“You have just about as much chance of winning her over as I have with Natasha,” Gordon told him bluntly. Kate was as beautiful as Natasha, so it would not be easy to court her.
Zeke laughed. He said excitedly, “Then we’ll both have to work harder!”
“The Harmon family has such perfect genes! Every one of them looks gorgeous. If I marry Dylan, I’m sure we’ll have such beautiful babies!” Zoey exclaimed giddily. Her words left the rest of them speechless. She had not even so much as spoken a word with him, and she was already thinking about having his babies?
“Hey! It looks like they’re coming our way! Could he have noticed my beauty so soon? Oh no! Is my makeup in perfect condition?” Zoey was overjoyed to see Dylan walking in their direction and immediately whipped out her compact mirror to touch up her makeup. Gordon and Zeke swiftly sucked in their stomach and puffed up their chests, trying to look like distinguished gentlemen. “Dylan, that guy in white is Dustin Rhys, Natasha’s good–for–nothing boyfriend. Had it not been for him, our family would not be in such trouble. Besides, my brother Quentin’s death was also because of him!” Kate caught sight of Dustin sipping on his tea the moment she came in through the door. A cold glint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
“Why is Natasha still hanging around such a pain in the neck? Has she been blinded by him?” Dylan was annoyed by his presence.
“It’s too bad I’m a woman, or I’ll make sure to teach him a good lesson!” Kate egged on.
“Leave the dirty job to me, Kate. I’ll make sure he learns a lesson he’ll never forget!” A wicked smile spread across Dylan’s face as he took a glass of wine from a nearby waiter and discreetly added some unknown powder to it.
“What did you put in the wine, Dylan?” Kate was quick to notice Dylan’s actions as she stood right beside him.
“Nothing much, just a potent laxative.” Dylan smirked. “As soon as he drinks this, he will lose control over his bowels and shit himself within minutes. I like to see if he’ll still have the balls to stick around the Harmon family after that.”
“You have such a brilliant idea!” Kate’s eyes sparkled. Dustin wouldn’t be able to face anyone after wetting and soiling himself in front of an audience. What Dylan was about to pull would absolutely crush Dustin!
“Just wait and see, Kate. I’ll get you your revenge.” Dylan winked at her before approaching Dustin with his men.
“He’s coming, he’s coming! He’s really coming our way!” Zoey was so excited she was on the verge of losing her composure when she saw Dylan approaching. Without waiting any longer, she stood up to greet him. “Mr. Harmon …” The rest of her sentence was left stuck in her throat as Dylan walked past her without sparing her a glance and stopped in front of Dustin.
“What?” They were all left frozen in place awkwardly, as they had all assumed that Dylan was heading toward them, when in fact, he had been heading toward Dustin.
“You’re Dustin Rhys?” Dylan looked down his nose at Dustin arrogantly. “I’ve heard that you’re quite close with my cousin, Natasha, and that you’ve helped her out of some tough situations. As a token of my appreciation, I’d like to share a drink with you.”
With that, Dylan handed him the glass of wine he was holding. That left Zoey and the rest of them gaping in awe. It was beyond their expectation that someone like Dylan, who held a high military position and had a promising future, would offer Dustin a drink. Who was Dustin to deserve such a show of respect?
As Zoey, Gordon, and the rest looked on with envy, Dustin glanced at the glass of wine and spat icily, “I’m not drinking that. Get lost.” A deathly silence fell over the crowd.
