An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1321

Keanu was taken aback, and his gaze betrayed a hint of surprise. He didn’t expect Cody to get the right answer. The third riddlewas much trickier than the previous two. When he drew this question, he thought no one could answer it. He almost evenconsidered discarding it.

Yet, Cody, who seemed inexperienced, was the first to answer. It was surprising. Perhaps someone knowledgeable had pointedhim to the right answer.

“Mr. Jankow, why are you just standing there? Just announce the results. Did | get it right?” Cody urged. He was confident atfirst. But after seeing Keanu’s unusual expression, he felt nervous again.

“Mr. Ostrower, I’d suggest you stop struggling. You clearly got the wrong answer again just by looking at Mr. Jankow’sexpression,” Lana teased.

“Step down if you don’t know the answer. Don’t embarrass yourself here! “the attendees echoed. “I can’t possibly be wrongagain, can I? Keanu frowned slightly. He was close to losing his composure.

“Hmph, you acted so arrogantly, yet you were still wrong! We shouldn’t have trusted you!” Harper glared at Dustin.

Unlike her, how could someone so incompetent possibly answer such a difficult riddle? “Dear guests, please don’tmisunderstand.” Keanu returned to his senses.

He quickly cleared up the situation. ” Mr. Ostrower isn’t wrong. On the contrary, he answered correctly. The answer to the thirdriddle is indeed a library.”

“What? He was right?” Lana’s smile froze. The attendees who were clamoring earlier exchanged confused looks. Harper alsohad to swallow her words.

“Mr. Jankow, could there be a mistake? How could those idiots get the right answer?” Lana was in disbelief. Even the intellectshe invited was unable to answer. How could Harper and Cody get it right?

“There is no mistake. Mr. Ostrower answered correctly.” Keanu nodded slightly. “That can’t be.” Lana frowned.

“Harper has an overinflated ego and has no real skills. How could she possibly have answered such a difficult riddle? Could shehave gotten help?”

As she spoke, she gazed at everyone present before eventually settling on Dustin. Compared to everyone else, who wassurprised and astonished, Dustin remained pretty calm. It was as if he had expected this outcome all along.

“| got it right. | finally got it right!” Cody was excited. His previous mistakes had cost him his pride, making him the subject ofmockery. He finally regained some of it on the third question.

“Dustin, | didn’t expect you to be good at solving riddles too. Great job!” Brooke gave him a thumbs up. This man seemed toexcel in everything.novelbin

“| just read a lot. It’s nothing special,” Dustin replied calmly.

“There’s no need to be so humble, Dustin. If it weren’t for you, we would have lost.” Cody returned to his seat with a smile.

“Hmph! What's so great about it? He was just lucky!” Harper pouted, clearly unimpressed.
