“Matthias…” Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Grace was about to speak up.

However, Dustin spoke first, “I would appear rather ungrateful if I didn’t show my appreciation for your generosity. Very well, I’ll accept all these treasures!”

“Huh?” Grace was stunned and swallowed back her words.

What was going on? What was Dustin thinking?

First, he accepted Tristan’s gift, promising to back him in the shadows, and now he was accepting Matthias’ treasures without hesitation. What an opportunist! Was the West Lucozian Crown Prince that weak against temptations?

“Hahaha… Great! You’re really candid! “Matthias laughed heartily when Dustin agreed.

“Guards! Pack up everything here and send them to Logan’s residence later!”

“Thank you for your generosity, Prince Matthias!” Dustin bowed in gratitude.

“It’s nothing.” Matthias chuckled.

He then changed the subject, “But speaking of which, did Father really not bring up anything special during your conversation?”

Hearing this, Dustin glanced around and hesitated. Matthias caught on immediately and ordered, “All of you, leave us. We’re going to have a private conversation.”

“Right away, Your Royal Highness!” Everyone responded and left one after another. Matthias then turned to Grace. “Grace, go and get some rest in the next hall.”

“Alright.” Grace cast a doubtful glance at Dustin before leaving.

“Logan, it’s only us left. You’re free to speak your mind,” Matthias said.

Dustin closed the door and lowered his voice. He spoke mysteriously, “Prince Matthias, I’ll be honest with you. His Majesty did indeed tell me a secret. However, it’s an important matter and concerns the fate of the nation, so you mustn’t leak this information.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll keep it a secret!” Matthias promised, patting his chest. While he was aware that Dustin had a private discussion with his father and brother, the specifics remained unknown to him.

However, he was certain it was an important discussion that would determine the future political landscape. That was why he spared no expense in buying Dustin off, determined to be one step ahead.

“Prince Matthias, His Majesty has been in poor health lately and is considering abdication. However, His Majesty has yet to decide on a rightful successor, and this has been troubling him deeply.

“The reason he had asked to see me was to seek my opinion on identifying the most fitting heir for the throne,” Dustin whispered.

“Heir to the throne?” Matthias’ gaze sharpened, his attention now fully captured. Matthias had been right. His father was gravely ill and had to decide on the rightful successor. He must have sought Logan’s opinion due to the West Lucozian monarchy’s influence.

“Logan, how did you respond?” Matthias was both nervous and hopeful. He believed he would be favored by his father for his courage and outstanding achievements.

“Each of the royal princes has their own strengths, so I wasn’t able to decide either. His Majesty had asked me to consider it carefully before giving him an answer.” Dustin put on a troubled front.

“Logan, my brother!” Matthias suddenly became excited and grabbed Dustin’s hand.

His eyes gleamed as he continued, “We hit it off from the moment we met. Although we’re not related by blood, our bond is stronger than that of real brothers. If I were to contend for the throne, you would surely support me wholeheartedly, wouldn’t you?

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?
