An Understated Dominance Chapter 1633 by Marina Vittori

“Who are you? Why are you here?”

In the solemn hall of Scenic Monastery, tension filled the air as the two monks swiftly positioned themselves to block Dustin’s path. Their eyes, sharp and vigilant, betrayed an unusual wariness.

These monks, having secluded themselves for years, rarely encountered outsiders. The sudden appearance of a stranger, especially one seeking the prince, heightened their concern.

“I’m Logan Rhys, here to pay my respects to the Prince of Carsonne. I hope you can let me through,” Dustin calmly stated.

“Logan Rhys?” The monks exchanged astonished glances, unprepared for the reappearance of the man who had been missing for a decade.

“Mr. Rhys, this is a monastery. There’s no Prince of Carsonne here. You’ve come to the wrong place. Kindly leave,” the round-faced monk said with a serious tone.

“Gentlemen, I’ve traveled a long way with genuine intentions. I’d appreciate it if you could announce my arrival inside. Thank you,” Dustin said respectfully.

“Don’t force our hand. Our monastery is small and can’t accommodate such an important figure. Please leave,” the round-faced monk sternly replied.

“What goes around comes around. Abbot Lumen planted seeds ten years ago, and now it’s time to reap what was sown. Endlessly avoiding the world is just denial,” Dustin declared.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying, “the round-faced monk retorted. “As I said before, our abbot is in seclusion and won’t see outsiders. Please leave!”

“I’ve spoken kindly enough. If you insist on stopping me, then I have no other choice but force my way in.” Dustin’s expression turned cold.

Regardless, he was determined to see Donovan Lindsor today.

“This is a sacred place. You can’t behave recklessly here!” the round- faced monk warned.

“If you don’t leave, be prepared to face our resistance!” The other monk grew impatient.

“You can try.” Dustin proceeded to the monastery hall impassively and disregarded their warnings.

“How impudent!”

The two monks, angered, prepared to attack, but a stern voice suddenly echoed within the hall.

“Stop!”

At the command, the two monks immediately ceased their actions.

“Both of you, don’t be disrespectful.” After scolding them, a monk in yellow robes walked out of the hall.

The monk approached Dustin and said, “Lord, have mercy. Mr. Rhys, your presence at Scenic Monastery is our honor. The abbot is aware of your visit. Please, come inside.”

With that, he stepped aside, allowing Dustin to enter.

“But!” The round-faced monk’s expression tightened. Then, he said, ” This Mr. Rhys has an unknown background. We must stay vigilant.”

“This is the abbot’s decision. You have no right to question it. Step back!” The monk in yellow robes commanded.

“Yes!” Reluctantly, the round-faced monk stepped back, but his watchful eyes remained fixed on Dustin.

“Mr. Rhys, please.”

With a slight nod, the monk in yellow robes led Dustin into the monastery hall.

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?
