An Understated Dominance Chapter 1798 by Marina Vittori

“Are you suggesting that someone is inciting the simultaneous rebellion of the Four Sovereigns?” Eloise frowned.

“That’s right!”

Austin continued with a solemn expression. “Currently, only one person can make the Four Sovereigns obey orders in West Lucozia.”

“Julius!” Eloise blurted out.

“Uncle Julius is an ambitious man and is adept at scheming. He intends to force us to surrender the military insignia through the Four Sovereigns.”

Austin narrowed his eyes as he analyzed the situation. “If we refuse, the Four Sovereigns would start a rebellion, compelling us to deploy troops to quell the unrest.

“At that point, he will interfere and hinder our military campaign to ensure we fail. Once our military campaign fails, our prestige will be greatly damaged.

“When public outcry reaches its peak, he will emerge as the savior, rescuing the people from turmoil and subduing the Four Sovereigns successfully.

“By then, he will be hailed by the masses and become an uncrowned king. They say those who win the people’s hearts will win the world.

“The moment Julius achieves prestige similar to Father’s, he will naturally become the new Prince of West Lucozia.

“What a calculating man!” By the end of his analysis, Austin’s expression had turned exceptionally grave.

Julius’ strategy wasn’t a conspiracy; it was a well-thought-out plan. Even knowing the ins and outs of the situation, it was still challenging to unravel.

Such was the frightening aspect of a well-executed strategy!

“In that case, Julius must have planned this for a long time,” Eloise said with a frown.

“Now, how do we foil his plan? We can’t deploy the army, nor can we recruit enemy support. What should we do?”

“In my opinion, we must unite with the other Four Sovereigns, along with Father’s former subordinates, to compete with Julius,” Austin suggested.

“That makes sense.” Eloise nodded.

“I’ll send someone to invite the other Four Sovereigns immediately to discuss this matter together.”

“Mom, let me go personally. It’ll show our sincerity better that way.” Austin volunteered. It was crucial to obtain the other Four Sovereign’s support, and he needed to go in person for reassurance.

“Alright, be careful. If anything seems amiss, withdraw immediately,” Eloise cautioned.

She had to remain at the castle. In the current situation, only her son’s appearance would better persuade the other Four Sovereigns.

“I understand.” Austin nodded, then pointed to a few guards.

“You guys, come with me. Remember, don’t alert anyone.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” they responded.

Following Austin, they left discreetly through the castle’s secret passage, Dustin included.

There were spies everywhere, both inside and outside the castle, and walking through the main gate would undoubtedly alert them. After they left the castle, Austin found an inconspicuous car and headed northwest.

He was not worried about the few guards he brought with him leaking news since they were all close, loyal confidants he had grown up together with.

“Logan, where are you staying? Do you need me to send you home?” Austin asked when they were in the car.

“I’m not going back. I’ll accompany you tonight to meet the Four Sovereigns,” Dustin responded. With the current unpredictable situation, he was worried about sending Austin there alone.

“Alright, then, let’s resolve this together as brothers!” Austin gained confidence instantly. Since childhood, Dustin was always been his pillar of support. Whenever he got into trouble, his brother was the first person he sought. And every time, Dustin would save the day.

Even though they hadn’t seen each other for ten years, he knew deep down that his brother was still his brother. Nothing ever changed.

It was late at night at Summitville.

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?
