An Understated Dominance Chapter 2742
Grace's sudden appearance changed the mood of the holding room, replacing it with a tense, unsettling silence.When Warren saw her, the arrogance he had drawn from his family's influence vanished without a trace. In its place came a chill that spread quickly through him, followed by a deep, growing unease.He knew all too well how much the princess mattered to the King and how vast her influence had become, both inside and outside the government. Someone of her standing would never appear at a small detention facility, so this wasn't some spur-of-the-moment visit.However, someone failed to read the room.Gilbert, still seething with nowhere to direct his rage, froze for a moment when a breathtakingly beautiful young woman walked in. The two men in black and Grace's own presence clearly intimidated him, but his playboy instincts quickly overrode that flicker of caution.Seeing that she seemed to be coming for them, his bruised ego flared back to life. Curling his lips into a smirk
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2741
As soon as Dustin and Natasha stepped out of the police station, the cool night air hit them.He took his phone and made a call. "I ran into some trouble," he said. "I need a favor."…Gilbert and Frederick were being held inside the police station's holding area. Although their detention was temporary, they weren't placed in a standard cell. Instead, they were assigned to a private holding room with comparatively comfortable conditions. This was an obvious courtesy afforded by the Chandler family's influence.But the preferential treatment did nothing to cool Gilbert's rage."Damn it! Those blind fools actually dared to lock me up?"He paced the room restlessly, cursing nonstop. "Once I get out, I'm killing that boy toy Rhys. Then, I'll deal with the officer who pinned me down earlier."The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He had never suffered this kind of humiliation in his life.Frederick sat against the wall on the bed with his eyes closed. His face was d

After arriving at the police station, Dustin and Natasha were led into an interview room. A middle-aged officer, Cedric Wolfe, personally took their statements. He was calm and courteous throughout.She gave a detailed account of the entire incident. She described being cornered by Gilbert's convoy outside the mall, the chase that followed, and finally being surrounded on the overpass.Dustin added more details, emphasizing the attackers' numbers, their weapons, and how the Chandler brothers had openly ordered the assault. He spoke clearly and calmly and characterized their actions as serious intentional assault and unlawful detention.Cedric took notes, his frown deepening with each detail. With the Chandler family involved and the crime carried out so openly, he found himself in a difficult position.Just then, someone knocked softly on the door. A young officer hurried in and whispered something to Cedric. Then, he discreetly handed him a phone with someone still on the line.

The bullet missed the thug but struck the ground near his feet, sending up sparks. He scrambled backward in terror, rolling and crawling to get away. The other thugs froze at the sudden gunfire, staring in uncertainty at Natasha with the pistol in her hand. None of them dared move closer."Dear, are you okay?" she asked, rushing forward and keeping the gun trained on the thugs.Dustin leaned against the overpass railing, breathing hard. He wiped blood from the corner of his mouth and waved her off."I'm fine. It's just a scratch."Natasha looked at his battered state and noticed his movements were not as sharp as before. Something wasn't adding up, so she asked, "You used to handle guys like them easily. Why are you struggling now?"Dustin smiled wryly. He didn't see a point in hiding from her anymore and said, "I can no longer use my cultivation. I'm no different from an ordinary person now.""What?" Her eyes widened in disbelief. "How did that happen?""It's a long story. I'

"Ram them," Dustin said decisively.Natasha understood immediately. There was a sharp glint in her eyes as she floored the gas and drove straight at Gilbert and his men.Gilbert was startled and quickly jumped out of the way. Two of his men weren't fast enough and got knocked to the ground.She shifted the gear into reverse and floored the gas again, scattering the group before backing straight into the cars blocking the intersection. The impact knocked the blocking vehicle to the side, opening a path.Their plan worked. Without hesitation, Natasha spun the wheel and executed a perfect drift. The car sped through the opening and off into the distance."Dammit! Go after them. Don't let them get away," Gilbert roared, scrambling to his feet. He was covered in grime and shaking with fury.Frederick crushed his cigar under his heel and got into his car, his expression grim.Engines roared as eight vans took off after the fleeing red sports car. A high-speed chase through the streets

"Ms. Nicholson, you're back," Natasha said, looking up with a bright smile. "We were just finishing up. The food here was great. Thank you for the recommendation."The way she phrased it positioned herself and Dustin as a pair, with Dahlia as the outsider.Dahlia managed a strained smile. "I'm glad you enjoyed it."She glanced at Dustin. Whatever faint hope she'd had of talking to him alone withered under Natasha's sharp look and his blank expression."I have a meeting this evening, so I should get going," Dahlia said, grabbing her handbag and rising to her feet. "The bill's taken care of.""Oh, we couldn't possibly let you pay for everything," Natasha said apologetically, but her expression showed no such concern."It's just a meal. Don't worry about it," Dahlia responded, her eyes on Dustin.Something unreadable flickered in her face before she simply said, "Take care, Dustin."He nodded, his expression uncharged. "You too."They exchanged no further pleasantries. The apolog
