An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Chapter 1119

Sheila was surprised by Dustin’s irrational behavior. She never imagined he would become violent over

a minor disagreement. At first, she believed he was a good person, but his actions have left her bitter

and skeptical.

“Ms. Murray, I’m joking. You have nothing to worry about. I’ll not use violence unless provoked,” he said

calmly. Vivian retorted, “Hmph! You’re saying you’re only joking? If Sheila hadn’t intervened, things

could have turned violent!”

Evan added, “Dustin, knowing martial arts doesn’t justify reckless behavior. The Murray residence is no

place for such conduct!”

“If someone doesn’t annoy me, I don’t resort to violence. But if they do, I might. That’s my advice, and

I’ll give you a break now,” Dustin said coldly.

“Sheila, this guy is out of control. You should consider kicking him out before he disrupts the

celebration!” Vivian suggested, hoping Sheila would agree.

“Vivian is right, Sheila. One troublemaker can ruin the celebration. Today, we’re celebrating General

Murray’s birthday, and many distinguished guests are here. If this guy makes trouble, it’ll hurt the

Murray family’s reputation!” Evan added.

“Sheila, we need to think about what’s best for everyone. Kicking this guy out is the right thing to do,”

the others agreed, trying to convince her.

“Dustin! You’re not welcome here. I have to ask you to leave!” Sheila said firmly. She agreed with her

friends because she didn’t want him to ruin the birthday celebration.

“You want me to go?” Dustin was surprised. Then, he chuckled. “Ms. Murray, your friends can say

whatever they want, and I’m just like them-a guest. Is it fair to ask me to leave?”

He always considered Sheila as a sister. Even if she misunderstood him, he was not upset. He

believed in mutual respect, even if they couldn’t be close friends.

But now, he realized he had been wrong. Sheila seemed determined to stand by her decision, even if it

meant turning against him. Dustin had helped her many times before, but now she was asking him to

leave.

“I didn’t invite you, and you’re not one of our guests. I have the right to ask you to leave!” Sheila

insisted stubbornly. “Ms. Murray, you didn’t invite me, but your grandfather did. If you want me to go,

you should check with him,” Dustin calmly replied.

“You-”

Sheila was irritated. She hadn’t expected him to be so bold and wouldn’t leave even when she told him

to. And he even mentioned her grandfather to intimidate her.

“Ignore him, Sheila. He’s probably making up stories about knowing General Murray,” Vivian goaded

her. Evan added, “Sheila, stop wasting your time talking to him. Get someone to escort him out!”

“Dustin! If you don’t leave now, I’ll have someone throw you out!” Sheila warned angrily.

“Sheila, show some respect!”

At that point, Cornelius couldn’t hold back any longer and snapped, “Mr. Dustin has bailed you out

many times. If you don’t appreciate that, it’s fine. But is this how the Murrays show their gratitude? By

mistreating someone

who has helped them.” “I” Sheila was speechless.
