An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1600

However, Eleanor never expected Anders’ so-called ambush would involve Holly’s lifeless body. Everyone knew that Holly was Fenley’s younger sister.

Now that Holly was dead, Fenley would undoubtedly take action, and everyone involved in the incident would face the consequences.

It wasn’t only Dustin that would suffer. They would have to suffer with him. It wasn’t until this moment that she realized Anders had used them. They were like pawns that could be discarded at any moment.

However, at this point, it was too late for regrets. All Eleanor could do now was to firmly hold her ground and try her best to extricate herself from the situation.

“Are you telling me this has nothing to do with you?” Dustin narrowed his eyes.

“That’s right. We know nothing!” Eleanor immediately shook her head.

“That’s right. We’ve been framed. Please don’t misunderstand!” Elena echoed repeatedly.

“Alright, since you claim it has nothing to do with you, then tell me, who exactly was behind this? Who instructed you to do this?” Dustin countered.

“I…” Eleanor paled and instinctively glanced at Elena. Elena avoided her gaze, looking guilty and unsure of how to respond.

“Are you not willing to tell me, or are you having trouble making up a story?” Dustin’s gaze was hostile.

“I gave you a chance, but you didn’t take it. If that’s how you want it, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

With that, Dustin suddenly grabbed Eleanor’s throat and lifted her over his head. Eleanor struggled to breathe, her face flushing red while the veins on her forehead bulged. Her entire being was overwhelmed with a fear of death, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

“Dustin! Don’t act recklessly! We-!”

Elena was about to do something about it and threaten Dustin when she felt her neck squeeze. Dustin had seized her by the throat with his other hand and lifted her up from her wheelchair.
