An Understated Dominance - Chapter 390

As night fell, chaos erupted at the Nicholson Villa when the front door was kicked open. Gloria, along with her bodyguards from the Nicholson Family, strode in with confidence. The two bodyguards were tall, over six feet, and they looked intimidating with their muscular builds, standing like two towering mountains.

“Dahlia Nicholson! Come out right now!” Gloria shouted as she entered the house. Her face was bruised from a fight with Dustin earlier that day, making her look fierce, especially with her angry expression.

“Oh! Madam Gloria! What brings you here?” Florence said, stepping out from the kitchen, startled by the sudden entrance.

“I want to know where Dahlia and Dustin are!” Gloria demanded, her teeth clenched in frustration.

“They haven’t been back since this morning. I really don’t know where they are!” Florence replied timidly.

“You don’t know? Are you hiding them?” A woman with a bandaged face pushed her way through the crowd.

Florence was taken aback by the stranger. “Um, who are you?” she asked, confused.

“I’m Dakota!” the bandaged woman shouted.

“Oh, Dakota! What happened to your face? You look terrible!” Florence exclaimed, shocked by Dakota’s injuries. It was hard to recognize her with her face wrapped in bandages.

“How can you ask me that? Your daughter and son-in-law did this to me!” Dakota grimaced. She had always been beautiful and relied on her looks, but now she was almost unrecognizable.

Dustin had really hurt her, and it was no wonder she was so angry.

“What? Did they beat you up? That can’t be true!” Florence gasped in shock.

“I’m not the only one they hurt! They also attacked Grandma! We need to use the house law on those two awful people!” Dakota shouted.

“Florence, bring them here, or you’ll regret it!” Gloria said, losing her patience.

“Madam Gloria, I have nothing to do with this! I really don’t know where they went!” Florence replied, looking nervous. “My daughter is kind and innocent; she wouldn’t hurt anyone! I think Dustin is the one to blame. Just arrest him if you want!”

“Hmph! I want her slapped!” Gloria yelled angrily.

“Yes, Madam!” The older servants with Gloria quickly moved in and pinned Florence down. The biggest one slapped her hard across the face, causing her to see stars and bleed from her nose.

“How dare you hit my mom? I won’t let this happen!” James yelled as he rushed down the stairs, furious at what he saw.

“Cougar!” Gloria commanded one of her large bodyguards, who quickly grabbed James by the collar and lifted him off the ground like he was a small puppy.

“Ugh…” James’s face turned red as he struggled to breathe, but he couldn’t escape.

“Let go of my son!” Florence cried out, pushing against the servants. In a desperate move, she grabbed a fruit knife from the table and tried to stab Cougar in the stomach.

Everyone heard a small clinking sound, but Cougar didn’t budge. The knife broke in Florence’s hand. “What?” She stared at the broken knife in disbelief.
