"Young man, I advise you to consider this carefully. I do not like to be rejected. If something catches my eye, I'll do anything to get it." Phineas began to ramp things up. "If you agree, then not only will you get the money, you'll also become a friend of the Laney family. If you ever run into trouble, our family will help you. Conversely, if you turn me down, you'll become an enemy of the Laney family. You have to decide for yourself whether you want to be our friend or foe."Dustin couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. "I don't like to be threatened. If you're going to speak like that, then we can only be enemies.""Hm?" Phineas' face darkened."Punk, are you sure you want to do this?""Of course." Dustin nodded."Hmph! Don't think you can go around fearlessly because you have the Harmons backing you. To tell you the truth, I have a hundred ways to deal with small fry like you. If you're going to remain stubborn, I don't mind playing this game with you," Phineas threat
After hanging up, Dustin began to clean the medical center with Caitlyn.Although she didn't let out a word of complaint, Dustin could tell that the death of her pet cat had taken a huge toll on her.Her eyes were constantly red, and she was trying her hardest to cry without making a sound.This young woman had had such a tough life that she lived so pitifully and carefully that she didn't even dare to cry.She was such a good kid that it tugged at Dustin's heartstrings.The two of them worked together for a long time before the medical center was finally clean.After a few moments, a silver Bentley pulled up at the entrance.The door opened, and Natasha got out of the car, dressed in a red dress."Ms. Harmon?" When Caitlyn spotted Natasha, she immediately greeted her."Come on, Caitlyn, I've told you many times that you don't need to be so formal with me. You can just treat me as your sister." Natasha smiled, patting Caitlyn's head."Okay." Caitlyn nodded obediently, but it
"A—AIDS?"Chloe was frozen in place, at a loss.She was truly shocked.Not only because Dustin hit the nail on the head for all the symptoms she was experiencing, but mainly because she had gotten a new boy toy a while back.When they were intimate, they hadn't used protection.Now, hearing his words, she couldn't help but panic a little."Dustin, are you … sure?" Natasha also looked surprised.AIDS was not a trivial matter.Could it be that this was Roderick's secret illness?"Although I can't be a hundred percent sure, I'm sure I'm not too far off," Dustin replied."You … You're bullshitting me!" Chloe shrieked. "I just had a medical checkup at the hospital this morning. How can I have AIDS? Stop trying to scare me!"It's up to you whether you want to believe me." Dustin shrugged his shoulders."Bastard, you're scaremongering and humiliating me in public. I've got to teach you a lesson! Wally, beat him up!" Chloe flew into a rage and ordered the young bodyguard standing b
"Honey, why did you hit me?" Chloe cupped her face, looking hurt.The others also looked at each other, unable to comprehend what had just unfolded.No one expected that Big Bucks Brooks, the man who had always covered for his wife's behavior, would smack her with his own hand."See for yourself!" With a dark look, he threw the phone straight at Chloe.Chloe picked up the phone and took a look. Suddenly, her face turned ashen, as if she'd been struck by lightning.It was the medical checkup report from the hospital, and the diagnosis was indeed AIDS!"How could this happen? No, it can't be!" Chloe shook her head frantically in utter disbelief. "This medical report must have been falsified! Honey, I don't have AIDS, I really don't!""Are you still trying to defend yourself at this point?!" Roderick roared, his blood was boiling.Any man would not be able to stomach finding out they were cheated on.Even worse, his wife had contracted AIDS because of it.This was simply humilia
"This young man must be the skilled healer you mentioned, Mr. Rhys, right? From what happened today, you do live up to your reputation," Roderick said."I only hope you won't take it too hard, Mr. Brooks," Dustin said.Any man wouldn't be able to handle hearing that he'd been cheated on."Speaking of, I should be thanking you, Mr. Rhys. If it wasn't for your sharp eyes, I don't know how long I would have been lied to." Roderick forced a smile.In this case, it was better to rip the bandage off.Although it was a bit humiliating, it still beat getting cheated on repeatedly."Mr. Brooks, forgive me for asking, but could the secret illness you've been suffering from be the same as your wife's?" Natasha asked tentatively. Typically speaking, if his wife got it, then Roderick must have caught it too."Um … I probably don't have it." Roderick looked slightly embarrassed. "To be honest, because of how busy I have been with work, I haven't slept with my wife for half a year.""That's
Roderick stood there frozen, his face was pale.He'd experienced all kinds of hardships all his life, but at that moment, he didn't know what to do.He thought it was bad enough that he'd gotten cheated on.He didn't expect that there'd be a bigger "surprise" that followed.His son wasn't actually biologically his?This revelation was even more severe than finding out he was being cheated on! "Mr. Rhys, are … you sure?" Roderick's eye twitched. He was clinging to the very last glimmer of hope."Mr. Brooks, it's a hard pill to swallow, but based on your body's current condition, you lost your ability to have children a long time ago. If you don't believe me, you can go get tested yourself," Dustin said firmly. To be honest, he was starting to pity Roderick.Although he was swamped with riches, his wife had an affair, and his son wasn't his.This double whammy would have driven any ordinary person insane."Alright. Thank you, Mr. Rhys. There are too many people here. Shall w
Despite running such a huge family business, Roderick didn't even have an heir now. It was truly a tragedy."Mr. Brooks, don't take it too hard. Although the knife injury damaged your fertility, it can actually be treated. Once you're recovered, you can have another son, or even ten! It won't be a problem." Dustin smiled as he attempted to cheer Roderick up."Really?" Roderick trembled, his face expectant.In the past six months, the main reason he hadn't slept with his wife was because he couldn't get it up.However, because of his dignity as a man, he'd always kept it a secret.So, to hear that he'd be able to rise up again, naturally, he was elated."Mr. Brooks, if I dare to say it, it means I can do it." As Dustin spoke, he took out a tablet and said, "This is Gemiphen, which I created. It helps clear up circulatory pathways and heal internal injuries. Give it a try.""Okay!" Without another word, Roderick took the Gemiphen and swallowed it.As soon as the tablet entered hi
At that moment, Phineas and Matt were in the Brooks Manor living room."Dad, do you think Big Bucks Brooks will lend us money?" Matt glanced around, looking worried."Big Bucks Brooks is filthy rich and generous to boot. He's always had a good relationship with our family. It shouldn't be a problem to borrow some money," Phineas said, raising his cup and taking a sip. It was obvious that he was very confident.Although the Laney family hadn't been restored to its previous glory, they were still above the average person.Outside, they still had some status."If it weren't for our family's capital chain rupture causing our businesses to suffer majorly, we would never have to borrow money from others," Matt said, sighing.Not long ago, they'd suddenly received terrible news.Many of their big-shot partners had retracted their investments. All the business deals they'd made previously had gone bust.Their entire family suffered serious damage overnight.Now, they desperately neede
