Chapter 3

Author: Autumn Rain
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 nothing more than a dog that the Wyatt family kicked out. If the Langley family dares to take him in, that’s clearly an act of defiance against us. They really don’t know what’s good for them!”

“Dustin even said he’d make us regret it. I wonder if he’ll even survive until tomorrow!” Elisa continued to mock Dustin. “Some men from the Serpentine Gang went there too, and Dustin just had to stick his nose into the problem. I bet he’s in trouble now!”

The other sisters frowned. After a while, they all laughed.

Dustin really did not know how useless he actually was.

“He’s no longer a part of the Wyatt family. There’s no need to care whether he lives or dies,” Amara said coldly. “As for the Langley family, we just need to pull some strings to make them face complete ruin!”

Just as Amara said that, her phone rang.

It was a call from the company.

“What is it?” asked Amara calmly.

“Miss Wyatt, we have a huge problem! The Excelsior Group suddenly canceled the contract you personally signed with them! They no longer want to work with us!”

“What?!” Amara’s face darkened.

The Excelsior Group was one of the top conglomerates in the capital, Somerton. Many businesses wanted to collaborate with them and secure their hefty contracts.

Amara had personally taken on the task and gone to Somerton many times to negotiate with them, but she was turned away even before she got to meet the lowest executive officer of the Excelsior Group.

Just as she was about to give up hope, the Excelsior Group had reached out. Their president had personally met her. The man had been exceedingly courteous and claimed that he had been moved by Amara’s sincerity. He then readily handed her a huge contract.

That achievement was something that Amara felt immensely proud of. It was a remarkable story that had become something like a legend in the business world in Rivenesco.

The Wyatt Group had just delivered their first batch of samples. Just a day before, the Excelsior Group had seemed pleased with those samples. They were supposed to sign the contract for a huge order the next day. Why had they suddenly changed their minds at this point?

Amara did not understand.

“What’s going on with them?!” she screamed into the phone.

How could there be such a mistake when this order was so critical for the Wyatt Group?

“Miss Wyatt, we also don’t know what’s going on…” stammered the person on the other end.

Amara hung up and threw her phone on the coffee table. She folded her arms in front of her chest. Her face was frosty and troubled.

“Amara… what’s going on?” Delia looked wary. It was almost like she was afraid to speak too loudly.

“What’s going on with the Excelsior Group? Why did they suddenly cancel their order?” Amara could not figure it out no matter how hard she thought about it.

The day before yesterday, the Excelsior Group had been delighted and had praised the Wyatt Group.

“Amara, why don’t we investigate and see if we can fix this?” Bella asked tentatively.

Amara thought it through before picking up her phone again and making a call.

First, she called the president of the Excelsior Group, but the call did not go through.

“Has he blocked me?” Amara could not believe it.

She had grown up as the envy of many. She was always revered and respected and had never been treated this way before.

She could not believe that this was how things had ended up. She pulled up WhatsApp to check her messages, but her face only turned darker when she saw it.

The app showed that she had been blocked, and she had no other means of contacting the president of the Excelsior Group.

Amara looked scary as she huffed shakily.

“Find out what’s happening with the Excelsior Group now!” she said after dialing a number.

Soon, she got some updates.

“Miss Wyatt, the president of the Excelsior Group… is personally driving over to the Langley family…”

“What?!”

All five sisters were shocked. They could not believe it.

The Langley family…

The same Langley family that had taken in that useless trash, Dustin?

How could that be?

“The Langley Group is on the verge of bankruptcy and has massive debts. Why would the Excelsior Group be interested in them? The president is even visiting in person!”

Bella found the entire situation unbelievable.

“What is the president of the Excelsior Group thinking? In all of Rivenesco, only the Wyatt Group can handle such a huge order as theirs. The Langley Group is nothing!” Clara said furiously.

Delia frowned but remained silent. She was just as stumped as the rest of them.

Elisa could not make sense of it, either.

She had just returned from the Langley family, so she knew how things were over there.

Had the president of the Excelsior Group lost his mind?

Suddenly, Amara stood up and walked to the door.

“Amara, where are you going?”

“To the Langley family!”

Outside the Langley family villa, a relatively modest Maybach came to a halt.

The president of the Excelsior Group stepped out of the car.

Inside the villa, the Langley family was immensely worried after Dustin had headed out with the Serpentine Gang members. They had almost called the police.

But soon, Dustin had returned safely inside.

“Dustin, are you alright? Where are the Serpentine Gang’s people?”

The whole family rushed over to Dustin. They were scared that he might have gotten hurt.

“Don’t worry. They just left. The money you owe them will be handled later,” said Dustin with a smile.

Dustin would definitely help the Langley family since they took him in with such open hearts.

“How did you manage that?” David and Monique were stunned.

Dustin considered cooking up a story, but Simone changed the topic before he could say anything. She could sense that he could not tell them the truth.

Dustin gave her a grateful look.

He had not spent much time with Simone, but he knew that she was very perceptive and understanding. The two of them had a strange ability to sense what the other person was thinking.

As the Langley family tidied up the mess, the doorbell rang suddenly. Every member of the Langley family winced in worry.

“Monique, you should open the door. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. It might even be good news,” Dustin said with a warm smile.

“I’ll be grateful enough if it’s not another debt collector…” Monique chuckled bitterly but went to open the door.

“Who are you?” Monique asked hesitantly when she saw a stranger at the door.

“Hello, madam. I’m Duke Mortimer, the president of the Excelsior Group. Here’s my business card.” Duke smiled politely as he handed Monique his card.

“The Excelsior Group?” Monique was a housewife. She had not heard of the Excelsior Group.

However, David was taken aback.

“Isn’t that the top conglomerate in Somerton?” Simone was stunned as well.

The two quickly ran to the door.

“Mr. Mortimer, please come in! Please come in!”

Simone and David were both panicky.

The Excelsior Group was one of the top three conglomerates in Somerton!

Its president, Duke Mortimer, was a famous person in Somerton. Even the rich and powerful elites of Somerton would treat him with utmost respect.

Why would such an important person visit them personally at their home?

They felt anxious and were also surprised.

After realizing who Duke was, Monique stood rooted to the ground. It was only after Dustin reminded her to get some coffee that she moved away.

“Mr. Mortimer, is there a reason for your visit to our house?” asked David modestly.

“Apologies for the late visit, but I’m here to discuss a partnership with the Langley Group.” Duke took out a contract.

When Simone and David looked at the document, their eyes widened in shock.

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    Even after the Langley family bid farewell to Ronald and the leaders of the Serpentine Gang, they could not quite wrap their heads around what had happened.“The members of the Serpentine Gang were very polite. They were completely different from how they were before,” David said seriously. “Politeness isn’t really in the Serpentine Gang’s vocab.”The Serpentine Gang was the most predominant of all the gangs in Rivenesco, and they had a fearsome reputation aside from just one defeat against Elisa a few years ago.This time was just as unexpected and unpredictable as last time.Why were they so harsh to Elisa, while treating the Langley family so politely?‘What’s the reason?’ David thought and frowned.Although this was a good thing, it was very strange and made him overthink.“David, don’t think too much about it.

    Clarence and the others felt insulted. “Punk, don’t regret your choice later! Even if you beg us, we won’t come back!” “That’s not likely to happen,” said Dustin and chuckled. Clarence and the others were even more livid. They all packed up their things in a huff and got ready to go. Simone was anxious. She wanted to make them stay, but everyone ignored her.“Dr. Boudin! Dr. Boudin!” As Clarence and the others were packing up, another physician suddenly rushed into the room in a panic. “A new patient was just transferred from Goodwill Hospital. He’s in a coma, but he’s coughing up blood. The files say it’s a brain condition, but tests aren’t showing where the problem is. Please hurry and take a look! “The patient’s family seems important. If we can’t save the patient, they’ll ruin the hospital!” “Oh?” Clarence raised an eyebrow. He was just thinking about how he could make things worse for Dustin when an opportunity presented itself immediately. “Please hurry and

    “I’m so damn angry!” Clarence had never been so insulted before in his life. He was so mad that his face turned a shade of purple. He thought that Dustin and Simone would walk on eggshells around him and cater to his every whim to keep the hospital afloat. After all, he was the last resource the hospital had. Yet, he had never imagined that Dustin would not care at all. “You punk! Do you know what will happen if you fire me? Hmph! The hospital will go under immediately! There’s no chance of saving it!” Clarence said with a scoff. Dustin was terrifyingly calm. “On the contrary, I think that the hospital will do better without an old fart like you,” he said indifferently. “So, you should get lost. Don’t make me say it again!” “You… You…” Clarence’s mouth opened wide, but he could not say anything further. He had miscalculated. He definitely did not want to lose out on the significant benefits that being the assistant director of the hospital gave him. He did not u

    “Who are you? Do you think you can boss us around? What are you shouting about? Do you have any manners at all?” someone yelled. “I am the new hospital director, Simone Langley!” Simone said angrily. No one seemed to care about that. It was clear that they knew Simone would show up, but it still did not matter. “So, you’re the new hospital director. Well, you’re certainly accomplished for your age. A hospital director so young…” Clarence said mockingly. “You still haven’t answered my question. Why are you playing cards during work hours? This is unacceptable.” Simone was furious. Clarence frowned. “Hey, miss, you’d better speak with some manners,” he said harshly as he glared at Simone. “Don’t think you can boss everyone around just because you’re the hospital director now.” Simone’s face reddened at Clarence’s tone of voice. Clarence smirked. He had gotten instructions early on from the main branch of the Langley family to create trouble for Simone. Besides, th

    “Mr. Fox, the Langley family’s hospital is named Goodwill Hospital. They have their own pharmaceutical business and because they brought in a top grade physician a few years ago, they have a better reputation than the most prominent public hospital in Hattan.” Skyler was making a report to Dustin in the villa. “For the past two years, the Langley family has basically taken up the entire market share for the private hospital business in the area. Only a couple of small hospitals are still surviving.” Dustin chuckled softly when he heard that. “Buy the hospital closest to Goodwill Hospital,” he said calmly. “I will use what they look down upon the most to ruin their hospital.” … At the Langley family villa, they got the news about the purchase. “What? They’ve bought Peace Hospital?” Josiah had arranged for someone to keep an eye on what David and his family were doing. Once they found out about the purchase of Peace Hospital, the members of the main branch of the Langle

    The person Killian addressed as Mr. Little took a few steps closer to him. He looked condescendingly at Killian. “It’s very simple. It’s because you offended someone you shouldn’t have,” the man said. “W-What does that mean?” Killian was in a daze. Dustin approached him with a smile. “You’re really bold to set me up on my own turf,” Dustin said sarcastically. “Your turf?” Killian looked at him in disbelief. “Everyone at the Antiquities Trading Hall obeys me. And yet, you dare to challenge me?” Dustin asked. Killian was instantly struck dumb. Luna was also taken aback. Her body shook violently. What? How could he call the shots here? Besides, they had never heard that the Antiquities Trading Hall had a secret boss. Killian and Luna were both stricken and nearly lost their reasoning. That was especially true for Killian. He knew that the Antiquities Trading Hall was a very powerful one. Even his father was polite to the people here. The owner was Dustin?! Ho

    “How could I have lost? There’s no way I could have lost!” Killian was in complete disbelief. He acted like he was in a daze. He was filled with confusion, and he could not figure it out. He had an inside person giving him clues and knew the correct answer, so how could he have lost? ‘This makes no sense! This isn’t right!’ Killian screamed to himself. His face turned vicious. He could accept that he had lost 20 million dollars, but it was the other bet that was the issue. If he really had to crawl and bark like a dog, he would have no dignity left. He was the son of the Prolereid Group’s chairman. He could not afford to be humiliated like this! “What’s going on? How could we have lost?” Darren and Luna were both in disbelief. Neither of them had expected that this would happen. “Killian, didn’t you say you have connections? What happened?” they asked Killian anxiously. “How am I supposed to know?” Killian yelled grumpily. “This shouldn’t have happened. What went wr

    “I pick this one,” Killian said. “I won’t pick the one you did,” said Dustin and chuckled softly. Killian, Darren, and Luna shared a meaningful look. They already knew which item was the authentic one. They were definitely going to win. Dustin would definitely lose! After they both made their choices, the host was about to announce the correct answer. “Hold on,” Killian suddenly said. “I want to up the stakes.” He smiled sinisterly as he stared at Dustin. “Whoever loses has to crawl out of here like a dog.” Everyone glanced at each other. It seemed that Killian had a massive grudge against Dustin. It was no wonder that he had been targeting the latter from the start. The additional bet was a huge insult. It did not matter which of them lost. The loser would lose his dignity and become a laughingstock. “Mr. Fox, this has nothing to do with the rules of the Antiquities Trading Hall. You have the right to choose. It wouldn’t matter if you don’t take this bet,” t

    “For this round of the competition, you will be authenticating the most priceless items we have. It is a petrified coral. Its estimated value is 10 million dollars. You will each contribute 5 million dollars. You may bet 10 to 20 million dollars.” As per Killian’s request, the organizers skipped over the round with the Myrena Era pearls and brought out two specimens of petrified coral. The colors of the coral made everyone gasp. “Wow! I’m amazed that the Antiquities Trading Hall would use such a specimen as a competition item instead of auctioning it off. How generous!” “This is worth 10 million dollars. Whoever wins will make a killing!” “This is getting a bit out of hand…” Killian glared daggers at Dustin, and his gaze was vicious. “We’ll bet 20 million dollars. Do you dare to take the bet?” Dustin did not speak for a moment. “This isn’t about whether he dares to take the bet,” Luna said. “Look at how destitute he looks. It’s a miracle that he could fork out a millio

    “It’s fine. Trust me, I will win all the money back,” Dustin said reassuringly. Simone’s face froze. Was this not the sort of thing that gamblers said all the time? When had such words ever come true? Simone never expected that Dustin would say such a thing and suddenly felt troubled. “What? Do you still have the guts to keep competing?” Killian and the others asked gleefully. “Let’s continue,” Dustin said. ‘You really overestimate yourself. You don’t even know what’s coming,’ they thought. Dustin was falling right into their trap. They wore disdainful looks and did not think that Dustin was a threat. What did it matter that Dustin had a decent eye for antiques? They were still playing with him like a cat played with its prey. Simone really wanted to stop the competition, but the second round had already begun. This time, two jade sculptures were placed on the table. The jade was magnificent and translucent, and the sculptures were about five inches tall. “T
