An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1147
Christopher let out a soft sigh. “The more talented one is, the more prideful they become.
“Going back to how things used to be won’t be easy. You’ve made your decision. While he may not blame you, things will never be the same.”
“What should I do?” Sheila was visibly anxious. “Just go with the flow, Sheila. Only time will tell. Perhaps you can meet again someday.” Christopher shook his head.
Although that was the advice he offered, he knew it was too late. Once a rift had formed, no matter how hard one tried to mend it, the scar would remain.

After leaving the Murray residence, Dustin drove back to Zephyr Lodge. As soon as he walked through the doors, an anxious Cornelius rushed out to meet him. yelleding as he ran, “Sir Rhys, we have a problem! We have a big problem!”
“Huh?” Dustin frowned instantly.
“What happened? Why are you so anxious? Calm down and tell me.” “I-It’s the Scarlet Warrior. She’s here!” Cornelius was breaking out in sweat.
“What about it? It’s not like you’ve never seen her before. What’s with your reaction?” Dustin rolled his eyes at him.
Cornelius had experienced worse things. Why was he getting anxious over such a small matter? It was embarrassing.
“There’s… There’s more…”
“What? Can you just finish your sentence? Why are you so fearful? It’s embarrassing.” Dustin was slightly put off.
“It isn’t just the Scarlet Warrior. Ms. Harmon has also arrived. They’ve met! “Cornelius exclaimed. “What?” Dustin was shocked. It was his turn to be unsettled.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“I was trying …” Cornelius said, feeling perplexed. Wasn’t Dustin all haughty earlier? Who was the embarrassing one now?
“How are they? They’re not fighting, are they?” Dustin asked. He knew Scarlet’s temperament well. Once she decided to act, no one could stop her.
“No, but the air between them in the room is pretty intense.” Cornelius involuntarily shrunk back in fear.
“Where are they?” Dustin pressed further.
“In the guest lounge.” “Let’s go! Come with me!” Dustin left for the guest lounge in a hurry. Cornelius could only follow him helplessly.
Meanwhile, inside the guest lounge, Natasha was seated at the main seat.. She was leisurely drinking her tea. On the other hand, Scarlet was seated next to her, engrossed in a military strategy book.
Senior members of the Kirin Gang stood respectfully on both sides, hardly daring to breathe. It was extremely stifling. In the end, Natasha was the first to break the silence. “Ms. Spanner, how long have you known Dustin, if I may ask.”
“Since we were children,” Scarlet replied coldly.
“Oh, so you’re childhood friends?” Natasha raised an eyebrow. “We’re also arranged to be married,” Scarlet said confidently.
“Marriage?” Natasha chuckled. “Times have changed. I doubt your arranged marriage still holds any weight.”
“Our families have been friends for generations. Of course, it still stands,” Scarlet replied with an icy stare.
“Traditions are one thing, but has Dustin agreed to the arrangement?” Natasha smiled. “How do you know that he won’t agree? “Scarlet countered. “Because I’m his woman.” Natasha puffed up her chest, showcasing her prominent assets with pride.
“You’re not worthy.” Scarlet shook her head.
“That’s not up to you to decide.” Natasha maintained her smile. “I’m warning you. Stay away from him, or I’ll kill you,” Scarlet said coldly.
“Really? I don’t believe you.”
As soon as Natasha said that, she heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed. Before she knew it, a viridescent sword was pressed against her throat.
