"Forget about it?" James raised his voice. "Dahlia, are you kidding me? I was beaten black and blue! An apology isn't going to cut it! What do you take me for?"

"I want him to kneel before me and beg for forgiveness!"

Besides, you are partly to blame."

"Dahlia, why are you taking his side? What did I even do wrong? I only broke his necklace! What's the big deal?" James snapped angrily.

"What? What did you say about a necklace?" Dahlia frowned.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:15 | Report Abuse

"The necklace you wore previously. He claimed that it was an heirloom, but I'm sure it's just rubbish!" James mumbled under his breath.

"Did you destroy that necklace?" Dahlia probed further.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:15 | Report Abuse

"Yeah, he was being extremely rude! That insolent kook refused to give me the crystal necklace, that's why I smashed it on the ground!" James said stubbornly.

"You're really asking for a beating!"
When Dahlia learned of this, she was furious. After everything that had happened, she finally understood why Dustin would beat James up. James was the one who demanded and shattered the precious crystal necklace.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:18 | Report Abuse

Other people might not have understood its significance, but Dahlia knew otherwise. The necklace wasn't just a family heirloom, it was also the only thing that reminded Dustin of his mother. It was a symbol of his mother's love for him.
When they got divorced, Dustin didn't want anything but the necklace. From this, it was evident that the crystal necklace meant the world to him.

"Dahlia, it's just a necklace! Why are you lecturing me over this?" James whined.

"That's right! Is that trinket more important than your brother's life?" Florence demanded.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:19 | Report Abuse

"I'll deal with the both of you later!"
Dahlia didn't bother to argue and left immediately. She didn't have the energy to quarrel with her spoiled brother and unreasonable mother.

Moreover, in her haste, she hurt Dustin with her words. Now that Dahlia thought about it, she regretted saying them. With his temperament, Dustin would never have lost his temper so easily.

Natasha and Dustin sat in the backseat of a silver Benz.
"Mr. Rhys, this is the Harmon family's platinum card. Please accept it as a token of our gratitude." Natasha handed

Natasha handed Dustin a black card edged with gold as she explained. "With this, you will be treated as an honored guest in all establishments under the Harmon family."

"Ms. Harmon, I don't need this." Dustin shook his head.

"Don't worry, Mr. Rhys. This is just a personal gesture.
Regarding Mr. Anderson's request for the rare plant, I will send it to your place tomorrow, Natasha said with a smile.

"That's very kind of you, Ms. Harmon. Thank you very much."
Dustin chuckled and accepted the card.

Since it was a gift from her, it would come in handy. As they were talking, the car suddenly pulled over.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:31 | Report Abuse

"I'm sorry, Ms. Harmon! I was forced to do this!" The car driver confessed before getting out and running for his life.

At that moment, two black SUVs swept by. They blocked the silver Benz in the front and rear. More than ten men got out of the SUVs. They approached the car, armed with weapons, and with covered faces. A bald, burly man who seemed to be the leader set his foot on the Benz's bonnet.

Brandishing his knife, he threatened, "Ms. Harmon, my boss wants to meet you. We will escort you."

"How bold of you to hijack my car!" Natasha replied, unfazed. She emitted a stately aura befitting a queen.

"We wouldn't have dared with all your bodyguards around.
However, they are now at the hospital guarding your grandfather. You are alone with your little boy toy! How could we pass this precious opportunity up?" the bald guy smirked.

"Well, you do have some brains in that numbskull of yours to bribe my driver. However, please satisfy my curiosity. Who's your boss?" Natasha asked calmly.

"You will know once we get there! Now, will you get off?" the bald guy urged.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:48 | Report Abuse

"You have no right to order me around!" Natasha didn't budge.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:49 | Report Abuse

"Since you are going to be difficult, I have no choice but to resort to force!" The bald man gestured to the others for a large hammer. As he was going to smash the windscreen,
Dustin opened the door and got out.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:49 | Report Abuse

"Ms. Harmon, your boy toy has no guts. I've not even started and he is already fleeing in fear. What did you see in him?" the bald guy said mockingly.

Natasha frowned and reached into her bag silently.

"You have five seconds to cram," Dustin warned.

"Do you know what you're saying? Are you trying to be a hero? Go die!"

Before the bald man could finish his sentence, a slap landed on his face. The overwhelming pressure almost dislocated his jaw. He staggered back, stars spinning around his head.

"How dare he fight back? Slay him!"

The other men immediately rushed toward Dustin with their weapons in hand. Dustin faced them fearlessly. He weaved through the crowd, his movements as light as a feather. Each time someone came within arm's length, he dealt out a firm slap.

After a few loud cracks and cries of pain, the men fell over one by one. None remained standing after receiving a slap from Dustin. Beating up more than ten muscular men seemed as easy as pie for him. The bald man was scared.

Never in his dreams would he have thought that the young man before him was such a terrifying monster. Even though all of them came at Dustin at once, not a hair on his head was harmed.

"Interesting.
Natasha's eyes shone with interest, a slight smile playing on her lips. She replaced the handgun she had lying in her bag.

Initially, she thought that Dustin was going to have some trouble taking down a group of bloodthirsty men by himself.
Who knew that he was such a capable fighter?

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:55 | Report Abuse

He was much more skilled than her bodyguards. Not only was he skilled in medicine and combat, but he was also handsome as well! A man like him was one in a million!

"Stop! Stand back!" The bald man pleaded for his life as Dustin approached him. "Don't come near me! I will make you pay-"

Before he could finish, Dustin landed a punch on his abdomen. The man threw up and kneeled on the ground in pain.
"He's all yours, Ms. Harmon."
Dustin stepped aside.

"Thank you." Natasha nodded and stared down at the bald guy. "Tell me, who's your boss?"

Sweat running down his forehead, the man hesitated.
