Chapter 1584 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Was Scarlet irritated? What was wrong with her?
Even though Elena was frustrated and seething with anger, she dared not utter a word.
The assistant general from the Moseys was puzzled. But he was relieved that he kept his mouth shut earlier. Otherwise, he might have gotten a few slaps.
âNow, listen up. Iâm only saying this once.â Scarletâs icy gaze swept over everyone.
âDustin is my friend, and the Camron family is our business partner. If any of you start talking nonsense, donât blame me for beating you up!â
âWhat? Friends?â
The crowd gasped, utterly astonished. Who wouldâve thought Scarlet was here because of Dustin? What kind of connections did he have to get the Goddess of War here?
âMy Lady, are you serious? Youâre friends with this loser?â
Eleanor couldnât believe it. To her, Dustin was just a doctor with some fighting skills. How could he be friends with the high and mighty Spanner family?
âYes, My Lady! Heâs just a loser. How could you be friends with him?â Elena blurted out.
âHow dare you?â Scarletâs expression soured, her irritation evident as she landed a hard kick to Elenaâs gut. Elena was sent flying. She crashed into a wall, coughing up blood and groaning.
Earlier, Scarlet had given them a warning with a slap, but now she was genuinely angered. They were disrespecting Logan, and she was ready to show them the consequences of their words.
âElena!â Eleanor was shocked and rushed to help her up. Scarlet scoffed. âDo I need your approval for my choice of friends?â
Elena coughed out another mouthful of blood, leaving her visibly pale and unsteady on her feet. Eleanor frowned. Her blood was boiling, yet she held back from saying anything.
Even though they were angry, facing off with someone like Scarlet wasnât an option. They had no choice but to step back.
âWhat are you all still doing here? Scram!â Scarlet barked in a commanding tone.
The Moseysâ assistant general trembled and kept his mouth shut. He quickly led his troops away. Even if the mission was crucial, it wasnât worth their lives. In all of Oakvale, few would mess with Scarlet.
âGo, go quickly!â Eleanor didnât dare linger and helped Elena leave the Camron manor.
âWait.â Dustin suddenly called out to them.
âWhat ⦠What do you want?â
Eleanor felt a bit uneasy. She knew Dustin, backed by Scarletâs support, could bring trouble for her and Elena if he sought revenge.
âWhen you return, pass a message to the Welch and Forrest families- theyâre in for a rough ride.
âItâs all on you two. And make sure to prepare your coffins; youâll need them soon. Now, you can leave,â he declared coldly.
âYou!â Eleanor wanted to retort but caught Scarletâs glare. Eleanor held back her words and said sternly, âJust because you have the Spanner family backing you doesnât mean you can act recklessly. Weâll see how things play out!â
With that, she helped the injured Elena and quickly left the Camron manor. While their plan might have failed, it didnât necessarily mean they had lost.
Even though Dustin had Scarlet supporting him, Elena and Eleanor had the Moseys behind them. The outcome was still uncertain if it came down to a real confrontation.
