An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Chapter 1309 – A Unwanted Bet

“Miss Hazel, that’s a bit too much,” Carlos finally spoke. “Roselyn is my junior sister, and it’s not proper to speak like this.”

“Oh? So Mr. Carlos is here too? What a coincidence,” Hazel feigned surprise and then continued with a mocking tone. “No wonder Roselyn has the privilege to enter Emperor’s Pavilion. It turns out she has you to protect her. But I find it a bit strange, Carlos, as a young master from a prestigious family, how could your taste be so poor as to choose someone as ordinary as her?”

“Hey! Who are you calling ordinary?” Upon hearing this, Roselyn immediately flared up, wanting to confront her physically but was held back by her companions.

The Grantwood family’s influence was not weaker than the Lancaster family’s and might even be stronger. If they fought and it got back to the Lancestor family, even Carlos might not be able to protect them.

“Whoever I’m talking about is the one I’m talking about. What are you going to do about it?” Hazel sneered, her eyes filled with provocation.

She enjoyed seeing Roselyn frustrated but powerless to do anything about it.

“You… You’re going too far!” Roselyn was seething with anger and wanted to respond with harsh words, but Carlos raised his hand to stop her. “Miss Hazel, please let it go. We came here to have a meal and don’t want any trouble. I hope you’ll show some restraint.”
