An Understated Dominance Chapter 1951 by Marina Vittori

Dustin was awakened by footsteps outside the tent at the break of dawn. He quickly turned around to get up and was watchful.

Soon, he heard Osley speaking. “Ms. Linsor, something bad happened!” Instead of barging into the tent, Osley stood outside to report the incident to Grace.

“W-What?” Grace slowly opened her eyes when she heard the commotion. She slipped out of the sleeping bag and slipped into her jacket.

She then asked, “What happened, Mr. Will?”

“When I was doing my routine check, I saw a lot of desert rats around our camp. I followed their trail and realized that the rats had destroyed our supplies!” Osley replied anxiously.

“What?” Grace’s expression instantly became serious when she heard that.

She quickly walked out of her tent and questioned in a serious tone, “Didn’t I arrange for someone to stand guard through the night? How did the desert rats get to our supplies?”

“I have no idea as well. It was already too late when I discovered the problem. “Osley appeared disheartened.

“Let’s go have a look!” Grace didn’t say much as she immediately walked toward where the supplies were stored.

To play it safe this time, she had prepared all the supplies needed for survival and hired a caravan of camels to transport the supplies.

Before the night set in, she even ensured that people were standing guard. She had no idea that she would wake up to a problem with the supplies.

When Grace and a few others got to the supply storage tent, she saw thousands of desert rats running around. Food, water, and other resources were all over the ground.

A few from the security team were busy chasing away the desert rats. Nevertheless, these rats were still going after the food supplies without fear.

Grace frowned slightly when she saw the situation. Desert rats were normally timid and careful. It was very rare to see them invading the human food supplies.

The most important factor was, in addition to the sheer number of desert rats, their frenzied and continuous invasion despite attempts to chase them away.

The desert rats had destroyed more than half of the supplies she brought for the journey. If Osley hadn’t discovered this problem, the desert rats would have emptied their supplies by daybreak.

“These darn animals! How dare they invade our supplies! Kill all of them!” Osley yelled angrily. When they heard the order, the security team quickly took out their weapons and started killing the desert rats.

Amidst the sounds of guns firing and knives hacking, one after another, the desert rats fell into the pool of blood.

The desert rats that overran the food supplies were scared and started breaking up and running away. They were all gone in a short while.

All that remained were the carcasses of hundreds of desert rats. This loss was almost nothing for the desert rat colony.

The gunshots woke everyone in the camp, and they were disgusted to see the aftermath on the ground.

They had been through many troubles, such as sandstorms, quicksand, and venomous snakes and scorpions, since the beginning of their journey.

Nevertheless, they had always resolved the issues without suffering any loss.

However, a desert rat invasion had robbed them of more than half of their food supplies.

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?
