Chapter 121 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âWhy are you here?â Dahlia was surprised to see Dustin. When she saw the pretty lady standing beside him, she couldnât help but frown. Her heart clenched in jealousy.
âWas Natasha not enough for him? He still wanted more women?â Dahlia wondered to herself.
âMen are all playboys after all!â She concluded in her mind.
âDustin, you guys know each other?â Ruth looked between the two of them, feeling a little awkward.
âWe do. Sheâs the president of Quine Group, Miss Dahlia.â Dustin explained.
âSo itâs her!â Ruthâs gaze immediately turned hostile.
This woman in front of her was her sisterâs greatest love rival. She certainly has to keep an eye on her. She must not let the two of them rekindle their love!
âHumph! How do we keep running into each other? How unlucky of us!â Florenceâs face was full of contempt.â
âDustin! How impressive! I canât believe you got another girl with you so soon! You really are a gigolo!â James mocked. At the same time, he was envious of him.
âDamn it! Iâm much more incredible and yet I still donât have a girlfriend. And yet, this piece of trash changes his girls every time I meet him. First, it was the queen of business, Natasha. Now he has this new pretty girl! The world is so unfair!â James thought to himself.
âOi! Was it the two of you making a ruckus?!â Julie scanned Dustin and Ruth, looking annoyed.
âIt was me.â
Ruth stepped forward and chirped, âBoss, This Lumianth Root is ours. Name a price.â
âHumph! Do you think itâs yours if you say so? Who do you think you are?â
Julie said in an unfriendly tone, âLet me tell you, I already paid five million dollars for this Lumianth Root!â
âPretty lady, we need this Luminianth Root urgently. I hope you can do us a favor.â Ruth asked kindly.
âWho are you to be asking me for a favor? Scram!â Julie was stubborn and ruthless.
âHm? Boss, she offered five million dollars, right? Iâll give you eight million dollars!â Ruth frowned and declared boldly.
âEight million dollars?!â
Everyone was shocked at the number. Especially the shop owner. His eyes were sparkling with excitement.
The other customers were also watching the scene, amused.
âHey! What are you doing? Youâre picking a fight on purpose, arenât you?!â Julieâs face darkened.
âThis precious treasure deserves such a high price. Do you have a problem with that?â Ruth was only doing what she thought was right.

âBitch! You want to play this game? Fine! Iâll pay ten million dollars!â Julie yelled.
Florenceâs face turned as pale as a ghost as she heard that.
Five million dollars was already her limit. Ten million dollars would cost more than her fortune.
Without hesitation, Ruth replied, âIâll pay 12 million dollars then.â
â15 million dollars! End this deal now! Boss! You know the first come first serve policy. This Luminianth Root
is already mine. If you dare to sell it to someone else, Iâll destroy this shop of yours!â Julie roared and snatched the wooden box before everyone could say a word.
âAlright, alright. Luminianth Root is yours!â The shop owner agreed reluctantly. But the truth was, he was extremely happy.
âBoss, why are you selling it to her? I can give you 12 million dollars!â Ruth was not pleased with the outcome.
âItâs not about the money. Business is about credibility. This lady ordered the Luminianth Root first, so it should be hers.â The shop owner played along with Julie.
âDid you hear that? So what if you have money? Whatâs mine is mine, you canât take it from me!âJulie smiled joyfully as if she had won a battle.
On the other hand, Florence who was standing behind Julie was devastated.
15 million dollars!
She was going to be broke!
