An Understated Dominance Chapter 1432 by Marina Vittori

Looking at the wound, it was clear that the cut was deep. If it were an ordinary person, they probably couldn’t help but scream.

However, Elara remained expressionless throughout. She didn’t even furrow her brow. It was as if the blade didn’t touch her. This woman was undoubtedly a fierce warrior!

“Give me the medicine!” Elara stepped onto a chair. She tore off half of her pants, revealing a well-toned thigh that combined strength and beauty.

She scooped out some ointment from a jar and casually applied it to the wound.

Then, something magical happened. In just half an hour, the bleeding from the wound had stopped. The cold and numbing sensation made Elara, who had been emotionless, finally show a trace of surprise.

As a grandmaster martial artist, she could naturally feel the subtle changes in her body. She had to admit that this ointment was truly extraordinary. After about half an hour, Elara wiped the remaining ointment away with a towel.

The previous wound had mostly healed, leaving only a faint red mark. It was fresh, new skin.

“Ms. Elara, do you believe it now?”

Dustin smiled.

“Yes,” Elara nodded, holding her sword and silently retreating to the side, not speaking further.

“Mr. Dawson, what do you Dustin shifted his gaze. think?”

“It’s truly a fantastic item!” Bo beamed. “I may not be interested in money, but for the family business, I need to make some effort. About this Dew Balm, how do you propose we collaborate?”

Dustin laid out the terms. “In terms of production, I’ve already partnered with the Camron family. Mr. Dawson, your role will be sales and promotion. We will utilize the Dawson family’s connections and influence to turn Dew Balm into a blockbuster product.”

He added, “As for the profit distribution, we can go with a forty- thirty-thirty split. The Dawson family takes forty percent, and the Camron family and I each get thirty percent. What do you say?”

“I thought you’d be more demanding, but you’re quite fair.” Bo chuckled.

With the Dawson family’s influence, they could easily secure a forty percent share. However, hearing it from Dustin was another matter.

“In business, fairness and honesty matter. The Dawson family has contributed the most, so naturally, they should get the lion’s share.”

Dustin smiled.

“Right, I like your attitude.” Bo nodded in satisfaction. His face lit up even more, and the intense look in his eyes made Dustin’s skin crawl. Was he seriously suggesting something inappropriate?

“Mr. Dawson, Dew Balm may not have a smooth path ahead. We have two competitors to watch out for. I hope you’re prepared.” Dustin wisely changed the subject.

“Oh? Who dares to compete with the Dawson family?” Mr. Dawson raised an eyebrow.

“The Welch family and the Swanson family from the Eight Great Families,” Dustin briefly recounted the situation.

“I see. With the ethics of the Welch and Swanson families, it’s not surprising they’d resort to such low tactics.

“But you don’t have to worry about the market. Our product is good and affordable, and with my family’s connections and influence, we can easily outshine them,” Bo assured him.

“With your words, Mr. Dawson, I’m at ease.” Dustin nodded.

“Dustin, if you stick with me, you won’t be treated unfairly. I promise you a life of luxury and extravagance.” Bo placed his hand on Dustin’s shoulder, giving it a meaningful pat.

Dustin froze, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This was supposed to be a business talk. Why was it suddenly taking an unexpected turn?

“Dustin, I must say you’re a good- looking man, with that flawless skin and all. Fits right into my tastes,” Bo commented.

“Once you accept a few conditions of mine, I assure you, a life of luxury and endless pleasures will be at your disposal.”

Bo’s gaze roved up and down, filled with a fiery desire as if he were appreciating a fine piece of art. Dustin found himself in an awkward and nerve-wracking situation.

“This is not how I envisioned this business meeting,” he muttered to himself, feeling his skin crawl.

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?
