Chapter 20

Author: Autumn Rain
“The present me doesn’t owe anything to anyone of the Wyatt family.”

After saying that, Dustin boldly walked out of the villa.

This way, he was bringing the past to a close. As for what came next, those would be dealt with as they came.

Lydia was silent as she quietly watched Dustin leave.

“Mother, Dustin has become too arrogant! We can’t let him go!”

“That’s right! Eli is still suffering, and only Dustin can treat him!”

“We should lock him up and torture him!”

The Wyatt sisters complained once Dustin left.

“Are you trying to teach me how to make decisions?” Lydia asked with a cold face.

The sisters immediately fell silent.

Lydia clapped once.

There was a whoosh of air, and a black shadow materialized. The man knelt on one knee before Lydia.

“Shadow One, ready for orders!” the man said respectfully.

“Shadow!”

The Wyatt sisters were shocked.

This was a secret they had only heard about. The Shadows were the Wyatt family’s secret force. They had never seen t

    The next few days passed peacefully. It was a rare thing for Dustin to enjoy such calm days. No one from the Wyatt family came to bother him. Although he did not know what the Wyatt family was planning, he thought they might be too busy dealing with Elijah at the moment to have time for him. Dustin was happy to enjoy his free, undisturbed time. That day, he accompanied Simone as she spent the entire day running some errands. The Langley Group had made a comeback with the Excelsior Group’s help. However, there were many tasks that required the Langley family’s special attention. Simone was currently the company’s president. As she tended to the company’s business, she naturally completed every task meticulously. Dustin spent every day with her running about, but he enjoyed it. In the past, Dustin had gotten used to getting hurt and injured as he risked his life every day for the Wyatt family. In contrast, this peaceful new life allowed him to relax. After a busy day…

    The script did not go that way. Bella was simply taking out her frustrations on Camille to get back at Dustin.Camille’s eyes welled up with tears, and Bella was already raising her hand for another slap.Before the slap could land, Dustin caught Bella’s hand.“How dare you, Dustin Fox? This filming studio is under the protection of the Verdant Gang’s Harold Grant!” Bella shouted.The Verdant Gang was a notorious organization in the southern region of Lovellia.It was bigger and more powerful than Rivenesco’s own Serpentine Gang. The Verdant Gang’s Harold Grant was a well-known person in the underworld. His name had influence in both legal and underground circles.Bella thought that this would scare Dustin. However, he seemed unfazed by it.“Come here, Camille,” he said.“Dustin, I…” Camille said softly.“Bella slapped you, and now, I want you to slap her back!” The words stunned everyone on the scene.“Does she dare?” Bella snickered. She looked at Dustin mockingly. “She

    “Hahaha!” Bella laughed like she had just heard the world’s greatest joke.“Other than this show, ‘Lady Covey’s Diaries,’ my schedule is fully booked for the next two years. Numerous investors and directors are begging me to take their scripts, and big companies are offering high pay for me to endorse their products... And yet, you’re telling me my career ends here?“Oh, Dustin….You really are delusional. I can’t believe you can even say such a thing.”Bella glanced at Camille and chuckled mockingly.“With just one word from me, this little girl won’t get a spot in any crew. She won’t even be able to land a background role, let alone rise to fame. So, tell me, how is she supposed to make it big?”When she heard that, Camille tensed up. She was very worried.Dustin did not say anything more.He let go of Bella’s hand and turned around. He ushered Camille out of the filming studio.“Camille, what’s so good about this show? You shouldn’t act on it anymore. I’ll get you another sho

    A luxurious, spacious villa was located at the lakeside with a beautiful view of the surroundings and fully equipped with amenities.This was the private property of Harold Grant, a top and renowned member of the Verdant Gang.Harold was famous among gangsters.Many people still talked about his past achievements.Harold was bald. At the moment, he was fishing in the lake outside the villa.His phone rang.He picked it up, glanced at it, and accepted the call.“Miss Bella, this is the first time that you’ve called me,” he said with a smile.“Mr. Grant, something has happened in the filming studio in Rivenesco,” Bella said.She told him about the chaos that had occurred in the filming studio.Harold frowned as he listened.“Dustin Fox, the abandoned son of the Wyatt family…” His face darkened. “He hurt a dozen members of the Verdant Gang?”“Mr. Grant, if you plan to punish Dustin in any way, the Wyatt family will not interfere,” said Bella as she made her stand clear.After

    He was quite brave because he dared to come to the river and face two hundred elites alone.“Why are you here, Verdant Gang?” Dustin put down the flute and asked.“We’re here to kill you,” Harold said briskly.“Anyone who offends the Verdant Gang shall be killed without mercy!”“That makes sense,” Dustin muttered to himself.“What makes sense?” Harold frowned.“That you won’t die in vain,” Dustin said indifferently.“Haha…” Harold stood on the ship and laughed. He looked at Dustin scornfully.Did he want to kill two hundred people alone?They were the elites of the Verdant Gang.How arrogant was he to say such things?How reckless was he to think he was that capable?!After a few laughs, Harold suppressed his glee, and his face turned cold.“You’re the one who’s going to die here,” he said in a chilling tone.Dustin smiled softly.With a light push of his feet, he jumped from the boat. Two seconds later, he landed on the deck of the ship.He shot forward like a nuclea

    Bella could not understand.Harold from the Verdant Gang had taken two hundred people and rushed to Rivenesco on a ship. How could the ship simply sink?How could so many people disappear suddenly?There had been shipwrecks in the wide river outside Rivenesco, but she had never heard of such a huge incident.“What does the Verdant Gang say about this?” Bella asked a member of the Verdant Gang.“Our leader has ordered a full investigation. We are doing our best to look for them. We must find them no matter what!”Bella frowned.Harold was an investor in Lady Covey’s Diaries. If something had happened to him, could the filming still continue? Bella felt uncertain.She did not understand how Dustin was so lucky.Alvin had led the Blackguard to look for Dustin and had gone missing too. There had been no news about them.When Harold led two hundred elites of the Verdant Gang to Rivenesco on a ship, they disappeared together with the ship.She did not think that Dustin could do

    She was dropped from all the projects… How was that possible?“Just this morning, the news came in. The investors of the other scripts you accepted sent letters of cancellation and termination of the contract at the same time. It was as though there was some sort of unanimous agreement between them…”Bella’s face darkened.They terminated the contract at the same time?She did not understand why.Were these not the same people who had begged her to work in their films? What was wrong with them?Did they forget how desperate they had been?“Where’s the manager? Where’s my manager?! Why am I only hearing about something this big now?” Bella was furious.“The manager left behind just a resignation letter...” The assistant passed her the letter.Bella’s eyes widened in disbelief.Her manager was a top agent in the industry.When she was just an extra on the filing sets, this particular manager suddenly approached her. She had claimed that she saw potential in Bella and wanted

    One day, two days, and three days passed… Three days had already passed.Bella did not get any calls from the directors or investors.She felt like she was going crazy.Why did her situation flip overnight?What was the problem?“Bella…” The assistant walked into the dressing room. “What? Is there good news?” Bella immediately perked up.The assistant sighed, and Bella’s face stiffened.“Bella, I think you should check out today’s headlines.”Bella frowned. She immediately opened her phone to check the news.[Eight well-known companies have jointly issued a statement to terminate their cooperation with actress Bella Wyatt and are looking for another spokesperson!][Top actress is rumored to have ties to the underworld. She’s suspected to be a gangster’s mistress.][Major film crews terminate their contracts. Bella Wyatt may be out of work.]…Several headlines were about Bella.Bella’s face darkened.

    In the past, Dustin could only stand beside Patricia since he was not even offered a seat. After a few minutes, Dustin finally put his phone down. “What can I do for you?” Dustin asked despite knowing why they had come here. “Dustin, you’re impressive! I don’t know how you earned the Swansong Group’s approval. They value you so much… even more than us,” Zack said with a smile. “We underestimated you.” “Well, now you should see me differently,” Dustin said with a smile. “I do see you differently now,” Zack said with a meaningful look. Dustin just smiled and did not respond. “I’ll cut to the chase. Since the Swansong Group only wants you, you’re the only one who can handle this project. I’ll give you back all the authority. Go sign the contract with them,” Zack said seriously. But Dustin shook his head. “What do you want? Just say it,” Zack said straightforwardly. “I brought this great project to the Yeager family, but I got no credit and lost all my rights. Honestly,

    Bam! In the Yeager family villa’s living room, Zack angrily threw a teacup on the floor and shattered it. Alex, who was kneeling, flinched in fear. “Did Dustin really say that?” Zack asked Alex darkly. “Absolutely!” Alex quickly said. “Grandpa, I sincerely asked Dustin to come back. I even apologized to him, but he completely ignored it. He cursed us and said that even if you went to ask him personally, he’d still have to think about whether or not to come back.” Alex’s exaggerated words made the Yeager family members angry. “He’s gone too far this time! Just because of a little luck, he thinks he’s all that! Hmph! What an ungrateful person!” “He is just someone with no family or status! How dare he act so arrogant with us! He’s ungrateful!” “A clueless person like him should just disappear!” Everyone shouted angrily. After all the shouting, everyone went quiet. What could they do? The success of the 1-billion-dollar project was at stake. What could they really do t

    “Are you serious?” Patricia’s eyes widened in surprise. She could hardly believe it. Dustin was right. The Yeager family did send someone to take him back. Of all the people, Alex, who hated them the most, had to swallow his pride and come in person. What was going on? Patricia was shocked but also a little flattered. She glanced at Dustin, who was still focused on his game. Had he really seen this coming? ‘There’s no way the elders would ever lower themselves to ask Dustin to come back. Something must have happened,’ she thought. Being quick-witted, she quickly sensed that there was more to the story. “Come in.” She let Alex step inside. Alex looked at Dustin, but Dustin kept playing his game without even glancing at him. It was obvious he was ignoring him. Alex was furious, but no matter how much he hated this, he had to hold it in. “Dustin, Grandpa wants me to tell you that you’re getting the project back. He wants you to go to Mayhill and sign the contract ri

    After leaving Mayhill, Zack angrily slammed his cane on the ground. The Yeager family stood silently. They were too afraid to speak. As the patriarch of the family, Zack was utterly humiliated today. The way the representatives of the Swansong Group treated him crushed his dignity. What hurt even more was that he could not even argue back. And all of this was because of Dustin. He was someone they had always ignored and looked down on. The Yeager family members were still in shock. They struggled to understand how Dustin had so much power. Zack shook with anger and said coldly, “Dustin, you sure are something!” He never imagined Dustin could cause him so much trouble. He had started to see Dustin in a new light. “Dad, should we go find Dustin?” someone asked cautiously. “Of course…” Zack raised an eyebrow and said, “We can’t give up on this project. “As for Dustin, he just got lucky and managed to win over the Swansong Group. He isn’t that important. We can give the

    “Yes, that is me.” Zack lowered his head. He did not dare act pridefully in front of such an important person. “I sincerely apologize. My grandson offended you earlier and made you upset. That’s why I brought my family here to apologize,” Zack said carefully. “I also wanted to discuss the contract.” “You? Discuss the contract?” The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow. “Yes, I, Zack Yeager, patriarch of the Yeager family, will personally discuss it with you,” Zack said. The man suddenly let out a cold chuckle and looked at Zack with a mocking gaze. “Zack, right? Who do you think you are? Do you really think you’re worthy of talking to me?” The Yeager family members’ faces changed instantly upon hearing his words. No one expected such blatant disrespect. They were shocked and confused. Zack had shown up personally, but the representatives of the Swansong Group still did not take them seriously. They treated Zack like he was nothing. The representatives of the Swansong

    The Yeager family members gathered in the living room. “By now, Alex should have signed the contract with the Swansong Group,” Damien said. “If everything goes well, our family’s future will be brighter than ever! Partnering with the Swansong Group is a huge opportunity,” Zack said with a smile. “Yeah, I can’t believe we got this lucky!” Everyone was happy and excited for what was ahead. Thud! Thud! Suddenly, a muddy figure burst in from outside and fell to the floor. “Who are you?” The Yeager family members jumped in shock. When they saw who it was, their faces were filled with surprise. “Alex? Why do you look like this? What happened?” Zack asked. “Grandpa…” Alex called out, then suddenly started crying. Zack frowned. He sensed bad news. “Stop crying! Tell me what happened! What about the contract? Did you sign it?” “Grandpa, the Swansong Group refused to sign it with me. They looked down on me and said I wasn’t worthy,” Alex said. He felt humiliated. “Wha

    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
