Chapter 45
Author: Marina Vittori
The two women were chatting eagerly on the stage as if they were old friends.

However, only a few would realize these two were locked in rivalry. Just like two beautiful roses competing. Both were beautiful yet filled with prickling thorns.

Dahlia did not feel inferior or dejected, although Natasha had a prestigious background. In fact, it made her more motivated to compete! She had always held herself high and did not give up easily. No matter what difficulties she faced, she would overcome them! It didn’t matter that Natasha was known as Swinton’s business prodigy. One day, she would be equal to her, or she might even surpass her!

“I believe everyone has witnessed Ms. Nicholson’s charm! Next, I want to introduce another young man. Not only did he save me, but he also helped out the Harmon family a lot. He is undoubtedly the Harmon family’s savior!”

The crowd stirred again once she finished. Everyone looked at each other with awe and curiosity. Who on earth would Natasha call a sa

    "The Moseys' situation is unclear right now. You need to be careful too," Natasha said, sounding concerned for once. "Losing a rival like you would make life pretty boring."Dahlia seemed to laugh on the other end. "Don't worry. I'm not going to die before you do."Natasha snorted before hanging up.Dustin couldn't help asking, "What did she say?" "She said Anders is behind it and warned me to watch out. Things at the Moseys have become dangerous," Natasha replied, putting her phone away. "She said there are unknown factions involved now, and even she can't do anything about it."Dustin frowned. "Anders… I remember him. He's an ambitious guy. But if even Dahlia finds these factions troublesome, they're no joke.""Yeah. She said it might be connected to those 'special figures' who showed up in Oakvale recently," she said, looking out the car window. "Could the people you encountered in the park before be…""It's possible," Dustin responded with a nod. "The methods those two used

    "Don't worry," Natasha said with a smile. "I've been keeping a low profile lately, and hardly make any public appearances. I've already assigned people to handle company matters." "Glad to hear that," Dustin responded with a nod.After Blanche left, his life returned to its usual calm. Natasha started visiting the villa even more often. She no longer carried the constant rush of business affairs as she used to. Instead, she deliberately made time to savor simple moments with Dustin.It was the weekend, and she arrived early in the morning, carrying several bags."It's such a beautiful day. Let's go on a picnic," she said with a bright smile, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "I had the chef prepare a lunchbox, along with some fruit and pastries."Dustin looked out at the bright sunshine filling the courtyard and nodded."Sounds good. Where to?" he asked."I know a place not far from here," she replied. "There's a meadow with a gorgeous lake view."They drove out of the c

    The woman glanced at Snowy, and the fox immediately strutted over and affectionately rubbed against her hand. A trace of warmth flickered in her eyes, but it vanished as quickly as it appeared, replaced by her usual cool composure."Thank you," she said. "Once I've recovered, I'll leave and won't trouble you anymore.""No worry," Dustin replied. "Just focus on your recovery. By the way, may I know your name?"She was silent for a moment before answering softly, "Blanche Frost."Over the next few days, Blanche stayed at the villa to recover. She spoke very little and spent most of her time meditating to restore her strength. Occasionally, she would stand by the window, gazing toward the distant mountains, lost in thought.Dustin soon noticed something unusual. Her recovery speed was astonishing. Injuries that would have left an ordinary person bedridden for months had healed to the point of near recovery in just a few days.One afternoon, he was trimming plants in the courtyard wh

    Dustin didn't step closer. He remained at the doorway and spoke gently. "It's okay. I won't hurt you. If you're hungry, you can come eat anytime."The white fox's amber eyes glimmered in the dim light. They stayed locked on him, sharp and wary.He stepped back and grabbed more food from the fridge. Then, he placed a few slices of ham and a small bowl of milk in the corner of the kitchen. He returned to the living room with a book and pretended to read while watching the kitchen from the corner of his eye.Half an hour passed before the fox finally limped out from the storage room. It scanned the area carefully. Only after confirming that Dustin posed no threat did it dart forward to grab the food, then hurry back to its hiding spot.Over the next few days, Dustin left food in the kitchen corner every day. Sometimes it was sliced fruit, and other times, cooked chicken or pet treats he'd bought at the store.The fox came at irregular times, appearing at dawn on some days and late

    Evander smiled faintly, unbothered by Elowen's indifference, and followed after her.Just as he was about to turn away, something seemed to catch his attention. His head shifted ever so slightly toward where Dustin stood.Dustin's heart stirred, but his expression remained unchanged. He kept the same calm demeanor, his gaze sweeping casually over the chaotic scene before resting on the lake's shimmering surface. It was as if he were just another bystander drawn by the commotion.Evander's gaze lingered on him for less than half a second. He saw an ordinary-looking young man in plain clothes with an unremarkable presence, standing by the lake watching the scene unfold. To him, Dustin just looked like other curious onlookers nearby.The corner of Evander's mouth curled upward almost imperceptibly, forming an ambiguous smile. In that expression lay indifference, superiority, and perhaps a trace of contempt for ordinary people. It was something even he might not have been aware of.Wi

    Elowen's smile disappeared in an instant. The playful warmth in her expression turned ice-cold as she slowly raised her head to look at the couple. Her gaze was icy, as though she were staring at lifeless objects.The air seemed to freeze around them.The moment her eyes shifted with intent, Evander's hand came to rest gently on her shoulder, stopping her before she could act.He stepped forward, positioning himself between his sister and the couple. His expression softened into a warm, apologetic smile as he nodded at them."I'm so sorry. My sister wasn't paying attention to where she was going. We apologize for startling you."His tone was sincere and humble as he tried to defuse the situation.The young man's irritation eased slightly when he saw the genuine apology, particularly after noticing Evander's polished demeanor. Still, he couldn't resist saying, "Just pay attention next time. What's with the outfits anyway? You guys filming something?"His girlfriend gave a dismi
