Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 1784

Bad news spread like wildfire. News of Dominic being kicked out of the board of directors and fired due to misappropriation of company funds spread through the company in no time. It was certainly a cathartic event.

Dominic's abuse of power was a known secret within the company for many years. Therefore, everyone was glad to see Alyssa purging individuals like Dominic right after she was appointed the company president.

Dominic went home in despair. Upon stepping into the house, he flung his coat at the maid in anger. Taken aback by his action, the maid failed to catch the coat in time. The coat fell onto the floor. However, such an insignificant event triggered Dominic, who went up and kicked the maid, causing her to wince in pain on the floor and struggle to get up.

He growled, "Useless thing! Get lost!"

At that moment, Renee rushed over with a worried look. "Dad, is it true that you're sacked?"

Even Renee, who only cared about shopping and getting beauty enhancements, had heard the news. This went to show the gravity of the situation. It must have traveled through the Belbanks business circles.

Jumping in anger, Dominic swept everything off the coffee table. He had planned to teach Alyssa a lesson at the board of directors meeting since Winston and Jonah weren't around. He had never expected to be humiliated and utterly defeated by Alyssa instead.

"Of course it's true! You heard about it, didn't you?" His lips twitched in fury.

"What do I do, now that you're sacked from KS Group?" Worried sick, Renee grabbed his arm and swung it. "How could I show my face in the socialite circle from now on? The rich guys and girls are snobby.

"They won't want to hang out with me if they learn that you've been kicked out of KS Group. How am I supposed to find a rich husband?"

Dominic was plagued by worries at the thought of Renee's marriage prospects. His failure was directly tied to her future marriage. He snapped, "Well, this is all thanks to that bitch Alyssa Taylor! She's acting like the king when there's no reigning monarch around!"

"Dad, will you beg Uncle Winston for mercy? You're his only brother, and he dotes on you. Ask him for help, and he might—"

"No!" Dominic waved and shrugged her hand off his arm. "Alyssa knew it was me who leaked the footage of Winston's relapse. She probably has not told Winston about it, or it will be chaos out there by now.

"If I beg Winston for help, Alyssa will surely tell him the truth. Winston is a decent guy with one flaw—he has a massive ego. He might cut ties with me if he learns that I was the reason for his public humiliation. I can't count on Winston anymore!"

Looking bewildered, Renee remarked, "So… Are you saying that she's threatening you with the information about the footage? Did she foresee you asking Uncle Winston for help? Woah, what a cunning bitch!"

Dominic sank into deep thoughts with a malicious gleam in his eyes. Deep inside, he knew that Winston did not protect him out of sibling affection. Winston had only spared him time after time, given that he had saved the life of Jennifer.

Jennifer, Winston's lovely wife, who had passed away 20 years ago, was the reason Winston had protected Dominic for 20 years.

However, Dominic could not depend on Winston anymore now that Alyssa was in power. He needed to figure out another way of defending himself.

"Ah—Mr. Dominic, I have bad news!" Dominic's secretary screamed as he stumbled into the house. "Just now, the tax authorities have raided two hotels under your name and five salons under Ms. Renee's name!"

Dominic and Renee turned white in shock. "What?"

"Initial estimates showed that you would have to repay 20 million dollars in tax evasion for the two hotels. We haven't calculated the amount in tax evasion by the five beauty salons, but if we do the math, we are looking at 40 to 50 million dollars to be repaid for tax evasion.

"By the way, I received a call from Mr. Bates on the way here. He said he called you a few times, but you didn't pick up. He wanted me to pass a message to you—he'd like you to reimburse him for every single cent of his investment loss in your hotel business, or he won't let this slide."
