An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 949

Ronald was the only one who stayed behind.

"Why are you still here, Ronald? Go back," Paul said.

Ronald did not answer him.

He gave him a quick once over and looked at Dustin instead. "Dustin, where did you hire this person?"

"What? What nonsense is that?" Paul frowned.

"Well? Are you going to keep up the act?" Ronald's expression darkened.

"Watch it! Is this how you talk to your mentor? How rude!" Paul scolded angrily.

"Hmph! I'll see for myself if you're a man or a ghost!" Ronald huffed.

Suddenly, he reached out to claw at Paul's face.

Paul frowned and quickly stepped back. But he wasn't fast enough.

Just as Ronald was about to grab him, Dustin rushed up and stood between the two.

"Sir Reeds, please have mercy. Hear me out," he said.

"You horrid student! How dare you attack your mentor?

"That is unacceptable behavior!" Paul looked furious.

"Alright, alright. Enough with that. Sir Reeds has already seen through your disguise."

Dustin shot the person behind him a warning look.

Paul's expression immediately changed when he heard that. He was livid just moments ago but now broke out into a mischievous smile.

Then, a woman's voice could be heard coming from him.

"As expected from a grandmaster! I've put so much effort into making this prosthetic mask.

"But you were still able to see through it."

Then, reaching up to grab the mask, Paul's face disappeared instantly. Instead, a beautiful and alluring face appeared before them.

It was Azalea!

"Who is this, Dustin?" Ronald frowned.

"She's a friend of mine, Sir Reeds. She's skilled in the art of face-changing."

Dustin bowed and explained, "This was my last resort. I had to expose Spring. Please overlook this."

"Oh, so she's skilled in the arts of disguise." Ronald nodded.

Then he said, "Though your actions do not seem right, you only did this to prove your innocence. It's understandable."
