“I guess you can say that I have quite an influence here in Millsburg, so if any of you ever run into any


    problems here, you cane to me,” Terrence said as he handed out his name card. As he spoke, he


    shot Dahlia one too many nces. A hint of lust shed in his eyes. Dahlia was, after all, a bombshell.


    Not only did she have a perfect figure, but her face was also exquisite. She was unlike any other


    woman he’d seen before and definitely in a much different leaguepared to Julie.


    “Very impressive, Mr. Stone! Here, take a seat, everyone.” As Florence gestured for them to take their


    seats, she called out to the waitstaff, “Excuse me, we’re ready for our meal now!”


    “Hang on,” Dahlia piped up. “We’re missing one person.”


    “Oh? Who else are we expecting?” Florence looked around them, puzzled.


    Just as Dahlia was about to speak, Dustin gracefully made his way in through the doors. “Over here!”


    Dahlia stood up and beckoned for Dustin to join them. Herpany turned around to see who it was


    and collectively


    frowned.


    “Why is he here?” Florence was obviously displeased. Because of her prejudice toward him, she still


    held him


    in disdain.


    “Sorry to keep you all waiting.” Dustin went up to them and smiled politely.


    “We weren’t waiting for you!” Florence said curtly. “You sure are a pesky one, Rhys! We’ve just arrived


    in Millsburg, and you’ve followed us here? You haven’t been tailing us, have you?”


    “I think you’re mistaken. I’ve been in Millsburg for the past few days.” Dustin said calmly.

    “Hah! Who knows if you knew that we’d being here beforehand?” Florence pursed her lips. Her


    daughter was now the chairwoman of Cardinal Group, and she’d had a huge leap in status. Dustin was


    nowhere good


    enough for her anymore.


    “Don’t say that, Mom. I was the one who invited Dustin for lunch,” Dahlia exined.


    “Fine, whatever. Since you’re already here, you can join us.” Florence couldn’t be bothered to argue


    with him.


    “Have a seat,” Dahlia patted the seat beside her, indicating Dustin to sit beside her.


    Her caring and attentive gesture, however, seemed to have caught Terrence’s attention. A cold glint


    rose in his eyes. “Damn it! Why would such a gorgeous and thoughtful woman be attracted to such a


    douchebag?” He thought to himself.


    “Buddy, you don’t sound like you’re local. Mind sharing where you’re working?” Terrence smiled


    insincerely.


    “Where he’s working? Hah! He’s just a grubby old medical practitioner with no formal qualifications,”


    Florence scorned. From how she saw things, Dustin’s sess today was all thanks to Natasha.


    Simply put, he was


    nothing more than a toy boy.


    “You practice medicine without qualifications?” Terrence was briefly stunned before he burst out


    laughing.” That’s a rare one. You’d barely be able to sustain yourself with such a job, would you?


    Things must be hard for you.” He was tantly poking fun and regarded Dustin with a dismissive


    attitude.


    “You’re right. It is tough. I barely get any patients. I’d call it a good month if I even get five patients


    coming in.” Dustin said, unbothered by Terrence’sments.


    “Hah! Then why are you still practicing it?” Terrence adjusted his tie and said pompously. “I say, why


    don’t you work for me? It just so happens that I’m in need of a chauffeur. If you can drive, why don’t you


    be my chauffeur? I’ll pay you a monthly sry of ten thousand dors. How’s that?” “Thanks. I


    appreciate the offer, but I’m not interested.” Dustin shook his head.
