Chapter 1038 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âWhat are you two whispering about?â Dahlia was confused by the woman in front of her. Why was she sighing and then giggling? Was she out of her mind?
âNothing, nothing. Perhaps Iâve mistaken you for someone else. Iâm sorry.â Natasha pursed her lips after she apologized. Well, Dahlia had lost her memories after all. Natasha couldnât be so petty as to make things difficult for someone whoâd lost her memories, could she?
âYouâre weird.â Dahlia frowned. Though she did not know Natasha, she had an unpleasant feeling about her.
She looked past Natasha and at Dustin. âHang on ⦠You look quite familiar. Have I seen you somewhere?â
âHmm?â Natasha was immediately on guard when she heard that.
Didnât Dustin say that sheâd lost her memories? Could she have remembered him?
Was she deceiving them?
âYou remember me?â Dustin was surprised.
âOh, I remember now. You were the insurance agent.â Dahlia immediately recalled where she had
met him after giving it some thought.
This man had gone to the hospital to promote his insurance packages. But Florence had driven
him away back then.
âYes, insurance agent. Thatâs right.â Dustin nodded.
It seemed like she didnât remember the past anymore. But that was good. They could now live
their own lives.
âHmph! And I thought he was someone powerful! Turns out heâs just an insurance agent!â
âHow dare a social underclass like him slap Ms. Forrest! He just dug his own grave!â
âI have a net worth in the billions, yet I dare not act haughty here. How dare an insurance agent
behave so arrogantly? Unbelievable!â
An uproar broke out among the onlookers when they heard about Dustinâs status.
Sean, Mrs. Lansky, Mrs. Prewitt, and the rest looked at him in contempt. They looked at him as if
he was a fool.
They were wary before, thinking that Dustin may have an influential background. How else would he dare to slap Ms. Forrest?
But at the end of the day, he was just pretending to be all that.
âMs. Dahlia, are you on close terms with this insurance agent?â Elena asked.
âIâve only met him once. Weâre not close.â Dahlia shook her head.
âThatâs good to know.â Elena discreetly let out a sigh of relief.
She looked at Dustin with malice.
If Dahlia had said she was close with Dustin, she might have to hold back. But since they werenât, she would get back at Dustin.
âI advise you to apologize to Ms. Forrest immediately. You might escape this mess if you do,â
Dahlia said.
âApologize? She does not deserve an apology,â Dustin responded calmly.
âWhat?â Dahlia frowned.
âThat was a friendly warning. Ms. Forrest has a solid background.
âShe isnât someone you can afford to offend. Thereâs no point ruining your life for the sake of ego.
Itâs not worth it.â
The elite circles in Oakvale were considered unreachable to ordinary people. They would only
meet a terrible end if they happened to offend any of the scions of influential families.
âThanks for your advice, but I donât care about them.â Dustin shrugged indifferently.
âHave I not made myself clear? Your life is in danger now that youâve offended Ms. Forrest!â Dahlia
said frostily.
Why was this man so tactless?
