Chapter 457 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âWhy donât you trouble yourself? I donât care, but nobody touches Dustin today!â Natasha didnât give in at all.
In her eyes, no one was more important than her man. Even if he was guilty, she would still defend him till the end, much less when he was being wronged right then.
âNonsense!â Jacobâs temper flared, and he shouted, âHow can a junior like you meddle with such an important family matter? Someone take Miss Harmon back to her room!â
âYes, sir!â Mrs. Davys and the others dared not show any hesitation. They half dragged, and half persuaded Natasha out of the banquet hall.
Witnessing this scene, Dustin frowned. He had wanted to take action a few times already, but he had controlled himself. The Harmon familyâs ways already ignited his anger.
âNo oneâs going to help you now, Rhys.â Quentin took two steps forward and gave a low laugh. âI already
asked you to leave earlier, but you just didnât want to listen to me. Look where itâs gotten you now. You regret
it, donât you?â
âIâm not the person who poisoned you,â Dustin tried to explain.
âIs that important? If I say that itâs you, then itâs you!â Quentin laughed coldly.
âSo youâre condemning me on purpose?â Dustin asked with a frown. Being suspected was one thing, but being
condemned was another.
âSo what if I am?â Quentin had on an amused expression. âEveryone needs an explanation anyway, and making you the culprit will please everybody! Whatâs the matter? You feel very wronged, donât you? Very dissatisfied? But what can you do? In this world, power comes above everything else. A pariah from the lowest rungs of society like you deserves to be a scapegoat! Just accept your fate!â With that, he turned around and bellowed, âLock him up and torture him till he owns up! If he dares to retaliate, then kill him at once!â
âYes, sir!â Hearing his command, the Harmon familyâs guards acted immediately.
âGet lost!â Dustin rocked his body, and a potent wave of energy sent countless guards flying.
âHow dare you still resist? This just shows that you definitely have something to be guilty of! Guards, heed my command! Kill the culprit immediately!â Quentin laughed wickedly and gave the kill order. At once, a wave of elite guards surged into the banquet hall from all directions.
âDo you really want to take things to the extreme?â Dustin asked icily.
âHumph, anyone would kill a traitor like you! Kill him!â Quentin said pompously. The moment he said that, a figure flashed before him. Dustinâs arm shot out suddenly, and he gripped Quentin by the neck, lifting him into the air with just one hand. He looked like he was holding a dying fish.
âHow dare you!â
âThis is preposterous!â
Seeing what was happening, the Harmon family members all shouted in shock. Nobody thought Dustin would still dare to attack while he was already being surrounded.

âYou imbecile! Let go of my son now!â Hector shouted furiously. However, he dared not act rashly for fear that Quentin would get hurt.
âHe is undoubtedly the culprit! We must not let him go!â The crowd went into a furious uproar when they saw Dustin attacking someone.
âHahahaâ Hey, kid! Youâve pissed everyone off. Nobody can save you now!â Quentin laughed mirthlessly and said confidently. âIf you have common sense, let me go at once. I could still spare your life. But if you dare touch a hair on my head, I can promise Iâll make you die a painful death!â
âReally?â Dustin snorted and tightened his grip aggressively. With a loud snap, Quentinâs head lolled sideways. He died on the spot before he knew it!
