An Understated Dominance - Chapter 370

Dahlia was eager to finish serving tea. Just as she picked up the third cup, someone stopped her. It was Dustin. He had a serious look on his face and said, “Let me do it this time.”

“Why you?” Dahlia was confused. She knew Dustin wasn’t the type to do favors for anyone. Could he really be trying to help her?

“Who do you think you are? You can’t even serve Grandma tea!” Dakota sneered. She was there to put Dahlia down, not this useless guy. “Hmph! You uncultured people! How dare you talk in front of me?” Gloria, with her chin held high, clearly disapproved.

“It’s just a cup of tea. What does it matter who serves it? I’m in a great mood, so I’ll serve you,” Dustin said as he picked up the cup and walked over to Gloria.

Then, to everyone’s shock, he dumped the entire cup of tea over Gloria’s head. Tea, leaves, and all splashed down on her. Her face was soaked, with tea leaves sticking everywhere.

The room fell silent. No one expected Dustin to do something so bold. Gloria was an important member of the Nicholson family, Regulus’ third wife. She was always admired and respected. When had she ever been humiliated like this?

“Dustin! How could you?” Dakota was the first to react, her voice filled with anger. “You must be out of your mind! How dare you treat Grandma like this?”

“Y-you! Fool! Do you even realize the huge mistake you’ve made?” Gloria glared at him, shaking with rage. After being in power for so long, she was used to putting others down, not the other way around. “My, such a fiery spirit!”

temper. “I guess one cup isn’t enough. Here, have another.” Dustin’s smile was cold as he poured a glass of hot water and splashed it on Gloria’s face.

“Ah-!” Gloria screamed as the water burned her. Almost instantly, one side of her face turned red and swollen. Looking back, it was almost funny.

“Do you see this? This is what I call boiling hot water,” Dustin said, sounding like he was teaching a lesson.

“Rhys! Have you lost your mind? How could you hurt them?” Florence shouted, shocked and angry. It was bad enough he had poured the first cup of tea on her, but a second cup of boiling water was too much!

“When did I hurt anyone? I’m just serving an elder her tea,” Dustin replied casually.

Every family had their own rules, and he understood that. If Gloria had just made Dahlia serve her tea as was customary, he could have ignored it. But everyone saw how Gloria had humiliated Dahlia by spitting tea on her, and he wasn’t going to let that slide.

“Guards! Where are my guards?” Gloria yelled, furious. Within moments, two bodyguards rushed in from outside the door.

“How dare this insolent brat touch me? Guards, teach him a lesson!” Gloria shouted.

“Yes, Ma’am!” The bodyguards were ready to take Dustin down. But before they could reach him, Dustin slapped them hard, sending them flying across the room, knocked out cold.

“It’s not wise to use your age to bully others. Dahlia is a potential successor of the family. How will it help you to disgrace her in public? Have you ever thought about the consequences if she…”

Who will become the next matriarch? Everyone gets older, and it’s crucial to stay clear-headed and make smart decisions. If you continue to be difficult and unreasonable, don’t be shocked when I decide to take action.
