An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1112

Chapter 1112 Cousin’s Conundrum

“Stop!”

Just as Dustin was brutally beating Garrett, a melodious shout suddenly rang out from behind.

Dustin turned around to see that Shiela had regained consciousness, her small face showing a mix of shock and disbelief. She hadn’t expected to wake up to such a scene, and she couldn’t understand why her cousin, Dustin, was beating up her cousin, Garrett.

“Dustin, what are you doing?” Shiela furrowed her brow, looking somewhat perplexed.

“Garrett distorted the truth and sided with the enemy. I’m just teaching him a lesson on behalf of the old general, so he doesn’t go down the wrong path and harm himself and others,” Dustin explained plainly.

“Nonsense!” Vivian immediately countered, “Shiela, Dustin here kidnapped you, and we rushed to rescue you. But he turned the tables and assaulted your cousin. Look at him, see what he’s turned your cousin into!”

“Exactly! This guy is treacherous. After we exposed his true colors, he got furious, started a fight, and even threatened to capture me. He’s utterly despicable!” added Chase.

“Dustin, is what they’re saying true?” Shiela looked puzzled.

“Shiela, do you think I’m that kind of person?” Dustin asked in return.

“No, you don’t seem like it,” Shiela shook her head and then asked, “But why did you beat up Garrett so?”

“Nakamura from the Kingdom of the Golden Phoenix kidnapped you and used you to threaten me. After I dealt with the Kingdom of the Golden Phoenix’s warriors, Garrett and his men arrived. This guy, in his effort to please the Kingdom of the Golden Phoenix, not only shielded Nakamura but also turned against me, accusing me falsely and even threatening to arrest me. Shouldn’t someone like that receive a lesson?” Dustin explained the whole situation in one breath, concluding with a question.

“This…” Shiela was momentarily speechless.
