An Understated Dominance Chapter 1621 by Marina Vittori

“It’s you, Ms. Linsor. I’ve heard a lot about you.” After a momentary surprise, Dustin quickly recollected himself.

He continued, “Ms. Linsor, as it’s quite late already, may I know the purpose of your visit and who sent you?”

He didn’t know Grace personally, but he had seen her side profile in a painting, Enchanting Elegance. He was curious to find out the reason for her sudden visit.

“You’ll understand after you read the letter, Mr. Rhys.” Grace didn’t explain. Instead, she took out a letter from her sleeve and gave it to Dustin with both hands.

“Thanks.” Dustin nodded slightly and took the letter.

As he opened the letter to read it, the content stunned him and made his heart beat faster. The letter wasn’t signed, and there was no greeting. Only a single sentence was written in the letter.

“Donovan Linsor, the Prince of Carsonne, currently living in the Scenic Monastery in Quandary Mountain, goes by Abbot Lumen.”

Dustin immediately knew who sent the letter when he saw the handwriting. He had no idea that this person was so effective. They actually completed the task within three days without any delay, as promised.

“Please thank them on my behalf. I owe you one for today’s favor. Just let me know if you need help in the future.” With the flick of a finger, the letter became dust and disappeared completely.

“Besides the letter, my aunt asked me to tell you something.” Grace’s angelic voice rang out again. “She said there’s been unrest in the palace recently. You mustn’t continue your investigation. If you do, your life will be in danger.”

“Thanks for the reminder. I know what I’m doing.” Dustin nodded.

It was impossible for him to stop investigating. It had taken him too long to find the clues, and he was very close to uncovering the truth. He would never give up this easily.

“Dustin Rhys, the past is in the past, and we can only live in the present. What happened ten years ago had already happened. Past incidents cannot be altered. This is fate,” Grace said.

“Fate?” Dustin laughed and shook his head. “I never believed in fate. I only believe in myself. Regardless of the outcome, I’d still give it a try.”

“If this ending entails you losing your life and your loved ones, would you still choose to continue?” Grace retorted.

Dustin suddenly fell silent upon hearing his question. He wasn’t afraid of dying, but he didn’t want to risk the lives of those he cherished.

“Dustin Rhys, I’ve read the oracle for you. The Scenic Monastery in Quandary Mountain is an obstacle you can’t overcome. If you insist, it will result in many deaths, and you will pay a heavy price.”

Grace sounded very serious. She had never misread the oracle, not even once. She took the risk of visiting Dustin in hopes of resolving the catastrophe.

“If you don’t want me to go, why did you tell me the truth?” Dustin suddenly asked.

“It has already been decided by fate, and I can’t change the outcome. But, you can! All of this started because of you, and if you choose to let it go now, everything will be at peace. If not, the whole of Oakvale will be awash in blood, “Grace explained.

“Sorry. I can’t give up now.” Dustin shook his head after a few moments of silence.

He continued, “I have too much burden on me. My life was no longer mine a long time ago. I’m so close to unveiling the truth now. It’s impossible for me to give up.”

Grace sighed softly at his words. Evidently, she was still unable to convince him. She knew this would happen, but she wasn’t convinced. She wanted to try and alter the course of fate.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t do it. There were only a handful of people who could change the fate of the world. Dustin Rhys was one of them.

For the chosen one who bore a heavy burden, every choice made would determine the life and death of many others.

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?
