The fork whizzed through the air like an arrow leaving the bow and went straight through Duncan’s


    arm.


    “Ah!” he screamed, cold sweat pouring down his face.


    “Remember, if this happens again, I won’t stop at just an arm,” Dustin warned.


    “You — you’re ballsy!” Duncan pressed his arm that was bleeding profusely, and ran for his life–his


    former moments of glory had now turned into a humiliating spectacle.


    “Dustin, what was that thing you took out earlier? Why did that guy get on his knee immediately when


    he saw it?” Dahlia couldn’t help but ask curiously once Duncan was gone.


    The others didn’t utter a word, but they were also bewildered.


    “Oh, two days ago, I saved a patient, and his family gave me a badge. They told me that if I ever got


    into trouble, this could save my life. I didn’t think I’d actually have to use it,” Dustin said with augh.


    “Huh? That’s unbelievably lucky,” Dahlia said, slightly surprised. She had almost thought that he was


    going to


    end up in deep shit.


    “Hmph, how impressive can that be? In the end, he was still riding on someone’s coattails!” Terrence


    said


    cynically.


    Dustin’s actions had made him feel ashamed. “You got all the glory because of that little badge. I’m tall,


    rich, and handsome, but why do I have to be shown up by you?” he thought bitterly.


    “Dustin, to forge iron, you still need a strong hammer. A favor can only be used once, so don’t be too


    pleased with yourself. Next time, you won’t be this lucky again!” Julie said indignantly.


    Her man was the best man in the world. What was a barefoot doctor inparison?


    “Really? I guess,” Dustin said with a light smile. He was toozy to defend himself. There were always


    bound to be green–eyed monsters who couldn’t see the glory of others.


    “Dustin, this badge of yours is really pretty. Can I borrow it for a few days?” Florence’s eyes were


    sparkling as she stared at the Consultant Badge in Dustin’s hand. If she could get her hands on the


    badge that could make people kneel, then of course she’d want to take it for a spin.

    “This badge already has an owner. Even if I gave it to you, you can’t use it. You might even get into


    trouble,” Dustin said, shaking his head.


    Considering Florence’s personality, if she got a hold of this, she could turn the whole world upside


    down.


    “Hmph, what kind of trouble? I think you’re just selfish!” Florence’s face turned frigid.


    “Mom, what do you want to do with Dustin’s badge?” Dahlia frowned.


    “I just thought it was pretty and wanted to take a closer look. Who would’ve thought that that bastard


    would be so petty? Whatever, I don’t want it anymore! It’s just a shitty badge; what’s so special about


    it? You can hold onto it until it rots! Let’s go!” Florence blew her top. She wasn’t in the mood to eat


    anymore; thus she straight up asked them to leave.


    “Even at her ripe old age, she still throws tantrums like a child,” Dahlia said helplessly, shaking her


    head.


    “After so many years. I’ve gotten used to it.” Dustin thought nothing of it and changed the subject. “By


    the way. didn’t youe looking for me to discuss something? What was it?”


    “It was nothing. I just wanted to refer you for a job,” Dahlia said, forcing a smile.


    “A job? What kind of job?” Dustin was taken aback.


    “To be the Chief Security Officer of the Nicholson Corp. What do you think?” Dahlia arched her brow.


    “Chief Security Officer? What gave you that idea?” Dustin was puzzled.


    “This is my first time in Millsburg, and I’m not familiar with the people or the ce. Taking on a


    multibillion- dor corporation, there will surely be many hardships. I need someone to help me,” Dahlia


    exined straightforwardly. “The corporation’s security department is in charge of safety and security.


    Any sign of trouble has to be taken care of in time. There are many positions in thepany that carry


    a lot of weight, and this is a role I can’t give to an outsider; I have to keep it within my circle. After giving


    it a lot of thought, I think you’re the best guy for the role!”


    She’d appointed him Chief Security Officer, half because she trusted him and half because she wished


    he’d stay by her side. After all, she’d be the closest person to him.


    If he took on that position, she wouldn’t have to worry about Natasha stealing him from the shadows.


    By then, with time, feelings would develop. Well, then things would be up to her, wouldn’t they?
