An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1592

“My Lord, they claim that they can help you deal with Scott’s murderer and hope that you’ll meet them,” the guard said.

“Oh, is that so?” Anders raised an eyebrow.

After considering it briefly, he nodded. “Very well, let them in.”

“Understood.” the guard acknowledged and promptly left. Soon, Eleanor and Elena were brought into the room. Eleanor appeared relatively fine, only her cheeks were slightly red.

On the other hand, Elena appeared pale and disheveled. She struggled to move in her wheelchair and coughed occasionally. She looked especially weak.

“Greetings, Sir Anders!” Eleanor bowed immediately upon seeing Anders. Elena struggled to get up from her wheelchair but was stopped by Anders. “All right, that’s unnecessary. Please, both of you, straighten up.”

“Thank you, Sir Anders.” Eleanor stood up straight and lowered her gaze, maintaining a respectful demeanor. Elena, on the other hand, couldn’t help but steal glances at Anders from time to time, her heart racing.

He certainly lived up to his reputation as one of Oakvale’s four princes. Handsome and charismatic, he looked far more attractive than in photos.

He was handsome, held a prominent position, and wielded significant power, making him the perfect man. If only she could marry someone like him, she would consider it a dream come true.

“So tell me, why have you come to see me? Anders asked impassively.

“My Lord, we heard Dustin caused a commotion at Jadeleaf Manor today and even publicly killed Scott.

“We’re greatly outraged by this and have come to help you eliminate this threat.” Eleanor went straight to the point.

She understood well that pretenses were pointless before someone as influential as Anders. Her best chance at convincing him was being honest and open.

“I appreciate your goodwill. However, how exactly will you be able to help me? “Anders retorted.

“We know Dustin very well, including his weakness. With a little scheming, we can lure him into our trap.
