Dustin actually knew that there was a secret in the backyard of the Wyatt family villa. Lucas had mentioned it to him while he was still alive. Lucas had told him that there was a great secret hidden inside. He had also told Dustin that he was not supposed to enter the secret room without his permission. Dustin was only allowed into the first room three years after his death. Dustin had always abided by Lucas’s will and never got closer to the secret room. But the three years were up. The Wyatt sisters sneered outside the secret room. The secret room was dangerous, and they did not dare enter it. “Dustin will most likely die from the traps in the secret room,” Clara said coldly. “Even if he manages to survive out of pure luck, we wouldn’t lose anything. We’ll learn what Dad left behind. Perhaps the treasure is inside!” “Killing two birds with one stone! Clara, you’re so smart!” said Elisa as she smiled and praised her. Delia and Elisa watched Dustin enter the secret
[The Fox family suffered a great, inhumane tragedy. Your entire family was killed. Your father was beheaded, and your mother took her own life to preserve her honor. [My greatest regret was arriving too late at the scene. Otherwise, the Fox family wouldn’t have been destroyed. [I was worried about you being dragged into this bloody fight, so I sent you to an orphanage. But someone managed to find you. That was why I had to keep you by my side. I treated you like my own son and taught you everything I knew.] When he read this, Dustin clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh. His eyes were bloodshot with rage. He always thought that he was a child who had been abandoned, but to think that he was actually tied to a blood feud was something else entirely! ‘Your father was beheaded, and your mother took her own life to preserve her honor.’ These words repeated themselves in his thoughts. Rage burned within him. His family had done nothing wrong. They pos
“Dustin is terrible! How could Dad take in such an ungrateful b*stard?!” The Wyatt sisters were filled with rage and hate as they watched Dustin leave. They could not stop him at all. The Wyatt family of the present was just too weak… “Once the Wyatt family rises to power again, he’ll be the first person we’ll get rid of!” Delia said angrily. “I can’t wait anymore! When are we making our comeback?” Elisa’s face was red with rage. “Mom sent word from Central Harbor. She said that Aunt Margaret left yesterday. We’ll start making plans once she arrives.” Amara’s words lifted the moods of the other three sisters. “Is Aunt Margaret coming here?” A familiar face surfaced in their minds. Margaret Byrne was a powerful person. “Are you girls talking about me?” Suddenly, they heard a voice from behind them. The Wyatt sisters turned around in delight. An elegant woman in her thirties walked in. She was accompanied by a young woman adorned in designer clothes and sparkling w
Even though they did not know why Lucas had chosen to stay hidden in Rivenesco, the Wyatt family’s comeback was sure to shock the world. Once the Wyatt family made its comeback, they did not need to worry about the Zimmer family anymore. They could also punish Dustin. They had suffered greatly over the past few days. “Lydia also asked whether you’ve found the treasure,” Margaret said. “We did! It was in the secret room, but Dustin took it! He killed Lord Barbenheim too!” Amara said darkly and gave a brief account of what had happened. Margaret frowned when she heard that. Then, she said coldly, “To think that boy would have the audacity to do such a thing! What an ignorant fool! The Wyatt family is now connected to the deaths of Lord Barbenheim and his son. That mysterious person is someone we can’t afford to offend, even if we make a comeback. Let’s not make this public just yet. Once I report this back to Central Harbor, I’ll ask Lydia to meet that person and push all the b
“Good news. Mom has called us to the Langley family’s main villa for dinner tonight!” David suddenly said during breakfast. “We’re to return to the main villa?” Simone and Camille were surprised. “Yes. Mom called us all.” David was really excited. It seemed like he had been looking forward to this for a long time. “We haven’t returned to the main villa for more than a year. At that time, since we suffered so many losses in the company, we felt so ashamed to return. The company is back on its feet, and we’re even working together with major companies in Somerton. We can finally return with our heads held high.” “Our relatives can’t talk sh*t about us anymore,” Camille said somewhat angrily. “What happened?” Dustin whispered to Simone. Simone sighed and told Dustin about the Langley family. It was one of the most prestigious families in Rivenesco. It ran many businesses. Margot Langley had three sons, and David was the youngest. Since he was an honest man, he was far les
“Who exactly is going to kill who?” Dustin glared at Christian murderously. Killing intent flashed briefly in his eyes. No one alive would dare to tell the King of Hades to crawl between their legs! Christian was just a member of a small, albeit prestigious family. He was ignorant. “Dustin…” When Simone saw that things were escalating, she ran over and grabbed Dustin’s arm. Then, she shook her head. She knew how Dustin was as a person, and she also knew how strong he was. Christian was just asking for it by doing this. But Christian was still her cousin. If something happened to him here, they would be cut off from the family entirely. “My father… puts a lot of importance on how the family views him. He has always wanted to be treated as someone of value,” Simone said pleadingly. Dustin’s murderous aura finally faded away. “David, Simone, this is the person you brought along with you? He attacked me! He has no respect for me!” Christian shouted from the ground. “Do yo
David smiled. “Dustin is our benefactor, and we’re pleased with him. If he’s willing to marry Simone, we’d be completely on board with that.” Margot’s face turned as dark as a thundercloud. “Simone, what do you think of this?” She looked at Simone. Simone shot a glance at Dustin, and her face turned red. “What my father said… is exactly what I was going to say.” Dustin’s composed face registered some surprise. During his time living with the Langley family, he and Simone only flirted occasionally. They never crossed that line. But David and Simone had just made their thoughts clear. He felt warmth in his heart, and his gaze grew sharp. If he was so highly valued in this family, he could not let them down. “You b*stard!” Margot slammed the cane on the floor again and snapped. “Are you stupid?! Has he cast a spell on you?! “He’s just a piece of trash! He’s completely alone with no one to support him! He’s nothing! With Simone’s beauty and qualifications, he isn’t wo
“Please come forward, Mr. Devon,” Margot called out to the right side of the living room. Soon, a young man walked forward with a smile. He had an air of nobility about him, and he was dressed head to toe in designer clothes. But his looks were only average. “This is the second son of Somerton’s Aquila family, Devon Aquila,” Margot said with a smile as she introduced Devon to Simone and her family. “I’m Devon Aquila. Hello, Simone, Mr. David, and Ms. Monique.” Devon greeted Simone and her family politely. He was very formal and appropriate. He then shot a glance at Simone, and his eyes gleamed. While Simone was not of high social standing, she had an ethereal grace and beauty about her that was something that most rich heiresses only hoped to compare to. She was very pretty. While she was not drop-dead gorgeous, she was close enough to captivate many people. Devon seldom met such beautiful women. Her attitude and looks were a perfect blend and made her incredibly attr
“Does Majestic Hotel sell Ronan wine?” Dustin asked as he held onto the wine glass. “We do. Our hotel has a stock of Ronan wine. A bottle sells for at least 100 thousand dollars. The most expensive bottle could be around 700 or 800 thousand dollars,” Tucker said immediately. “The expensive ones are priced that way because they’re vintage. The most valuable among them are priceless and are only very rarely brought out for special guests. Every time this happens, I must first give my approval.” Dustin smirked. “What a coincidence. My generous friend brought three of the hotel’s bottles of rare wine as a treat for this reunion.” Tucker’s face stiffened when he heard this. He turned around and glared at Cody. He asked, “Cody, what’s going on?” Cody was shaking all over. He looked scared. “Boss, I did not disobey your orders. These bottles of wine are not from our hotel cellars,” he said in fear. “Well, that’s strange.” Dustin smiled at Marco before looking at Cody agai
At that moment, everyone was taken aback, and their minds buzzed from the sudden realization. The ballroom was blanketed in silence as everyone froze. It took a long time for them to come back to themselves. Some of their mouths dropped wide open. They were unable to speak. Some of them were staring with eyes opened wide enough for their eyeballs to fall out. Some looked like idiots. Everyone was floored. What had they just witnessed? The owner of Majestic Hotel, an important person in his own right, came running after just one call from Dustin. Plus, he was being so respectful as he begged Dustin for forgiveness for his delay… What was going on? Was this simply some kind of hallucination? How could a pig farmer that none of them respected have such influence? In this short time, everyone was shocked to the core. Their hearts nearly stopped from the surprise. None of them were spared. They could not help but be taken aback. Even Devina, who had looked down on D
Everyone in the ballroom looked at Dustin in astonishment. Cody was the manager of Majestic Hotel and was giving Dustin a chance to back out of his claims. Yet, Dustin did not take it. Worse, he implied that Cody did not have the authority to call the shots. He even wanted to see the owner of Majestic Hotel. Who did Dustin think he was? He was only a low-class pig farmer. Did he have the right to meet such an important person? Dustin could no longer be called bold. He was nothing but a fool with an overinflated ego. “Hahaha… You have nothing to say to me?” Cody laughed in rage. “That’s the first time I’ve heard something like that. I wonder how important you are that I don’t have what it takes to talk to you.” “Mr. Siegal, don’t listen to him. He’s just a pig farmer,” someone said. “A pig farmer?” Cody’s face turned cold and frightening. “How dare a mere pig farmer come to Majestic Hotel and make such accusations? This isn’t somewhere you can cause trouble!” “Dust
“What did you say?” Marco was immediately incensed when he heard what Dustin said. Everyone looked at Dustin in shock. How could Dustin say that there was something wrong with the wine that cost 800 thousand dollars? That truly stunned a lot of people. “Are you saying that this wine is fake?” Marco’s gaze was forbidding, and his posture was interrogative. “It’s not fake wine or anything,” Dustin said. “If I’m not mistaken, this wine should be from a vineyard called Bijoux Vineyard in South Lovellia. Its retail price is 1,088 dollars per bottle. It’s quite a renowned wine in Lovellia.” “You’re saying this isn’t Ronan wine?” someone asked loudly. “It’s not.” Dustin shook his head. “It’s just wine from Bijoux Vineyard in Ronan wine bottles.” “Bullsh*t!” Marco roared with a dark face. “These are genuine bottles of Ronan wine. They cost more than 800 thousand dollars! Why would I fool my friends with local wine? You’re falsely accusing me, plain and simple! “Beside
Nearby, the guests let out a round of cheers. The reunion came to a climax. “The wine already costs 800 thousand dollars, and we’re having our reunion in Majestic Hotel, too! Marco must have spent at least a million dollars on this reunion! He’s so generous!” Devina said excitedly. She desperately wanted to throw herself at Marco. During the entire reunion, the only people who kept their cool had to be Dustin and Shawna. Since Marco had brought out the renowned Ronan wine, everyone wanted a taste of it. After all, it was a luxury they would never again have the chance to savor. Smiling, Marco went to each guest and poured them a glass of wine. He felt like he was floating when he got praise and thanks from them. Soon, a lot of people had their glasses full. They tasted the wine and enjoyed it. As they did, they praised and complimented him even more. They made it sound like the wine was the nectar of the gods. It did not even matter if they were discerning wine connoisse
“Let’s go, Dustin.” Shawna did not have the patience to stay put anymore. She called for Dustin and got ready to leave. “Forget it. Please forget what happened for my sake.” Marco played the mediator when he saw that Shawna was going to leave. “We’re all ex-classmates here, so we don’t need to make things so awkward. This man only said such things because he’s drunk. Shawna, please forgive him. However, you should also control your boyfriend. If he keeps attacking people, I won’t be able to protect him.” “Aw, don’t leave, Shawna. Stay and accompany me?” Devina went over and held onto Shawna and did not let her leave. Resigned, Shawna nodded. She sat back down. Dustin was quiet when he saw that. He went to sit beside Shawna. He could only follow her lead. Meanwhile, the man Dustin had pressed to the floor was quickly pulled away by a couple of people. Although some men still had ill intentions, especially after the first of them failed, no one dared to approach Shawna
Desmond’s hurried departure with Stephanie was nothing more than a quick distraction in the reunion. Not many people noticed it. After all, Marco was the most important person at this reunion. Thus, not many people focused on what was going on with Dustin. The guests were too busy trying to suck up to Marco, so they did not have time to bother with Shawna and Dustin for the time being. Although the men were all interested in Shawna, they were in public. Plus, Dustin was there as well. Thus, they could only put aside their desires for the moment. As such, the reunion went on. After a while, some people started to get drunk. When people got drunk, they got bolder. A man came over to Dustin and Shawna with a glass of wine. He was staggering. “Shawna, it’s been a long time. Why don’t we have a drink?” the man said loudly. Shawna frowned. She wanted to ignore this drunkard. “I don’t drink,” Shawna said coolly. “How can you say that? It’s so rare for us all to meet
“Did you say Shawna’s pig farmer boyfriend is the secret boss of your company? How could that be?” Stephanie really thought that she was mistaken. She could not believe that this was true. Dustin had been mocked the second he walked into the ballroom. How could he be the boss of a huge company? Was Shawna’s boyfriend not just a useless pig farmer? How had he suddenly become the boss of a huge company? What in the world was going on? Stephanie could not figure it out. She had wanted to shame Shawna and Dustin and calling Desmond over was supposed to insult them and highlight how awesome Stephanie was in comparison to Dustin. What was going on? Stephanie was going nuts. Even so, she had an idea of what it meant to be Desmond’s boss. Dustin was worlds more superior than they were, and they did not have what it took to mock him. “Stephanie, did you say something mean to him?” Desmond’s face darkened. He was terrified that she had offended Dustin. “She didn’t say anyth
“Desmond, over here!” Stephanie waved toward a man and gestured him over. She wanted to show off her boyfriend to Shawna and Dustin. That way, she would be able to hurt Shawna and feel even superior to her. It would fulfill her fragile ego. Dustin could not help but raise an eyebrow when he saw the man walking toward them. Desmond Weaving was familiar to him. Shawna noticed Desmond as well, and her expression turned strange. She remembered when all those important people had come to visit Dustin. Some of them had brought a retinue with them, and Desmond had been one of the underlings among them. Desmond had not even dared to look up at Dustin back then. Desmond had been too nervous and had tripped before the entire gathering. Everyone laughed at him. His superior had told him off viciously and even pressured him to apologize to Dustin. Yet, Dustin had not pursued the matter. Who would have thought that they would stumble into each other here? Desmond had been happ
