An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 658

For a moment, a commotion spread through the crowd. Felix Miller had just prostrated before Dustin, and now Chad Miller followed suit. What was going on? Was this what they called "like father, like son"? Though they didn't exactly know what had happened, anyone could tell that the Charging Tiger gang was in trouble. They were sure the handsome young man possessed considerable influence.

"I was wrong, Mr. Rhys. It's all my fault. I failed to recognize you, and I underestimated you. Please don't take my wrongdoings to heart. I hope you can find it in you to forgive me," Chad apologized as he slapped himself repeatedly. With each slap, a loud, clear smacking sound echoed, showing just how hard he was slapping himself. In no time, he quickly made up for the remaining 20 to 30 slaps that Dustin had left out.

"Please get things right. The person you should be apologizing to isn't me," Dustin said impassively.

Chad seemed caught off guard initially, but he quickly caught on and went over to Edmund and Abigail. Then, he kneeled and said, "I am truly sorry. This is all my fault. I beg for your forgiveness. I will compensate you ten times for all your losses!"

"Hah! Who wants your filthy money?" Abigail turned away huffily, not wanting to bother herself with the likes of him.

"What are you doing, Mr. Miller? Please don't kneel to us!" Edmund was so frightened that he quickly reached out his hand, signaling for Chad to stand up.

"If you don't forgive me, I will keep kneeling until you do." Chad seemed bent on receiving their forgiveness.

"Alright, alright, we forgive you. You're forgiven. Please, do kneel any longer!" Edmund nodded furiously, obviously overwhelmed by Chad's behavior. Chad then turned around to glance at Dustin. Only when he saw that Dustin gave him no reaction did he slowly straighten up.

"Mr. Rhys, your magnanimity is truly admirable. You are a role model for people like us!" Felix quickly complemented him when he saw that the critical situation had been averted.

"Pay up first," Dustin piped up.

"Yes, yes. Right away." Without a moment's hesitation, Felix immediately wrote a check for twenty million dollars check and handed it to Edmund.

"It's … it's too much!" Edmund dared not take the money.

"What do you mean it's too much? He owes it to us!" Abigail didn't waste any time and snatched the check from his hands, stashing it safely away in her pocket.

"Mr. Rhys, I've paid them." Felix conjured up the brightest smile he could manage.
