Lewis had been curious all along. He watched Dustin for a moment as he continued to drive. "Why didn't you tell him your true identity?"The question had been nagging at the back of Lewis' mind for a while, but he only dared to say it respectfully and cautiously for fear of offending Dustin.Dustin gave Lewis a glance with a faint smile. "I don't want my name to be a burden." Then he turned his gaze back to stare out the window.Lewis frowned. He didn't understand what Dustin meant by his name being a burden. "Why would you think that? Your name is not a burden. People will respect you more and won't insult you as Steve did earlier."Dustin smiled slightly. "Precisely because of that, I can't reveal my identity because it's a burden."Dustin stared straight ahead as memories of his past suddenly flashed back. "When I was a kid, everyone changed after discovering who I was. They suddenly became too nice to me, so it felt like a poison killing me daily."Lewis understood exactly how Dus
Steve was angry. He felt insulted by Dustin's words. Steve grabbed Dustin firmly by the collar. "You're a liar. A fool like you couldn't possibly have my skills. There's no way you're working at Cloa! You're making that up!""I work there. You're the one with no skills," Dustin retorted as he pushed Steve's body.Steve was annoyed; he almost fell over from the forceful push. That poor, lowly man really made him angry. "That's where the greats are. You won't be able to work there!"Dustin grinned as he straightened his clothes that had become wrinkled because of Steve. "You're jealous of me because I'm much better than you? I work there as the head of the Cloa company."Eri chuckled in annoyance. Her arms folded across her chest. She couldn't believe what her son-in-law was saying. "You're imagining things too much. Head of the company? Never mind, there's no need to act so much! I doubt even being an OB there!"Karina let out a long breath, looking at Dustin. "You don't have to lie, D
"Let me take you, sir." Sarah offered to drive Dustin because, as his personal secretary, she should always know where Dustin was going, especially regarding business for the company."Okay." Dustin agreed. They quickly left the room and entered the elevator.Just as Dustin and Sarah left the company, Dustin met Steve, who was curious and wanted to confirm Dustin's statement that he was indeed working at Cloa's company.Steve was surprised. Dustin simply ignored him, passing in front of him with Sarah when a car stopped right in front of them. A middle-aged man dressed in all black got out of the car and opened the car door for Dustin and Sarah.The driver bowed respectfully, and Sarah and Dustin got into the company car specially provided by Lewis to take Dustin anywhere."Where is he going? It turns out he does work here." Steve still couldn't believe what he was seeing. He rushed into the car, following the car carrying Dustin from behind.A few minutes later, Dustin exited the car
The salesman didn't accept this and got even angrier. He raised his chin as if challenging Dustin. "I've worked here for a year and know how to judge people well. Your clothes are too simple; it's obvious that you don't have the money to buy clothes here."Dustin smiled slightly in response to the waiter's ramblings. "Don't be stupid; how could you be deceived by others? Then you can't become a figure with a high position. You can only be a salesman for the rest of your life."Dustin spoke so the salesman would immediately realize his mistake, but he was indeed a fool. He wouldn't understand the meaning of Dustin's words.The salesman felt insulted by Dustin's words. He scrunched up his waist. "I'm going to get a promotion for catching a thief, you!"Of course, the waitress would never want to be in this position for the rest of her life. He was jealous when he saw others with higher ranks than him. He also wanted to buy this and do that if he got an elevated position. He even envisio
Hearing that, everyone was shocked because the Cloa company was a big company across the street from this shop. They all looked at each other."That's the big company over there, right? Gosh, he's the leader." One customer whispered to another. Now they were in a bad mood, regretting that they had insulted Dustin.Steve, who heard it, was also shocked. He shook his head in disbelief at what Sarah was saying. "No way. He's a stupid man; he can't be the company's leader. There must be something to hide. Dustin must be hiring someone."The salesman became agitated. His lips were trembling, and his palms were covered in cold sweat. "That's impossible. How can a leader be dressed like this."The salesman shook his head with pursed lips. "He must be lying! It could just be a trick on their part!"Steve grinned as he nodded his head happily in place. He agreed with the waiter's words. "Yes, indeed. Dustin must be doing tricks and gimmicks to make his plan work, and everyone thinks he's the c
Arland looked at Dustin with a puzzled look. He was surprised and did not expect why Dustin would speak like that. "Why would you say that? I've tried to do good to make amends."Dustin threw the clothes on the floor. "Do you think I don't know the quality of these clothes?"Arland took back the clothes that Dustin had thrown on the floor. "But sir, this is the finest suit."Arland's forehead furrowed, in his heart wondering why the man could know the quality of this suit when judging from the way he was dressed, it was clear that the man was not good at distinguishing between good and bad quality, looking like he did not have good taste in dressing. An ordinary person would think this suit was good; there was no difference.Dustin smiled faintly, annoyed in his heart. How dare that manager underestimate him. "Just by touching it, I can tell it's a poor-quality suit."Arland gently patted the suit while paying close attention; how could Dustin know the quality of this suit just by tou
Dustin left the shop, ignoring the soft voice of Arland, who kept apologizing. Not even caring about all the looks from the people around the shop.Sarah was surprised by Dustin's actions. In her heart, she said, "Mr. Dustin is indeed a leader. Now I believe he is a great person. I won't doubt him anymore."After leaving the store, Dustin called Albert again. As before, Albert immediately picked up his phone call. "Is there a problem I need to solve again, sir?"Dustin glanced at his clothes from the reflection of the shop glass, resuming his footsteps. "Send some nice clothes for me to Cloa's company immediately."Albert, on the other side, nodded his head. "Yes, Master Dustin. I will have it ready as soon as possible."Dustin hung up the phone call, crossed the street, and reentered the company. Half an hour later, Albert arrived at Cloa's company, facing Dustin in his office.Albert arrived with several people dressed in black. Each of them carried two paper bags. "Here, Master. I
Not long after, a man named Patrick got out of the luxury car in an overly glamorous outfit. "Good afternoon. Hi, Karina."With his familiarity, Patrick waved at them. Suddenly, Eri ignored Dustin and chose to approach Patrick. "You finally came too. Karina, you must already know him. I'm going to match him with you."Hearing Eri's words suddenly made Karina and Dustin surprised. Karina shook her head in disbelief. "Oh my God, Mom. You can't do that. I'm already married."Patrick was indeed the man Eri intended to set Karina up with. They had known each other long as distant friends, but Karina would stick to her decision not to divorce Dustin.Patrick was honored by Eri's welcome. This was his chance to belittle Dustin. He saw Dustin's simple appearance. "Oh, you want to keep a husband like that guy? A useless husband who only brings shame to the family. Wouldn't you rather be with me? Obviously, I have everything. I can give you whatever you want and make you happy."Karina, who hea
