Chapter 208 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
After hanging up, Dustin began to clean the medical center with Caitlyn.
Although she didnât let out a word of complaint, Dustin could tell that the death of her pet cat had taken a huge toll on her.
Her eyes were constantly red, and she was trying her hardest to cry without making a sound.
This young woman had had such a tough life that she lived so pitifully and carefully that she didnât even dare to cry.
She was such a good kid that it tugged at Dustinâs heartstrings.
The two of them worked together for a long time before the medical center was finally clean.
After a few moments, a silver Bentley pulled up at the entrance.
The door opened, and Natasha got out of the car, dressed in a red dress.
âMs. Harmon?â When Caitlyn spotted Natasha, she immediately greeted her.
âCome on, Caitlyn, Iâve told you many times that you donât need to be so formal with me. You can just treat me
as your sister.â Natasha smiled, patting Caitlynâs head.
âOkay.â Caitlyn nodded obediently, but it would take some time for her to act casually with Natasha.
âMs. Harmon, what can I do for you?â
Dustin walked over to Natasha from inside the medical center.
âCanât I come to see you without a reason?â Natasha raised her eyebrows.
âOf course not. You can come whenever you like, and Iâll always welcome you.â Dustin smiled.
âHehe⦠Thatâs more like it.â Natasha smiled gently. âCome on, letâs have lunch together today. Iâll introduce
you to a big shot.â
âA big shot? Who is it?â Dustin was curious.
âYouâll know if you come.â Then, Natasha called out, âCaitlyn, come, letâs go eat together.â
âI wonât go this time. I want to stay and take care of Mr. Jones.â Caitlyn shook her head.
âIn that case, thatâs fine. Iâll have Dustin bring some food back for you.â
o the car.
Natasha didnât force Caitlyn to tag along. Instead, she just tugged Dustin into
20 minutes later, the car pulled to a stop in front of the entrance to Aâroma.
Aâroma was a highâclass Stonian restaurant that was also one of the Harmon familyâs businesses,
Natasha would usually choose this place whenever she invited important guests for a meal.
The two of them walked up to the second floor and sat down at a table by the window.

Chapter 208
Through the window, they had an amazing view of the garden outside.
âMs. Harmon, I think you can tell me who weâre meeting now, right?â Dustin asked again.
âRoderick Brooks of Millsburg. Have you heard of him?â Natasha said, smiling lightly.
âRoderick Brooks? He sounds familiar.â Dustin gave it some thought.
âRoderick is the chairman of the Riversouth Bank and a renowned tycoon in Millsburg. Apparently, he controls oneâthird of the cash flow in Millsburg. Thatâs how he got his nickname. Big Bucks Brooks,â Natasha explained.
âOh, so itâs himâ¦â Dustin nodded. He was getting a rough idea of this person.
âItâs not known to others, but Big Bucks Brooks is actually suffering from an illness. Heâs seen many doctors. but none of them could cure him. I heard that youâre an excellent healer, so I invited you here to meet him. I think heâll be here soon,â Natasha explained.
As the two were talking, a female voice suddenly sounded from behind them. âWhy, isnât it Ms. Harmon?â
Turning her head, Natasha saw an elegant woman dressed up to the nines in an extravagant customâmade evening gown walking toward her, carrying a Hermes handbag.
âOh, itâs you, Mrs. Brooks. Whereâs Mr. Brooks?â Natasha glanced left and right.
âWhat, do you miss my Roderick that much? Ever since the last time you saw him, your heart is still set on him, huh?â Chloe Marshall said sarcastically.
She had never liked Natasha.
On the one hand, it was because they were business competitors.
On the other hand, it was because Natasha was an outstanding individual.
Not only was she born into a wealthy family, but she was also gorgeous, and her business was booming.
This made her very jealous.
Especially after she learned that Natasha had frequent contact with her husband, she felt even more
threatened.
Hence, she had to establish dominance!
âMrs. Brooks, you must have misunderstood me. Mr. Brooks and I only talk about business,â Natasha said
indifferently.
âOh, talking about business, are you? You want to talk about business in his bed, donât you?â Chloeâs smile
turned cold.
âMs. Harmon, itâs not a good habit to constantly be lusting after the next best thing. Youâre already keeping a gigolo, so why are you still thinking about my Roderick? Everyone says youâre as pure as the driven snow, but I donât think so. If I remember right, Ms. Harmon, youâre almost 28 years old, right? This gigolo looks to be in his
early twenties. In that case, arenât you a cougar?â
She deliberately raised her voice to draw the attention of the people around her, letting them hear her words.
She was trying to damage Natashaâs reputation.
Natasha merely frowned lightly in response.
If she didnât have a good relationship with Roderick, she would have gone up there and given her two tight. slaps.
âWhere did this witch come from? Are you sick in the head?â At that moment, Dustin couldnât stop himself from speaking up. âIf you are, then walk out the door, turn left, and go to the hospital to get your head checked. Donât bother those of us eating here.â
âYou gigolo, do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?!â Chloe whipped her head to glare at him furiously.
âDoes it matter who you are?â Dustin scanned her up and down. âYouâre dressed like a person, yet you bark like a dog. Whenever you open your mouth, shit comes out. Your mouth stinks. You should go and brush your teeth, not make us gag here!â
âYou
How dare you insult me?!â Chloe widened her eyes, shocked and enraged.
She was the wife of Big Bucks Brooks!
Everyone kissed the ground she walked on.
However, this gigolo had the guts to insult her to her face. He really had huge balls!
âSo what if I insult you? If you keep humiliating Natasha, Iâll slap you. Youâd better believe it!â At that moment. Dustin had a domineering expression.
Meanwhile, Natasha looked at the scene with a tender gaze, cupping her cheek with one hand. There was a blissful smile on her face.
âGigolo, I demand you get on your knees and apologize at once! Or else, there will be consequences!â Chloe was steaming out of her ears.
âGet on my knees and apologize? Are you worthy?â Dustin snickered.
âAlso, donât say I didnât warn you, but you really should head to the hospital for a checkâup. Youâre really sick!â
âYouâre the sick one! Your entire family is sick!â Chloe gritted her teeth..
âDonât believe me? Then let me ask you thisâhave you been experiencing headaches, fever, weakness in the limbs, occasional nausea, and difficulty breathing these days?â Dustin asked indifferently.
âYes, but so what? I just have a cold!â At first, Chloe was stunned, but she quickly stuck her nose in the air again.
âA cold? Heh⦠Youâre quite the optimistic person.â Dustin shook his head. âI can see that you have shortness of breath, the lymph nodes in your neck are swollen, you look lethargic, and you have a rash on your body. If my guess isnât wrong, then I think you have Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome.â
âThe what syndrome?â Chloe was dumbfounded. âAcquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, or AIDS for short.â
As soon as he said that, Chloe turned to stone.
