Chapter 336 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âIâm here to⦠steal the bride!â
Dustinâs every step resounded through the entire hall like a loud bell; his footsteps could be heard over the quiet hall.
The crowd had their eyes wide open, and their expressions were filled with shock. Nobody could have imagined that someone dared object to the union between the Langford family and the Nicholson family.
âOh my goodness! Who is this punk? He dares disrupt the wedding? Does he have a death wish?â
âYou have to give him credit for being so brave. He actually dared to provoke the two powerful families!â
âInteresting. This is definitely interesting. Seems like a good show is about to start!â
After a momentary silence, the crowd erupted in frenzied discussion, pointing and gossiping incessantly.
âDustin?â Staring at the familiar face, Dahliaâs expression revealed how happy she was. However, that happiness was quickly replaced with worry.
Although she was grateful and touched, she knew his actions would bring about a disaster. By disrupting the wedding, it meant that he was challenging both the Langfords and the Nicholsons.
âIs this punk insane? Heâs making a scene all by himself? Where did he get the courage?â Dakota was astonished and couldnât believe it.
âWhat an idiot!â Jane pursed her lips. It was as if she was looking at a dead man. She knew Luis had already made preparations, and stationed numerous security personnel around the hotel. Dustin had sent himself into the lionâs den by barging in here.
âInsolent bastard!â Luisâ expression turned cold. He felt the urge to kill rising within him. He couldnât believe Dustin really came to meet his demise!
âRhys! Iâm warning you to get your ass out of here! Otherwise, youâll bear the consequences!â Florence screamed in frustration. Her daughter was one step away from getting married into a wealthy family. She would make an enemy out of anyone who dared ruin her dreams.
âDahlia, Iâm here.â Dustin ignored all the criticisms and threats surrounding him and walked up the stage with deliberate steps. His determined gaze was fixed on the person in front of him. âWhat are you doing here? Go back immediately! Dahliaâs brows were furrowed, and she looked â anxious. She had noticed the number of bodyguards of the Langford family approaching the stage. Dustinâs expression was solemn. âI told you. I wonât let you get married to Luis. Iâm definitely taking you away today!â
âAre you crazy? This is not the place for you to act so recklessly! Just leave!â Dahlia made fervent gestures to urge him to leave.
In a serious tone, Dustin told her, âI know what youâre worried about, but please believe me. I promise there wonât be anything to worry about after this.â
âItâs no use⦠You donât know who youâre up against!â Dahlia shook her head vehemently.
She knew he could fight. She also knew he had the Harmon family backing him. But even the Harmon family was no match for the Langfords. Not to mention, the Langfords also had the Nicholsons behind them.
Dustin suddenly asked, âDahlia, in all these years, with everything that has happened, have I ever lied to you?â
âNo.â She shook her head firmly.
âSince Iâve never lied to you, please believe me once more.â Dustin extended his hand as an invitation.
Dahlia went silent; her heart was conflicted. She longed to leave with Dustin. Even if that meant eloping and wandering the entire world with him, she would do it gladly. However, there were far too many factors to consider.
âDahlia, you donât need to think about anything else. Leave everything to me. Just this once, let yourself be a little selfish,â Dustin said, full of sincerity.
Dahlia bit her lips. It seemed like she had come to a decision. She took a deep breath.
Alright! She would be selfish this one time!
She stopped thinking about the consequences and extended her hand with resolve, holding tight to Dustinâs hand. At that moment, Dustin formed a smile. So did she.
âDahlia Nicholson! Do you know what youâre doing?
Seeing them holding hands, Luisâ expression was laced with extreme fury. In front of such a large crowd, his fiancé regretted her decision and decided to elope with another man.
Nothing was more humiliating than that!
