An Understated Dominance Chapter 1508 by Marina Vittori

“So, what you mean is that only they can bully us, but we aren’t allowed to retaliate? So powerless people like us can only ever be terrorized and humiliated by powerful people like you?

“Is it a sin to even think about protecting ourselves?” Dustin mocked.

Despite losing her memories, Dahlia remained the same. She was still prejudiced and self-righteous. She never got the situation straight before jumping to conclusions.

“I don’t understand what you mean.” Dahlia frowned slightly.

“My people came today to discuss business. As a shareholder of Camron Medicals, you should treat them with courtesy instead of resorting to threats.

“We would naturally welcome them if they were guests. But if they are enemies, don’t blame us for being rude, “Dustin retorted.

“What? You’ve made a mistake and stirred up trouble, yet you don’t feel any remorse?” Dahlia frowned.

“Ms. Nicholson, this was a misunderstanding.” Lana suddenly stepped up and smiled apologetically.

“Ms. Amberson here insisted on cutting the line earlier. She even showed off the Mosey family badge, intimidating us in various ways.

“We resisted, but she threatened to damage our company instead. Dustin just acted impulsively in a fit of anger.”

“Is that so?” Dahlia turned toward Julie. Julie’s expression stiffened but she quickly put on a bold front and explained, “Dahlia, don’t listen to their nonsense!

“I came here to discuss business sincerely, but Dustin sought revenge and tried to kick us out. I was too angry and spoke a few harsh words, but nothing more!”

“That’s right, Ms. Dahlia. I can testify that it’s all Dustin’s fault!” Elena immediately spoke up.

“Dustin was not only acting unreasonably but also resorted to violence. Look at Julie’s face, it’s swollen!”

“Dahlia, I’ve never felt so insulted before. You must stand up for me!” Julie pleaded tearfully, looking aggrieved.

When Dahlia saw Julie’s swollen face with a clear handprint still visible, her expression grew dark. She questioned harshly, “Dustin, were you the one who hit Julie?”

“Yes, but only be-” Dustin was about to explain when Dahlia interjected.

“So, it was you! And here I thought others were pushing you around. It turned out that you were the bully! How dare you claim innocence?”

Dustin frowned, his expression turned grim. If it were any other person who said that, he wouldn’t have cared less. But it was from Dahlia, and her words cut him like a knife.

“Ms. Nicholson, everything has its reasons. You shouldn’t only listen to one side of the story.” Lana hurriedly explained when she saw the situation turning unfavorable.

“Everyone here witnessed the situation clearly. Ask anyone, and you’ll know the truth.”

“Alright! Then I’ll ask and find out who exactly is at fault!”

Dahlia glanced around before her gaze settled on a woman. She asked, “Miss, please tell me truthfully what happened earlier. Did Dustin initiate the fight?”

“Think carefully before you speak. Don’t fabricate stories. If you dare cover for Dustin, you’ll bear the consequences!” Elena warned.

The lady turned pale and nodded repeatedly. “That’s right, Dustin started the violence, and Ms. Amberson was the victim. I saw everything.”

“What?” Lana frowned when she heard her. She didn’t expect her to lie so boldly in public.

However, upon second thought, it seemed understandable. Who would dare offend two of Oakvale’s greatest families and one of the ancient houses?

Even if they did something wrong, it could be covered up with their influence.

“Dustin! What else do you have to say?” Dahlia’s expression turned cold when she got her answers.

She commanded, “I order you now to apologize and compensate Julie immediately. That way, you still have a way out. Otherwise, poisoning alone is enough for you to spend half of your life in prison!”

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?
