An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1382

Chapter 1382: An Underground Chamber

“What qualifications does a poor loser like him have to compete for a woman with him? He’s really overestimating himself!

Dustin left the restaurant.

Isabela watched the man’s departing figure, her expression becoming somewhat complicated.

“Dustin, Dustin, I thought you were a good person, so I wanted to bring you into my circle and help you succeed. But I didn’t expect you to be so ungrateful.”

“Do you know what you’ve missed? You missed a chance to change your life, to have a wonderful life.”

“It’s all your choice, don’t blame me. I’ve given you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it.”

“Well, forget it. We’re just not on the same level. Even if you try to climb up, you can never reach our heights.”

At night, in the underground chamber of the Torby family mansion.

A thin, battered man was tied up to a pillar.
