An Understated Dominance
Chapter 1113 by Marina Vittori

Diego was startled but quickly apologized, saying, “Miss Sheila, I’m sorry for earlier. The kidnapping was all planned by Dustin. If I had known your identity, I would never have kidnapped you.”

He showed his sincere regret. Taking the chance, Jayden added, Sheila, did you hear that? Dustin is the real bad guy!”

“That’s right! Dustin is responsible for everything!” Vivian said. Evan chimed in, “I agree! He’s sneaky and will do anything to get what he wants!”

“We can all testify! Dustin kills these warriors to cover his tracks!” Everyone started talking, and it became hard to tell the guilty from the innocent. Sheila was confused and lost. She wasn’t good at making decisions and didn’t know whom to trust now.

“Sheila, I’m telling the truth,” Dustin said.

“Sheila, I’m your cousin. Would I lie to you?” Jayden pleaded.

“Sheila, why would I kidnap you?”

“Sheila, we’ve known each other for years. Have I ever lied to you?”

“Sheila, stay calm and think. Don’t let anyone fool you.”

“Sheila, would you trust a stranger over your cousin?” Dustin and Jayden argued back and forth, both trying to convince her.

“Stop, please stop!” Sheila covered her ears and sat on the ground, looking confused and hurt. She couldn’t tell who was telling the truth.

“Sheila-”

Dustin was about to comfort her. Suddenly, Jayden, who could move again, pulled out a knife and aimed it at Dustin’s chest.

“Die!” Jayden sneered and thrust the knife at Dustin. He believed that as long as he killed the man before him, who cared about right or wrong?

With dozens of witnesses, could they not persuade Sheila? The knife tip pierced through the clothes. However, Dustin’s protective energy sphere blocked it, preventing it from going further.

“Huh?” Jayden was stunned and wondered why his knife couldn’t go through. “Are you seeking death!” Dustin’s eyes hardened, and he punched Jayden in the stomach.

With a muffled sound, Jayden was sent flying more than thirty feet away. He crashed heavily into the wall. Jayden coughed up blood, teetering on the brink of death.
