallow his pride in the face of such treatment? "Let it go, Jonah. Your uncle knows when he's wrong," Winston interjected wearily, gesturing with a tired hand.
He wanted to put an end to the discussion. "I'm fine now, Dominic. Your visit means a lot to me. You've shown that you still care. You can leave now." Winston had said all he could to salvage Dominic's dignity.
"Winston, what happened this twas my fault." Dominic's tone turned grave. "But consider, throughout the years, how I've supported you. I've dedicated decades to expanding the KS Group, enduring countless hardships along the way.
"When you were unable to act, | was the one braving the elements and navigating difficult projects in distant and inhospitable places. | stood by your side every step of the way." Alyssa gritted her teeth, suspecting Dominic harbored sulterior motive behind his sudden display of vulnerability.
Winston frowned and nodded. "Yes, | understand it hasn't been easy for you all these years." "I've never asked for anything in return, only hoping that you would recognize our bond as brothers and letoff the hook," Dominic continued, casting a venomous glance at Jasper. "But | never imagined you would conspire with your future son-in-law to make my life difficult.
"If you have grievances against me, confrontsirecoyB ere was no need to air our family's dirty laundry in front of outsiders and resort to such tactics to pressure and humiliate me." Jasper's eyebrows furrowed in surprise, and he swallowed hard, realizing that Dominic was directing his fury toward him as an outsider. Dominic was Winston's brother, and any retaliation from Jasper would likely play into Dominic's hands, potentially tarnishing Winston's favorable view of him.
Caught off guard, Winston looked at Jasper with an inexplicable gaze.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile the others remained oblivious to the underlying tension, Jonah couldn't bear to witness Dominic unfairly accusing Jasper. Just as he was about to speak up in Jasper's defense, Alyssa intervened, swiftly coming to her lover's aid.
"Uncle Dominic, what were you thinking when you misused public funds to cover your investment losses? Did you think no one would find out?" Alyssa's accusation left Dominic momentarily speechless.
"No one is an outsider here, not even Jasper. He's my partner. | won't mince my words any longer. I'll speak frankly," Alyssa declared, firmly standing by Jasper's side.
Her voice dripped with sarcasm as she continued, "If you don't want your actions exposed, then don't engage in them. You've displayed greed and ignorance, dabbling in investments without sufficient knowledge and resorting to deceitful tactics.
"If my father hadn't intervened, you would have faced legal consequences. Do you truly believe you'd be here discussing this nonsense if that were the case?" "Alyssa, how dare you!" Dominic sputtered, attempting to defend himself.
But Alyssa was relentless. "If you were aware of the potential consequences of your actions, why did you engage in them? It's clear you don't understand the gravity of your mistakes." Jasper gazed at Alyssa with admiration, silently appreciating her strength and conviction.
Dominic's face flushed with anger. But before he could respond, Alyssa delivered her final blow. "Do you think Jasper wanted to uncover your wrongdoing? He knows because | confided in him. There are no secrets between us. Thanks to you, for the first time, | can't stand before my partner with my head held high."
