An Understated Dominance Chapter 1386 by Marina Vittori

Dustin asked politely, “Mr. Welch, I’ve heard that your father has awakened. Is that correct?”

“Yes, my dad has indeed woken up, but he’s still weak. His mind is somewhat clouded. I believe he needs some time to rest,” Alistair replied. Dustin reassured him, “No worries, those are just some aftereffects. He’ll be back on his feet in no time.”

Changing the topic, he continued, ” Now, Mr. Welch, about our deal. You promised me the Emerald Corolla and the Iceheart Lotus. When can I get them?”

“Well…” Alistair exchanged a glance with those beside him and hesitated.

Joanne quickly interjected, “Dr. Rhys, we have no intentions of going back on our word. However, it might take a while since we’re swamped with other things, and your request isn’t our top priority.”

“Mrs. Welch, it seems you had a different stance when we made the deal. “Dustin shook his head.

“Precious herbs are rare and can’t be easily acquired. We’ll notify you when we have any information. Your patience will be appreciated,” Joanne stated, unyielding.

Dustin replied with a wry smile, ” Patience? I’m afraid if I wait any longer, I won’t live long enough to see those herbs.”

From their previous conversation, he had deduced that the Welch family was determined to kill him. It was likely related to the formula of Dew Balm, a treasure precious enough to prompt them to act against him.

Joanne remained cool and unyielding.” If you can’t wait, there’s not much we can do.”

“Fine. It looks like I can no longer rely on the Welch family. We’ll go our separate ways,” Dustin declared before leaving. Joanne suddenly called out to him, stopping him in his tracks. “Hold on, Dr. Rhys!”

Dustin turned back, his expression cold. “Mrs. Welch, do you have something else to say?”

If the Welch family intended to escalate the situation, he would not hold back.

“Dr. Rhys, my father-in-law is still weak and needs nourishment. The Dragon Panax we gave you is the best supplement. We hope you can return it, ‘Joanne said, her words unapologetic.

“Return it?” Dustin was taken aback but soon chuckled, “Mrs. Welch, are you joking with me?

“The Dragon Panax was acquired through a trade for the formula. Why should I return it?”

She remained calm. “I can pay for it. Just name your price.”

He shook his head. “I don’t need money.”

“So, you won’t sell it, is that it? Then, consider our trade-off!” Joanne declared.

She placed a piece of paper on the table and stated, “This is the Dew Balm formula you wrote. I’m giving it back to you, and I don’t want to work with you anymore. Return me the Dragon Panax.

“Mrs. Welch, are you treating me like a three-year-old?” Dustin narrowed his eyes at her.

“You’ve already seen the formula. Who knows how many copies you’ve made?

What’s the point of returning it now?”

The audacity of Joanne was truly astounding. Not only had she failed to find the Iceheart Lotus and Emerald Corolla, but she now intended to reclaim the Dragon Panax, leaving him with nothing.

Joanne argued confidently, “Our trade was herbs for the formula. I don’t want the formula anymore, so give back the herbs. That’s only fair.”

Dustin chuckled, though his eyes were cold. “Well, well, it appears the mighty Welch family can’t keep their word.”

Joanne raised her voice, her patience wearing thin. “Enough small talk! Hand over the Dragon Panax, take your formula, and we can part on good terms. If not, don’t blame me for the consequences!”

As she spoke, two martial artist masters stepped forward, blocking Dustin’s path, their gaze sharp.

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?
