“Y–you, you … What did you just say?! Where are your manners, you uncultured swine? How vulgar!”
Zoey was upset by Dustin’s words. Although Dustin calmly spoke, his words hit right where they hurt.
“You’re right! A country bumpkin will always be a country bumpkin! He’s got no manners at all!” Zeke
was livid. With his privileged background and high educational status, he had never been insulted in
such a manner, much less by someone who he considered much lower in status than him.
“The way I behave depends on the person I’m talking to. Do you expect me to treat you with respect
when you’re tantly belittling me?” Dustin asked coldly.
“You!” Zoey clenched her jaws and found that she was at a loss for words.
“Come on, we’re all Natasha’s friends. Let’s not make things ugly over a small matter.” Adriana quickly
tried to smooth things over and ease the tension when she saw that things were starting to escte. It
was Mr. Harmon’s 50th birthday celebration today. There was no doubt they’d be creating trouble for
the Harmons if they were to have a row there.
“Forget it. Let’s just ignore the loser. We don’t want to stoop down to his level.” Gordon swiftly collected
himself and shot Dustin a scornful look.
“You’re right. It’s wasted effort debating with uncultured people.” Zoey shot Dustin a side–eye.
“Hah! He’s just a boy toy with a glib tongue. What else is he capable of?” Zeke insulted.
“Chicken.” Dustin spat before finding a seat by the side and proceeded promptly to ignore them.
“You!” They were so irked that they almost lost their cool again. They had started out intending to
disgrace Dustin in order to make him stay away from Natasha and to unt their superiority, but in the
end, they failed miserably. Not only did they not gain an upper hand over Dustin, he even put them to
shame. It was frustrating indeed!

Just as they were still indignant over the unpleasant exchange, amotion broke out by the entrance.
They looked up to see a hunky man d in military uniform, with two adjutants following behind him.
Following close beside him was a charming woman with a shapely figure.
“Hey, who’s the army man? He looks so cool!” Zoey’s eyes lit up.
“If I’m not mistaken, he should be Mr. Jacob’s son, Dn Harmon!” Gordon answered.
“Dn Harmon? What a nice name!” Zoey’s eyes remained glued to Dn.
“As far as I know, Dn’s a high–rankingmander in an elite unit. He’s just one step away from
bing a general. He has a mighty bright future ahead!” Gordon eximed enviously.
Dn’s return had been quite the talk of the town recently. Countless scions of prominent families tried
their best to curry favor with him due to his high military position and also because he was from the
Dark Panther Cavalry.
“He is hot,es from a wealthy family, and to top it all off, he is crazy talented. Where do you find a
man like this? I think I’m in love!” Zoey swooned over Dn with heartsing out of her eyes. He was
powerful, rich, and, most importantly, handsome. Was he not the embodiment of the
man of her dreams?
“Zoey, I don’t mean to discourage you, but people like Dn are bound to have crazy high standards.
They won’t fall for the regr girl,” Gordon reminded her.
“Nothing is for sure. I have the advantage of having Natasha on my side. Who knows? Things might
just work out?” Zoey wasn’t the least bit discouraged by Gordon’s reminder. She wasn’t about to let
such an exceptional man slip past her fingers now that he had appeared in front of
her.
“Hey Gordon, who’s thedy beside Dn Harmon? She’s beautiful and very elegant, I must say!” As
opposed to Zoey, Zeke had his eyes on thedy.
“She’s Dn’s cousin and Mr. Trent’s daughter, Kate Harmon,” Gordon introduced.
“Kate Harmon? That’s a sweet name!” Zeke rubbed his chin and asked cheekily, “Say, do you think I
stand a chance, Gordon?”
