Chapter: 874
"As far as I know, Dylan’s a high–ranking commander in an elite unit. He’s just one step away from becoming a general. He has a mighty bright future ahead!" Gordon exclaimed enviously.
Dylan’s return had been quite the talk of the town recently. Countless scions of prominent families tried their best to curry favor with him due to his high military position and also because he was from the Dark Panther Cavalry.
"He is hot, comes from a wealthy family, and to top it all off, he is crazy talented. Where do you find a man like this? I think I’m in love!" Zoey swooned over Dylan with hearts coming out of her eyes. He was powerful, rich, and, most importantly, handsome. Was he not the embodiment of the man of her dreams?
"Zoey, I don’t mean to discourage you, but people like Dylan are bound to have crazy high standards. They won’t fall for the regular girl," Gordon reminded her.
"Nothing is for sure. I have the advantage of having Natasha on my side. Who knows? Things might just work out?" Zoey wasn’t the least bit discouraged by Gordon’s reminder. She wasn’t about to let such an exceptional man slip past her fingers now that he had appeared in front of her.
"Hey Gordon, who’s the lady beside Dylan Harmon? She’s beautiful and very elegant, I must say!" As opposed to Zoey, Zeke had his eyes on the lady.
"She’s Dylan’s cousin and Mr. Trent’s daughter, Kate Harmon," Gordon introduced.
"Kate Harmon? That’s a sweet name!" Zeke rubbed his chin and asked cheekily, "Say, do you think I stand a chance, Gordon?"
"You have just about as much chance of winning her over as I have with Natasha," Gordon told him bluntly. Kate was as beautiful as Natasha, so it would not be easy to court her.
Zeke laughed. He said excitedly, "Then we’ll both have to work harder!"
"The Harmon family has such perfect genes! Every one of them looks gorgeous. If I marry Dylan, I’m sure we’ll have such beautiful babies!" Zoey exclaimed giddily. Her words left the rest of them speechless. She had not even so much as spoken a word with him, and she was already thinking about having his babies?
"Hey! It looks like they’re coming our way! Could he have noticed my beauty so soon? Oh no! Is my makeup in perfect condition?" Zoey was overjoyed to see Dylan walking in their direction and immediately whipped out her compact mirror to touch up her makeup. Gordon and Zeke swiftly sucked in their stomach and puffed up their chests, trying to look like distinguished gentlemen.
"Dylan, that guy in white is Dustin Rhys, Natasha’s good–for–nothing boyfriend. Had it not been for him, our family would not be in such trouble. Besides, my brother Quentin’s death was also because of him!" Kate caught sight of Dustin sipping on his tea the moment she came in through the door. A cold glint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
"Why is Natasha still hanging around such a pain in the neck? Has she been blinded by him?" Dylan was annoyed by his presence.
"It’s too bad I’m a woman, or I’ll make sure to teach him a good lesson!" Kate egged on.
"Leave the dirty job to me, Kate. I’ll make sure he learns a lesson he’ll never forget!" A wicked smile spread across Dylan’s face as he took a glass of wine from a nearby waiter and discreetly added some unknown powder to it.
"What did you put in the wine, Dylan?" Kate was quick to notice Dylan’s actions as she stood right beside him.
"Nothing much, just a potent laxative." Dylan smirked.
"As soon as he drinks this, he will lose control over his bowels and shit himself within minutes. I like to see if he’ll still have the balls to stick around the Harmon family after that."
"You have such a brilliant idea!" Kate’s eyes sparkled. Dustin wouldn’t be able to face anyone after wetting and soiling himself in front of an audience. What Dylan was about to pull would absolutely crush Dustin!
"Just wait and see, Kate. I’ll get you your revenge." Dylan winked at her before approaching Dustin with his men.
"He’s coming, he’s coming! He’s really coming our way!" Zoey was so excited she was on the verge of losing her composure when she saw Dylan approaching. Without waiting any longer, she stood up to greet him.
