Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1777

Alyssa leaned into her chair with a faint smile playing on her lips. "You lamented to Winston how broke you were, and he paid for that 50 million dollars out of his pocket for his only brother.

"Because of that, he had a stroke, which led to the company's situation today. The losses from the falling stock price and his medical expenses could amount to billions, but you're not directly responsible for that, so I won't hold you liable.

"But you need to return the 50 million dollars you misappropriated. It's only fair to return what you stole. It's not only the rule of law but also a moral rule."

The directors fixed astonished looks on Dominic, whose face was twitching from the shock and humiliation. Even Edward, who had been speaking up for Dominic, fell silent.

"The 50 million has been taken care of. Even if Winston was the one paying, it's considered paid at the end of the day!" Seething, Dominic snapped, "This was in the past, but you insisted on bringing it up. You're making a private grudge public!"

"What made you think that it was all in the past?" The look in Alyssa's eyes hardened. She slammed her hand on the table, shocking everyone. "I take right and wrong seriously. You don't get to muddle through!"

Dominic turned white as a chill ran down his spine. Sean, meanwhile, watched Alyssa with admiration. The exchange was too cathartic for him.

"KS Group is a public company, not your private bank. You don't get to transfer money out of the company as you wish."

She cast a piercing gaze at Dominic as she sat regally at the table, eliciting the respect of the directors. "If I don't take action against you, it's not only unfair toward the other directors, but you might create greater trouble the next time since you did not learn your lesson this time.

"By then, it would be too late to regret. That's why I need you to pay up!"

Dominic, knowing he was at a disadvantage, pulled the same trick by claiming he was broke. "Even if you need me to pay up, I can't come up with that money right away! You won't possibly make me sell my house and lands, right? Renee and I would be sleeping on the streets!"
