An Understated Dominance Chapter 2197 by Marina Vittori

When the shadowsteel whip was swung, it crackled with power and delivered precise strikes that were impossible for anyone to dodge.

Despite the strength of Number 33’s opponent, he was forced to retreat and unable to close the distance.

In mere minutes, the opponent endured a relentless barrage of lashes. His body was marked with bloody welts.

He gritted his teeth and persevered for another two minutes before being knocked off the battle ring by Number 33’s whip.

The sight sparked cheers at the betting tables as many people jumped up excitedly.

“Haha… I won! Number 33 is the winner!”

“Heh… Awesome! I finally picked the right horse!”

“Damn it! If I’d known, I would’ve gone all in. This measly payout is hardly satisfying!”

Number 33’s win had the whole crowd cheering and celebrating. Most of the gamblers were thrilled by their newfound winnings.

But for some, there was a pang of regret for playing it too safe. When they held the celestial stones in hand, that regret only intensified.

They could’ve hit the jackpot if they hadn’t been so cautious. It was a missed chance that stung.

“Sir, you’re awesome! You said Number 33 would win, and he really did. You’re our lucky charm!”

“Hell yeah! From now on, whoever you bet on, I’ll follow. Anyone dares to doubt you, I’ll smack them!”

Number 33’s victory filled the pockets of most gamblers and boosted the man in gray’s reputation. Everyone gathered around him and praised him like he was some sort of good luck charm.

After all, predicting the winner twice in a row was no coincidence. It took real skill to pull that off.

“Whoa! Number 33 actually won!” Ruby exclaimed. “Isn’t that man in gray amazing? Just a glance, and he’s got the whole game figured out. He’s like a freaking oracle!”

Miles said excitedly, “Yes, he’s amazing! Following his lead is a guaranteed win!”

He regretted betting half of his celestial stones earlier. But in the next round, he was prepared to go all out.

“You’re right. He’s got a knack for this

and can spot winners better than us.”

Ruby nodded in agreement.

Dustin chimed in unexpectedly, “You should be satisfied with what you win. Don’t let greed cloud your judgment.

“In gambling, the biggest mistake is getting greedy. Knowing when to call it quits is the smart move.”

Miles said enthusiastically, “Dustin, you’re missing the point. This is our chance to hit the jackpot. We’ve got to seize it and stack up those celestial stones. Passing this up would haunt us forever!”

“He’s right! How can we stop when there’s a chance to earn celestial stones!” Ruby added.

The pair had gotten caught up in the moment. After scoring two wins, they were riding high. And with the prospect of more celestial stones on the horizon, they weren’t ready to call it quits.

It was a case of now or never. Once this chance slipped by, there was no second shot.

Confronted with their stubbornness, Dustin merely shook his head and stayed silent. He had already reminded them, but whatever happened next was beyond his control.

If they kept betting, they were bound to lose everything.

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?
