Outside Dash Corporation building, a luxury sedan sat parked at the curb.The driver saw Gilbert stumble out, clutching his broken wrist, his face pale with agony. He quickly got out of the vehicle. "Mr. Chandler, what happened to you?""Shut the hell up!" Gilbert shouted. "Don't ask stupid questions. Just get me to a hospital. It hurts like hell." He kicked the driver and climbed into the back seat.The driver didn't dare say another word. He started the engine and sped toward the nearest hospital.Gilbert winced and grimaced from the pain. He stared at his broken wrist while rage bubbled inside him. He pulled out his phone and fumbled with his working fingers to dial a number.The call was quickly answered, and a calm but slightly annoyed male voice came from the other end."Gil? What is it? I'm in a meeting.""Frederick, someone hit me. My… My wrist is broken," Gilbert cried, his voice cracked with pain and rage."What?" His elder brother, Frederick Chandler, raised his

"What a coincidence, Ms. Nicholson." Natasha's tone was cool and distant. "Though staring at my husband like that seems a bit inappropriate, don't you think?""Husband?" Dahlia snapped out of her daze and composed herself, her face returning to its usual calm detachment. She smiled faintly with a hint of skepticism. "Ms. Harmon, if I recall correctly, you're not married. Where did this husband come from?"Natasha had expected this question. She immediately wrapped her arm around Dustin's and pressed her body intimately against him.Tilting her face up toward her, she declared, "He is my husband. We're getting our marriage license tomorrow."The announcement caught Dahlia off guard, creating a ripple of unease beneath her composed exterior. Her smile stiffened just slightly as her eyes moved back to Dustin, and something unreadable flickered across her face. She took a moment before responding, keeping her voice neutral."Well then, congratulations to you both.""Thank you,

"Ms. Nicholson, don't just sit there. The beef is delicious. You should try some," Natasha said.She seemed to have just noticed Dahlia sitting there in silence. Her tone was warm, but her smile carried a hint of triumph."Thank you," Dahlia replied, looking up and forcing a smile. She picked up a slice of beef, but her throat felt tight, and she could barely swallow. She tried to find something to say, both to break the awkward silence and to satisfy her curiosity about what Dustin had been doing lately."I heard you were away for a long time recently. Were you handling something important?"Before he could answer, Natasha cut in. Her tone held both pride and a clear assertion of her knowledge of his whereabouts."You're right. My man is very capable. He was dealing with some very important matters and even saved the King. Isn't that right, dear?"She placed another piece of meat on Dustin's plate while she spoke.Dahlia's stomach dropped. She'd always known Dustin was extrao

"Ram them," Dustin said decisively.Natasha understood immediately. There was a sharp glint in her eyes as she floored the gas and drove straight at Gilbert and his men.Gilbert was startled and quickly jumped out of the way. Two of his men weren't fast enough and got knocked to the ground.She shifted the gear into reverse and floored the gas again, scattering the group before backing straight into the cars blocking the intersection. The impact knocked the blocking vehicle to the side, opening a path.Their plan worked. Without hesitation, Natasha spun the wheel and executed a perfect drift. The car sped through the opening and off into the distance."Dammit! Go after them. Don't let them get away," Gilbert roared, scrambling to his feet. He was covered in grime and shaking with fury.Frederick crushed his cigar under his heel and got into his car, his expression grim.Engines roared as eight vans took off after the fleeing red sports car. A high-speed chase through the streets

After arriving at the police station, Dustin and Natasha were led into an interview room. A middle-aged officer, Cedric Wolfe, personally took their statements. He was calm and courteous throughout.She gave a detailed account of the entire incident. She described being cornered by Gilbert's convoy outside the mall, the chase that followed, and finally being surrounded on the overpass.Dustin added more details, emphasizing the attackers' numbers, their weapons, and how the Chandler brothers had openly ordered the assault. He spoke clearly and calmly and characterized their actions as serious intentional assault and unlawful detention.Cedric took notes, his frown deepening with each detail. With the Chandler family involved and the crime carried out so openly, he found himself in a difficult position.Just then, someone knocked softly on the door. A young officer hurried in and whispered something to Cedric. Then, he discreetly handed him a phone with someone still on the line.
