All the ladies of The Core followed suit, and they all had their eyes fixated on Jayden, the n dragging him out, and Royce and his father, who had clearly ordered them to throw him out.
"What is going on here?" Lady Frostline asked again, glancing around.
"That poor pathetic son of a bitch, Jayden Cole, sneaked in with an Invitation Card he must have stolen from soone else. And then he also claid to be The Dominus," Gregory said, stepping forward.
Camilia gave no reply at that point and gave Jayden a stare.
His suit had been rumpled due to the rough treatnt from the security n, and she couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
’These fuckers have bitten more than they can chew!’
"He even dared to say that my father would never be Vice President. Such guts to question The Dominus’s honor!" Royce added, his voice in a bellow.
"Oh wow, that’s really pathetic, Mister Jayden," Camilia said as she gave a wry smile, approaching him.
Jayden stayed calm, trying to give her the most indifferent look to go with the flow.
"Tell , Lady Frostline. Aren’t I The Dominus?"
Camilia forced a flinch as she gave him a sharp stare.
This made Royce feel like she was disgusted by his claims, and then he didn’t waste a second as he charged at Jayden.
"Leave this to , Lady Frostline. I’ll deal with him myself!" Royce said as he threw himself at Jayden.
However...
At that point...
A heavy arm grabbed him and pulled him back, and the next thing he felt on his face was a hot, striking slap bouncing on his right cheek.
PAA!
"Argh!" Royce exclaid at once, wrapping the side of his face as he turned to look at who had hit him.
His eyes widened the mont he noticed her...
Lady Frostline?
He flinched, confused and terrified.
"He was trying to impersonate The Dominus, don’t you—"
PAA!
Another slap hit his face, this ti on the left cheek, as he exclaid again.
"Lady Frostline!" Gregory suddenly stepped forward. "You need to understand what’s going on here. This man right here is claiming to be The Dominus, the President of Nortasia."
"Because he is!"
"HUH?"
The entire hall gasped at once.
All eyes on Jayden, as they all had their eyes widened in awe. Everyone was driven speechless for what looked like an eternity, and at this point, it was the start of enjoynt for Jayden.
"Wh... What... What do you an, Lady Frostline? This is Jayden Cole. The man we all know to be the son of Erson Cole, the fraud who stole millions from my company. The man we both promised to deal with so weeks ago," Gregory said, his face covered in confusion.
Camilia gave him a death stare...
"This man right here. This man whom you have claid to be the son of a fraud and a pathetic nobody is The Dominus," she spoke.
The gathering rose in murmurs again, as everyone began exchanging stunned glances. It was sothing Jayden and the ladies expected, but at this point, the Kingsleys would have to face their fears before moving to the others.
Camilia attempted to speak further before Jayden signaled her to pause.
"I’ll take it from here," he said.
She nodded and bowed slightly before stepping backward.
With that respectful approach, they no longer needed soone to tell them that this was real. Because it clearly was.
Jayden Cole is The Dominus!
Jayden approached Gregory with a smile, seeing the terrified look on the old man’s face.
"Son of a fraud, huh? How many tis have you and your son called that? Even when it’s not true, huh?" Jayden said.
"What are you going to say, Mister Gregory? Is it true that my father stole a hundred and fifty million dollars from Kingsley Group?"
"Now you’re in front of everyone. Say it... Let them know," Jayden added.
Gregory appeared terrified, his eyes faint as he seed to shiver, giving a bad impression to those who had actually believed his lies.
"Why aren’t you saying anything, Mister Gregory? Everyone needs you to say sothing. Let them know what really happened. Are you right... or are you wrong? Did my father really embezzle millions from the company, or were you the one who cooked up a setup and then murdered him to bury the secret?"
Gasps rose again, all eyes on Gregory, who was completely dumbfounded at that point.
"You’re not saying anything, Mister Gregory. Please, tell them sothing. Prove yourself to the world. Co on!"
The atmosphere got tense as everyone noticed Jayden’s face reddening.
Gregory still didn’t say a word, and it was getting uglier.
It was then that one of his best associates stepped out. It was Gregory’s General Ambassador.
"I’m here to testify in favor of The... The Dominus," he said.
Everyone had their eyes switched to his direction.
"He’s right. Erson Cole was blackmailed. It was a setup plotted by Mister Gregory to hide his plans of embezzling the shares of Kingsley Group’s allies, and then breaking it to prepare for the Grand Developnt Project."
"When Erson Cole was jailed, he had to kill him to stop the secret from getting exposed. I swear to my testimony. For the sake of my life and my family," he said with a bold look before walking away.
Gregory froze, not believing his eyes. It was the last person he expected to betray him. But what could he expect?
It was clear that Jayden had threatened his life and family, and there was nothing he could do.
Right before everyone, he was getting exposed.
"That’s... that’s not true! He’s lying to you all!"
It was at that mont that he knew he was fucked and had to defend himself or else he was losing everything.
"I’m being set up!" Gregory shouted.
But at that point, he didn’t realize it when a heavy fist ca punching him. He stumbled on the marble floor in pain.
Royce stood there speechless, completely terrified as well.
All the guards around appeared to have switched sides. Just now, the guy who was dragging Jayden out had punched his father in the face.
"You set my father up. You plotted for his death. You had him killed. You made my life miserable!" Jayden shouted.
Gasps rose.
"You can’t deny that. None of those who plotted it with you are willing to deny it, are they?" Jayden glanced at the entire Kingsley Group’s top board.
They were all speechless, terrified.
No one wanted to anger The Dominus... not when it was with lies.
"You conspired with every organizational leader to have your back just to make your evil deeds successful. The judge in the recent case—I’m aware of that. My mother died a few days after you unfairly won the case and got it terminated," Jayden said.
"You thought it was all over... It was even more relieving when you heard about my death. You have always wanted dead in the first place anyway."
Gregory went on his knees at that point and jamd his hands together.
"Please..."
PAA!
Jayden landed a slap on his face at once.
PAA!
And another, causing terrified gasps.
"I have waited for this day all my life... the day you would fall... the day you would pay for everything you did..."
Jayden turned to the side and signaled a lady standing next to Luka Vane.
Emily...
Gregory’s daughter.
Emily stepped forward imdiately, her face tense, but she was bold.
"You have sothing to say?" Jayden asked.
She nodded. "Yeah."
Jayden then moved away and let her speak.
Emily noticed the anticipated stares from everyone and heaved a long sigh before she began.
"He killed my mother..."
