The directors stared at each other hesitantly. Finally, one of the eldest directors spoke up with a


    cautious and polite smile. "We will vote for you, Ms. Alyssa. We shall follow your orders in the future."


    The rest of the directors immediately agreed with him.


    The rest of the meeting went on smoothly after Alyssa settled Dominic. After checking off her three


    items on the agenda, she gracefully sat up in her chair and beamed at the directors. "I appreciate you


    taking the time to attend the meeting.


    "Let''s work well together for the future of KS Group. I won''t take up more of your precious time. That''s


    all for today."


    Then, she marched toward the door in great strides with Sean following closely behind. Once again,


    she came to a stop behind Dominic and turned to face him. Slowly bending over, she whispered to him


    with disdain, "Just look at you. You have nothing to defeat me with."


    Dominic shook in anger.


    She cautioned him, "Uncle Dominic, I won''t hurt you if you find a nice ce to retire in. But if you try


    anything funny, I will do more than just kick you out of thepany."


    "Ms. Alyssa, you were so cool and sassy in there! You were so awesome! Did you see Dominic''s face


    just now?" Sean''s eyes sparkled in excitement when he was on his way back to the president''s office.


    He bbered, "He looked like he had just stepped into shit! That was cathartic!"


    "Did he really think that he could stop me from taking over as president and vice president with the help


    of a few losers? He underestimated me." She walked briskly down the corridor. "I want him to pay


    double for what he has taken from our family."


    "One question, though. Since you have evidence of Dominic harming Mr. Winston, why didn''t you turn


    them over to the police? Let them deal with him. Lock him up for a few weeks."


    "Firstly, getting Dominic under detention will not solve the root issue. Bringing the issue back into the


    spotlight will only hurt Winston''s feelings for the second time." She looked pensive and worried.


    "Secondly, we need to hit him where it hurts.


    "Dominic had his Achilles'' heel in his title within the KS Group, while Winston had his own


    vulnerabilities. He had only been able to lie and scam because he was Winston''s brother and a director


    of KS Group.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    "Winston turned a blind eye to Dominic''s activities only because Dominic was his brother. Too bad that


    won''t work with me. I can''t tolerate any single misstep, not to mention Dominic''s bullshit!"


    Though Sean was angry at Dominic, he felt tickled by Alyssa''s cursing. They arrived at her office. She


    promptly entered the room, but Sean sensibly stayed by the door.


    "Jasper?" Her eyes widened at the sight of Jasper, and her heart pounded wildly. He stood in the


    center of her office, looking tall and hot and holding a bunch of gorgeous roses in full bloom. With one


    look, she could tell that he had bought a bouquet of 999 roses.


    "You seem to be in high spirits. The meeting must have gone well." Jasper plucked the most brilliant


    rose in the bouquet and went up to her with an affectionate look.


    He went on one knee and handed her the rose. He said in a raspy, low voice, "Darling, you''ve had a


    long day. This is a token of appreciation. Hope you like it."


    Tearing up, she touched the rose and tried to stay calm. She teased, "Is this a Pr Star Rose? You


    have good taste. It''s lovely."


    Without warning, he grabbed her wrist while he stood up. cing a hand on the small of her back, he


    gently bit her on her Cupid''s bow. The protrusion felt soft and squishy like a gummy.


    "You''re lovelier than the roses."
