Chapter 346 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âWe beg for your forgiveness, Ms. Nicholson!â
The rest of the Langfords followed suit and kneeled down on the floor.
At the sight of that, Dahlia was stunned, and so was Dakota. Even Florence, who had been whining
until a moment ago, stood there in a trance.
They thought the Langfords were here to seek revenge. However, it had never occurred to the Nicholsons that the Langfords would behave so humbly all of a sudden.
âMs. Nicholson, Iâm sorry. I thought too highly of myself. Please forgive me!â
When Luis saw that Dahlia wasnât making any responses, he began to slap his face like he was crazy, even though his cheeks were already red and swollen. Despite the pain, he dared not stop.
Half an hour ago, after finding out Dustinâs true identity at the banquet hall, Luis was frightened out of his wits. He thought he was doomed. Ethan even wanted to kick him out of the Langford family and cut ties with him.
However, to everyoneâs surprise, Dustin was willing to let Luis off the hook on the premise that Luis had to ask for Dahliaâs forgiveness.
Luis was, of course, happy with what Dustin said. Hence, he immediately rushed over to the Nicholson Villa to apologize to Dahlia. As long as his life could be spared, he didnât mind swallowing his pride.
âWhat is going on?â Dahlia raised her brows, at a loss as to what to do.
A while ago, Luis was still acting all high and mighty, having control over her life, and now he was kneeling before her. She found it hard to comprehend such a drastic change in character.
âAm I seeing this wrongly?â Florence kept rubbing her eyes in disbelief, wondering if that was still the powerful aristocrat.
When Dakota finally came to her senses, she immediately reached out her hands to help Luis up. What are you doing, Mr. Luis? Get up quickly! They arenât worthy of having you kneel down to them.â
âOut of my sight!â
However, instead of letting her touch him, Luis slapped Dakota in the face so hard that she almost fell.
If Dakota hadnât asked him to marry Dahlia, then he wouldnât have offended Dustin.
âMr. Luis, why did you hit me?â Dakota asked aggrievedly as she cupped her cheek.
Shut up, or Iâll rip out your tongue!â
After shooting a fierce glare at Dakota, Luis continued to apologize to Dahlia. It was a complete change of attitude.
Dakota bit the bullet and asked, âWhat happened exactly, Mr. Luis? Why donât you get up first?â
I-itâs okay. Iâll continue kneeling. Itâs better this way.â He then said to Dahlia, âMs. Nicholson, Iâm
extremely remorseful for what I have done. Please give me a chance. I promise Iâll never show up in front of you again. If youâre still angry, I can cut off my finger to prove my sincerity!â As he spoke, he took out a knife and cut his finger off directly.
âHuh?â Dahlia was startled.
She did not expect Luis to cut his finger for real and be so cruel to himself.
âIf itâs not enough, Iâll cut off another one!â
Clenching his teeth, Luis endured the severe pain and cut another of his fingers.
With beads of sweat forming on his forehead, he asked, âMs. Nicholson, has your anger dissipated?
If it hasnât, I can continue cutting them.â
âEnough⦠Itâs enough.â
