Chapter 1534

Author: Marina Vittori
Even though she knew the man before her was out for her life, she showed no signs of it.

"The bigger picture?" Anders' gave her a contemptuous gaze.

"Does someone like you understand what a big picture is? Other than Godfather, I have the final say in everything in this house! That is the bigger picture!"

"Perhaps you have the power and influence, but that doesn't mean you have the right to act recklessly. After all, Godfather is still the one in charge here." Dahlia stood her ground.

"Haha … Alright, very well!" Anders suddenly laughed, but his gaze was cold.

"Dahlia, you truly are smart. That's probably why Godfather values you. Unfortunately, people like you usually don't live long. Take care of yourself."

Upon saying that, he patted Dahlia's shoulder and walked away. How dare a powerless woman challenge him? She was digging her own grave!

"Ms. Nicholson, you probably have angered Anders for backing us up. I'm afraid you'll have a harder life going forward," Dustin warned.

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2741

    As soon as Dustin and Natasha stepped out of the police station, the cool night air hit them.He took his phone and made a call. "I ran into some trouble," he said. "I need a favor."…Gilbert and Frederick were being held inside the police station's holding area. Although their detention was temporary, they weren't placed in a standard cell. Instead, they were assigned to a private holding room with comparatively comfortable conditions. This was an obvious courtesy afforded by the Chandler family's influence.But the preferential treatment did nothing to cool Gilbert's rage."Damn it! Those blind fools actually dared to lock me up?"He paced the room restlessly, cursing nonstop. "Once I get out, I'm killing that boy toy Rhys. Then, I'll deal with the officer who pinned me down earlier."The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He had never suffered this kind of humiliation in his life.Frederick sat against the wall on the bed with his eyes closed. His face was d

    After arriving at the police station, Dustin and Natasha were led into an interview room. A middle-aged officer, Cedric Wolfe, personally took their statements. He was calm and courteous throughout.She gave a detailed account of the entire incident. She described being cornered by Gilbert's convoy outside the mall, the chase that followed, and finally being surrounded on the overpass.Dustin added more details, emphasizing the attackers' numbers, their weapons, and how the Chandler brothers had openly ordered the assault. He spoke clearly and calmly and characterized their actions as serious intentional assault and unlawful detention.Cedric took notes, his frown deepening with each detail. With the Chandler family involved and the crime carried out so openly, he found himself in a difficult position.Just then, someone knocked softly on the door. A young officer hurried in and whispered something to Cedric. Then, he discreetly handed him a phone with someone still on the line.

    The bullet missed the thug but struck the ground near his feet, sending up sparks. He scrambled backward in terror, rolling and crawling to get away. The other thugs froze at the sudden gunfire, staring in uncertainty at Natasha with the pistol in her hand. None of them dared move closer."Dear, are you okay?" she asked, rushing forward and keeping the gun trained on the thugs.Dustin leaned against the overpass railing, breathing hard. He wiped blood from the corner of his mouth and waved her off."I'm fine. It's just a scratch."Natasha looked at his battered state and noticed his movements were not as sharp as before. Something wasn't adding up, so she asked, "You used to handle guys like them easily. Why are you struggling now?"Dustin smiled wryly. He didn't see a point in hiding from her anymore and said, "I can no longer use my cultivation. I'm no different from an ordinary person now.""What?" Her eyes widened in disbelief. "How did that happen?""It's a long story. I'

    "Ram them," Dustin said decisively.Natasha understood immediately. There was a sharp glint in her eyes as she floored the gas and drove straight at Gilbert and his men.Gilbert was startled and quickly jumped out of the way. Two of his men weren't fast enough and got knocked to the ground.She shifted the gear into reverse and floored the gas again, scattering the group before backing straight into the cars blocking the intersection. The impact knocked the blocking vehicle to the side, opening a path.Their plan worked. Without hesitation, Natasha spun the wheel and executed a perfect drift. The car sped through the opening and off into the distance."Dammit! Go after them. Don't let them get away," Gilbert roared, scrambling to his feet. He was covered in grime and shaking with fury.Frederick crushed his cigar under his heel and got into his car, his expression grim.Engines roared as eight vans took off after the fleeing red sports car. A high-speed chase through the streets

    "Ms. Nicholson, you're back," Natasha said, looking up with a bright smile. "We were just finishing up. The food here was great. Thank you for the recommendation."The way she phrased it positioned herself and Dustin as a pair, with Dahlia as the outsider.Dahlia managed a strained smile. "I'm glad you enjoyed it."She glanced at Dustin. Whatever faint hope she'd had of talking to him alone withered under Natasha's sharp look and his blank expression."I have a meeting this evening, so I should get going," Dahlia said, grabbing her handbag and rising to her feet. "The bill's taken care of.""Oh, we couldn't possibly let you pay for everything," Natasha said apologetically, but her expression showed no such concern."It's just a meal. Don't worry about it," Dahlia responded, her eyes on Dustin.Something unreadable flickered in her face before she simply said, "Take care, Dustin."He nodded, his expression uncharged. "You too."They exchanged no further pleasantries. The apolog

    "Ms. Nicholson, don't just sit there. The beef is delicious. You should try some," Natasha said.She seemed to have just noticed Dahlia sitting there in silence. Her tone was warm, but her smile carried a hint of triumph."Thank you," Dahlia replied, looking up and forcing a smile. She picked up a slice of beef, but her throat felt tight, and she could barely swallow. She tried to find something to say, both to break the awkward silence and to satisfy her curiosity about what Dustin had been doing lately."I heard you were away for a long time recently. Were you handling something important?"Before he could answer, Natasha cut in. Her tone held both pride and a clear assertion of her knowledge of his whereabouts."You're right. My man is very capable. He was dealing with some very important matters and even saved the King. Isn't that right, dear?"She placed another piece of meat on Dustin's plate while she spoke.Dahlia's stomach dropped. She'd always known Dustin was extrao
