Все главы An Understated Dominance: Глава 1401 - Глава 1410

Within the Inner City was the City of Aylka, symbolizing supreme power. It was a sacred place that countless ambitious individuals dreamt of being in. It was also where Dustin intended to seek the truth and justice. However, now was not the time for that. Inner City was quite congested, as it happened to be rush hour. Even though Dustin had left an hour early, it was already dark when he finally arrived at his destination. Natasha hosted the celebration at Skylight Heights Hotel, a luxurious five-star hotel. The venue was perfect for hosting a grand celebration as it offered a wide range of entertainment facilities. It was a high-end establishment with excellent service, making it the ideal choice for hosting such an event.Meanwhile, inside Banquet Hall One on the top floor of the hotel, a group of young men and women had come together. They were all elegantly dressed, toasting their drinks and chatting happily. On stage, song and dance performances were constantly entert

"Stop joking. Ms. Harmon is pursued by many outstanding people in the industry. How could I compare to them?" Cody shook his head. Even though he was flattered, he was self-aware. The gap between their social status was far too wide. "Cody, if you put your heart into it, you can achieve anything. No matter what, you should give it a try. What if you happen to be Ms. Harmon's type?" Harper encouraged him."Really?" Cody was somewhat uncertain."Why would I lie to you?" Then, Harper added, "Look at yourself. You're handsome, tall, poised, and charming. "Most importantly, you're skilled in medicine, attentive, and have great character. A man of your caliber is truly a rare find in this world!""Is that so?" Cody ran his fingers through his hair and straightened his tie. His confidence surged, and he looked delighted. After all, he considered himself an outstanding and nearly perfect man. He also had tremendous potential. It didn't seem too far-fetched to marry the granddau

"Greetings, Ms. Harmon!""Hello, Ms. Harmon!"After a short moment of silence, the entire hall erupted in loud chatter. Everyone began crowding around Natasha to greet her.Those who could show up at the event were either high-ranking officials or top executives of major corporations. It was only natural that they knew Natasha's identity. There were even some who had attended the event for the sole purpose of sucking up and currying favor from her. "No need for formalities, everyone. Please make yourself comfortable."Natasha remained composed. She showed no reaction to the crowd, who flattered and fawned over her. Her alluring eyes swept across the hall as though searching for something."Cody, could that be Ms. Harmon?" Harper discreetly pointed at Natasha."She should be. I cannot think of anyone who has such captivating beauty apart from Ms. Harmon!"Cody's eyes were bright, his face flushed, and his heartbeat accelerated. He had seen many beautiful women, but never one

The crowd exchanged bewildered looks and began to whisper among themselves when they heard what Natasha said."Who's Dustin Rhys? I've never heard of him before. Do we have such a person in Oakvale?""That's weird. As someone with wide connections, I've never heard of him before, either.""So, do you mean to say that he's not someone special? But why would Ms. Harmon be interested in someone like him?""Well, he does have decently good looks. Perhaps he's just one of those men who pleases women and makes them feel good so that he can mooch off them?"The influential elites whispered, all looking baffled.As people of the elite circle, they were always very well-informed. However, none of them had ever heard of the name Dustin Rhys. Thus, they deduced that he wasn't someone from their circle, nor was he anyone of importance.But what they did not understand was why the high and mighty Natasha would get involved with a small fry like him? Was it true love? Or was it just an infatu

Dexter raised his hand midair, ready to strike Natasha. However, he forced back the urge to do so.Never had a woman ever dared to speak to him like that. Had he not had his considerations, he'd have had his way with her."Hey, rascal! Who are you to snatch my woman away from me? Do you wish to meet your maker so soon?" Dexter turned to Dustin and glared at him fiercely.He could not get rough with Natasha, but it would be easy for him to deal with a little boy toy. As long as he wasn't royalty or part of the four ancient houses, Dexter could do anything he liked to him. "It's common courtesy to tell the other party your name before asking for theirs," Dustin said casually."Hmph! You want to know who I am? Fine! I'll tell you!"Dexter shot him a vicious glare before saying, "Now, listen up, and listen well! I am Dexter Fallon of the Fallon family, one of the four ancient houses! I'm a Four-star Marshal, and they call me the Black Tornado!""Oh? So what?" Dustin responded imp
