Chapter 4

Author: Autumn Rain
“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.

“Dad, this order…” Simone looked troubled. She wanted to remind David of their condition at the moment.

The Langley family was weighed down by enormous debts. How were they supposed to find the capital to invest in such a huge production?

“Don’t worry, Miss Langley. My company is willing to pay 50% of the costs in advance. Once you produce the first two batches, we can pay for the other half,” Duke said.

Simone’s eyes widened.

The Langley family was in disbelief.

No one did business this way. It did not make sense at all.

Duke was clearly only here to help the Langley family.

But why would he do that?

None of the Langley family members had an answer.

“David, Monique, Simone, if Mr. Mortimer is being so sincere, what’s there to worry about?” Dustin asked from the side.

“This young man is right. You have nothing to worry about. I only want to build a trustworthy business relationship,” said Duke with a warm smile.

“Alright. Then, we’ll accept this order!” David nodded in agreement.

Duke took out two copies of the contract. It was clear that he had come prepared.

Outside the Langley family, a Maserati sped in.

Amara got out of the car. When she saw the Maybach parked there and checked its number plate, her face turned grim.

The president of the Excelsior Group had really visited in person.

Amara quickly headed into the villa.

She could not figure out why this was happening.

She knocked hard on the door.

The door was soon opened.

When she saw the person who had opened the door, her face turned icy.

“A… Amara Wyatt, what are you doing here?” Dustin asked with a frown.

“Who are you to question me? You’re just an outsider!” Amara was as cold and unforgiving as ever.

“Get out of my way!” she yelled impatiently.

Dustin’s face stiffened. He looked displeased.

Outsider…

After dedicating more than a decade to the Wyatt family, he was still only seen as an outsider…

A moment later, Dustin looked at her mockingly and stepped aside.

Amara walked in to find that Duke and David were about to sign the contract.

“Mr. Mortimer, you can’t sign that!” she shouted.

Everyone in the villa looked at her.

Amara’s high heels clicked on the floor as she walked over to them.

“Mr. Mortimer, the Wyatt Group is the perfect partner for the Excelsior Group! We are the only company in all of Rivenesco that can handle your order!” she said briskly. “The Langley family is far from capable of doing that!”

Duke frowned. He glared at her.

Although Amara was a formidable woman and even her sisters were intimidated by her because she was the president of her own company, she was no match for Duke, who was an impressive person in his own right.

“It’s not up to you to teach me how the Excelsior Group should handle its business!” Duke said firmly.

Amara’s face changed.

“So, this is how the eldest daughter of the Wyatt family was brought up. You barge in here without the Langley family’s permission and shout about how the Langley family isn’t capable in their own home?” Dustin mocked her.

Amara’s face paled as she faced Dustin.

In the past, Dustin always supported her.

Yet, he did not seem to care about her at this moment.

Amara was so enraged that her blood boiled.

“He’s completely right,” Duke said indifferently. “Miss Wyatt, don’t you have any manners?”

Amara kept her temper in check and forced out a smile.

“Mr. Mortimer, you’re right. I was out of line,” she said as she regained her composure.

“I am very sincere in my intention to work with the Excelsior Group. Your company’s sudden cancellation caught us all off guard. Mr. Mortimer, could you please tell us where we went wrong, so we can do better?”

Duke chuckled.

“Excelsior will not work with a company that has no basic decency.”

After that, Duke stood up and bade farewell to the Langley family. He did not look at Amara even once before walking out of there.

Amara was livid.

What was Duke implying about her company lacking basic decency?

Amara looked at Dustin, who looked exceedingly calm. She frowned.

Could it be…

Was this matter connected to that piece of trash?

That was impossible.

He was nothing but a useless dog. How could he possibly be capable of something like this?

“Miss Wyatt, please have some coffee.” Simone brought Amara a cup of coffee.

Amara pushed the cup away and sent it flying to the floor. The cup shattered.

“Ah!” Simone cried out. She was nearly burned.

“Amara Wyatt!”

Dustin abruptly got up. He looked frightening.

“This is not the Wyatt family. No one here will tolerate your bad behavior! If you want to throw a tantrum, crawl back to the Wyatt family and do it there!”

After shouting at her, Dustin looked at Simone with concern. “Simone, are you alright?” he asked gently.

“I’m fine,” Simone said softly.

She was startled because she had not expected Dustin to shout at his former sister on her behalf. It warmed her heart.

Amara looked at Dustin in disbelief.

That trash was telling her to get out of here!

He used to be an insignificant presence. She was the one who used to order him about. When had he become so defiant?

Amara’s face turned cold. She looked at everyone in the villa and said icily, “Do you think the Langley Group can challenge the Wyatt Group? Well, let’s see about that. This matter isn’t over! I’ll make sure the Langley Group is ruined!”

After that, Amara turned and walked out the door. The Langley family looked at each other in stunned silence.

As she passed Dustin, she said coldly, “You think you’re impressive, Dustin? You must have done something. Is this your supposed revenge? You don’t even have the means to ruin the Wyatt family!”

Dustin frowned.

Amara was sick in the head.

“Amara,” he called and followed her out.

Amara turned around. Her face was cold and aloof. She could not even be bothered to look him in the face.

“Do you really think you’re the one who single-handedly got the Wyatt Group to where it is today? You think everybody should look up to you?” Dustin scoffed.

“Yeah. So?” Amara asked.

“Without me, no one would have helped you ungrateful brats of the Wyatt family in the last ten years. Who do you think would support your luxurious lifestyle? The Wyatt family can’t survive without me!”

Dustin laughed mockingly.

If it had not been for his support from behind the scenes, the Wyatt Group would have failed long ago.

He had secretly helped it survive, but Amara thought her abilities were extraordinary and took pride in her achievements.

“You have no abilities, but you think you’re so impressive. You scowl at everyone every day. The Wyatt Group will fall because of you, sooner or later!” Dustin said indifferently.

“From the moment I left the Wyatt family, it was destined to crumble!”

Amara was about to tell him off for his insolence. However, Dustin slammed the steel door in her face and denied her that satisfaction. Her face darkened.

When she got back to her car, she kicked at it viciously to vent her anger.

    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.

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.

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
