He could only hold on to her tightly, feeling her warmth and savoring her scent. It was only at that moment that his anxious heart finally calmed down. "I'm happy you're alive," Dustin whispered softly after a long pause. "Alright, stop hugging me. I'm starting to run out of breath," Natasha smiled knowingly. She patted Dustin gently on the back. Although she enjoyed the moment, he was hugging her a bit too tightly."Ahem … I'm sorry, I was out of line." Dustin snapped back to reality and released her immediately.He had let his emotions take over earlier. He didn't even realize what he had done."I'm happy you did that. At least it shows that you care about me," Natasha smiled sweetly. She was happy. They had gone through life and death together. It was an experience that placed her way beyond what he had with Dahlia. So what if they'd been married before? They'd even risked their lives for each other!"Dear, rest up. I'll go check if your medicine is ready."Natasha ti
"My dear, it's time to take your medicine." While Dustin was chatting with Cornelius, a melodious female voice rang out. They saw Natasha walk in gracefully with a steaming bowl in her hands.She had an enchanting smile and a rosy complexion. She carefully brought the medicinal soup to Dustin's lips. "Come on, my dear, drink up."Dustin's eyes twitched. Why did this scene seem so familiar?"My dear, what's the matter? Drink up," Natasha said with a charming smile. Her eyes carried a hint of playfulness. "Umm, can I not drink it?" Dustin was reluctant."Of course not. I personally prepared it for you."Natasha raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter? You don't think I poisoned it, do you?"Dustin sighed. "Well, it will be worth it if I die by your hand." He then lifted the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.Seeing his face all puckered up, Natasha burst out in laughter. "Alright, alright, no more teasing. Let's go have dinner. I have all your favorite dishes prepared toda
"What bullshit!""Mrs. Lansky glared at her. "How can you compare that little bastard to my precious son? A strand of hair on his body is worth more than her life! "I'm warning you, grovel on your feet and apologize now! Or you won't like what's going to happen to you!" "Mrs. Lansky! Can you be reasonable? It's clearly your son's fault. Why should we be the ones to apologize?" Cecilia said with a frown. Without hesitation, Mrs. Lansky delivered a harsh slap across Cecilia's face. She yelled, "I told you to apologize, so just apologize! What's all this nonsense? If you challenge me again, I'll tear your mouth apart!""You—" Cecilia clenched her teeth, seething in anger. She didn't expect Mrs. Lansky to be so unreasonable. Not only did they refuse to apologize for their mistake, they even resorted to violence.They were being too much!"Don't hit my mum!" Haley stood in front of her mother with outstretched hands. She looked angry. "You're a bad person! An old witch! I'm
The unexpected scene shocked everyone present. Nobody could have predicted that someone would actually hit Mrs. Lansky's son.Everyone knew that Mrs. Lansky was infamous for being a tyrant in this area. Nobody dared to offend her. "Oh my God! My son!" After a momentary shock, Mrs. Lansky screamed. She rushed forward clumsily and wrapped the disoriented, chubby kid in her arms.The little kid now had a crooked nose and busted lips. His mouth was also covered in blood, with two front teeth missing. Half of his face was extremely red and swollen. "Son! Don't scare me like this! Wake up!" Mrs. Lansky was panicking and pinched his nose repeatedly to wake him up. It was only after he woke up that she calmed down slightly. However, very soon, her expression turned hideous. She screamed, "Who was it that hit my son? Who was it? Reveal yourself!" She turned around, looking like she was about to commit murder."It was me!" Dustin stepped forward with a dark expression. His gaze tu
The crowd pointed and whispered, astonished at Dustin's outrageous behavior. A simple apology would have resolved this matter. But now, it had escalated into a major issue. With Mrs. Lansky beaten up so badly, Dustin would probably end up with broken limbs. Worse still, he could be buried alive!Dustin delivered another slap that knocked Mrs. Lansky to the ground. He demanded, "Tell me, who exactly are you?"Mrs. Lansky's face was beaten up so badly that she felt dizzy and disoriented. She couldn't even tell left from right. "Stop it!" Right then, the kindergarten's headmistress pushed through the crowd in a frantic rush. Seeing Mrs. Lansky's swollen face, she was shocked and quickly helped her onto a chair. "Oh my, Mrs. Lansky! What happened to you? Who did this to you?"Mrs. Lansky's arm shook as she pointed at Dustin."How dare you!" The headmistress turned around and roared, "Who are you? How dare you lay your hands on Mrs. Lansky? Do you have any idea of the troub
Dustin's words were impactful! It left Mrs. Prewitt trembling as she alternated between anger and embarrassment.Some parents, whom Mrs. Prewitt had repressed in the past secretly applauded. They found immense satisfaction in this turn of events. They were happy she finally had a taste of her own medicine since she always looked down on them. "You impudent bastard! Just who the hell are you? How dare you lecture me!"Mrs. Prewitt fumed, and her temper flared. "Just you wait and see! "I will expel Haley from this kindergarten and blacklist her! I will make sure she will never get an education in her lifetime! I'm going to blacklist all of you!""Blacklist?" Dustin scoffed. He kicked Mrs. Prewitt down to the ground."Why don't you try? I'd like to see just how capable you are!"Mrs. Prewitt landed on her bottom. Scrambling to her feet, she yelled with a strained voice, "Security! Security! Where the hell are you? Come quickly!"After hearing her screams, two security guards
Mrs. Prewitt reminded him. "Jo?" After Vernon took a closer look, his eyes widened instantly. "W-What happened to you?""It was him … That bastard did this to me!" With a trembling hand, Mrs. Lansky pointed at Dustin. Vernon's gaze followed the direction his wife was pointing at. "It was you?" His expression turned dark. "You hit my wife?" he roared. "Yes, it was me." Dustin nodded and admitted to it plainly. "This bitch was being unreasonable. I was only teaching her a lesson.""You've got nerves! How dare you teach my wife a lesson?" Vernon had a dark and hostile look to him. "Why don't you tell me how you plan on dealing with this matter?" Everyone had to show him respect in this area. If Dustin dared hit his wife, he had to either have a powerful background or be a naive hothead.Before being sure of his identity, Vernon had left some room for negotiation. "If this bitch apologizes to us, I'll let today's incident slide," Dustin said impassively. "What? A
"Huh?" Mrs. Prewitt was in a daze, cradling her cheek and feeling utterly bewildered.Why did Vernon hit her when she was helping him? What on earth was happening?"What are you still standing there for? Apologize!" Vernon landed another slap across her face. He didn't dare provoke influential figures. However, he could easily control an insignificant headmistress. "I-I'm sorry … " Mrs. Prewitt was aggrieved as she gritted out the words. Although she wasn't sure what was going on, it was clear that this bitch was someone important. Otherwise, Inspector Lansky wouldn't have reacted that way. "Ms. Harmon, I apologize for not noticing you earlier." After punishing Mrs. Prewitt, Vernon was full of smiles. "May I know what brings you here, Ms. Harmon?""This is my man, and this is my goddaughter." Natasha didn't hold back her words. "Your wife assaulted my goddaughter earlier. "My man then assaulted your wife in retaliation to protect her. This is considered self-defense,
