Chapter 1428 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Lanaâs lips curled into a sly smile.
âAmong the Eight Great Families, the Langfords, Dawsons, Killians, and Sawyers stand as equals. Meanwhile, the Welches, Swansons, Carmens, and Forrests closely trail behind.
âIf we secure an alliance with the Dawson family, itâll make dealing with the Swansons and Welches much easier.
Dustin nodded approvingly. âExcellent choice to go with the Dawsons. It seems youâve done your homework well. Have you already established contact with them?â
Lana cooed in a playful tone, her smile enchanting. âYouâre quite clever, Handsome. Youâve guessed right. Iâve identified a target within the Dawson family. Convincing him to cooperate wonât be a problem.â
Dustinâs curiosity got the better of him. âSo, whoâs this person?â
âHeâs the youngest son of the Dawson familyâs patriarch, Bo Dawson,â Lana revealed.
âBo Dawson?â Dustin raised an eyebrow. âA rather unique name, it?â isnât Lanaâs smile held a hint of mischief as she replied, âHandsome, donât underestimate him. Bo is the apple of his familyâs eye. Theyâve cherished him since the day he was born. Imagine the weight he carries within the Dawson family.â
Dustin grew even more curious. âSo, what makes Bo so extraordinary?â he asked.
Lana smiled and explained, âWell, you see, Boâs exceptional quality lies in the luck of his birth. The head of the Dawson family had over a dozen daughters before he had his only son, Bo, later in life.â
She continued, âAs the sole male heir of the Dawson family, from the day Bo was born, he was cherished beyond measure. He was held as delicately as porcelain. It was as if they were afraid he might slip through their fingers.
âHis grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, and those dozen or so sisters- all shower him with affection. Just picture how indispensable he is within the Dawson family.â
As Lana concluded her explanation, Dustin couldnât help but wear a bemused expression. Having over a dozen sisters but only one son was indeed not common, even among prestigious families.
There was no denying it-Bo was born with a golden spoon. He didnât need to compete or scheme.
Right from birth, he became the heir of the prestigious Dawson family, a person cherished by everyone. He had everything handed to him, making his status even more comfortable than being born into royalty.
Lana asked with a playful smile, âAre you satisfied with my choice?â
Dustin offered a thumbs-up. âThere couldnât be a more suitable option.â
He thought that once he successfully persuaded Bo, dealing with the Dawson family would become much more manageable.
Lana, however, remained cautious. â Donât get too excited just yet, Handsome. Bo has been pampered since childhood and has a rather unique personality. Heâs hard to predict, which makes me uncertain.â
Dustin was undeterred. He said, âEven so, we must give it a try. Catering to his preferences might lead to success.â
Lanaâs smile held a hidden meaning as she said, âIn that case, it will depend on your skills. Iâve already gathered information-Bo is expected at the Regal Court for breakfast today. Itâs about time. You better make a good impression.â
Dustin blinked in surprise. âIâm going?â
Lana raised an eyebrow. âOf course. Bo Dawson has unique tastes. Iâve heard heâs not interested in women but has a fondness for men. With your good looks and physique, a little sacrifice might just do the trick.â
Dustinâs eye twitched, and he almost let out a string of curses. Was Lana intentionally putting him in this situation?
âAlright⦠heâs here. Good luck.â
