An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 948

Spring's legs went weak, and he sat on the ground after letting out all his pent-up thoughts.

His face was twisted with many negative emotions: anger, hatred, jealousy, craze, and spite.

He could not understand why things turned out the way they did. He had come up with a perfect plan.

There should have been no mistake.

All he had to do was kill Paul, and he could take over his position. He would then be in control and have ultimate authority.

Yet, things did not go according to his plan. All his carefully planned schemes burst like bubbles.

He had only two possible outcomes when he decided to aim for his father's position. He could reach his goal and be respected by all, or he would fail and fall into disgrace.

Unfortunately, he failed.

Paul hadn't died, and all his plans and schemes were wasted. But he refused to accept the outcome!

Just one step. One more step was all it took for him to get a taste of success. Why?

"I never thought that Spring would be the one behind all this. How unexpected!"

"He pretends to be so nice and friendly all the time. But he's such an evil person! We really can't judge a book by its covers!"

"Had Sir Paul not feigned his death, this monster would have taken over his position!"

The crowd whispered among themselves.

Seeing how Spring was on the verge of madness, the crowd was more angry at him than shocked.

To think that they had supported him and gave him their complete trust! None of them had expected that he was a wolf in sheep's skin.

"Men! Tie this immoral bastard up!" Ronald ordered furiously.

"Yes, sir!"

Two elders of the Balerno martial arts alliance answered before approaching Spring. They broke both his legs and tied him up securely.

"You should die, you old thing! You should die!" Spring screamed and roared like he had lost his sanity.

"Throw him into prison and keep an eye on him. He shall be publicly punished tomorrow!" Ronald instructed his men to bring Spring away.
