Chapter 924 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âIâve been here for a while now But Iâve been quite busy and havenât had the chance to visit General Murray.â
Dustin smiled and changed the subject, âBy the way, how are you recovering? Do you still feel unwell?â Polarfrost was an extremely rare disease. It was hard to get rid of it entirely.
His method of using a fiery beetle to suppress it could only ensure Sheilaâs safety for the next ten years
After ten years, unless she found a rare treasure to save her, she would die.
âIâm doing great! Iâve been eating well too.â Sheila smiled.
âOf course, itâs all thanks to you. I would have been long gone if it wasnât for you.â
âNo need to mention it. Solving peopleâs problems and getting paid is what Iâm supposed to do,â Dustin replied with a smile.
âSheila, whoâs this? Why donât you introduce him to us?â a woman in red beside Sheila asked.
âAh, I almost forgot.â Sheila was quick to catch on.
âVivian, this is Dustin. The one Iâve talked about. Heâs the one who cured me of my strange illness!
As she spoke, her head was tilted up slightly. She looked slightly proud.
âOh⦠So youâre that guy Sheila often talks about?â Vivian gave him a onceâover. She looked at him
with a slight disdain.
Dustin wasnât badâlooking, but he dressed like a country bumpkin. Both of them were clearly fron
different worlds.
She didnât understand how an ordinary guy like Dustin won Sheilaâs heart.
Was it because he was goodâlooking? She had a bland taste if that were the case.
âDustin, have you eaten? Do you want to join us?â Sheila asked first.
âOh, I just ate,â Dustin replied.
âHuh?â Sheilaâs smile stiffened.
She found another excuse. âIf you donât want to eat, why donât you sit down and have something drink? It just so happens that I need your advice about medical stuff.â
She looked at him expectantly, eagerly awaiting his response.
âAlright then.â Dustin hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Sheila was too innocent. He was afraid of making her cry if he rejected her again.
âThatâs great! Dustin, please come this way!â
Sheila lit up instantly and pulled him by the arm.

The one seated in the middle was a wellâdressed man with a dignified appearance Though he looked no older than thirty, he had deep, profound eyes.
Radiating a commanding aura, he carried a natural tegal presence. He stood out just by sitting there, like a main character from a story
âSheila, whoâs this next to you? How come Iâve never seen him before?â
The wellâdressed man stood up and scrutinized Dustin His gaze carried a hint of hostility
The intimacy between Sheila and Dustin bothered him.
âEvan, this is Dustin Rhys. He has remarkable medical skills. Itâs thanks to him that Iâve recovered
from my illness.â
Sheila wasted no time with the introductions.
âIs that so?â Evan narrowed his eyes and put on a fake smile.
âWell, since heâs your friend, please have a seat.â
âDustin, please, sit.â Sheila pulled out a chair for Dustin and positioned it behind him.
Many around them frowned at her behavior. When had the distinguished young lady of the
Murray family ever shown such humility?
Wasnât that guy just a doctor?
In normal circumstances, he wouldnât even be worthy of their attention. They all came from. privileged backgrounds, after all.
They were either wealthy children of prestigious families or highâranking officials. None of them were ordinary citizens.
How could a mere doctor find himself in their exclusive circle?
âDoctor Rhys, was it? May I ask about your alma mater? Harvard or Yale?â
