An Understated Dominance Chapter 1714 by Marina Vittori

Right then, Grace and Dustin walked in together.

“Tristan…” Grace said.

Tristan stood up to greet them with a smile. “Long time no see, Grace.”

He then turned to Dustin and said, “I’m guessing this must be Logan. It’s been ten years. You’ve changed so much. I almost couldn’t recognize you.”

“Greetings, Your Royal Highness.” Dustin bowed.

“There’s no need for such formalities. We’re cousins, after all.” Tristan immediately went and straightened Dustin’s back.

“Come, have a seat. Just make yourself at home.”

“Thank you, Your Royal Highness.”

“Thank you, Tristan.”

Dustin and Grace took a seat after thanking him.

“Logan, I’m sorry for ushering you here at this hour, but some things just cannot be delayed. I hope you understand,” Tristan took the initiative to apologize, showing great courtesy.

“There’s no need to apologize, Prince Tristan.” Dustin smiled faintly. “It’s an honor to be a guest at your residence.”

Tristan was about to say something when he saw Grace beside him.

He said with a smile, “Grace, I have a batch of precious jewelry that recently arrived. Why don’t you head over and have a look? Just pick anything that you like and take it with you.”

Grace glanced at Dustin before nodding. “Thank you for your generous offer, Tristan. I won’t be holding back then.”

Although she knew Tristan was intentionally diverting her attention, she couldn’t refuse.

“Milton, take Princess Grace to the treasury.” Tristan gestured.

“Princess Grace, please, follow me.” Milton bowed and led Grace away from the main hall.

After they left, Tristan poured Dustin a cup of tea. He then got straight to the point. “Logan, to be honest, I invited you here at this hour to clear my doubts.

“Please continue, Prince Tristan.” Dustin kept his tone neutral.

“I heard that you met with Father earlier. Did he say anything to you?” Tristan probed.

“That’s right. His Majesty did indeed see me, and we discussed the matter of the successor,” Dustin replied honestly.

Since Tristan had placed a mole in Galene Palace, he must have known what they talked about. His question was probably just a test.

“Oh? The successor?” Tristan raised an eyebrow. “Has Father made a decision?

“Not exactly.” Dustin shook his head. ” His Majesty said that all of you were outstanding individuals, and that made it hard to decide. That was why he asked for my opinion on who was most suitable.”

“So, who do you think is most suitable between us?” Tristan asked meaningfully.

“I wouldn’t dare interfere in such an important national affair, Prince Tristan,” Dustin replied ambiguously.

“No worries, just share your thoughts.

You can speak freely. There’s no need to hold back.”

“I…” Dustin put on a troubled expression.

Tristan caught on immediately and clapped lightly. Soon, a beautiful attendant brought in a golden box.

Tristan received the box and placed it on the table before opening it slowly. A translucent white pearl lay inside the box, emitting a soft radiance and a faint fragrance.

“Is this … the Celestial Eye?” Dustin’s eyes widened, betraying a look of shock.

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?
