An Understated Dominance
âWhyâd you bring him here for, Natasha?â Jessica frowned as she probed.
Natasha replied calmly. âThis is my turf, I can bring over whoever I like. Anyways, Iâve already found a good fit for the position of chief physician, and itâs Mr. Dustin!â
âWhat?!â Everyone exclaimed in shock when she announced that.
âYouâve got to be kidding me, Natasha! Is he even qualified to serve as chief physician for the Harmons?â
Jessica voiced her displeasure.
âDustinâs medical skills are top of the line, and he knows the ins and outs of medicine. I believe he wonât face any problems while serving as chief!â Natasha assured Jessica.
âWâwhat kind of nonsense are you talking about?!â Jessica hollered, obviously agitated by her response.
Ruth interrupted and clamored to her feet to deâescalate the situation. âCalm down, thereâs no need to make a
fuss. Letâs just sit down and talk it out. Dustin, let me introduce you to everyone. This is my mom, I believe youâve met her before. And this man here is my cousin, Quentin Harmon.â
âA pleasure to meet the both of you,â Dustin responded politely with a few nods, with no hint of being
condescending at all.
âSo youâre the pretty boy who keeps clinging on to Natasha like a leech?â Quentin sneered after looking Dustin
up and down. His gaze was full of disdain toward him. It was as if he was looking at ants crawling beneath his
feet.
Quentinâs hollerâthanâthou attitude caused Dustin to raise an eyebrow, but he quickly returned to his normal
resting face.
âDidnât I ask a question? Why arenât you saying anything?â Quentin taunted and lifted his chin as if to
Intimidate Dustin.
âIâm afraid I didnât quite catch that, Mr. Harmon,â Dustin replied in the calmest manner he could muster.
âYou sure you didnât catch that, or are you trying to play dumb with me right now?â Quentin egged him on
before letting out a sharp sigh. âFine, Iâll reword my question then. Did you kill Tilda Snider?â
âI did, but-â Before Dustin could explain himself, he was interrupted by Quentinâs booming voice, âGreat! Since youâve already admitted to the crime, that makes my job a whole lot easier now. Iâll see to it that Tilda, one of
the pillars in the Harmon household, doesnât die in vain!â he proclaimed.
Immediately after that, he brought out an urn and slammed it on the table. âNow, I want you to look at her ashes and bow your fucking head down as an apology to her!â
âWhat?â Dustin frowned in confusion.
Quentin had shown his disdain before this, but now, it was obvious that he was planning to outright humiliate him in front of everyone.
âDo you have a few screws loose or something? Are you sure that the Tilda Snider youâre referring to is the

same one who betrayed the Harmons and also plotted to assassinate Ms. Harmon here? Are you saying that I shouldâve spared her?â Dustin questioned.
âWho are you to decide if she gets killed or not! Even if sheâs a traitor, she still belongs to the Harmons. Her mess should be ours to clean up, not yours! Shouldnât you choose your targets properly before disposing of them? Who are you to meddle in the Harmonsâ family business anyways?!â Quentin barked out.
Dustin merely let out an exasperated chuckle after hearing his bullshit speech.
Not only did he not receive any thanks for helping the Harmons dispose of their traitors, but now he was even about to get punished for it?
What an eyeâopening way to show oneâs gratitude!
âEnough talk. As long as you bow down to Tilda to make amends for my cousinâs sake, Iâll consider letting you
off the hook,â Quentin ordered in an overbearing manner.
After all, he was but a tiny ant to him, he could step on it as much as he wanted.
âWhat if I refuse?â Dustin shrugged indifferently.
âWhat if you refuse? Then Iâll make sure to break your fucking legs!â Quentin sneered.
âIâd like to see you try,â Dustin replied as he narrowed his eyes. He had a wicked glint in his eyes.
âTsk! Now youâre just asking for it!â Quentin exploded in rage and slammed his fists on the table and the sound of a teacup shattering beneath his feet could be heard.
âQuentin Harmon! If you dare so much as to touch even a single hair on Dustin, Iâll be the one to break your legs instead!â Natasha screamed in fury as she marched toward them.
