Chapter 1589 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âA chance? How?â Elena perked up instantly. With disaster looming for both their families, who else could save them?
âThe Spanners may be powerful, but they donât have absolute control. Also, the Moseys are still the most powerful among the four ancient houses.â
Eleanor said seriously, âDonât forget that Dustin killed Scott. Even if the Spanners back him up, the Moseys wonât just let him get away with it.
âThat is why we can work with the Moseys to turn the tables on Dustin. We wonât only protect ourselves that way, but we can also exact revenge. Itâll be a win-win situation!â
âYouâre right, thatâs a great idea!â Elena lit up. Why hadnât she thought of it earlier?
Despite pressure from the Spanners, there might still be a chance for them with the Moseysâ support.
âEleanor, Iâll call Dahlia immediately and ask her to find a way to help us through this crisis.â Elena picked up her phone and was about to make the call when Eleanor stopped her.
âWait! Calling Dahlia may not help. Although sheâs Sir Moseyâs god- daughter, she doesnât hold as much influence as Scarlet.â
âIf we donât call Dahlia, then who should we ask for help from?â Elena was puzzled.
âThe best person to seek help from is the Veros Warrior, Anders Mosey!â
Eleanor rationalized. âEver since Anders returned to the Moseys mansion, the chess game has changed. Those who used to be loyal to Dahlia had switched sides to Anders. Scott is a prime example.
âI also heard that Dustin killed Scott right in front of Anders today. His bold move was a direct challenge to Andersâ authority.
âWhen had the renowned Veros Warrior ever suffered such humiliation? Iâm sure he hates him to the core now!
âItâll definitely be a big accomplishment if we perform well by helping him capture Dustin. Our problem with the Spannersâ will also be resolved together!â
Elena nodded in agreement. âYouâre absolutely right. Youâre definitely better at seeing the bigger picture.â
It canât be denied that Dahliaâs status had taken a fall since Andersâ return. Of course, the main reason was that Anders had a high-ranking position and commanded the military.
His accomplishments were comparable to that of Scarletâs, perhaps even better. Only an influential person like him could save them from danger.
âDonât get too excited just yet. Since weâre not acquainted with Anders, he certainly wonât help us for free. Weâll need to prove our value, âEleanor said.
âValue? What kind of value?â Elena was taken aback and looked at her curiously.
âEleanor, youâre not suggesting we offer ourselves up that way, are you?â
âWhat nonsense are you spouting?â Eleanor glared at her.
âDid you think a womanâs charm would sway someone like the Veros Warrior?â Even if she was willing to make advances, Anders might not even give her a second look.
Numerous noblewomen, including those on the prestigious Beauty Ranking, have attempted to seduce him daily, but none succeeded. To become a God of War, he must have extraordinary self-control.
âIf weâre not offering ourselves, what else of value can we offer?â Elena was puzzled.
âFirst of all, the Welchs and Forrests are prominent aristocratic families with abundant resources. If Anders is willing to help through this difficult situation, weâll agree to become the Moseysâ vassals.
âWhile we might lose out on a substantial amount of benefits, itâll help us gain a powerful ally,â Eleanor explained.
âSecondly, we know about Dustinâs weaknesses and secrets. By using this information, we can effectively help Anders remove that troublemaker. That is where our value lies!â Eleanor explained confidently.
âThat makes sense.â Elena nodded in understanding. She said, âLetâs not waste time. We should go and look for him now!â
âBut your injury âEleanor hesitated.
