An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 894

Chapter 894

“Erm?”

Upon spotting Brittany Cloude, Dustin couldn’t help but knit his brows: “What brings you here? Weren’t you expelled already?”

“If Nikki can return to the school, so can I. What do you think? Astonished, are you?”

Brittany Cloude folded her arms, a trace of sarcasm gracing her features.

Even though the other party schemed in every way possible, it couldn’t quite match a single word from my master.

“I don’t require a logical explanation.”

Dustin turned his gaze towards Letitia, questioning her.

“Young man, I acknowledge that you healed the injury of the palace lord, and we even rewarded you with five billion – quite a bargain for your services, don’t you think? You should be content,” Letitia remarked casually.

Her aged countenance held a sense of tranquility, devoid of any trace of shame.

“Money is money, and promises are promises. Once you’ve agreed to terms, you ought to honor your commitments. After all, Jade Maid Palace is a well-regarded and honorable family. Is this how you conduct matters?” Dustin’s tone was frosty.

“Who cares if we go back on our word? What’s it to you about our Jade Girl Palace!” Brittany Cloude retorted with a cold snort.

“Exactly! We do as we please; you have no say in the matter!” echoed the chorus of voices.

Their domineering stance demonstrated they didn’t take Dustin seriously in the least.

“I hadn’t anticipated that everyone within the Jade Maiden Palace would possess such virtues – being deceitful and unpredictable. Truly, shame is a concept foreign to you!” Dustin sneered.

“Young man, you’d do well to mind your words!” Letitia’s irritation was palpable.

Being rebuked publicly, it’s only natural to feel somewhat embarrassed.

“Very well, I shan’t engage in banter with you. Your shamelessness aside, you must provide an explanation for today’s altercation!” Dustin’s expression remained stern.

He had lent a helping hand, but in return, one of the gang’s disciples ended up injured by the Jade Girl Palace.

Naturally, this was a grievance he couldn’t swallow.

“Explanation? Hmph! Who do you think you are, daring to demand explanations from the Jade Girl Palace?”

At that moment, Edith emerged from the infirmary, moving deliberately.

In contrast to earlier, her complexion held a healthy flush, brimming with vitality; she bore an air of regal pride, a figure unattainable.
