Chapter 471


    “I guess you can say that I have quite an influence here in Millsburg, so if any of you ever run into any p


    roblems here, you cane to me,” Terrence said as he


    handed out his name card. As he spoke, he shot Dahlia one too many nces. A hint of lust shed in


    his eyes. Dahlia was, after all, a bombshell. Not only did she have a perfect figure, but her


    face was also exquisite. She was unlike any other woman he’d seen before and definitely in a much diff


    erent leaguepared to Julie.


    “Very impressive, Mr. Stone! Here, take a seat, everyone.” As Florence gestured for them to take their s


    eats, she called out to the waitstaff, “Excuse me, we’re ready for our meal now!”


    “Hang on,” Dahlia piped up. “We’re missing one person.”


    “Oh? Who else are we expecting?” Florence looked around them, puzzled.


    Just as Dahlia was about to speak, Dustin gracefully made his way in through the doors. “Over here!” D


    ahlia stood up and beckoned for Dustin to join them. Herpany turned around to see who it


    was and collectively


    frowned.


    “Why is he here?” Florence was obviously displeased. Because of her prejudice toward him, she still he


    ld him


    in disdain.


    “Sorry to keep you all waiting.” Dustin went up to them and smiled politely.


    “We weren’t waiting for you!” Florence said curtly. “You sure are a pesky one, Rhys! We’ve just arrived i


    n Millsburg, and you’ve followed us here? You haven’t been tailing us, have you?”


    “I think you’re mistaken. I’ve been in Millsburg for the past few days.” Dustin said calmly.


    “Hah! Who knows if you knew that we’d being here beforehand?” Florence pursed her lips. Her da


    ughter was now the chairwoman of Cardinal Group, and she’d had a huge leap in status. Dustin was no


    where good


    enough for her anymore.


    “Don’t say that, Mom. I was the one who invited Dustin for lunch,” Dahlia exined.


    “Fine, whatever. Since you’re already here, you can join us.” Florence couldn’t be bothered to argue wit


    h him.


    “Have a seat,” Dahlia patted the seat beside her, indicating Dustin to sit beside her.


    Her caring and attentive gesture, however, seemed to have caught Terrence’s attention. A cold glint ros


    e in his eyes. “Damn it! Why would such a gorgeous and thoughtful woman be attracted to such a douc


    hebag?” He thought to himself.


    “Buddy, you don’t sound like you’re local. Mind sharing where you’re working?” Terrence smiled insinc


    erely.


    “Where he’s working? Hah! He’s just a grubby old medical practitioner with no formal qualifications,” Fl


    orence scorned. From how she saw things, Dustin’s sess today was all thanks to Natasha. Simply


    put, he was


    nothing more than a toy boy.


    “You practice medicine without qualifications?” Terrence was briefly stunned before he burst outughin


    g.” That’s a rare one. You’d barely be able to sustain yourself with such a job, would you? Things must


    be hard for you.” He was tantly poking fun and regarded Dustin with a dismissive attitude.


    “You’re right. It is tough. I barely get any patients. I’d call it a good month if I even get five patientsi


    ng in.” Dustin said, unbothered by Terrence’sments.


    “Hah! Then why are you still practicing it?” Terrence adjusted his tie and said pompously. “I say, why do


    n’t you work for me? It just so happens that I’m in need of a chauffeur. If you can drive, why don’t you b

    e the offer, but I’m not interested.” Dustin shook his head.
