An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1337

“I'm sorry, Dustin,” Eleanor remorsefully said when they reached the gates. “The Dragon Panax should have been a gift. | didn’texpect my mother to pull something like that and ruin my plan.”

“There is no need to apologize, Ms. Welch. Without your help, | would never have obtained the Dragon Panax, nor would | havebeen able to strike a deal with your mother.

“This is the best outcome | could have asked for.” Dustin chuckled. It was not a loss for him since he got the three precious herbsin exchange for a mere formula.

“You're alright with this?” Eleanor perked up.“Of course.” Dustin nodded, smiling.“Hehe! | really like you, Dustin. You’re a friend I'd like to keep!”

Eleanor smiled, showing off her dimples. “You haven’t had lunch yet,, have you? Come on, | know a restaurant that serves reallygood food. Let’s go!”

With that, she dragged Dustin into her car. Just then, her phone started to ring. As she answered the call, a deep voice washeard saying, “Ms. Welch, we've got results from the investigation.

“Mr. Swanson had indeed gone to a hotel with a female celebrity a few days ago. Based on the surveillance footage, they werebehaving very intimately. We believe that they’re in a relationship.”

“That bastard!” Eleanor nearly threw her phone to the ground out of anger. Her face was contorted with anger.“That son-of-a-bitch promised that he would turn over a new leaf. But in the end, he still went back to that vixen.

“Does he think that | don’t exist? | swear I’m going to castrate him this time!” Suddenly, she took out a dagger from its sheath.The sharp blade gleamed under the light.

“Tell me, where is that bastard?” Eleanor roared into her phone. She was no longer the sweet lady she was just moments ago.Now, she looked more like a ferocious tigress.

“Ms. Welch, Mr. Swanson is hanging out with his friends at the Imperial Oasis Club,” the person on the phone answered.novelbin

“Mr. Ramon! Drop us off at the Imperial Oasis Club now!” Eleanor ordered the moment she ended the call. Without another word,Mr. Ramon, her driver, stepped on the gas pedal and headed straight to their destination.

Eleanor gripped the dagger tightly, and her body shook from rage. Gradually, the anger was replaced by sorrow. Eleanor’s eyeswent red as tears welled up.

“Ms. Welch, what’s wrong?” Dustin asked. Eleanor turned to wipe away the tears and collect herself. When she finally spoke,there was a slight tremble in her voice.

“My parents tried to set me up with Ezra Swanson two years ago. | was against it initially, but Ezra was persistent.“With his constant pursuit, sweet talk, gifts, and surprises that he showered me with, | eventually gave in, and we became acouple.

“But some time ago, | discovered he was a scumbag who often messed around with other women. In a fit of fury, | broke up withhim.

“| intended to give him another chance if he admitted his mistakes and changed his ways.

“But that asshole is a cheater who will never change his ways! He promised me he’d never do it again. But the next thing | hearis him going to a hotel with a vixen!

“| just don’t get it! Why must he treat me this way? Am | not good enough for him?”

Toward the end, Eleanor was already choking up on her words. She had only ever treated Ezra sincerely but was betrayed inreturn.

“You're not the one at fault, Ms. Welch. He’s the one who can’t appreciate a gem like you.

“The best thing you can do for yourself with a man like that is to let him go as soon as possible,” Dustin consoled her.
