An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Chapter 2252

Upon hearing Fenley's words, Alicia and Aurora glanced at him before shifting their gaze to Dustin. Curiosity and confusion etched across their faces as they pondered whether Fenley and Dustin knew each other.

"Sir Hudson, you're quite a notable figure. How could someone like me ever cross paths with you? If you think I look familiar, it's likely because I have a common face," Dustin replied calmly, though his heart was racing.

His current appearance was a skillful disguise through Face-Changing Art that made him look different from his usual self.

Upon encountering Fenley, Dustin consciously suppressed his energy waves and ensured no anomalies were revealed. Yet, he didn't expect Fenley to be so perceptive and sensed something amiss with just a glance.

After scrutinizing Dustin, Fenley smiled. "It seems I've mistaken you for someone else. But you're certainly not just anybody. You must possess remarkable talent to garner such acclaim from the Marshall sisters.

"After all, there aren't many in our guild who could match you. I'm sure you'll soon make a name for yourself with your talents."

Despite Dustin's unassuming appearance, Fenley couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to him than met the eye. He had a hunch that the so- called Dr. Rhys was anything but ordinary.

"Thank you, Sir Hudson. I look forward to that day," Dustin responded politely.
