Chapter 21 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
At noon, in the presidentâs office of the Quine Group. Dahlia was distracted while reading her documents. Her mind was completely occupied by Dustin.
She was worried that Trevor would track down Dustin. If that happened, Dustin would be doomed. âLyra!â Finally, Dahlia couldnât hold herself back after imagining all the possible scenarios.
âMs. Nicholson, how can I help you?â Lyra came in after knocking. âHelp me prepare some gifts. Iâm going to the Drey Group,â Dahlia said.
âThe Drey Group? Isnât that Sir Spannerâs place?â Lyra was shocked. âThatâs right. I want to talk to him.â Dahlia nodded.
âWhy do you want to talk to him? Is it about Dustin?â Lyra panicked. âMs. Nicholson, please calm down! Sir Spanner is still angry. Why would you visit him and poke the hornetâs nest?â
âNo matter what, I have to try!â Dahlia was adamant. âWait! We still have Mr. Nolan! He said he would help. Why donât we wait some more?â
Lyra advised Dahlia. âWeâve waited for one whole night, and thereâs still no news from him. I donât think heâll be able to help us. I have to do this myself.â Dahlia shook her head.
âMs. Nicholson, donât we have any better way? Why donât we think about it again?â Lyra was worried.
âDustin got into trouble because of me. I canât sit still and do nothing. Go do as I say.â
Dahlia waved her hand. Seeing the determination in Dahliaâs eyes, Lyra couldnât help sighing. Left with no choice, she had to obey Dahliaâs order. She knew that Dahlia wouldnât change her mind once she made up her mind.
30 minutes later, they arrived at Drey Group. âLyra, you can wait in the car. You donât have to go in with me.â Dahlia ordered.
âNo way. We must help each other out through thick and thin. How can I let you take all the risk by yourself?â Lyra was a loyal person.
âThis is dangerous. Just in case, I need you to wait outside. Call the police if I donât come out in half an hour, got it?â Dahlia looked serious.
âAlright! I will make sure to complete my task!â Lyra nodded vigorously. She knew that she had a great responsibility. It was entirely up to her whether Dahlia could return safely.
âIâll go in then.â Without saying much, Dahlia opened the door and entered the building. with
Unlike ordinary companies, the people in the Drey Group were all buff guys tattoos. One could tell that they werenât kind people. After Dahlia reported her identity, a bald guy led her to an office on the top floor.
In the office, the bearded Trevor sat calmly on a sofa with a cigar in his mouth. âAre you Ms. Nicholson from the Quine Group?â
Seeing Dahlia enter his office, Trevor narrowed his eyes. âAs expected, youâre gorgeous. No wonder my useless son would get into a fight with other people for you.â
âSir Spanner, may I ask how your son is doing?â âHeâs fine. He wonât die, but heâs crippled,â Trevor said faintly. âCrippled?â The look in Dahliaâs eyes wavered.
Although Trevor sounded calm, he couldnât hide the anger in his eyes. âSo, what do you plan to do about this?â Trevor crossed his legs on the table and sat comfortably.
âSir Spanner, Iâm the one who caused everything and am willing to take full responsibility for this. I hope you can be generous and let Dustin go,â Dahlia said solemnly.
âYou want to take responsibility? Are you sure you can do that?â Trevor grinned evilly.
âI will hire the best doctors to treat your son. Also, I will bear the corresponding compensation. Just tell me how much you need,â Dahlia continued.
âI donât need money.â
Suddenly, Trevor put a bottle of alcohol on the table. âIf you really want to negotiate with me, finish this bottle of alcohol first.â
âIâ¦â
Dahlia was put in a difficult position. She wasnât good at drinking. She didnât know if she could handle it after drinking the whole bottle.
âWhatâs wrong? You donât want to drink it? In that case, no deal.â Trevor waved his hand.
âIâll drink it!â
Dahlia hesitated for a few seconds. Eventually, she picked up the bottle. A bottle of alcohol was nothing compared to Dustinâs life. Hence, she took a deep breath, put the bottle in front of her mouth, and started gulping down the alcohol.
After finishing oneâthird of the alcohol, she began to cough violently, and her face turned red. Gritting her teeth, she ignored the discomfort and continued drinking. She began to feel dizzy when she finished twoâthirds of the bottle.
Panting slightly, she finished the whole bottle.
âSir Spanner, are you satisfied now?â Staggering, Dahlia grabbed the table.
âHaha, interesting.â Trevor smiled teasingly. âSince you seem sincere, Iâll give you another chance. Take off our clothes now.â
âWhat?â Dahlia frowned. âSir Spanner, what do you mean?â
âDonât you understand? I want you to take off your clothes and serve me. I will consider letting you go if you manage to satisfy me. To be completely honest, even though Iâve slept with many women, Iâve never done so with a woman as stunning as you.â Trevor smirked.
Dahliaâs face darkened as soon as she heard that. His son, Edward, was a greedy pervert. She never expected his father to be the same. Indeed, an apple didnât fall far from the tree!
âSir Spanner, I can promise you anything else except for this!â Dahlia begged desperately.
âExcept for this? Hahaâ¦â Trevor threatened evilly, âYou should know how powerful I am. You should be honored that Iâm willing to talk to you. If I donât want to talk to you, there will be no use, even if you strip yourself naked and kneel before me. You better think twice! Iâll go take a shower, you better have all your clothes removed when I come back. Otherwise, Iâm going to do it myself! By then, I wonât be alone, all my brothers outside will join me!â
Dahliaâs face turned pale when she heard that. She suddenly realized that she had thrown herself into the lionâs den.
