An Understated Dominance Chapter 1038 by Marina Vittori

“What are you two whispering about?” Dahlia was confused by the woman in front of her. Why was she sighing and then giggling? Was she out of her mind?

“Nothing, nothing. Perhaps I’ve mistaken you for someone else. I’m sorry.” Natasha pursed her lips after she apologized. Well, Dahlia had lost her memories after all. Natasha couldn’t be so petty as to make things difficult for someone who’d lost her memories, could she?

“You’re weird.” Dahlia frowned. Though she did not know Natasha, she had an unpleasant feeling about her.

She looked past Natasha and at Dustin. “Hang on … You look quite familiar. Have I seen you somewhere?”

“Hmm?” Natasha was immediately on guard when she heard that.

Didn’t Dustin say that she’d lost her memories? Could she have remembered him?

Was she deceiving them?

“You remember me?” Dustin was surprised.

“Oh, I remember now. You were the insurance agent.” Dahlia immediately recalled where she had

met him after giving it some thought.

This man had gone to the hospital to promote his insurance packages. But Florence had driven

him away back then.

“Yes, insurance agent. That’s right.” Dustin nodded.

It seemed like she didn’t remember the past anymore. But that was good. They could now live

their own lives.

“Hmph! And I thought he was someone powerful! Turns out he’s just an insurance agent!”

“How dare a social underclass like him slap Ms. Forrest! He just dug his own grave!”

“I have a net worth in the billions, yet I dare not act haughty here. How dare an insurance agent

behave so arrogantly? Unbelievable!”

An uproar broke out among the onlookers when they heard about Dustin’s status.

Sean, Mrs. Lansky, Mrs. Prewitt, and the rest looked at him in contempt. They looked at him as if

he was a fool.

They were wary before, thinking that Dustin may have an influential background. How else would he dare to slap Ms. Forrest?

But at the end of the day, he was just pretending to be all that.

“Ms. Dahlia, are you on close terms with this insurance agent?” Elena asked.

“I’ve only met him once. We’re not close.” Dahlia shook her head.

“That’s good to know.” Elena discreetly let out a sigh of relief.

She looked at Dustin with malice.

If Dahlia had said she was close with Dustin, she might have to hold back. But since they weren’t, she would get back at Dustin.

“I advise you to apologize to Ms. Forrest immediately. You might escape this mess if you do,”

Dahlia said.

“Apologize? She does not deserve an apology,” Dustin responded calmly.

“What?” Dahlia frowned.

“That was a friendly warning. Ms. Forrest has a solid background.

“She isn’t someone you can afford to offend. There’s no point ruining your life for the sake of ego.

It’s not worth it.”

The elite circles in Oakvale were considered unreachable to ordinary people. They would only

meet a terrible end if they happened to offend any of the scions of influential families.

“Thanks for your advice, but I don’t care about them.” Dustin shrugged indifferently.

“Have I not made myself clear? Your life is in danger now that you’ve offended Ms. Forrest!” Dahlia

said frostily.

Why was this man so tactless?

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?
