An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Jayden raised an eyebrow, having no idea what was happening. But he could see that Elena disliked Dustin.

“Since when did the Murray family have such low standards? How could someone like him enter our residence?” Hearing that, Sheila quickly explained, “Jayden, Dustin is my friend.”

“Sheila, you must know that with your status and identity, not everyone can be your friend.”An

your cousin. Are you even human?” Dustin questioned coldly.At that point, Jayden lost his cool and shouted, “How outrageous! Don’t blame me for beating you up for all the bullshit you’re saying!”“You bastard! I’m ordering you to apologize to my brother now! Otherwise, you’re going to pay for this! Roxanne threatened fiercely. Elena tried to make matters worse, too..“Mr. Murray! If I were you, I’d cut off his tongue and feed it to the dogs to release my anger!” Meanwhile, Dahlia observed from the side with indifference. She did not say a word the entire time.“Dustin, is there a misunderstanding? Jayden has always been very kind to me.

Everyone thought Dustin was acting like a madman, attacking anyone as he liked.“Dustin, you must be mistaken, right?

You can never know what people are planning,” Dustin reminded her.Jayden retorted, “Dustin, you claimed I’ve sabotaged her. Do you have any evidence?” “That’s right! Without any proof, you’re just making baseless claims! Show us the evidence if you can!” Roxanne shouted as she pointed her whip at Dustin.“If you don’t have evidence, then you’re spouting nonsense! I’ll cut off your tongue to teach you a lesson!”“You want evidence? Fine.” With that said, Dustin walked toward Gale. He examined the horse and asked, ” Before the race started, Jayden touched Gale’s head. Everyone remembers that, right?”“So what if we remember?” Roxanne snapped. But Dustin did not respond.
