Chapter 378

Author: Autumn Rain
“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?

    “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’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

    “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

    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

    “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

    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

    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

    “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

    “How did they get poisoned? So many people at that! “What should we do? Dr. Campbell, if you don’t have a solution, how will we save these patients?“Could it be that… Peace Hospital is coming to an end?” Simone was very anxious. She could not handle this situation. She was unable to do anything about it.“Miss Simone, why are you panicking?” Pedro asked with an amused expression. “This situation is desperate. How can I not panic? But Dr. Campbell, why are you so calm?” Simone looked very worried.“The strange poison is scary, and I also can’t do anything at the moment, but this isn’t a very difficult situation for the hospital.”“Even when you don’t have the solution? How is this not a difficult situation? Can we still count on other people?” Simone asked. “Where’s Mr. Fox? Please ask him to come here,” Pedro said.Simone felt puzzled. If even the top physician was helpless. What could Dustin do? She noticed that the noble and reputable Dr. Campbell was very polite wh

    On the way back, everyone from the Langley family was in a bad mood. They initially went to watch a farce, but they had instead witnessed an interesting scene. No one could understand why so many famous physicians rushed to join Dustin’s small, private hospital when it was about to go bankrupt. What was even more incredulous was that they did not even want to be paid. Was it not the biggest joke ever? It did not make any sense at all. But one thing was for sure: this hospital would make a comeback. It would be a huge threat to Goodwill Hospital of the Langley family, and they did not have much of a competitive edge in this. “I wonder why they are so lucky! Are the famous physicians out of their minds?” “Are we just going to sit still and do nothing? Are we not running our hospital anymore?” Everyone was in a bad mood, and some people started complaining. “Don’t worry, there are tons of ways to bring down a hospital,” someone said meaningfully. … Today, Simone sat

    However, when Pedro heard all this, he burst into laughter. “Your strength of character is priceless. Don’t worry. We did not come here because of money. Our salary is not important. We don’t mind even if we aren’t paid a cent. Just don’t let us go to work hungry.” Once again, Simone could not believe her ears. These physicians did not even care about getting a decent salary! In reality, any hospital would welcome these physicians with open arms and offer exorbitant salaries as long as they were willing to work for them. “How is this possible? They don’t even want a salary!” The media outlets were all taken aback. Simone’s family exchanged puzzled glances. This was a miracle! It was as if they were in a dream. “As for the hospital’s equipment, that’s not a problem at all,” Pedro said. He told some people to open the trunks of the cars. The trunks of the cars were filled with the latest medical equipment and tools. “We’ve brought the latest medical equipment. I

    After dealing with Clarence, Pedro looked at Simone and Dustin. “Hello, Miss Simone,” Pedro said with a smile and put out his hand to shake Simone’s. Simone’s eyes went wide, and she was stunned. Pedro was a legendary person, a majestic grade physician, and a true national treasure of Lovellia. Not only did a person like that know her name, but he was also reaching out to shake hands with her! When Clarence had tried to shake hands with Pedro, he had not even looked at the man. Stunned by the attention she was getting, Simone could not react for a while. She was frozen in place. “Simone!” Excited, Monique quickly shook Simone. As if she had just woken up from a dream, Simone quickly shook hands with Pedro. “H-Hello, Dr. Campbell. I’m simply too excited. I hope you can excuse my actions.” Pedro was very kind and reassured Simone. He told her there was no need to be so nervous. “Miss Simone, these others and I are all here to join Peace Hospital. I hope you’ll h

    Would Dustin and Simone be able to handle this? Simone panicked a little. For a moment, she was unable to handle the questioning of the media and the crowd. “I don’t have a medical license, but I don’t plan on seeing patients at Peace Hospital,” Dustin announced loudly. “As for the treatment of Mr. Vance, I only treated him because the family begged me to.” “Yeah, right! I’m sure that’s what happened! Since you’re not seeing patients and there are very few physicians at this hospital, you might as well close it down!” Clarence said with a laugh. “The hospital will not close its doors. We do not lack physicians.” “You don’t lack physicians? Do you think we’re all blind? Or did you come up with a bunch of quacks without medical licenses from somewhere?” A ripple of laughter rose from the crowd. Clarence was elated. He felt that he had thoroughly beaten Dustin and Simone. Dustin scoffed and looked at the street behind the crowd. There was the blare of car horns as

    “The miracle doctor who cured Germaine Vance is here!” When Dustin and Simone showed up, the crowd immediately surged toward them. “There are so many people!” Simone was a little shocked. In the past three days, Simone had secretly been feeding Dustin’s reputation as a miracle doctor and pushing it all across Hattan. Even so, she had never expected it would garner such a huge response. “There are many patients, too. This is a good thing.” Everything was progressing nicely. “Will Dustin be able to handle so many patients?” David asked. Simone frowned. Dustin was not a robot. There was no way he could spend all day and all night just seeing patients. “Besides, we can’t take any patients other than the ones here for neurological issues because we don’t have any other physicians. In a few days, the hospital will be empty again.” With that, Simone’s mood was ruined again. The members of the main Langley family had arrived as well. The crowd at the entrance to P

    “That hospital is an empty shell now. Let’s see how they make a comeback like this. I’m afraid just trying to limit the losses will be harder than fighting God!” As the main branch of the Langley family mocked Dustin, news about Germaine Vance spread. When they heard about what happened, they all shut up. They were stunned to the core. “Dustin saved the Vance family’s patriarch?” They all jumped up as though they had been struck by lightning. “How is that possible? Even Clarence didn’t know what his condition was. How could he have cured Germaine just like that?” The unacceptable thing was that Dustin had managed to get the Vance family to owe him a debt. This was the Vance family of Somerton, which used to be even more powerful than the four prominent families of the present! Even they had to suck up to the Vance family. However, they did not even have that chance! In an instant, the whole family fell quiet. After a long while, they composed themselves. “The Va

    “My friend, you saved my father. I shall keep my promise and apologize to you on my knees!” Rowan walked up to Dustin and prepared to get down on his knees. “Forget it,” Dustin said. Rowan was a hot-blooded man. Rowan being willing to set aside his pride and apologize to Dustin, considering the position the Vance family held in society, was quite a feat. Dustin respected such a person. “Thank you!” Rowan looked grateful. He was a very important man in Somerton. If he really got down on his knees, his pride would not be able to take it. “The Vance family owes you a great debt! We will take my father home to rest. Later, we will come back and reward you greatly!” “There’s no need for that. Just pay the medical fees.” Dustin did not take the whole thing very seriously. Soon, the Vance family left. However, Rowan committed Dustin to memory. Dustin had miraculous medical skills. Plus, he had a very powerful martial artist at his beck and call. There was no w

    “You should know where all the nerve centers are in the body, right?” Dustin asked. “I… I do…” “Good,” said Dustin and told her to step forward. “You’ve got to be kidding me. Is he really going to let an intern physician treat Germaine? This is Germaine Vance of the Vance family!” Everyone was taken aback. They could not believe their eyes. “This is preposterous!” The other physicians felt skeptical. If Dustin wanted to pick someone to help, he should have picked a more experienced physician! Rowan’s expression was chilly, and he clenched his fists tightly. He was at the limit of his patience when it came to Dustin. Dustin ignored all these comments directed at what he was doing. He talked to the nervous intern physician for a bit and told her to clean Germaine’s mouth and nose. Then, he had her massage Germaine’s head at a few key nerve centers. The amount of pressure applied and the time needed in each area was different. After all that was done, Dustin h
