An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1385

Chapter 1385: Swish

“Swish!”

With the flash of a blade, Scott’s neck was severed directly.

His head made a “thud” sound as it fell to the ground, rolling like a football for two rounds before coming to a stop.

His eyes widened like copper bells, his face filled with disbelief.

Until his death, he never expected that he would be killed not by Dustin but by his adoptive father.

Yes, Butler Benjamin, was his adoptive father.

When he was at his poorest and most destitute, Benjamin had saved him and brought him into the Torby family, giving him a place to stay.

He had always been grateful and had given his all.

So, when his adoptive father asked him to poison Dustin, he didn’t hesitate at all.

He felt that it was time to repay his debt.

He was so committed to gaining Dustin’s trust that he even risked his life by trying the poison himself.

And what was the result? A deadly strike from his adoptive father, Benjamin.

He truly couldn’t accept it!
…
“Hmm?”

Looking at Scott’s lifeless body, Dustin couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly. He looked up at Benjamin and said coldly, “Benjamin, what is the meaning of this?”

“Doctor Dustin, I’m truly sorry for the scare you just experienced,” Benjamin immediately sheathed his sword and assumed a friendly demeanor, “I didn’t expect that there would be a traitor in the house. Fortunately, I discovered it in time and prevented a major mistake.”

“Is that so? Should I thank you then?” Dustin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Benjamin had appeared so quickly, indicating that he was prepared. The ruthless strike he had just made left no room for mercy, clearly intended to eliminate evidence.
