An Understated Dominance Chapter 1372 by Marina Vittori

Ezra’s brows furrowed as he looked at Dustin bitterly,

“Ah, so you’re Dustin,” Alistair said, recognizing Dustin. After all, the recent family event, especially the Dew Balm formula debacle, was still fresh in his mind.

“Mr. Welch, I heard that your father is suffering from hysteria. Would you mind if I take a look?” Dustin offered with genuine concern. Alistair eyed the young Dustin skeptically. “You?”

He thought, “Dr. Busch may have recommended you, but you don’t exactly strike me as an expert.”

“Dustin, that’s kind of you, but we already have Sir Crane helping us. No need for you to trouble yourself,” Joanne interjected.

“Did you hear that? With Sir Crane here, we don’t need you,” Ezra added with a sneer.

“Young man, don’t play around when a person’s life is at stake. It’s no time for you to fool around,” Theodore warned sternly.

“Dustin, let it be.” Brooke shook his head. He knew that saying anything now wasn’t wise. “Very well. Since Sir Crane is so confident, I won’t insist. Please, go ahead.” Dustin gestured, yielding. If Theodore could truly cure Welch Senior, Dustin was content with that.

“Hmph! At least you know your place.” Theodore glanced indifferently at Dustin before entering Welch Senior’s room. Soon, the others followed suit. They walked quietly and cautiously.

“What is this?” Theodore scanned the room, his brows furrowing in displeasure. “Why is Mr. Welch Senior tied up? Don’t you know this will interfere with treatment? Untie him immediately!”

“Sir Crane, you may not be aware of the full situation. When my dad’s condition takes a dark turn, he becomes uncontrollable and aggressive. We had no choice but to restrain him,” Alistair explained. The memories of his father’s violent fits still haunted him.

“Don’t worry. With me here, Mr. Welch Senior won’t pose a threat. Please, untie him,” Theodore assured them confidently. Alistair hesitated momentarily, then glanced at Joanne, who gave a confirming nod.

“Untie my dad!”

“Right away, sir,” The two Welch family members responded in unison. They quickly untie Welch Senior.

“Sir Crane, untying Mr. Welch Senior might not be a wise move. If his hysteria happens, you could be in danger,” Dustin cautioned.

“Ridiculous! I’ve faced much bigger challenges. A mere hysteria won’t trouble me.” Crane scoffed.

“Dustin, you may be inexperienced, but Sir Crane isn’t. Observe and learn. Maybe you’ll learn something valuable, Ezra taunted.

“Is that so? I’ll be watching closely, then,” Dustin replied with a shrug, choosing not to engage further. Once the restraints were removed, Theodore approached the Welch Senior. He examined Welch Senior’s eyes, mouth, tongue, and teeth and conducted a basic examination on him..

“If I’m not mistaken, the patient has fallen prey to witchcraft, which has disturbed his mind and triggered these bouts of hysteria,” Theorore stated.

Impressed, Alistair praised him and inquired, “Well done, as expected of a real expert. Is there a solution to it, Sir Crane?”

“A mere lower-level witchcraft won’t pose any challenge. I’ll easily dispel it with a talisman,” Theodore replied casually. Then, he took out a yellow talisman paper adorned with mysterious symbols from his pouch.

“Amazing!” Alistair exclaimed, his eyes lighting up. “Sir Crane, please proceed with the treatment. Afterward, we will reward you handsomely.”

“Of course.” Theodore nodded in satisfaction. He teasingly pointed the talisman at Dustin. “Young man, pay close attention as I break this malevolent spell.”

He confidently slapped the yellow talisman paper onto Welch Senior’s forehead. Suddenly, Welch Senior’s body jerked, and he opened his eyes.

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?
