"Fine. I'll do it…"
Within an exclusive club, Luis couldn't help grinning when he heard the o
ther voice from the phone. "Great. See you tonight. You better not stand
me up again."
With that, he hung up. The young men and women surrounding him immediatel
y gave him a thumbs–up after learning what had happened.
"Never thought a tiny trick like this could get that chick to obey you, M
s. Langford. You're incredible!" a blond man praised.
Luis chuckled evilly. "She would never have agreed if I hadn't sent her b
rother in. Besides, how could I let a chick like her slip through my fing
ers like that?"
None of the women he set his sights on have ever gotten away from him. Al
l it took was some time and some tricks. Dahlia may look like an innocent
woman, but as long as he used her friends and family as bait, she would
surely bite.
"I'm curious, Mr. Langford. Why would you marry her? You could have just
had fun without getting married. This doesn't seem like something you'd d
o." The blond man observed.
"Excellent question." Luis paused to light a cigar. "Truthfully, what I w
ant is the Glenstead Nicholsons" support. Marriage between our families h
as been set, and Dahlia will soon carry out her family's orders. Through
her, I will take over the Nicholsons' power completely!"
His words caused a stir among the crowd, and they immediately began singi
ng his praises.
"As expected of Mr. Langford, he thinks so far ahead. How impressive!"
"He has brains and brawn. He's amazing!"
"Once I take over the Nicholsons, I will become the head of the Langfords
!" Luis declared confidently.
Competition between him and his brothers was fierce, as everyone wanted t
o become the head of the family. To win against them, he must
have enough strength and power.
"Then let us wish you a happy marriage in advance!" The blond man led the
group to offer Luis a toast. Soon, laughter resonated through the room.
8 pm at Hillview Restaurant.
Dustin had arrived earlier than the agreed time. He had chosen the most l
uxurious room they had to cater to him and Dahlia, which didn't matter mu
ch to him since this was one of his businesses, and he didn't have to
pay.
"Sir, our chef prepared these dishes specially for you. Please let us kno
w what you think." The manager, carrying a menu, began to introduce each
dish to Dustin.
"No need for all this. You can arrange it as you see fit. Just make sure
to get us the chef's signature dish,"

Dustin instructed.
"Of course, sir." The manager nodded and waved his hand to those outside
the room.
A group of waiters immediately began setting up the place with flowers, w
ine, candles, and more, making the room look romantic and warm. They had
even hired a guitarist and three dancers to perform. Soon, everything was
ready.
"Sir, I took the
liberty to arrange some performers. I hope you don't mind." the manager s
aid with a smile.
"This looks quite grand. You must have put in a lot of effort." Dustin wa
s surprised.
"I can always tell them to leave if you don't wish them to be here." The
manager lowered his head.
"It's fine. It's quite nice. Thank you." Dustin smiled.
Dahlia would like this, wouldn't she?
"It's my pleasure to serve you, sir. May I know when Ms. Nicholson will b
e arriving so I can prepare things?" the manager asked tentatively.
"She should be here soon." Dustin glanced at the time. It was already pas
t eight..
Dahlia always kept her promise and was never late. Did something
happen?
Puzzled, Dustin pulled out his phone to call her.
