An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 560

Chapter 560 

“That’s it?” 

Natasha was extremely displeased. Naturally, she wasn’t willing to swallow her anger when her man was being mistreated. 

“Natasha, let’s look at the big picture. Why don’t you sit down?” Hector gave her a look. Then, he led the others to sit at the tables allocated for the Harmons. The ten tables at the very front of the ballroom were designated for the core members of the Harmon family as well as the other bigwigs in the family. The regular guests were relegated to the back. 

“Darling, I’m sorry for the injustice. I’ll definitely find an opportunity for a payback!” Natasha said through gritted teeth. 

“It’s nothing but a petty issue. Don’t worry about me. Go and keep your father company.” Dustin smiled lightly. Her saying that was already good enough for him. 

“What, you don’t want to sit with me?” Natasha raised an eyebrow. 

“No, guests shouldn’t sit with the stars of the evening. I’ll just sit here. Not to mention, sitting too close to Dylan might invite trouble.” Dustin shook his head. 

The front seats drew too much attention; he didn’t like being noticed by so many people. 

“Alright.” Natasha didn’t push him further after he expressed his opinion. After greeting a few of her classmates, she returned to her seat. 

After she left, Gordon suddenly said out of the blue, “Dustin, if I were you, I’d apologize to Dylan right now. You can’t afford to get on the bad side of a golden child like him!” 

“Really? I guess…” Dustin couldn’t be bothered to entertain the nonsense and gave a half–assed reply. 

“Hmph! You’ll find out soon enough!” Gordon chuckled coldly and said nothing more. In his eyes, with that arrogant attitude, Dustin was bound to face consequences sooner or later. 

Time slowly ticked by, and more guests arrived to join the celebration. The entire ballroom was alive with chatter. 

“Hey, isn’t that Mr. Reynolds from the Goldmore Group? I heard he’s worth billions and is also the top player in the mining industry!” 

“Oh? Even the emerald tycoon, Mr. Dane is here?” 

“Look, I think that’s Mr. Gills from the Royal Pavilion, also known as the all–powerful lord of the underworld!” 

“As expected of the Harmons. I didn’t expect so many bigshots to show up. This is really impressive!” 

Seeing these local celebrities enter the ballroom, Zoey and the others were bubbling with excitement. They never got to see such an extravagant display in their everyday lives. Looking across the room, they were met with the presence of prominent figures in their society, whether it was the filthy rich or the magnates in their respective fields.

Any one of them could cause a huge ripple in the outside world. Yet, they had all gathered there. 

Truly, this was an assembly of the elite and the powerful!
