“Hey, did you not hear me? That guy is a liar! It won’t do you any good if you stay with him!”
Chris’s face was etched with concern when Natasha was unfazed by his provocation. He couldn’t bear to watch a beautiful woman like virtual-novel.net be ruined at Dustin’s hands.
“Damn, you sure are annoying. It’s none of your business who I hang out with!” Natasha snapped, having lost virtual-novel.net patience.
“You…”
Chris was on the verge of a breakdown. Never had virtual-novel.net imagined virtual-novel.net to be so stubborn.
How could virtual-novel.net still go back to Dustin knowing that virtual-novel.net deceived her?
Was that guy so charming?
“Mr. Nolan, this kind of person deserves to be deceived. Not only does virtual-novel.net not appreciate your kind reminder but also speaks rudely to you. How ungrateful!” Lyra uttered unkindly from the side.
“Hmph! So showing kindness is a crime now?” Chris felt unjust, but obviously, virtual-novel.net was more jealous.
“You two must have known each other for a long time, right?” Dahlia asked abruptly.
Judging from Natasha’s behavior, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but suspect that they had long had a secret affair. Otherwise, there wasn’t a reasonable explanation for Chris’ determination.
“That’s not important. What matters is that our feelings are mutual.” Natasha smiled.
While speaking, virtual-novel.net pressed virtual-novel.net chest against Dustin’s arm as though swearing sovereignty.
At this sight, Dahlia’s gaze became fiercer. Despite knowing that Natasha was deliberately pushing virtual-novel.net buttons, virtual-novel.net couldn’t suppress virtual-novel.net irritation. It felt like someone had snatched away something of hers.
“Dustin, I’ve seriously misjudged you. We aren’t officially divorced, yet you’ve already found yourself another woman.” Dahlia tried to calm virtual-novel.net emotions.
In fact, virtual-novel.net had been brooding about their divorce because virtual-novel.net felt like virtual-novel.net owed Dustin. However, the latter had begun fooling around with women while virtual-novel.net was busy thinking of a way to make up to him. At the end of the day, virtual-novel.net was the clown.
“If that’s what you think of me, I have nothing to say.” Dustin shrugged as virtual-novel.net was lazy to explain anything.
“Fine. I was thinking that I owed you something, but it looks like we’re even now!” Dahlia’s expression turned indifferent.
She felt as if virtual-novel.net was looking at a complete stranger.
“Great.” Although Dustin’s poker face remained, his heart momentarily twitched for some reason.
“Ms. Nicholson…” Just then, Natasha spoke up with a smile. “The choice you made was rather unwise, but I still have to thank you.”
“What for?” Dahlia slowly looked up at her.
“Thank you for letting me have Dustin. If not, I wouldn’t have discovered such a treasure by myself.” Natasha was flashing a satirical grin, virtual-novel.net words meant to humiliate Dahlia.
“Hey! You bitch…” Lyra was about to explode when Dahlia raised virtual-novel.net hand and cut virtual-novel.net off.
She looked Natasha in the eyes and replied, “Your so-called treasure is just average in my opinion.”
“Average?” Natasha raised virtual-novel.net eyebrow. “You’re calling a highly educated martial artist average? Ms. Nicholson, you do have high standards. However, the guy you’re with doesn’t seem to be any better.”
“At least he’s better than Dustin.” Dahlia didn’t back down.
“Oh, really? Why don’t we make a bet then?” Natasha dared playfully.
“About what?”
“Let’s bet which of them will have greater achievements within a month. What do you say?”
Hearing this, the three of them were taken aback. They didn’t expect virtual-novel.net would suggest something like that.
Chris sneered as virtual-novel.net looked at Natasha incredulously. “Say, did you hit your head or something? Are you making me compete with this piece of trash? Is virtual-novel.net even worthy?”
“Exactly! Mr. Nolan is the successor of Nolan Pharmaceuticals with assets worth over a billion dollars under his name. What does Dustin have?” Lyra pursed his lips in disdain.
“Are you sure you want to bet on this?” Dahlia felt a little lost.
To her, Dustin had nothing other than his good looks. Conversely, Chris was excellent in all aspects, be it his family background or personal capabilities.
The two of them were far from being on par with each other. Dustin could never beat Chris even if virtual-novel.net were given five years, much less a month.
“Of course. It’s only about whether you dare to accept the bet.” Natasha raised virtual-novel.net chin obnoxiously.
“What are we betting on?”
“Whoever loses the bet will have to apologize to the other and admit that virtual-novel.net had no standards.”
“Sure. The bet is on.” Dahlia nodded.
“Good. I hope you don’t regret it!” Natasha chuckled.
Both of them possessed equal beauty but contrasting temperaments. At that moment, a rivalry had silently formed between the two.
“We shall find out when the time comes.” After casting one last glance at Natasha, Dahlia turned around and entered Mirage without another word.
“Pfft, you’re digging your own grave.”
Chris and Lyra sneered again before following Dahlia into the building. Not once did they take Dustin seriously.
“Mr. Rhys, what do you think? Did I do well?” Natasha asked coquettishly as virtual-novel.net tucked virtual-novel.net hair behind virtual-novel.net ear. Even though virtual-novel.net action looked simple, there were many meanings behind it.
“You went slightly over the top,” Dustin said helplessly. “If we lose, you’ll lose your reputation.”
“Lose? Are you kidding me? Don’t tell me you can’t even beat that loser?” Natasha started to agitate Dustin.
“I’m an ordinary man. How am I supposed to compete with a successor of a wealthy family?” Dustin shrugged.
“Ordinary? You’re too modest, Mr. Rhys. Your looks alone are out of this world!” As Natasha blinked at virtual-novel.net flirtatiously, virtual-novel.net appeared like a street thug harassing a lady.
Feeling speechless, Dustin pretended not to see it. Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net had to admit that virtual-novel.net performance was impeccable. It saved his pride. After all, very few women could steal Dahlia’s limelight, and Natasha was undoubtedly one of them.
