An Understated Dominance Chapter 1072 by Marina Vittori

The inertia sent Sheila flying into the air. Then she landed on the grass with a loud thud. For a moment, she felt dizzy. She looked like she was in a lot of pain.

“Sheila!” The sudden turn of events shocked everyone. They hurriedly ran toward Sheila to check on her. Fortunately, she wore protective gear. Moreover, the soft grass cushioned her fall.

Thus, she suffered no serious injuries and only dislocated her shoulder. “Sheila, are you okay? Are you hurt?” Vivian asked, looking concerned. Evan was anxious. “Doctor! Someone get a doctor!”

He was worried that she had hit her head. If that were the case, it would have been bad. “Let me take a look,” Jayden said as he quickly approached Sheila. After examining her, he assured everyone, “It’s nothing serious. She dislocated her shoulder, that’s all.”

He reached out and pressed his hand on Sheila’s shoulder. Then he suddenly twisted it. A crisp sound was heard as the bone went back into place. Sheila let out a muffled groan. Her face, which was contorted with pain, gradually relaxed.

“Hahaha! I won!” After reaching the finish line, Roxanne turned her horse around. She approached Sheila with a triumphant look and looked down at the latter. “Sheila, you’re too lousy. “You’ve started horseback riding since you were a kid. I can’t believe you managed to fall off! What a joke!”

“You-!” Sheila was at a loss for words. She did not know what had just happened. How did Gale suddenly collapse as they were racing? Throughout the race, she had not sensed anything unusual.

“You have to admit defeat, Sheila. I’m taking Gale with me!” Roxanne announced triumphantly. She was delighted that she had won.

On the other hand, Sheila wore a grim expression.But unfortunately, the outcome was clear. Shelia could not take back her words in front of everyone, either.

“Sheila, you were too impulsive just now,” Jayden said with heartfelt concern. “Winning or losing doesn’t matter. Your safety is more important. I’ve reminded you earlier to be cautious.

“Look at what happened. You had a nasty fall, but luckily, it’s nothing serious. Otherwise, how am I supposed to explain this to your father?”

“I’m sorry,” Sheila replied, feeling upset. Jayden sighed long. “You really don’t understand the seriousness of this situation, don’t you?

“I’ve repeatedly said that friendship comes first, and competition is secondary. You shouldn’t have risked your safety.”

Jayden appeared to be genuinely concerned about Sheila. Suddenly, Dustin spoke up. “It’s ironic that you’re saying friendship comes first, and competition is secondary.”

“What?” Everyone turned to look at him, confused. They did not understand what Dustin meant by that. “It’s you!” Elena exclaimed in surprise, and then her expression darkened.

She had been so focused on the horserace that she did not notice Dustin. Elena could not believe she would meet her enemy again. Resentment filled her as she looked at Dustin.

“Ms. Forrest, do you know this man?” Jayden’s eyes darted between Elena and Dustin. He was puzzled upon seeing Elena’s reaction.

“Pfft! He’s merely an insurance agent. Do think he’s worth you my time?” Elena responded through gritted teeth.

She felt resentful. She could not let anyone know that Dustin had slapped her the day before. Otherwise, Elena would be embarrassing herself.

“An insurance agent?”

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?
