An Understated Dominance Chapter 1067 by Marina Vittori

“We can’t count on Trent anymore. So, we have to find another way now.”

Tyler pondered for a moment. “Find a few scapegoats and have them work on behalf of Trent. Remember, don’t expose our identities.”

“Yes, sir!” his subordinate replied and left hurriedly.

“Hopefully, there won’t be any more mistakes this time,” Tyler muttered as he narrowed his eyes.

If it weren’t for Natasha’s grandfather, Tyler would not be so cautious.

He was indeed troublesome. Otherwise, Tyler would have taken action himself.

It was lunchtime. Dustin and Scarlet sat at a table by the window at Roseate Restaurant.

They happily chatted while enjoying their meal.

Halfway through, Scarlet suddenly asked solemnly, “Logan, should I kill everyone who offended you?”

Upon hearing her words, Dustin did know whether to laugh or cry. “Their offense doesn’t deserve a death penalty.

“Let them suffer a little will do. So, I suggest locking them up for a few days.”

An eye for an eye. Dylan deserved to die because he crossed the line.

Even though the rest of the Harmon family was guilty, they did not deserve to die.

But of course, the main reason was that Dustin had to consider Natasha’s feelings. No matter what

happened, they were still her relatives.

If Scarlet killed them all, how should Dustin get along with Natasha in the future?

Scarlet nodded. “Okay, I’ll spare their lives then.”

As long as Dustin was happy, she did not mind killing a few people.

Suddenly, Scarlet asked, “Oh, by the way, your birthday is coming up in a few days, right?”

Yes, it is. I almost forgot about it if you hadn’t mentioned it.” Dustin recalled instantly.

He had never cared about his birthday.

In the past years, he would simply have a meal and some drinks. Sometimes, he would get a

birthday cake if he felt like it.

Dustin’s birthday celebrations had always been simple.

“How do you plan to celebrate your birthday this year?” Scarlet was curious.

Dustin replied calmly, “Most likely have a meal. Oh, and I’ll buy myself a cake.”

“A simple celebration? No way!”

Scarlet frowned and turned serious. “We should have a grand celebration! This time, I’ll host an impressive birthday banquet for you!”

“There’s no need for that. Celebrating it as usual is fine for me.” Dustin declined her offer.

But she insisted, “Back then, your birthday had always been a lively event. This year shouldn’t be an exception.

He shook his head. “Well, things have changed. The past is the past.

“Kid, I appreciate the thought. But let’s skip the birthday banquet. I prefer to keep a low profile.”

“Alright then! Since you don’t like it, we won’t have a birthday banquet.” Seeing that Dustin was persistent, Scarlet stopped forcing him.

But she compromised and said, “But it shouldn’t be a problem if invite some friends to celebrate, right?”

“Of course.” Dustin nodded with a smile.

Scarlet broke into a smile. “It’s settled then!”

The atmosphere was pleasant as they chatted while eating. After they had eaten their fill, they were satisfied.

Suddenly, Dustin’s phone rang. It was Samuel calling.

“Mr. Rhys, I have a piece of good news and bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?”

asked Samuel.

Dustin answered, “Bad news.”

“The bad news is that someone placed a bounty on you on the Bounty League yesterday. And the reward amount is a staggering 100 billion dollars,” Samuel responded.

Dustin raised an eyebrow at that. “Oh? Who is it?”

The last person who placed a reward on him was Edwin. It was not until after Dustin killed Edwin that the bounty was automatically lifted.

Samuel quickly clarified that he was not involved.

“Mr. Rhys, you know our rules. I can’t disclose the employer’s identity. But I can assure you that my people won’t take action.”

“Alright. Tell me the good news then.” Dustin changed the subject.

“The good news is I’ve located the Cherusia you’ve been searching for!”

Summary An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Dahlia Nicholson and Dustin Rhys had been married for three years. After Dahlia’s meteoric rise to success, she abandons the useless dead weight that’s Dustin, proposing divorce. Unbeknownst to her, everything she had ever achieved was only because of him.

Chapter 1 “Dustin, here is the divorce agreement prepared by Ms. Nicholson. All you need to do is sign them.” In the president’s office of the Quine Group, the secretary, Lyra Blaine, placed a piece of A4 paper on the table. A man sat opposite her, dressed in plain clothing. “Divorce? What do you mean?” Dustin Rhys was taken aback. “Do you not understand what I’m saying? Your marriage with Ms. Nicholson is over. You’re not even on the same level anymore. Your existence is nothing but a smear on the president’s reputation!” Lyra pulled no punches as she spoke. “A smear on her reputation?” Dustin frowned. “Is that how she thinks of me?” Back when they first got married, the Nicholson family was in ruinous debt. He was the one who helped them when they were at their lowest point. Now that they were rich, Dahlia Nicholson was ready to just kick him out. “Something like that.” Lyra jerked her chin toward the magazine on the table. A photo of a beautiful woman was printed on the front page. “Look at the headline on this magazine, Dustin. Ms. Nicholson’s net worth has hit one billion in the course of just three years, a feat no short of a miracle. She’s now the most desired woman in Swinton! With all this, she’s destined for greatness. But you, you’re just a regular joe. You don’t deserve her at all. I hope that you’ll see some sense and do the right thing.” When Dustin remained silent, Lyra frowned. “I know you’re not happy with this, but this is reality,” she continued. “You might have helped Ms. Nicholson when she was in trouble, but she has repaid you for everything you’ve done for her over the last three years. In fact, you’re the one who owes her now!” “Is our marriage just a business deal to her, then?” Dustin took a deep breath to suppress the emotions within. “If she wants to divorce me, let her speak to me herself.” “Ms. Nicholson is very busy. She doesn’t need to trouble herself with such trifling matters.” “Trifling matters?” Dustin was stunned. Then he laughed bitterly. “Is that so? Is divorce a trifling matter to her? She can’t even find the time to speak to me. Truly, she’s that unattainable now!” “Dustin, don’t delay this any longer.” Lyra pushed the divorce agreement toward him again. “Just sign here and you’ll get a car and a house as compensation. On top of that, you’ll also get eight million dollars. This is more than what you’ll be able to earn in your lifetime!” “Eight million dollars is a lot, but…I don’t need it. I will sign the divorce papers if she comes personally. Otherwise, I won’t sign anything,” Duston said coldly. “Don’t go too far, Dustin!” Lyra slammed her hand on the table. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. With all her power and resources, Ms. Nicholson can divorce you easily. It’s only because she appreciates her past relationship with you that she’s allowing you to keep your dignity intact. Don’t provoke her!” “My dignity?” Dustin was a little amused by that. She didn’t even want to speak to him directly to divorce him. What kind of dignity was that? Moreover, if she really did appreciate their relationship, then why was she threatening him now?
