An Understated Dominance Chapter 1490 by Marina Vittori

“What? Mentor?!” The room turned into a mess. Beatrix, Caspian, and Ezra stood frozen, shocked by the unexpected revelation.

The idea that Dustin and Abigail had a mentor-disciple relationship, especially with the latter being the Grand Sorceress, was beyond what they had expected.

“How is that possible? How could this guy be connected to the Grand Sorceress of the Mystic Arts Order?” Ezra widened his eyes, his fear evident. He shook uncontrollably. Eleanor claimed that Dustin was just an ordinary guy. How could he have such a powerful backing?

“If you’re going to take down my mentor, it’s like taking me down,” Abigail declared coldly, walking forward. Her icy gaze swept across the three, making each of them shudder.” Assassinating the Grand Sorceress of the Mystic Arts Order-do you realize the severity of that crime?”

“Grand Sorceress, please have mercy! Please have mercy on me!” Caspian quickly bowed, pleading for forgiveness. “Grand Sorceress, I’ve seen the error of my ways. I beg you to spare me this time!”

“Grand Sorceress, I’ve been falsely accused. Please spare me!” Beatrix joined in, repeatedly banging her head on the ground. As for Ezra, he was left in a state of shock, sitting on the ground with a face full of despair.

“Mercy?” Abigail’s voice remained indifferent. “You’ve committed countless atrocities and violated our rules. Trash like you is just wasting the air in this world.”

With a flick of her fingers, a black ray shot out like a bullet, piercing through Caspian’s forehead and leaving behind a bloody hole.

Caspian stiffened, his eyes wide. The next moment, his head exploded, and blood splattered everywhere. He was dead and dismembered.

Seeing this, Beatrix paled, continuing her desperate pleas for mercy. “Grand Sorceress, have mercy! I know nothing. I have done nothing wrong!

“I’ve always been loyal and followed the rules. Please, Grand Sorceress, I’m telling the truth!”

“Madam Beatrix, don’t be nervous. I’m in a good mood today, so I won’t kill you.” Abigail sounded like she was sparing Beatrix’s life.

“But while you escape death, you can’t escape punishment. Cut off one of your arms as an apology to my mentor.”

“Thank you for sparing me, Grand Sorceress!” Beatrix didn’t hesitate, immediately drawing a short knife and severing one of her arms. Despite the excruciating pain, she gritted her teeth, not daring to make a sound.

“Sir, is this punishment satisfactory?” Abigail turned around, her demeanor changing from the previous ruthlessness to harmless and innocent, like a diligent student seeking praise from her teacher.

“It’s fine,” Dustin nodded, but he felt mixed feelings inside. After not seeing each other for a while, it was clear that Abigail’s personality had changed significantly.

The previous Abigail wouldn’t dare harm a fly. But now, taking a life seemed as casual to her as picking what to have for lunch, as if it was a common occurance.

Her experiences, particularly the loss of her father, had led to this transformation, which made sense in its twisted way.

However, Dustin couldn’t be certain whether this change was for the better or worse. Was the Abigail standing before him the same girl he knew before?

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?
