The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection
With Husband 646

Chapter 646

Nathaniel obviously saw an opportunity to completely crush Shaun-a perfect chance to kill two birds with one stone.

Before Shaun could respond, Dominic interrupted coldly, "Shut up! Who told you we're here to cause trouble?"

Then, he shot an anxious glance toward Shaun 'If I'm not mistaken, you're Shaun Sullivan, which would make Mr. Zeller your nephew. Correct?"

Shaun was about to answer instinctively when he suddenly froze, wondering if the "Mr. Zeller" he meant was Felix. The others also noticed the unusual formality in the address, especially coming from the head of the Walsh family.

After all, addressing an outsider as "Mister" typically meant they held a higher status and deserved special respect. However, they were puzzled as to what could make Felix so special.

"Dominic, what's your wife trying to do?" Felix finally broke free from Yvette's tight grip and stepped forward.

That single question made Evelyn's teeth chatter with fear, while Dominic struggled to maintain a genuine-looking smile.

"Mr. Zeller, this is absolutely a misunderstanding. Evelyn was just nervous at the restaurant earlier, which led to this unfortunate situation. I came personally to apologize

to you."

At that moment, Dominic wanted nothing more than to slap Evelyn. What should have been a trivial matter had escalated into such a mess.

He had known trouble was brewing the moment he got Evelyn's frantic call about seeing Felix at the restaurant. Although their old grudges had supposedly been put to rest, Evelyn's panicked reaction-turning and fleeing on sight-had practically screamed that something was wrong.

"If something like this happens again, I won't be so understanding," Felix said coldly.

Though irritated, he considered it a minor issue and did not want to waste more energy on it. He had actually wondered if the Walsh family would dare to provoke him again.

The exchange between the two men, particularly Dominic's submissive attitude, left the Sullivan family members wide-eyed with disbelief. After all, this was the mighty Dominic, and he was apologizing to Felix, Yvette's nephew, in front of everyone, completely disregarding his pride.

What could have prompted this?

"Yes, yes! Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Zeller. I promise it won't happen again," Dominic replied with relief.

Dominic's relief was genuine. Despite the Walsh family's status, Felix had humiliated them in front of countless guests not long ago. Dominic's pride had taken a hit that day, but with the combined pressure from the Moonshadow Alliance and Dragon Alliance, he had not dared to retaliate.

Yvette was the most shocked of all. She knew Felix's background better than anyone. After his parents' death, his family business had been ripped apart and divided by the rest of the Zeller family.

Felix, who had once lived with comfort and privilege, had fallen into an ordinary, unremarkable life. Yet somehow, he had transformed into someone who commanded such quiet luxury that even someone like Dominic showed such deep respect-or rather, complete fear. As Dominic and Evelyn turned to leave, Felix suddenly remembered something and called out, "Wait."
