An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 773

Georgia and Bridget were furious. They were about to launch another attack when Scarlet raised a hand to stop them.

"You're no match for him. Let me handle it." Scarlet stood up slowly. She swept a cold gaze across the room.

A chill was sent down the laughing crowd's spine, and they turned silent. For some reason, they felt like death was staring them in the eye.

"Oh, I didn't expect to see such a gorgeous woman here. I'm in luck."

Joel's eyes lit up in delight upon seeing Scarlet. His lips curled up into a sly smile.

"It seems like you people look down on women." Scarlet said impassively, "I'll give you a chance. If you can defend against three moves of mine, I'll let you go alive."

"You're pretty but pretty dumb."

He crashed into the wall with a loud thud and coughed out a mouthful of blood.
