Chapter 474
“That’s strange. Why are they headed our way? They look like they’re up to no good. They’re not here to give us
trouble, are they?” Florence fidgeted anxiously in her seat.
“They’re here for me.” Dustin piped up.
“You? Have you offended someone again?” Dahlia frowned. She noticed that Dustin ran into quite a lot of trouble
these days.
“I wouldn’t exactly say I offended him, per se. I simply beat him up to teach him a lesson on how to behave,” Dustin
said calmly.
*This is not Swinton. There are influential people all around. There are some people that we simply cannot afford to
cross!” Dahlia whispered. Though she was now chairwoman of Cardinal Group, the handover had yet to be

was to make more connections, keep a low profile, and stay out of trouble.
“Don’t you worry. Miss Dahlia. I’m here. I’ll make sure that nobody kicks up a fuss here.” Terrence shot her a
confident smile, trying to portray the image of a savior. He’d never pass up the opportunity to flex his muscles in
front of such a beautiful lady. Every man wanted to play the part of a hero saving the damsel in distress.
“Dahlia, Terrence has some very powerful people backing him up. With the connections he has, these rascals don’t
stand a chance,” Julie said proudly as she hooked an arm around Terrence’s.
“Is that so? Then I’ll have to thank Terrence in advance.” Dahlia managed to force a smile on her face.
“Don’t mention it. It’s no big deal,” Terrence said with a wave of his hand as he beamed joyfully, thinking it’d
be effortless to deal with these thugs.
“You scoundrel! I’ve been searching high and low for you for the past two days! You can’t run away now!” Duncan
advanced with a threatening smile on his face. His malicious gaze was fixed on Dustin.
“Why were you searching for me? Have you finally realized that you were wrong and were looking for me to
apologize?” A hint of a smile tugged on Dustin’s lips.
“Apologize, my foot!” Duncan’s face fell as he roared. “Two days ago, you humiliated me and gave me three
slaps across the face. I swear I’ll chop your hands off today, you asshole!”
“Excuse me, sir, Please calm down. If Dustin has hurt you in any way at all, I’ll pay you for the damages he’s
done.” Dahlia stood to alleviate the tension.
Surprised that someone would stand up for Dustin, Duncan gave Dahlia a good look before his eyes lit up.
“Gorgeous! This lady is gorgeous Indeed!” he thought.
He’d set eyes on many beautiful ladies before, but this was something else. She was truly a rare beauty!
“Hey loser, is this your girlfriend? She’s quite hot.” Duncan stroked his chin as he leered at Dahlia with a smirk. ‘I’ll

pulled last time. How’s that?”

“You insolent bastard!” Before Dustin could say anything, Terrence slammed his list on the table and stood up.
“Which sect do you belong to? Don’t you know that men’s disagreements should be settled between men? So keep
the lady out of your dirty business!”
“And who are you to run your mouth here, you cad?” Duncan squinted at him.
“Hmph! I am Terrence Stone, manager of Brooks Corporation! If you know what’s good for you, you better scram,
or I’ll make you regret the day you were born!” Terrence said with his hands behind his back, going for a look of
superiority. Brooks Corporation was a giant in the Millsburg business industry and had enormous influence over the
market, so Terrence was used to people backing off the moment he told them that he worked for Brocks
Corporation. It worked like a charm.
“Manager of Brooks Corporation?” Duncan’s expression darkened when he heard that, and within a split second, he
went up to Terrence and gave him a hard slap across the face. “Fuck you! How dare a measly manager behave so
pompously? Do you have a death wish?
