“Amara, the forum’s exploding! The people from before are wondering what kind of genius bought the Speedgro Group’s shares,” Delia said with a grin. Amara smiled as she looked at Clara. “What do you think, Clara? My judgment wasn’t wrong, was it?” Clara had a conflicted look on her face. She had indeed not imagined that the stock price for the Speedgro Group would rise so suddenly. “Maybe I was wrong,” she muttered to herself. “Amara, you should hurry up and sell them! You might regret it if you wait too long,” Clara said. “Sell?” Amara raised an eyebrow. “By my predictions, the Speedgro Group’s stock price can go up to seven dollars or more. If we sell now, it’ll mean losing out on millions!” “I won’t sell them. I’m going to invest twenty million dollars more!” Amara confidently clicked to buy more stocks. She invested another twenty million dollars. Then, she sat back with her arms crossed to watch the stock price go up. Clara did not dare to say anything furthe
After losing fifty million dollars in the stock market, Amara was dejected. The mood in the Wyatt family villa was bad. Fifty million dollars was not a small sum to the Wyatt family. Although it would not make a huge impact on their finances, it had shaken the strong foundations of Amara’s confidence. To a strong woman like her, this was a huge shock. The Zimmer family had not let them go and were still preparing to move against the Wyatt family. The Wyatt sisters were all discouraged and did not have the energy to deal with the problem. Seeing how dejected her sisters were, Clara frowned. She made some arrangements by temporarily using Amara’s powers to get the company’s staff to make preparations to nullify the Zimmer family’s attacks. She was very capable, but she was exhausted for the next several days. Clara wondered how things had come to this. She quickly came to a realization. “Dustin Fox…” she muttered. Clara was different from her sisters. She was very
To Dustin, what happened earlier that day was only a small disruption. That night, he accompanied Simone in her room as she handled some documents. The day they had to deliver the goods was getting closer, so Simone was very busy. Dustin frowned. “Simone, I’m going outside for a moment,” he said. Then, he left the villa. Outside the villa, there was a dark figure standing tall at night. The person’s face was hidden. His gaze was fierce, and he carried with him the potential for violence. Dustin looked at him calmly. “Shadow Two, under whose orders have you come here?” he asked. This was one of the nine elites the Wyatt family had trained. He was Shadow Two. Last time, Drake had killed Shadow One. Naturally, it did not bode well that Shadow Two had shown up at this point. Shadow Two was more powerful than Shadow One. “I am here on the orders of Miss Clara,” Shadow Two said. His voice sounded icy. Dustin frowned. The Shadows had been trained by the head
The art exhibit was being held at Rivenesco Convention Center. This was a huge event, and there were many renowned artists involved. The most exceptional of them was Rivenesco’s shining gem, Clara Wyatt. She was accomplished in calligraphy, painting, and writing, and her works were accepted as exhibits in Lovellia’s international museums. She was very well-known. Moreover, she was a beauty in her own right, and with her background as a descendant of many renowned figures, she had become a uniquely sought-after rising star in the art world.In this art exhibition, the other people were just there to fill out the numbers. She was the star of the show. On the day of the exhibition, many people who admired her attended the venue. Clara’s fans were everywhere. She may not have been a celebrity, but she had more fame and popularity than some A-list actors and actresses. That day, Dustin brought Simone to the convention center. Clara obviously did not have any good intention
“Ms. Langley, it’s truly a shame that we didn’t meet sooner. My name is Michael Carson. I’m from Central Harbor’s Carson family. I wonder if you would be kind enough to add me on Facebook?” the young man in the lead asked. He was handsome and had a wealthy background. Most women were not able to resist such charms. Simone looked shocked. “Central Harbor’s Carson family?” She was quite surprised. The Carson family was one of Lovellia’s most powerful families, much more powerful than those in Rivenesco. Yet, Simone still refused him. “I apologize, but my friend list is at its limit.” Michael and his friends froze. “Let’s go, Dustin,” Simone said as she took Dustin’s hand. “Ms. Langley, it’s always good to have more friends…” Michael did not give up. He raised his hand to block their way. The more Simone turned him down, the more he wanted to win her over. Dustin’s gaze turned sharp. “Get out of the way!” he said. The faces of the three darkened. They were al
“Dustin, stop!” Clara rushed into the hall with some men. She saw that Dustin was about to attack Michael again. Dustin looked at her indifferently. “You finally showed up.” She ran over and had someone help Michael up. “How dare you? How dare you attack someone from Central Harbor?” Her face was cold as she yelled at Dustin openly. She behaved just like she did back home. “I’m ordering you to apologize to Mr. Carson now!” Her tone left no room for argument. It was a tone of voice that Dustin was very familiar with. He had heard it all the time growing up in the Wyatt family. “Have you lost your mind, Clara?” Dustin sneered. “Do you think things are still the same as they used to be? I’m no longer part of the Wyatt family. You were the ones who kicked me out. You still think you can boss me around?” Clara’s face stiffened. Then, her gaze turned cold. “I’m trying to save your life by asking you to apologize to Mr. Carson right now!” she said coldly. “The Carson fam
With the Carson family’s power, Michael could easily torment Dustin so much that he would die from a single onslaught. “Dustin, you’d better come along quietly. It’s a bigger crime if you resist arrest. You might be able to escape capture, but that pretty woman next to you won’t. She and the whole Langley family will be considered accomplices to your crime!” Clara added. Clara knew that Dustin was a formidable fighter and could defeat even Shadow Two. The only way to hurt such a person was to threaten the people he cared about. “I’m disappointed in you, Clara Wyatt,” Dustin said while shaking his head. “I thought you’d come up with some strategic feat, but your methods are so low.” Clara’s face turned stormy. “What’s the point of saying all that?” she asked sarcastically. “You might as well think about how you’re going to survive the trip to the border.” She believed that she had cornered Dustin into an impossible situation. If Dustin resisted capture and tried to escape,
The entire hall was silent. Many of the attendees were still in shock as they looked at Dustin. Who exactly was Dustin? Clara’s expression shifted from rage to uncertainty. Then, she smiled. She said to the crowd warmly, “Everyone, the charity auction is about to begin! Please take your seats.” The art exhibition had a very important auction session. It was the charity auction that Clara had mentioned. Clara organized the event and called for other famous artists to contribute their works to the event. This attracted a lot of attention from the media. Everyone praised Clara online for being beautiful inside and out. It had added to her acclaim. However, Dustin knew very well just how kind Clara really was. She did not actually care about people who were in difficult situations. All she cared about was her reputation. “A month ago, there was an earthquake in East Lovellia. Countless people were displaced. I feel like crying every time I read the news about it…” Clar
The Riverine had seven floors, each with a unique and elegant design. As you went higher, the view of the river became even more beautiful, and the rooms grew more luxurious. Anyone who could go to the Riverine was either rich or important. Just being there showed status and was a way to flaunt one’s position. However, Evan and Yvonne did not hold a high position in the Yeager family. They could only dine in the dining area on the first floor. Even Zack could only go up to the third floor. The important figures from the three newly rising noble families in Hattan could only go up to the fourth floor. Only someone like Nico, who came from a powerful family and held a key role, could go up to the fifth floor. “We actually have the chance to go up to the fifth floor of the Riverine! This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! What a great honor! We owe it all to Mr. Zabel.” Evan and Yvonne grinned from ear to ear. They kept complimenting Nico and tried to flatter him constantl
“Hello, Mr. Zabel,” Patricia said with a forced smile. Her voice sounded a bit awkward. Inside, she felt uncomfortable but did not want to upset someone from such a powerful family. “Sorry for keeping everyone waiting,” Nico said with a big smile. He was clearly happy with Patricia. “By the way, why are you all on the first floor? It’s so crowded and noisy here.” “Oh, don’t flatter us,” Yvonne said. “You know, the Riverine is the top restaurant in Hattan. It has seven floors, and the higher you go, the fancier it gets. But you need money and a certain status to go higher. “With our status, we can only eat on the first floor. We can’t go any higher.” “Is that so? I’ve heard a little about it,” Nico said. “On the second floor, only high-ranking people are allowed. The third, fourth, and fifth floors are for people from Hattan’s top families.” “I’ll ask someone to see how high I can go.” Nico called the manager over. “You’re the heir from the Zabel family of Hattan?
Faced with their aggressive questioning and yelling, Dustin stayed calm and did not seem bothered at all. “It doesn’t matter if you agree or not. What matters is whether Patricia is willing,” he said with a smile. “As long as she agrees, no one can stop us from being together!” The others all thought highly of themselves and believed their opinions were the truth. But Dustin did not feel the need to argue. If that was their mindset, he might as well go along with it. However, his calm response only made them angrier. Evan’s eyes widened in anger as he yelled, “You’re shameless!” Yvonne, dressed in expensive jewelry, agreed with Evan. She said disdainfully, “You should look at yourself in the mirror. You want to marry Patricia? Do you think you’re worthy? “A broke guy like you could never afford to come to the Riverine. How could you give her a good life? We’re just looking out for her happiness!” she added with an entitled look. “Don’t think just because you got picked
After leaving the hotel, Patricia wanted to go straight back to Mayhill. Things were going well there, and she wanted to stay there 24/7 in case something went wrong. But she got a phone call that changed her mind. “My uncle invited us to dinner at the Riverine,” Patricia told Dustin over the phone. “We haven’t had a proper meal with them since we got back.” Dustin did not say much and just went along with her. The Riverine was a fancy restaurant by the river in Hattan. It was known as one of the most elegant and luxurious places in the city. The seven-story building stood tall by the water. It looked like a grand old pagoda. Every floor was beautifully decorated and gave off a classic and sophisticated feel. By the time Patricia and Dustin arrived, Evan and Yvonne were already waiting in the dining area. When they saw Patricia, they greeted her with warm smiles. Patricia looked puzzled and asked, “Uncle Evan, Aunt Yvonne, why pick such an expensive place for dinner?”
After speaking, Dustin looked at Curtis. His eyes were intense and confident, as if he already understood everything. Curtis was taken aback, then quickly composed himself. He was filled with uncontrollable joy. “Thank you for your trust! On behalf of the whole Swansong Group, I swear to serve you with my life. We will do everything to follow your orders!” Curtis’s voice trembled in excitement. At this moment, Curtis felt both awe and gratitude. It was truly a huge honor to receive the mysterious and powerful master of Star Tower’s trust and be given such an important responsibility! He also knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. If he helped Dustin succeed, the Swansong Group would experience huge growth and success. Thinking of this, he silently vowed to give his best and not let Dustin down. When the rest of the Swansong Group heard this, they would feel just as excited as he did. After all, Dustin’s words carried great weight. In this competitive and power-driven w
Dustin returned to Mayhill Pig Farm. He walked up the mountain with an umbrella. From a distance, he saw several people waiting at the entrance. “Mr. Fox, you’re here!” When they saw Dustin, the middle-aged man in front immediately tensed up and ran over. He did not care about the rain or getting covered in mud. “Curtis Zeller, the general manager of the Swansong Group, reporting to Mr. Fox.” Curtis stopped before Dustin and bowed to him respectfully. The others behind him also ran over and bowed to Dustin. The Yeager family members did not see this. If they had, they would have been shocked. They thought Dustin had just gotten lucky and won the favor of someone from the Swansong Group. They had no idea that the famous company in Grayvale was just a tool Dustin used. Dustin nodded, and only then did the Swansong Group people straighten up. “Mr. Fox, please come in,” Curtis said with a smile. He did not dare to stand up straight before Dustin and always kept his head
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
