An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1557

The crisp sound of Dustin's glass hitting the ground echoed through the room. Its contents spilled to the ground.

Lana stood there, perplexed and uncertain; her actions were instinctive and beyond her control.

Even Lana couldn't understand why she impulsively reacted as Dustin was about to take a sip. At that moment, Lana and Matteo went pale, with beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.

The very scenario Matteo dreaded had now become a reality. Initially, he could have secured his family's safety by sacrificing Dustin. However, his daughter's actions ruined the entire plan.

It would spell disaster for the Camron family if Scott knew about it!

"Ms. Camron, what was that about? The drink is spiked?" Dustin raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

Lana swallowed hard.

After a few seconds of contemplation, as if reaching a resolute decision, she urgently said, "Dustin, today is a setup. Someone spiked your drink; they intended to harm you. You need to leave now!"

With that, she grabbed Dustin's arm, pulling him toward the door.

"Lana! Have you lost your mind?" Matteo slammed the table, shouting, "Do you realize what you're doing? Your actions could jeopardize the entire family!"

"Dad! I don't care about that now. I just want Dustin to live. I can't throw him into the fire!" Lana's eyes welled with tears.

"If Dustin lives, we die. Don't you understand? We have no choice!" Matteo roared.

"We can escape, leave Oakvale; maybe there's still a chance for us," Lana suggested.

"Don't be naive! The Mosey family had their men watch us for a long time. Where can we escape to?" Matteo, frustrated, scolded.
