An Understated Dominance - Chapter 472

“My friend, this is a great salary! You won’t find a better offer anywhere else! If you do a good job, I might even give you a bonus!” Terrence joked.

“You should be grateful that Terrence is offering you the job as his chauffeur, Dustin. You’ll regret it if you turn it down!” Julie said proudly.

“That’s right! Terrence is the manager of Brooks Corporation, and he has a bright future ahead. You’ll enjoy many perks working for him. What’s not to like?” Victoria added.

“Is Brooks Corporation really that important?” Dustin still wasn’t sure.

“You don’t know about Brooks Corporation? It’s a massive company worth hundreds of billions! If you’re even slightly connected to it, you’ll live a luxurious life!” Victoria scoffed. It was clear he didn’t know much.

“I’m sorry, but I’ve never heard of it,” Dustin admitted, shaking his head again. He didn’t know much about business in Millsburg.

“Okay, maybe you haven’t heard of Brooks Corporation. But how about Big Bucks Brooks? Surely you know him?” Terrence smirked.

“Big Bucks Brooks? Of course, I know him,” Dustin replied, raising his eyebrows.

“Great! Brooks Corporation is one of Big Bucks Brooks’ businesses, and I work for him!” Terrence said, sounding important.

“Oh? So you work for Roderick? What a coincidence!” Dustin chuckled.

“What do you mean? Do you know him?” Terrence asked, narrowing his eyes.

“Of course! He used to come to me for medical help!” Dustin nodded.

“Seek your help?” Terrence laughed. “You’re quite the storyteller, aren’t you? Do you even know who you’re talking about?”

“Just how influential is Big Bucks Brooks? Why would he come to someone like you, who isn’t even a real doctor?” Julie said with disdain.

“Exactly! There are so many qualified doctors in Millsburg. Why would he choose you? Who do you think you are?” Florence added, looking frustrated. She felt embarrassed for Dahlia, who had invited Rhys over, now that he was being called out as a fraud.

“Don’t believe me? I can call Roderick right now!” Dustin said confidently.

“Go ahead! I’d love to see how connected you really are,” Terrence mocked. Even as the manager of Brooks Corporation, he didn’t have Big Bucks Brooks’ number. It seemed absurd that Dustin could.

“Yeah, let’s see if you can reach him!” Julie laughed derisively.

“Alright,” Dustin said, pulling out his phone to call Roderick Brooks. After a long wait, the call still didn’t connect.

“What’s going on? Is he not answering? Haha! Keep trying!” Terrence joked, convinced that Dustin was just pretending.

“Are you done yet? Everyone can see you’re just putting on a show,” Julie said with a sneer.

“What a joke!” Florence was visibly irritated.

“Forget it, Dustin. Let’s just eat,” Dahlia suggested, noticing the tension. Everyone knew how important Big Bucks Brooks was; he played a major role in Millsburg’s economy, and it wasn’t easy to reach him.

“Actually, it went through,” Dustin said just as…

Everyone looked at Dustin with disdain. Finally, Roderick answered his call.

“Oh? The call went through? Let’s hear what he has to say!” Terrence said mockingly, snatching the phone from Dustin’s hand and putting it on speaker so everyone could listen.

“Hello, who is this? Are you Big Bucks Brooks? Hey, Mr. Brooks, are you going to play along with the act too?” he asked, dripping with sarcasm.

“Wait, you’re not Mr. Rhys! Who are you?” Roderick questioned.

“Me? Ha! I’m Terrence Stone, manager of Brooks Corporation! You’re just pretending to be Roderick Brooks, aren’t you? I’d love to see you try!” Terrence sneered.

“Terrence Stone, is it? Fine, I’ll remember that,” Roderick replied calmly.
