An Understated Dominance Chapter 1753 by Marina Vittori

“Even if I can’t handle it, isn’t the Prince of West Lucozia there for such matters? Their influence can’t possibly overshadow the West Lucozian monarchy, can it?” Dustin asked.

Lucas wore a mournful expression.

“It’s not as straightforward as you might think. Those bullies have deep ties with high-ranking officials and the West Lucozian monarchy. It’s not just socially but their interests also intertwine. No one is brave enough to touch them.”

Dustin frowned.

“Shouldn’t the prince take action against such individuals?”

Considering Rufus’ character, it was highly unlikely that he would tolerate such incidents.

Lucas shook his head.

“The prince is overwhelmed with his duties, and these corrupt officials cover up such ugly deeds. The prince is unlikely to be aware, let alone have the chance to seek justice for us.”

“I never imagined West Lucozia would deteriorate to this extent,” Dustin remarked, his expression darkening.

As the Crown Prince of West Lucozia, Dustin found himself deeply angered as he witnessed the descendants of once- respected heroes being subjected to oppression. Their pleas even fell on deaf ears.

Even someone like Lucas, a general’s son, had not been spared from such hardship. This grim reality hinted at the broader suffering endured by ordinary people.

“Present-day West Lucozia isn’t the same as before.”

Lucas sighed.

He went on, “The prince is aging, and many matters slip beyond his direct control. Corrupt officials exploit this, and what seems prosperous on the surface conceals internal corruption. Incidents like these are becoming all too common.”

Dustin adopted a serious expression.

“Mr. Ashen, I can’t turn a blind eye when faced with such injustice. If you’re in trouble, speak up. I’ll ensure justice is served for you.” 1

Lucas paused, reflecting on his next words. While he could feel the determination radiating from the young person across from him, the apprehension of burdening them lingered heavily in his thoughts.

“Mr. Ashen, no need to worry. My friend wields considerable influence in West Lucozia. If you speak up, we can certainly help. But if you remain silent, we can’t assist. This is your only opportunity,” Grace reassured him.

Lucas nodded after some contemplation. With no other options, he felt compelled to take this chance. He hoped for some divine intervention in this memorial park encounter.

“Alright, I’ll talk.”

Lucas inhaled deeply before recounting the torment.

He continued, “Our trouble stems from Russo Vern, a profligate with strong ties to the influential Vern family. He’s backed by a group of privileged individuals, collectively forming the Hero Alliance. Their influence is unparalleled in the city, creating a reign of terror where no one dares to oppose them.”

He added, “Some time back, Russo fixated on my sister. He relentlessly pursued her for her hand in marriage. Faced with her resistance, he resorted to coercion and enticing tactics. Three days ago, my anger got the best of me as I witnessed Russo harassing my sister once more. I landed a punch.”

Lucas recounted, “That same night, he orchestrated an arson attack on our home. The flames claimed my mother’s life, and I endured a brutal beating. Worse, my sister was abducted and subjected to unspeakable humiliation. Her fate remains unknown. Russo even threatened that if I reported him and took legal action, my entire family would meet a grim end.”

“These people have abandoned all moral compasses!” he concluded, his eyes ablaze with fury and bitterness.

He detested Russo and his gang of oppressors. His sense of powerlessness intensified the pain of failing to shield his loved ones.

Grace, her countenance now icy with anger, remarked, “Committing murder, arson, and kidnapping innocent women-these villains know no bounds.”

Dustin’s expression turned notably grim as well. He approached Lucas with a determined demeanor. He then offered a helping hand to assist Lucas to his feet.

“Mr. Ashen, you can trust me. I’ll take care of this situation. I’ll ensure that these perpetrators face the consequences they’ve earned.”

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?
