An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1155
Dustin found it amusing how arrogant Florence was behaving. From her actions and attire, Dustin guessed that she must have met a benefactor who had brought her entire family to immense riches.
Not only were they rich now, but they also possessed power and status. She was already rude and haughty before they were rich and powerful. Now that they were, she went from bad to worse. But Dustin wasnât surprised. that sheâd act this way.
âHey! Iâm talking to you! Do you hear me? Name your price! Iâm really busy and donât have time for your games!â
Florence held a gold card between her fingers, looking every part a wealthy woman. âIâm afraid you wonât be able to afford. the price I have in mind.â Dustin shook his head.
âWe canât afford it?â Florence broke out in cackles as she shot Dustin a ridiculous look. âHey Rhys! You really look down on us, donât you? Do you know our status now? Do you know how loaded we are?
âSee this gold card here? The amount I have in here is enough to shock you out of your wits!â
âThatâs right! Weâre no longer who we used to be before! You can only wish that youâll be able to attain our status today!â Julie lifted her chin proudly.
To them, Dustin was nothing more than a man who relied on women. He was only acting all high and mighty because he had Natasha backing him up. But now, they had Sir Mosey supporting them. Even Natasha was nothing compared to him.
She was just the heiress of a slightly wealthy family. How could she compare to Sir Mosey? The difference between them was like night and day!
âAlright, alright. Enough of your nonsense. My patience is wearing thin. Letâs get on with it,â Florence urged.
âWell, since youâre so rich, I wonât hold back. I will accept to swap rooms with you if you give me this amount.â Dustin raised his index finger.
âTen thousand?â Florence huffed in disdain. âWhat a loser with such low standards. No wonder you can only mooch off women.â
âWhat can I say, Dustin? Youâve missed your chance at making a fortune.â Julie looked at Dustin like he was a dimwit.
âThere! Ten thousand for you. Now get lost!â
Florence gestured to one of her guards to bring her a wad of cash. Then, she threw it at Dustinâs feet like he was a charity case.
âDo I look like a beggar?â Dustin sniggered. âWhat? Is that not enough?â Florence raised an eyebrow. âYou canât be asking for a million, can you? Do you think youâre worth that much?â
âAre you kidding me? A million? Iâm asking for ten billion!â Dustinâs response was shocking. âWhat? Ten billion?â Everyone was startled by Dustinâs demand.
What was he thinking? Ten billion? Did he think that they were cash cows?
It was true that they were rich. But they werenât so rich to spend ten billion just to use the Celestial Room! Only an idiot would do something like that!
âYou heard right. Ten billion. Iâll leave as soon as you pay up.â Dustin smiled ever so faintly. Didnât they enjoy flaunting their wealth? Today was the day heâd give them the opportunity to show off just how rich they were.
âAre you out of your mind, Rhys? How dare you demand such a ridiculous amount? Look in the mirror to see if youâre worth that amount!â Florence was exasperated.
âYou must have lost your marbles! Youâre not worth ten billion!â Julie yelled.
âExactly! You should thank your lucky stars that weâre willing to give you ten thousand! How dare you ask for ten billion?â Victoria shouted as well.
âYouâre asking for ten billion just to swap rooms? Youâre better off robbing a bank!â Sue exclaimed indignantly.
The rascal was too much! It was one thing to ask for tens of thousands. But ten billion? Did he think that they were easy marks?
âWell, that wouldnât be quite as fast as extorting you, would it?â
Dustin continued seriously, âBesides, you were the ones who requested for me to name my price. But now that Iâve named my price, you canât afford it? Whoâs to blame for that?â
