An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 741

"Dahlia, what happened?" Dustin frowned.

"Yesterday, I went to Glenstead to visit the Nicholsons and check in on Grandpa Regulus. I was on my way home this morning when someone ambushed me. Fortunately, a general was passing by and saved us," Dahlia explained.

"Why didn't you tell me you were going to Glenstead? I would have sent someone to protect you." Dustin demanded, displeased.

"I brought my own bodyguards. I just didn't expect something like this to happen," Dahlia replied helplessly.

If it had just been a regular fight, her bodyguards could have dealt with it easily. However, they were no match for someone who wanted her dead.

"Do you have any idea who's planned the attack?" Dustin asked.

"Not yet." Dahlia shook her head.

"You were attacked as soon as you visited Sir Regulus. It's too much of a coincidence. If my guess is right, your family must have something to do with this." Dustin narrowed his eyes.

"Our family? That can't be right." Dahlia's brows furrowed.

"You're the largest shareholder of Nicholson Corp. now. Sir Regulus even appointed you as the heir, so everyone's aiming for your position. Considering all this, it's not impossible for someone to resort to something like this," analyzed Dustin.

Dahlia's current position was bound to attract envy from some people who knew that if something were to happen to her, other family members would have a chance of taking over her position.

To rich families like theirs, nothing mattered more than money and power. Familial bonds were useless to them.

"He's right. They must be behind this!" Julie exclaimed angrily.

"Those assholes! How dare they hurt my daughter! I'll get revenge on them!" Florence roared.

"We don't have proof, so we shouldn't make assumptions. Others might use this opportunity to cause trouble," Dahlia stated thoughtfully.

Although she had her suspicions, that was all they were. Without solid evidence, nothing could be proven.

"I'll start digging and get to the bottom of this as soon as possible," Dustin promised.
