An Understated Dominance

Chapter 13

The hall where the event was held had become lively. On the stage, a group of dancers dressed in vintage clothing danced to classical music. Every facial expression and move was full of charm and grace, leaving a lingering impression in the audience’s mind.

Below the stage sat a crowd of well-dressed celebrities. While some clinked their glasses and chatted, others quietly enjoyed the performance. Dustin had found an empty seat and sat down, sipping on a glass of juice as he watched the show.

“Yo, Rhys! Didn’t think you would actually sneak in here!”

Suddenly, a discordant voice disrupted Dustin’s moment of peace. Glancing over at the source, Dusin spotted Chris and Dahlia together with the secretary.

“Hmph, what an unlucky day. Why are you everywhere?” Lyra huffed in annoyance.

Dahlia didn’t say a word. She threw a cold glance at Dustin and went to take a seat in the front row.

“Hey, the charity auction is starting soon. Can you even afford to participate? Why are you sitting here?” Chris jeered.

“Who says I can’t sit here because I can’t afford it?” retorted Dustin.

“That’s the rule! How can a sucker like you sit with us?” Chris said with a contemptuous look.

“Are you deaf? Get up now!” Lyra kicked the chair Dustin was sitting in.

“What happens if I don’t?” Dustin looked up at him.

“I’ll call the guards to kick you out!” threatened Lyra.

“Go ahead and try,” Dustin responded with an unbothered expression.
