An Understated Dominance By Marina Vittori

Chapter 308 Abby humphed. “Stop pretending when you don’t know anything ” She rolled her eyes. “We’ll know who’s better soon enough!” “Even if Dustin doesn’t win against Tatum, he’s still a rare genius, so we should still respect him,” the man from earlier said. “You’re right. Just getting Tatum to challenge him to a […]

Chapter 307 “Forget it I was just repaying your kindness earlier Since you don’t want to, forget it.” Ralph shook his head pretentiously, giving them a you’ll regret-it-one-day look Dustin and Maximus exchanged amused glances silently “Let’s go. Since we’ve run into each other, I might as well escort you two up in case there’s

Chapter 306 The old man patted the dust off his body in a poised manner. “That was a wonderful fight!” The young girl excitedly clapped after Ralph won. She turned to Dustin and Maximus. “See? Isn’t my grandpa amazing?” “Abby, did you see my palm strikes just now? Those are our guild’s signature moves. You’ll

Chapter 305 Time flew by, and two days passed. News about Tatum challenging Dustin to a duel had spread far and wide, and all the martial artists who caught wind of the challenge came in droves to watch the duel The challenger was the principal disciple of Royal Valor, Fanatic Blade of the Heavenly Immortals

Chapter 304 The man’s arrogant gaze swept the room. “I’m Dustin. May I know why you’re here?” Dustin glanced at the man before continuing to drink. “I’m a messenger of Boulderthorn’s Royal Valor. We want to challenge you to a duel. You killed Joshua Hummer, our seventh disciple, so something has to be done. My

Chapter 303 Even after returning to the medical center, Dustin still felt restless after the heavy blow Dahlia had given him. He never thought that she was the kind of person who would toy with hist emotions for revenge. They could have ended their relationship on a good note, yet she decided to make them

Chapter 302 “Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you agree with what I said?” Dustin’s final glimmer of hope disappeared along with Dahlia’s silence. He’d given her a chance to explain herself, but she didn’t give him the answer he wanted. “I’m sorry. I have my reasons.” Dahlia felt her heart bleeding, and breathing became

Chapter 301 If Luis was going to rape her, she’d rather die than suffer and be humiliated that way. “So what? How dare a secondhand good like you act innocent. Take off your clothes right now!” Luis shouted. “No!” Gritting her teeth, Dahlia ignored her weak body and staggered to the door. “Do you think

Chapter 300 Inside the presidential suite, Florence helped Dahlia onto the bed and took off the younger woman’s shoes. She then went to grab a basin of warm water to wipe Dahlia down. “Mom, I feel horrible. I want some water.” Dahlia lay on the bed weakly, feeling parched. “Water won’t work. I’ll get you some milk. Wait here.” Florence made up an excuse and quickly left the room, bumping into Luis straight away. “How’s Dahlia doing. Mrs. Nicholson?” “She’s fine. Nothing a night’s sleep won’t fix. Florence smiled. “Where are you heading, Mrs. Nicholson?” Luis asked again. “To get Dahlia some milk to case her stomach ache.” “I see…” Luis smiled knowingly. “No one sells milk nearby, so I’m afraid you’ll have to search further. You might have to come back later too.” “Are you sure? I’m pretty sure I saw a grocery store downstairs.” Florence smiled awkwardly. “Are you questioning me?” Luis‘ smile slowly disappeared, an animalistic, cruel expression taking over. “O–of course not. Got it. I’ll come back later.” Florence promised hurriedly, smiling apologetically. “Good.” Luis‘ smile returned, and he watched the woman leave. As soon as she was gone, he opened the room door and let himself in. “How did you get the milk so quickly, Mom?” Dahlia asked weakly from the bed. “Your mother isn’t coming back anytime soon, so I’ll be taking care of you,” Luis responded. “Mr. Langford? What are you doing here?” Dahlia’s face tightened. “How did you get in? Where’s my mom?” “She went to get you some milk, of course,” Luis answered, beginning to take his clothes off. “What do you think you’re doing. Mr. Langford?” Dahlia began to panic. “What do you think is supposed to happen when a man and a woman are left alone in a room?” He sneered. removing his tie, eyes full of lust. “Don’t mess with me, Mr. Langford. I’m not that kind of person!” Dahlia shouted. “We’ll be engaged in a few days and getting married soon, so what does it matter? Luis jeered. “I promise you Infinite luxury if you please me tonight.” “No! You’re not touching me until we’re married!” Dahlia stood her ground. “That’ll take too long. You’re going to sate me right now!” He lunged forward and began yanking at her clothes like a beast. “Go away!” Struggling with all her might, Dahlia planted a firm kick at Luis‘ groin, and the man immediately doubled, groaning. “Are you alright, Mr. Langford?” Dahlia was startled. Things would be bad if she caused him permanent injury down there. “You bitch!” Furious, Luis slapped Dahlia across the face, making her stagger and fall to the floor. “No woman has ever rejected me, much less kicked me. How dare you!” Luis exploded. “I’m sorry. Mr. Langford. I didn’t do that on purpose.” Dahlia shook her head. “Shut the fuck up! If you don’t want something to happen to your brother, you better kneel and beg for forgiveness!” “You’re crossing the line, Mr. Langford!” Dahlia snapped.

Chapter 299 Dahlia didn’t pick up the first two times. It wasn’t until his third attempt that the call got through. “Hey, Dahlia. Didn’t you tell me to treat you to dinner? Why aren’t you here yet?” Dustin asked. “About that I’m sorry, but something came up. I might not be able to leave any time soon.” Dahlia’s voice sounded strange.  “It’s alright. Work is more important. Take your time. I won’t bother you.” Dustin answered understandingly despite the tinge of regret. Dahlia hummed. “I’ll treat you another day.” “Sure.” Dustin smiled. He was just about to hang up when he heard a familiar voice. “Dahlia, who are you calling? Hurry up. You’ve got to drink with me-”  With a beep, the call ended. “Sir, when is Ms. Nicholson arriving?” the manager asked. “She has something to deal with, so she can’t come. You can put everything away. I’m sorry, everyone.” Dustin smiled politely and got up to leave. Everyone exchanged confused glances. Why had the carefully planned dinner gone to waste? Meanwhile, inside a Barkarole Hotel room. “Mr. Langford, I can’t drink anymore. Let’s stop here tonight.” Dahlia waved her hands frantically as another glass of wine came towards her. Her face was flushed, and she was light–headed, her body weak. “It was quite hard to get your brother out of that mess. You can’t be that ungrateful, can you?” Luis held up his glass unhappily. “Just drink it, Dahlia. It’s just one glass.” Florence, who was sitting beside them, urged. They were here because they wanted to save James, so they had to make sure they pleased Luis. “But – Dahlia hesitated, troubled. Knowing her limits, she was sure she’d collapse if she drank anymore. “I won’t force you anymore, Dahlia. This is the last glass.” Luis pushed the glass towards her once more. “See, Dahlia? It’s the last glass. You shouldn’t embarrass him.” Florence pressed softly. “Alright, I’ll drink it.” Taking a deep breath, Dahlia lifted the glass to her lips and downed the entire thing. As soon as the liquid settled, she felt herself getting dizzier. Her body swayed, and she almost tripped. With quick reflexes, Florence grabbed Dahlia to keep her still. “Mr. Langford, Dahlia is drunk. Why don’t I send her home.” 1/2 Chapter 299 “It’s fine. I’ve already booked a presidential suite for the two of you. She can just rest here.” Luis said with a smile. “Won’t that be too much trouble?” Florence questioned tentatively. “Of course not. We’ll be a family soon. You should go and rest.” Luis drew out a room card and passed it to Florence. “Thank you, Mr. Langford.” Florence nodded and helped Dahlia out of the room. “Let’s see how you’re going to escape tonight.” Luis cackled, seeing Dahlia’s retreating figure. He lifted his glass and took a big gulp before following behind the two women.
