Chapter 209 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âAâAIDS?â Chloe was frozen in place, at a loss. She was truly shocked. Not only because Dustin hit the nail on the head for all the symptoms she was experiencing, but mainly because she had gotten a new boy toy a while back.
When they were intimate, they hadnât used protection. Now, hearing his words, she couldnât help but panic a little.
âDustin, are you sure?â Natasha also looked surprised. AIDS was not a trivial matter. Could it be that this was Roderickâs secret illness?
âAlthough I canât be a hundred percent sure, Iâm sure Iâm not too far off,â Dustin replied.
âYou. Youâre bullshitting me!â Chloe shrieked. âI just had a medical checkup at the hospital this morning.
How can I have AIDS? Stop trying to scare me!
âItâs up to you whether you want to believe me.â Dustin shrugged his shoulders.
âBastard, youâre scaremongering and humiliating me in public. Iâve got to teach you a lesson! Wally, beat him up!â Chloe flew into a rage and ordered the young bodyguard standing behind her to hit Dustin.
However, the bodyguard named Wally was rooted to the floor, his face pale. Cold sweat dripped down his face.
âWally, what are you still standing there for? Do something!â Chloe shouted.
âWhatâs going on?!â
At that moment, a tan, obese middleâaged man suddenly walked in.
Two burly bodyguards trailed behind him.
âHuh Isnât that Big Bucks Brooks of Millsburg? What is he doing here?â
âThat seems to be his wife, Chloe Marshall. A good show is about to go down!â
âBig Bucks Brooks is known for spoiling his wife. It seems like that punk is going to get it today!â
The restaurant broke into a heated discussion when the middleâaged man appeared.
âHoney, youâre finally here!â The moment Chloe saw him, she immediately ran into his arms and started to sob. âThat guy kept bullying me earlier. You have to help me!â
âWhoâs the ballsy asshole brave enough to bully my wille?!â Roderickâs eyes turned fiery with anger.
Even though he knew his wife could be rather unruly, he still chose to dote on her unconditionally.
Chapter 209
Itâs that gigolo next to Natasha!â Chloe turned around to point at Dustin.
âHm?â Roderick narrowed his eyes, displeased, âMs. Harmon, is that man your friend?â
âThis is Dustin, my boyfriend.â Natasha threw out straightforwardly.
These words shocked Roderick.
Wasnât Natashaâs man Tyler?
How come thereâs another one now?
And judging from her expression, it didnât seem like she was joking.
âHoney, not only did that gigolo call me a shrew, but he also humiliated me and said that I have a disease. If you donât stand up for me, I will be too ashamed to leave the house ever again!â Chloe put on a pitiful look.
As she spoke, tears spilled from her eyes.
It was like she was now a completely different person than her unruly self earlier.
She was a drama queen, plain and simple.
âOkay, calm down. I will definitely get justice for you.â After comforting his wife, he turned back to Natasha.
Ms. Harmon, I need an explanation.â
âWhat explanation? Your wife was the one spitting ugly words first. Dustin was just having a normal
conversation with her,â Natasha responded indifferently.
Even though Roderickâs family was filthy rich, she wasnât scared of it. If they could talk it out, then they would.
If they couldnât, then sheâd let things get ugly. It was no big deal.
âYouâre talking nonsense! Itâs obvious that youâre the ones ganging up to bully me!â Chloe shouted.
âYou have to speak from your conscience. I was just kindly letting you know that youâre sick,â Dustin said in a
serious manner.
âSee, honey! You heard it, right? He said Iâm sick! Heâs clearly insulting me!â Chloe was furious.
âIâm only speaking the truth when I say youâre sick. How is that insulting you?â Dustin asked back.
âPunk, youâre pretty arrogant, huh? Then I must askâwhat disease does my wife have?â Roderick narrowed his
eyes, his expression was livid.
âAIDS.â Dustin uttered casually.
âBullshit!â Roderickâs face darkened. âIâve always been clean, and Iâve never fooled around with anyone else. How could I possibly have contracted AIDS?â
âI know you havenât, but your wile has,â Dustin said.
âWhat do you mean?â Roderickâs gaze was steely.
âItâs simple. Your wife is having an affair,â Dustin uttered those shocking words.
The entire room broke out into pandemonium.

Chapter 209
All of them pointed at Dustin as if they were looking at an idiot.
Heâd just told Big Bucks Brooks to his face that his wife was having an affair. Wasnât this just asking for death?
Everyone knew that Big Bucks Brooks was known for covering up his wifeâs mistakes.
âPunk, do you know what you are saying?â Roderick gritted his teeth, his eyes ferocious.
If it wasnât for Natasha, he would have shot this man in front of him already.
âOf course I know what Iâm saying.â Dustin said, his expression remaining unchanging. âMr. Brooks, your wife just hired that bodyguard, Wally, a few months ago, right?â
âSo what? Roderick frowned.
âBased on my observation, his symptoms are much more severe than your wifeâs. Hence, my guess is that he was the one who gave your wife AIDS,â Dustin said.
Hearing these words, Chloe and the young bodyguard could not help but tremble in fear.
Panic flickered across their faces.
Roderick also caught this strange reaction.
âYou
Thatâs bullshit! By the time she returned to her senses, Chloeâs shame had transformed into rage.â You dog, youâre smearing my innocence! Iâm going to beat you into a bloody pulp today!â
With that, she got ready to pounce on him and attack him.
At that moment, Roderickâs cell phone suddenly vibrated.
A message arrived.
It was the result of the medical checkup this morning.
Roderick perused it, and his face instantly turned stormy.
Veins popped on his forehead.
âHoney, whatâs wrong?â Chloe was feeling a little uneasy.
Suddenly, a sharp slap rang out.
Roderick, who was known for being overbearingly protective of his wife, slapped Chloe with so much force that she staggered backward.
The blow caused her to bleed from her nose and mouth, and her cheeks began to swell.
The entire room was shocked!
