Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1778

Alyssa's booming voice delivered a great shock to the meeting attendees. Her confidence and imposing air reminded them of Winston Taylor.

Dominic, whose legs were shaking uncontrollably, mustered his courage and slammed his hand on the table. He rose in anger to face off against Alyssa. "Alyssa Taylor, you have no right to sack me, even if you're the daughter of the chairman and the company president!

"Are you treating the board of directors meeting as your personal playground? You're out of control. You'll need to start a vote to remove me from my roles!"

He had taken a jab at Alyssa's previous remark of him treating the company as his private bank.

Alyssa thought him petty and snorted. "Yeah, right. That's why I convened this meeting to discuss your matter."

As Edward was Dominic's business partner—he had even been forced to invest in the two hotels—he could not possibly watch Dominic go down. Once again, he took Dominic's side. He began, "Alyssa…"

"She's Ms. Alyssa for you." Sean shot a frosty look at Edward.

Edward nearly choked. He quickly changed his way of address. "M-Ms. Alyssa, Dominic has made many sacrifices for the company over the years, and we bore witness to that.

"Besides, Dominic is your uncle and Winston's brother. He's family. To be honest, the misappropriation of funds isn't that big of an issue.

"Since Mr. Winston has settled the matter, it shows that he wants to put everything behind him. If the public learns about this, that will negatively impact KS Group and the Taylors."

Alyssa put on a look of derision. "Oh, is it not that big of an issue? Fine, Mr. Bates. How about you pay up on Mr. Dominic's behalf?"

Edward looked upset when he heard the provocation.

"Dismissing Mr. Dominic from his company roles is me being kind because I consider him my uncle. Otherwise, he would be speaking to the police by now." Wiping away her smile, she warned, "I don't need anyone to worry about my family's reputation.

She did not bother to take a look at Dominic. Ignoring someone was the highest form of contempt.

"Who are you calling ungrateful? You—"

"You were the one who leaked the video of Dad's relapse in that meeting, weren't you?" She went straight to the point, sending shockwaves across the directors, who started having mixed feelings about Dominic.

Dominic's heart sank. All colors drained from his face. "How could you suspect me? What do I have to do with that?"

"The witnesses of my dad's relapse are all here today—all of them. They signed NDAs on the incident." Her voice took a chilling turn. "Whoever leaked the news will be required to pay a large penalty, not to mention being ousted from the board of directors and dismissed from their roles in the company.

"Everyone here is well aware of the consequences. None of them would risk losing their jobs and their lucrative bonuses just to make a joke out of my dad."
