For a time, no one dared to say anything.

“Good!” Margot was satisfied and was about to seal the deal.

“I object,” Dustin said.

“You?” Margot looked at him, and her face darkened. “Who do you think you are? You have no place to speak here.”

“Shut up! Pick up the money on the floor and leave!” Christian shooed him away in annoyance.

“You’re not satisfied with three million dollars and want to marry Simone anyway? Dream on! You’re not even worthy of dusting Mr. Devon’s shoes, and you dare try to steal Simone from him?”

Devon scowled. He looked at Dustin and frowned.

“I heard that you saved Simone’s life once. If you’re not satisfied with three million, I can give you ten. Stop bothering her from now on, or you’ll pay for it.” He took out a checkbook, scribbled down a figure, and signed it. Then, he threw the check at Dustin.

To him, the problems that could be solved with money were no big deal at all.

It was just ten million, anyway. He would just treat it as charity to

    “Are you saying that you called the president of the Excelsior Group to help the Langley Group?” asked Dustin with a teasing tone as he stared fixedly at Devon. Devon’s face froze. But after some thought, he assumed that Dustin would not know the president of the Excelsior Group personally. Feeling at ease, he said, “Yes! I owe him a huge favor since he agreed to help the Langley Group!” Dustin laughed and said, “Then, I’ll have to ask him myself if that’s truly the case…” Everyone was shocked. “You know the president of the Excelsior Group? You’re lying!” Christian was the first to mock Dustin. “Who do you think you are? The president of the Excelsior Group is someone of high social status. You can’t possibly know him. You say you want to ask him? You act like you’re so amazing. Your nose grows longer by the second because of your lies!” “Kid, your lie is far too obvious this time. You should be humble instead,” Derek growled. “You lie to make yourself look good, but you

    Devon did not know why the senior members of his family were so wary of the Mortimer family, but he did not have the courage to defy them. “It seems I’ll have to visit the Aquila family myself and ask when I became their subordinate…” Duke Mortimer said coldly. Devon’s face drained of all color. If Duke really went to the Aquila family, he would surely be punished. The Langley family wore odd expressions. The truth was out. Devon was the one who had lied. He claimed credit for what he did not do. If that was the case, who had managed to get Duke to work with David’s family? Margot and the others could not help but look at Dustin. Could it be him? But Dustin was supposed to be a piece of trash that had been thrown out of the Wyatt family. If he had such power, would he have been kicked out? After saying that, Duke hung up. It seemed like he was really going to the Aquila family. Everyone fell silent. An awkward air settled over all of them. “It doesn’t seem lik

    It was not until Devon Aquila had been thrown out of the Langley house for a good while that the Langley family members snapped out of their shock. Their faces turned grim. Devon was the second son of the Aquila family. In Margot’s eyes, he was a genuinely rich son-in-law who could help the Langley family fulfill their dreams of reaching a higher social standing. But Dustin had ruined it all! Margot was furious, but she was also scared of the Hell Guard, so she did not dare be too hostile to Dustin. Instead, she turned her anger on Simone and her family. “Simone, I’m going to ask you this just once. Are you going to marry Devon or not?” she asked loudly. “If you marry him, you’ll still be part of this family and will be treated right. You’ll be seen as someone who brought us great success and will be treated as an important member of the family. “But if you insist on protecting that worthless trash, refuse to consider whether we rise or fall, and insist on getting on the

    “From now on, you will have nothing to do with us. Get out of my sight now!” Margot roared. “The Langley Group also belongs to us. You are to return it all to us!” “Fine!” David said loudly. The Langley Group had been on the verge of bankruptcy, and they were the reason it had started to gather some profit. Since business was good for the company again and the main family wanted it back, they were not going to insist on keeping it. They were going to give it up. “Very well. I’d like to see how your family will survive without the Langley Group!” Margot said in a huff. “We’re able-bodied adults. We won’t starve,” they shot back. The Langley family members were furious and yelled at them to leave. Dustin let out a chuckle. “Why are you laughing, boy?” The Langley family was already seething, and they hated Dustin the most. Their rage burned even more when they glared at him. “I’m laughing at you for being stupid!” Dustin said mockingly. “You might have disowned David an

    This was the third day since Simone and her family had been disowned. They handed over all the documents of the Langley Group to the main Langley family and also completed the transfer procedures. The Langley Group was thus under the main family’s control once more. Derek and Christian happily drove over to the Langley Group in the morning. Margot told them that the Langley Group was to be under their jurisdiction from this point onward. The Langley Group was currently a highly profitable asset. In the past, it was on the verge of bankruptcy, and everyone in the family avoided it. That was why it was given to David in the first place. However, since they had completed their order with the Excelsior Group, the company had started profiting again. It also received a lot of orders and trade deals. It had a great influence compared to other material manufacturing companies in Rivenesco. Derek and Christian did not need to do anything to enjoy the fruits of the company’s profits

    “What did you just say?” “I just got some calls, and all of our collaborators have canceled their orders with us!” Derek’s eyes widened, and he felt increasingly anxious. They had only just taken over, but they were running into such huge problems. The Langley Group had no employees and no orders. How were they supposed to run the company? How could they get any money from it? How were they going to explain themselves to Margot? While they felt lost and anxious, someone called them. “Derek, Christian, what’s going on?” Margot’s enraged voice came through from the other end of the phone. “We don’t know either…” Derek pulled a long face. Who knew that David and Simone had such a strong influence? “Enough talk! Come home now!” Margot said urgently. Derek and Christian did not understand what was going on, so they went back. Once they arrived in the living room, they found that everyone had a sour look on their faces. “Tell them.” Margot sighed. “Numerous Serpen

    Another two days passed. The atmosphere in the Langley family’s main villa was grim. The core family members gathered together, but they were all silent. The Langley family’s situation grew more dreadful day after day. Every single day, they suffered great losses. No one could remain calm anymore. Even the obstinate Margot felt shaken. Today, they had gathered together to come up with a solution. But most of them were silent right from the start. Finally, someone spoke to break the silence. “Grandma, should we ask David and his family to come back?” Christian asked tentatively. Margot’s face darkened. She had disowned David and his family. It had only been a few days since. If she called them back, she would be eating her own words. Her reputation and pride would suffer a blow, and she would be stuck in a morbid conundrum. But was there a better plan? Margot mulled over this for a while before she looked at Derek and Christian. “Why don’t you go and visit David

    Dustin was just a piece of trash from the Wyatt family, and he was insulting him. It felt horrible. But he could do nothing about it. Derek could only go back to the Langley family and pass on the message. “What? He wants me to go?” When Margot heard that, she was so furious that she shot to her feet. She slammed the cane so hard on the floor that it almost created a hole. “The trash from the Wyatt family is insulting us while he lives under David’s roof. Not only did he hit Christian once again, but he was also very aggressive! He’s so annoying!” Derek said angrily. Margot’s face darkened. She did not want to ask David to come back. First, she could not set aside her pride and do something like that. Second, she did not want to let Dustin have his way. “Mom, what will you do?” asked Derek and sighed. Everyone looked at Margot. Their entire family’s fate was in her hands. Margot’s face changed rapidly. In the end, her expression changed to one of resignation. “Every

    With a word, Dustin had banished the manager of Majestic Hotel. This made Shawna’s ex-classmates go quiet. This was the kind of influence only a very important person could have. It was the kind of thing that normal people could not even imagine. The ballroom was silent for a long while as no one dared to speak. After a long while, a man said hesitantly, “I found it strange. How could our amazing campus belle get just anyone as a boyfriend? Indeed, she found an exceptional person.” “Forget exceptional. He’s practically a god among men!” someone else said teasingly. “Shawna is truly an impeccable person and only an awe-inspiring one like Dustin can be her match. We’re hardly worthy of the same…” The guests all laughed and joked as they praised them. They were thinking of getting closer to Shawna in this way and getting some perks out of it. “Shawna, we were all fooled by Marco’s words just now. That’s why we said such awful things. We hope you can be gracious and forg

    “We trusted you, but you tricked us! That’s infuriating! You made us seem so mean, too.” The surrounding guests all started laying in on Marco. They looked disdainful and no longer treated Marco like their respected class president. They all took turns to lecture him. They wanted to make it clear that they had nothing to do with Marco and were innocent in this matter. Dustin, Shawna’s “pig farmer” boyfriend, was someone that even the owner of Majestic Hotel had to treat with respect. How could any of them offend such a person? In the blink of an eye, Marco turned from an admired and respected person into someone his ex-classmates hated. The guests had done a full 180. It was like Marco had fallen from heaven right into the pits of hell. “Marco, I didn’t realize you had such a fragile ego. You tricked everyone here,” Devina said angrily. “I knew that Dustin was never that sort of person. I knew you were framing him from the start!” Dustin put on a mocking smile at that.

    “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
