An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

While listening to Lana's story, Dustin couldn't help but be astonished. Despite their privileged lives, some daughters of wealthy families still had to contribute value to their families.

Either they excelled in business, continuously earning profits for the family, or were strikingly beautiful, securing benefits through an arranged marriage.

Women like Lana, both beautiful and outstanding, were crucial pawns for their families to climb the social ladder.

Therefore, she couldn't decide her marriage on her own. After all, the Camron family relied on her, and she carried the weight of the entire family.

Dustin finally understood why Lana was willing to endure gossip and tarnish her reputation. Ultimately, she had no choice, being forced into a situation beyond her control.

"Here, cheers," Dustin said, raising his can.

"Cheers!" Lana smiled, clinked their beer cans, and finished the remaining beer. She then opened two more cans, handing one to Dustin.

"I consider myself lucky to have met you. You helped me and gave me a chance to choose," Lana said with a smile.
