An Understated Dominance

“That night, I was too impulsive and unintentionally hit you. I should apologize.” Dahlia bit her lip.

Changing the topic, she continued, “Nonetheless, everything I do is for your own good. Mr. Killian comes from a prominent background. If you hit him, you’d only cause trouble for yourself.”

“Gavin does have some status, but that doesn’t mean I fear him,” Dustin said indifferently.

“Dustin, Mr. Killian isn’t as ordinary as you think. You can’t afford to offend someone as important as him!” Dahlia warned.

Gavin was a successful young man from an influential family. He also has a high rank and even commanded a massive troop.

With just one order, he could command the entire troop to go against someone.

To offend someone like that was equivalent to digging one’s own grave.

“You can think whatever you want. If you think I can’t afford to offend him, then so be it.” Dustin didn’t want to explain himself.

He knew that no matter what he said, Dahlia wouldn’t believe him.

“What? You’re still mad at me?” Dahlia frowned.

“Why would I be? You have no ties to me. There’s no need to get mad,” Dustin said expressionlessly.
