“Where should I go now?”Dustin looked up at the sky and sighed. He felt a little lost.Up until that point, he had done everything for the Wyatt family. Suddenly he had been kicked out of the family, so he did not know what to do.The beep of a car horn sounded right then.A vintage car stopped in front of the gates. A pretty woman in a long white dress got out of the car.Dustin knew her.Her name was Simone Langley, and he had saved her life once before.In truth, Amara had been facing an assassination attempt back then. After the assassin failed his attempt, Dustin had chased after him. The assassin had used Simone as a hostage when Dustin had saved her by killing him.“Mr. Fox, please come with me,” she said gently. Simone extended a hand to Dustin with a smile.“You saved my life once. Now that the Wyatt family has driven you out, why don’t you come join me in the Langley family? Although my family has fallen on hard times, we’ll still give you the best that we have!” Si
Elisa returned home with a temper.“Amara, that useless Dustin really didn’t take anything from the Wyatt family. The Langley family took him in,” she said huffily.“The Langley family?” Amara frowned.“Yes. The one called Simone Langley. She brought some gifts to the house that one time. But I sent her packing because you didn’t want to see her.”Amara thought about it.“I remember now. The company owned by the Langley family wanted a partnership, but I ignored them. I heard their company is on the brink of bankruptcy now…”“Yes! That’s the same Langley family.” Elisa nodded earnestly.“Their company’s going bankrupt. The family’s not going to survive much longer. I can’t believe they dared take that piece of trash in. It makes no sense!“That trash Dustin even claimed that the Wyatt family owes him. Isn’t that laughable?”Elisa’s sisters all reacted in different ways.Some mocked him, others felt disdainful, and yet others treated it with cool indifference.“Dustin was not
“Mr. Mortimer, for such a huge order… Are you sure you want to work with us?”David and Simone could hardly believe it.The Langley Group was on the verge of bankruptcy.It was almost a pipe dream to be able to work with the Excelsior Group.“Mr. Langley, is my visit to your doorstep not enough to show my sincerity?” Duke joked.“Of course not!” David waved a hand. “It’s just hard for us to believe that someone of your stature would come all the way here…”Duke glanced at Dustin calmly.“I heard about what happened to the Langley family. What you did was honorable. It’s worthy of respect. You refused to sell products that did not meet your expectations. You even took on huge debts just to make sure substandard goods weren’t released into the market. The Excelsior Group needs partners like you.”Duke’s words brought tears to David’s eyes.“Thank you… thank you…” He said the same thing over and over again.This order was exactly what the Langley family needed at the moment.“D
Amara walked into the Wyatt family villa with a long face.“Amara, what happened?” her sister asked.“The president of the Excelsior Group was with the Langley family and personally signed a contract with them,” Amara said coldly. “As for the Wyatt Group, we’ve been betrayed.”Amara said all that very calmly. Yet, a fierce rage simmered under the calm.“The Langley family is nothing! What does the Excelsior Group see in them?” The others found the situation hard to believe.“There’s no point in discussing this,” Amara said with a frown.“Remember, from this day forward, the Langley family is an enemy to the Wyatt Group. I have only one goal from now, and that is to utterly destroy the Langley family.”The other sisters were all quiet.Once Amara decided to do something, she stopped at nothing until it was done.That was the kind of power she had as the president of the Wyatt Group.“That insolent Dustin told me to get lost!” Amara’s voice was icy.The scene at the Langley family kept r
“Dustin Fox, you stole a check worth a million dollars from the Wyatt family. If you don’t give it back, I’ll break all your limbs!”Elijah snarled with a cruel smile.“A check?” Dustin frowned.He had not taken anything from the Wyatt family…“Actually, I was the one who took it,” Elijah said in contempt. “But the stupid women of the Wyatt family all believe you stole it, you useless trash!”He continued, “I’ll cripple you, then return with the check to prove my worth. Once I’ve gained their trust, Amara will be pleased enough to hand me the entire Wyatt Group… At that point, I’ll have everything I want at my fingertips!“As for you…” Elijah looked at Dustin mockingly. “You’re just a useless replacement. You should be honored that you’re at least useful as a stepping stone for me.”Dustin’s face turned cold.What a cunning plan!The Wyatt sisters had probably never even dreamed of the possibility that their little brother that they worked so hard to find would scheme against
Delia brought out her laptop and logged in to a website.“This website has the world’s top physicians on it. Everyone’s ranking is clearly stated here. Although I’m renowned in Rivenesco, there are only intermediate grade physicians here. There are still other ranks like the top grade physicians, titan grade physicians, and at the top, the Medical Sage, who is a miracle grade physician!”Delia clicked on the website as she spoke.“The veteran physicians we have in Lovellia are top grade at most. Only a few world-famous ones can be considered titan grade physicians…“As for the Medical Sage, the world only has one! That’s my teacher, the Medical Sage, Foxtin!”Delia lit up when she mentioned her teacher’s name. She felt deeply honored and incredibly proud of that!Thinking back on how she had become Foxtin’s student, Delia felt like it was something from a dream.Back then, she had been a newly graduated medical intern. She had limited knowledge about many things.When she had j
In the end, Elijah could not stand the pain anymore and passed out.The five Wyatt sisters finally had some peace.“You all take good care of him. He should feel a little better tomorrow,” Delia said. “I’ll go contact some other renowned physicians.”They could not put their hopes on Delia anymore.The unconscious Elijah was at least quiet at the moment.The sisters watched over him throughout the night. They thought that the worst was over and planned to get some rest in the morning.But when Elijah suddenly woke up, he started screaming in pain again.The five Wyatt sisters were mentally and physically exhausted. They were on the verge of collapse.“It’s that useless Dustin’s fault!” Elisa said hatefully. “He was the one who hurt Eli this way. We can’t let him off so easily!”“He was the one who hurt Eli, so he must know how to fix him.”As she said that, Elisa sprang up. She was ready to go visit him.“Amara, I want to go to the Langley family again,” she said decisively.
“Simone, are you alright?”Dustin gently pressed a warm cloth to Simone’s face and asked in concern.Simone looked at him with tenderness.“I’m fine. You should check on Miss Elisa…” she whispered as she looked at Elisa.Elisa had been slapped twice, and both her cheeks were swollen. She was in far worse shape than her.“She’s just an outsider. Why should I bother about her? I might go as far as to say that the slap wasn’t nearly hard enough,” said Dustin coldly.Simone opened her mouth but did not say anything.The Wyatt family had kicked Dustin out of the family first. They had been so cruel to him, so she supported Dustin.Elisa covered her face and stood by the window as she stared outside.She could hear their conversation.When she heard Dustin calling her an outsider, she felt furious.He used to be a servant of the Wyatt family. How dare he act like he was someone important?“Ungrateful brat! That b*stard!” she cursed at him.She vowed to take her revenge for the s
The middle-aged man’s face immediately changed, and he shouted, “What did you say?!” Alex was shocked by his reaction. He felt nervous. He was not sure what had gone wrong. “You kicked Mr. Fox out? How dare you treat him like that?! You… Argh!” The man was furious, and his face twisted in anger. Alex was scared by his reaction. He did not understand why the representatives of the Swansong Group were so upset about Dustin being replaced. After all, Dustin was just the surviving descendant of the Fox family. Why would such a small thing make such important people so angry? What was Dustin even worth? “Please calm down,” Alex said humbly. “I’m the highest-ranking member of the third-generation descendants of the Yeager family. I’m here to sign the contract with you in complete sincerity.” “You?” The man looked at Alex coldly and sneered. “Who are you? Do you really think you can even talk to me?” “I…” Alex was left speechless. He could see how much the man looked down
The sky was gray today, with light rain. But no matter how bad the weather was, the Yeager family was too excited to care. Everyone had gathered together, and their faces were full of joy and excitement. Today, they were signing a contract with the Swansong Group. Alex held the contract proudly. Zack patted Alex’s shoulder and said hopefully, “Alex, our family’s future depends on you!” Everyone looked at Alex. This deal was a huge opportunity for the Yeager family. It could make them twice as powerful. “Grandpa, don’t worry! I won’t let anyone down. I’ll make sure everything goes smoothly!” Alex promised confidently. He was overjoyed and had been feeling great since yesterday. After all, he had taken this opportunity and credit away from Dustin. Just thinking about how Dustin had no choice but to accept it made Alex happier. “It’s just signing a contract. How hard can it be?” Alex was not worried at all. Dustin had already done all the negotiations. All Alex neede
“Alex, I’m putting you in charge of the Mayhill development project. Make sure you handle it well.” Zack publicly announced that Alex would be in charge of the big project. It was no surprise, as Alex was his favorite grandson. “Got it, Grandpa. Don’t worry, I’ll do it right and won’t let you down!” Alex patted his chest and promised. He was thrilled. He did not expect Dustin’s hard work to end up benefiting him. It was a huge surprise. The more he saw Dustin’s angry face, the happier he felt. The Yeager family members watched Dustin with cold eyes and gloated. Alex was happy and looked at Dustin with mockery. “This isn’t fair!” Patricia yelled. “Why should Alex take the credit for a deal Dustin made? Aren’t you ashamed of yourselves?” “Enough!” Zack shouted. “Patricia, know your place! How dare you speak like that to your elders?” someone yelled at her. “Patricia, the Yeager family has done a lot for you and your mom over the years. You should be more respectful
‘Who would have thought this loser could get so lucky? Damn it! How am I supposed to deal with him now?’ Alex thought. His face darkened in anger. He was the most upset person there. Patricia’s uncle and aunt, Evan and Yvonne, were also unhappy. They looked really upset. Dustin’s surprising success meant their plan had failed. They had hoped to get rid of Dustin and use their daughter to snag a rich husband, but that was ruined. Still, getting a 1-billion-dollar contract should bring some benefits, so it was not a total loss. “Dustin, you’re incredible!” Patricia said with admiration as she walked over to him. ‘After this, he won’t be looked down on in the Yeager family anymore,’ she thought. Everyone looked at Zack and waited for him to speak. Zack flipped through the contract a few more times before looking at Dustin. “Good job. This project is great for us,” Zack said with approval. “I checked the contract. The Mayhill development is based on the Yeager family’
“1 billion?” Alex’s eyes widened in shock as he repeated the number. He was not the only one. Everyone in the Yeager family was just as shocked. They were so surprised that they could hardly believe it. They had always looked down on Dustin, yet he had just secured a 1-billion-dollar deal. It was unbelievable. The dramatic turnaround was so unexpected that they could not process it right away. “1 billion? Someone invested 1 billion in you, and there is no repayment required?” Zack held the contract tightly and read it over and over again. He was afraid he was seeing things. His shock, confusion, and disbelief were so overwhelming that he lost his usual composure. “Did someone really invest 1 billion in Dustin?” Patricia jumped up from her seat and rushed over to check the contract in Zack’s hands. She was just as stunned. When she saw the clear terms of the contract, she could not help but feel overwhelmed. It took her a while to calm down. Dustin had actually achie
All the Yeager family members stared at Dustin and waited for him to continue. If he were just bragging, he would have to pay for what he said. ‘Dustin, oh Dustin, I didn’t expect you to paint yourself into a corner like this. You saved me the trouble,’ Alex thought happily. He was sure that Dustin would not be able to prove anything, and what awaited him would be Zack’s anger and the harsh rejection from the family. Patricia would also be dragged into this, and soon, both of them would be kicked out of the family. ‘When the time comes, I’ll do whatever it takes to torment and kill you,’ Alex thought as he stared at Dustin. He was already imagining the scenes in his mind. With everyone watching, Dustin remained calm. Not a hint of panic showed on his face. “You’ve all heard about Mayhill Peony Garden, right?” Dustin calmly asked. “Mayhill Peony Garden?” Everyone was briefly stunned. It had caused a lot of buzz recently. Mayhill Peony Garden was being called a miracle,
“The family entrusted you with the property to test your abilities, but instead of taking it seriously, you gave up completely. Do you even care about the family? Do you still respect me as the head of this household?” Zack’s stern rebuke was sharp as a blade and cut straight at Patricia. “Grandfather, I didn’t…” Patricia felt so helpless. She tried to explain, but the words would not come. The family had given her a pig farm with no value, yet they were using it as an excuse to scold her. How could this not feel like a personal attack? What fairness was there in this? Did the Yeager family even consider her part of the family anymore? “Then, where are the results? Show everyone what you’ve accomplished,” Zack’s voice rose. Patricia’s throat closed up. She could not utter a single word. How was she supposed to produce results from such a rundown place? Alex cheered internally as he watched her in distress. This was exactly what he wanted. While he basked in th
The days passed quietly, and Dustin did not bother doing much. Every day, he casually fed a few piglets at the farm and enjoyed a leisurely life. Patricia watched silently and often sighed to herself. She spent her days racking her brain to figure out how to break free from this predicament. But the starting point was too low, and no solutions came to mind. ‘At least get through this month. Spending this time with Dustin is something, at least…’ she thought gloomily. Dustin noticed her troubled state but did not say much to comfort her. He wanted to observe how long Patricia could hold out in adversity before deciding how much help he should offer her. If she lacked perseverance and determination, Dustin would only help resolve her immediate problems and ensure she lived comfortably in the future. But if she proved herself resilient, he would give her a platform big enough to showcase her talents fully. A week flew by in the blink of an eye. One day, they rec
“Have you heard? Something incredible just happened on Mayhill!” Overnight, news of Mayhill’s transformation spread like wildfire. By the next day, nearly everyone in Hattan was talking about it. The mountain of peonies became an instant sensation. A once-ordinary mountain had turned into a floral paradise and was blanketed in vibrant peonies in a single day. It was a sight so stunning that it defied convention! “I saw the pictures. Every inch of the mountain is covered in peonies! It’s unreal! I’m getting my friends together to go see it in person...” “And it’s not just any peonies! Some of them are incredibly rare. They’re flowers you’d never normally see, yet they’re all blooming on Mayhill!” “How is this even possible? Who on earth has the money to pull something like this off? To plant an entire mountain’s worth of peonies in a single day? The amount of manpower and resources needed is unimaginable!” Hattan was abuzz with speculation and awe. It was a miracl
