An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1726

After a relentless effort to stay awake, Dustin’s only reward was a piece of blue diamond. What a meager outcome.

All three of them were princes, but why were they so different? Dustin decided it didn’t matter, only wishing to head home and get some rest.

“Prince Nathaniel, it’s getting late. I’ll be taking my leave first.” Dustin excused himself.

“Go ahead. I’ll come to you when I need your help.” Nathaniel nodded with a smile. Dustin and Grace left soon after a simple exchange of pleasantries. Back in the car, Dustin held the unremarkable pendant, shaking his head and sighing.

“Grace, your brother is so stingy. How does he expect to win me over with just a pendant?” Dustin complained.

“Nathaniel is a cautious man. He doesn’t commit too readily until he’s absolutely certain. He’s already quite generous by presenting you with a fine blue diamond pendant considering his nature,” Grace explained with a smile.

In fact, had she not spoken up, Dustin probably would have left empty- handed. Knowing Nathaniel’s personality, he would have merely made grand promises without concrete offerings.

“The contrast wouldn’t have been this stark if there had been nothing to compare it with. Compared to the treasures from your older brothers, this feels somewhat lackluster.” Dustin shook his head.

“Alright, stop acting like you’ve been wronged after gaining so much tonight. Count your blessings.” Grace rolled her eyes.

“Grace, you can’t blame me for this. Your brothers were so persistent in winning me over that I couldn’t bring myself to refuse their treasures.”

Dustin shrugged.
