Chapter 957 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Taken aback, Nikki forced a smile. âMadam Edith, Iâve got good eyes. I might be useful.â âNo thanks!â Edith frowned in annoyance.
âHaving Brittany around will be enough. Leave.â
âBut-â Nikki stopped talking when Edith glared at her.
The older woman snapped, âWhat? Are you going to defy me?â
âOf course not.â Nikki lowered her head and bit her lower lip.
âGet out!â Nikki was irritated.
âIâll take my leave.â With a nod, Nikki left reluctantly.
Her gaze showed her discontent and resentfulness.
She couldnât believe that despite all her contributions, Edith still didnât trust her. It was as if Nikki was an outsider.
Yet, without her, Edith wouldnât have obtained the scripture and discovered its secrets.
Nikki couldnât understand why Edith would not acknowledge her hard work and favor her.
Worst, instead of receiving Edithâs thanks, all Nikki got was Edithâs anger thrown at her.
Nikki gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, displeased.
Once she left the villa, she grabbed her phone and dialed a number.
In a low voice, she said, âDustin, I found one of the Sisterhoodâs secrets. Iâm sure itâll be useful to
you.
âLetâs meet at Auspicious Restaurant at 8:00 pm tonight if youâre interested.â
8:00 pm at Auspicious Restaurant.
Nikki sat alone in a private dining room, feeling uneasy. She wasnât sure if Dustin would show up.
but she had to take a chance.
After everything that happened, she realized it was better to take matters into her own hands instead of relying on others.
Since Edith didnât trust her, Nikki no longer needed to prove her loyalty. Instead, she would use everything in her reach to bring her power.
Just then, the door opened, and Dustin walked in. None of his subordinates accompanied him.
âYouâre here.â Nikki instantly lit up and stood up.
She was happy and relieved he was here since it meant she still had a chance.
âWhatâs the secret?â Dustin asked coldly.
âGive me Jade Maiden Scripture first, and Iâll tell you,â Nikki bargained.
Without another word, Dustin took out a manuscript and tossed it onto the table. He had
anticipated Nikkiâs intentions, so he prepared the scripture beforehand.
âI like how direct you are!â Nikki examined the scripture carefully.
Certain that nothing was wrong, she answered his question. âMadam Edith found a map within.
the incomplete scripture.
âItâs a map that leads to Iris Meskillâs tomb, where countless treasures are hidden!â
âIris Meskill?â Dustin stiffened, losing his calm demeanor.
