Chapter 1047
Chapter 1047Dustin just replied with a single word.“Thanks.” The girl in the blue dress smiled and motioned for her friends to sit.
She thought, “This seems to be the only place with many empty seats. He looks friendly, so sitting with him shouldn’t be anissue.”
“Hey, I’m Livia, and these are my friends, Leah and Quinton. What’s yours?”
“We just met, so there’s no need for names,” Dustin replied bluntly. He was on a mission, not hereto socialize.
His rudeness caught Livia off guard.novelbin
But Leah couldn’t hold back and confronted him. “Hey, watch your tone. We're just asking for yourname!
“What's the big deal about that? You’re not even dressed like a rich man. What makes you thinkyou can act so high and mighty?”
Quinton chimed in, “Yeah, you're not exactly dressed to impress. It’s an honor for you to meet us.”“It's ok, let's all forget about it.” Livia tried to defuse the situation.
But Leah couldn't let it go and snapped. “You can’t give in to a loser like him, Liv. It’s clear hedoesn’t enjoy being around people.”
She couldn't accept that Dustin had ignored such beauties like themselves. What a fool!
Quinton added, “Liv, forget about him. We're in a different league, and he’s clearly out of place here.Then, he proudly flaunted his designer tie and expensive watch. “Check out this watch; it's wortheight hundred dollars. | doubt you could afford it even with ten years‘ salary.”
He needed to show Dustin how they were on two different levels. It was unusual for someone asout of place as Dustin to be at this gathering.
However, Dustin paid them no mind, calmly sipping his drink while keeping a sharp eye on thedoor.
“See the difference between us now? It’s an honor to sit with us, so don’t take it for granted.”Quinton interpreted Dustin’s silence as a display of weakness.
“Ew! What the hell is that smell?” Leah pretended to cover her nose in disgust.
Dustin continued to disregard them, further fueling her anger. She might have even spit at him if the circumstances weredifferent.
At that moment, someone shouted, “Look, here he comes!”
The crowd turned and looked at Trent, the new patriarch of the Harmon family, walking in with his entourage. Applause filled theroom as everyone cheered for him.
Meanwhile, Leah and Quinton wanted to get closer but couldn’t push through the crowd. In the
end, they opted to watch from a distance.
“Isn't that Dylan? He is so handsome!” Leah exclaimed, her eyes filled with admiration.
Dylan came from a wealthy family and was a talented young man who captured the hearts ofmany girls, including Leah.
“| heard he’s a high-ranking commander in the Dark Panther Cavalry, serving under the ScarletWarrior. His future looks promising.” Livia gushed with admiration. To her, Dylan seemed likesomeone beyond reach.
“I'd be thrilled if | could achieve half of what he has,” Quinton confessed, his envy evident. Despitehis wealth, he couldn’t help but feel inferior to Dylan.
“It doesn’t matter how great Dylan is or how bright his future appears. He’s about to die soon,”
Dustin said, rising to his feet. His murderous glare fixed on Dylan.
