Chapter 554
It was the day of Hector’s 50th birthday celebration, and many elites and prominent figures showed up for the event. Though the banquet had yet to commence, there was already quite a crowd in the banquet hall, and more guests arrived as time went on.
“Dustin? What are you doing here?” Dustin heard a woman ask from behind him. He turned around to see several familiar faces that he had met once, quite some time ago. They were Adriana, Zoey, Gordon, Zeke, and several others. These were Natasha’s classmates from her school days.
The first time he met them, Adriana had some troubles due to her contract and was harassed by a manager working for the Langfords. He had helped her out of the situation and beaten up the manager. After Luis Langford returned to Stonia, Dustin had never met these people again, so it was quite a surprise to meet them again.
“Hey! I asked you a question! Why are you not answering me? How rude!” Zoey was displeased by
his reaction, or rather, the lack of it.
“Of course, I’m here to celebrate Mr. Harmon’s birthday. Why else would I be here?” Dustin stated calmly. Apart from Adriana, this bunch of people had not left a good impression on him.
“Hah! I see you’re still hounding Natasha! Don’t you know where you stand?” Zeke ridiculed.
“I’ve got a piece of advice for you, Dustin. Natasha is the heiress of a wealthy family. She’s way out
of your league, so you better take a good look in the mirror before you come badgering her,” Gordon said meanly.
They saw Dustin as nothing more than a typical boy toy who had no means of providing for
himself and only knew how to sweet–talk women, so they deemed him unfit for their sophisticated circle.
“You should stop looking down on others. How do you know that she’s out of my league?” Dustin
asked.
“Hah! You’re just a country doctor with no social standing, a prominent background, or any skills. How could you ever be good enough for Natasha?” Gordon questioned condescendingly.
