Chapter 588

Author: Autumn Rain
He had been worried that her feelings were only gratitude and not love.

Suddenly, the lights in the restaurant dimmed and a cascade of colorful lights illuminated the space.

In an instant, the entire area transformed. Simone was surrounded by vibrant red roses.

She covered her mouth in surprise at the unexpected setup.

Dustin rose from his seat, walked over to her, and knelt on one knee. In his hand was a small open box containing a dazzling diamond ring.

“Simone, will you marry me?” Dustin asked sincerely.

Simone gasped and covered her mouth with both hands. Her eyes were wide in astonishment.

She had not expected him to propose right after they had just defined their relationship.

Was this not going too fast?

“Simone, I don’t want to wait any longer. Will you marry me?” Dustin asked again in a hopeful voice.

“I...” Simone hesitated.

Dustin went right from confessing his feelings to proposing marriage. These were far too sudden and left her completely u

    “My Liege, we’ve cracked the code.” The following morning, Drake met Dustin with exciting news, and those were the first words he uttered. Drake handed over a slip of paper. Dustin eagerly opened it. The note read: the Hanks family in Hattan. “My sister is with the Hanks family in Hattan?” Dustin’s face tightened upon seeing those words. Hattan was vast, and there must be countless Hanks families in the area. The scope of information Wilhelm provided was too extensive. After a moment’s thought, Dustin reasoned that Wilhelm would not leave him to search aimlessly. This Hanks family must be one of the more prominent ones in Hattan. “Start investigating the notable Hanks families in Hattan. Look into which family has an adopted daughter and whether she hails from the western region,” Dustin ordered. “If you don’t find anything among the prominent families, then investigate every single Hanks family in Hattan until you do!” “Understood!” Drake promptly left to ca

    Dustin said nothing. Whether the box’s contents held material value or not, the main Langley family would undoubtedly treat it as a prized relic. It was unlikely they would give it up easily. Some unconventional methods might be necessary. After packing up, the family boarded a flight to Hattan at dawn. It was almost noon by the time they landed. “I’ve already contacted the main family. They said they’d send someone to pick us up,” David said. The group waited for quite some time outside the airport with their luggage but saw no sign of anyone. An hour passed, then another. “Where’s the person picking us up? Why aren’t they here yet?” Monique complained impatiently. David tried calling again but the line never connected. “Maybe they’re delayed on their way here,” he said helplessly. Dustin’s expression remained indifferent. Was this their way of making a statement right from the start? “David, why don’t we go to my friend’s place? I have some conne

    “What did you say? How could you say a thing like that?” Monique demanded angrily. “Archer, no matter what, I’m still your elder. Can’t you speak more politely?” said David because he could not hold back his frustration. “Polite?” Archer sneered coldly as his face filled with contempt and disdain. “You people who split from the family are nothing but parasites of the Langley family. Every time you come, it’s either for money or something else. Look at what you’ve made of yourselvesF!! in the poor and desolate West! You’ve brought shame to the Langley family! And you are asking me to be polite to you? “Ha! Do you think you deserve that? If it weren’t for the elders of the family and their orders, do you think you’d be qualified enough for me to personally come and pick you up?” Archer stood tall and afforded no respect for David’s family in the slightest. His words were harsh and insulting. “People from the branch family like you only deserve to stay here. You’re not worth

    “Apologize!” Dustin tightened his grip again. “F*ck...” Archer cursed. Crack! Dustin frowned and twisted Archer’s hand. It snapped Archer’s wrist completely. The scream that followed was high-pitched and unbearable. Dustin released him, and the latter collapsed to the ground before curling into a ball. “Dustin... you... ahhh!!!” David sighed. He had not expected Dustin to act so decisively and break Archer’s hand without hesitation. Dustin was just standing up for his family. Archer had been infuriating. So, David merely sighed instead of blaming him. “David, respect is earned, not given for free,” Dustin said seriously. “Since the main family looks down on us so much, I don’t think we need to worry too much about their opinion while we’re in Hattan.” David remained silent in thought. Perhaps he was also considering whether the branch family should stop enduring the main family’s repeated humiliation. “You... How dare you... Do you have a death wish?” Archer

    “Dustin, which friend of yours are we meeting?” David asked curiously inside the taxi. He had never heard of Dustin’s friends in Hattan before. “Just… a regular friend,” Dustin said awkwardly. The truth was, he had never met this person before and did not even know their name. “But… wouldn’t it be rude to show up unannounced?” David asked in concern. “David, don’t worry. He owes me a favor and is eager to return it,” said Dustin and chuckled. David and Monique relaxed. The area grew more luxurious as the taxi moved forward. They passed through the city center of Hattan and into a vast and luxurious villa district. “Wait… Your friend lives in a villa district in the heart of Hattan?!” David exclaimed in surprise. Hattan was one of the most prosperous cities in all of Lovellia. It was second only to Central Harbor. Property prices here were astronomical and often reached millions. Villas in the central area were even more exclusive. Whoever lived here was no

    “They’re decent people. You can trust them. If anything comes up in Hattan, feel free to ask for their help,” Dustin said and told them to introduce themselves. “My name is Brian Lee. I work at the Hattan Provincial Administrative Center. I’m a humble civil servant. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to let me know. I’m happy to help.” A man stepped forward. “I’m Dennis Copper. I run a small business in Hattan with a decent reputation. I look forward to serving you in the future,” said another man as he introduced himself. “I’m Sebastian Fowler. I manage a few people, mostly for hauling and transportation. If you need anything, just say the word...” Each person came forward to greet David and his family with great courtesy and offered to help them in any way possible. Their warm welcome left David and Monique speechless. They could only smile in response. “Gentlemen and ladies, you will stay in the villa behind me. It’s fully equipped with all the necessary amenities, an

    Dustin and David spent the day at the oriental garden villa. “David, Monique, there’s no need for all this formality. Just treat it like your own home,” Dustin said with a smile as he was amused by their reactions. David and Monique were both awkward and unsure in the villa and avoided touching anything or exploring the space. They refused when the servants offered to help and insisted on doing everything themselves. Although Simone seemed a little more relaxed, she was still quite uncomfortable with the idea of being waited on by so many people. “We couldn’t possibly treat it like our own place. This is their home. We’re just staying here as guests,” David said awkwardly. Dustin felt helpless. He had not told them that the luxury villa was already under his name. It was a gift from Skyler, and he had done the paperwork secretly. Dustin had no choice but to accept it. Since they had just arrived in Hattan and had not found a place to stay yet, Dustin did not wan

    The butler left. After a while, Dustin and his group arrived at the Langley family villa’s living room. “You must be David Langley, right?” Conan, the patriarch of the Langley family, sat in the main seat and looked at them with a serious and commanding look. His gaze focused mainly on David. “It’s an honor to meet you, Conan,” David said and bowed politely. “How dare you!” someone from the main Langley family shouted angrily. “You can’t address the patriarch by his name!” They glared at David and yelled at him for being disrespectful. “I am the patriarch of the Langley family. Know your place!” Conan said coldly. David’s face froze. “My apologies. I was out of line.” David bowed again. Dustin watched all of this, and his face darkened. Originally, he and Simone’s family had come to Hattan just to deal with the issue between the main branch and the off-shoot families of the Langley family. As long as they handed over the box, he was not planning to get involved.

    The Yeager family members looked at each other at a loss.What the hell was the CEO doing? Everything was so elusive and confusing. They were unhappy, but they dared not show it. While they remained silent, Dustin slowly sipped his red wine, picked up a napkin, and wiped his mouth. “No signing,” he said indifferently. The Yeager family members looked over at him.“What did you say?!” Zack yelled at him with a dark face. Why was he speaking?Did he even have the right to speak? It was an extremely important collaboration. Even if Terry was protecting him, Zack could not care less. Dustin must be out of his mind since he dared to interrupt such an important discussion. “Shut up! This isn’t your place to speak!” Percy shouted. The Yeager family members were furious. They were afraid that Dustin’s reckless words would ruin the deal. “You think just because you say, ‘no signing,’ it’ll be done? Do you think you’re the CEO of Duscia Corporation?!” Damien yelled at him. He

    “What’s going on with our great-grandfather? Dustin is not even related to our family. How can he treat him better than us?”A few members of the Yeager family stood on the side awkwardly while watching Dustin and the others chatting happily. Damien whispered in dissatisfaction. They could not bear the sight of this, and they felt very resentful.“Stop talking!” Warren snapped.“Don’t worry, he won’t remain so arrogant for long. Dad favors him. So? In this society, ability speaks louder than anything else,” Zack said in a low voice. “A man who lives off an inheritance without a proper job… even if he has some luck and inheritance, he’ll squander it away in no time. Then, he’ll struggle to get by. Dad will see the truth in time.“Besides, who knows how long Dad can stay conscious? Do you really think that kid can make Dad young again? I don’t believe in such an absurd thing.“Dad is already very old. We should just go along with this for now. They’re lucky they get to hang around

    Dustin did not say anything. Terry was smart indeed. Zack and the others were blinded by the lure of great benefits. A while later, some voices were heard. It meant that the guest had arrived. Percy led Adrian inside. “Dad, this is Mr. Adrian Pierce, the general manager of Duscia Corporation. We always communicated with him about the collaboration,” said Warren as an introduction.Terry nodded, and he looked closely at Adrian. “This young man is not someone ordinary.” His eyes gleamed sharply as he recognized Adrian’s extraordinary presence. Different people, depending on their status and identity, carried themselves with different temperaments. When Terry was young, he used to work in Summerdale and meet many upper-class people. Adrian’s temperament was on par with the young heirs of Summerdale. “I’m Adrian Pierce. It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Yeager.” Adrian walked to Terry and bowed respectfully.This shocked the Yeager family. Adrian had such a high status, but he

    A day passed in the blink of an eye. In the evening, Dustin and Patricia drove to the Yeager family villa. When they got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the Yeager family villa, they saw Percy waiting at the door. When Percy saw them, he turned livid, and his face darkened. “Uncle Percy,” said Patricia in greeting. “Hmph! So, you still recognize me as your uncle,” said Percy coldly and glared at Patricia. Patricia remained silent. Percy glanced at Dustin. His gaze shone with hatred. Patricia used to be very obedient and never dared to go against the Yeager family members. But lately, she had become so insolent even toward the patriarch of the family. Percy thought that Dustin must have led her astray. “Today, your great-grandfather invited you over for a meal. You’d better behave at the dining table and make him happy,” Percy said. “We will,” Patricia said. “Well, why are you so stubborn then? The Yeager family has agreed to let you return, yet you in

    “The Tonra family sent me here to prepare to take over Hattan. We will start from the market in Hattan before we develop the market in the south. The future profits are immensely worthwhile. I’m determined to build a huge business kingdom. “Honestly, these families in Hattan are just so-so. I don’t take them seriously at all. But Duscia Corporation is fine. You just invested a hefty 2 billion right off the bat. That’s quite impressive.” Crispin smiled. “I came from the Southwestern region. I didn’t bring many workers, so we’re lacking some manpower. You’re an expert. Why don’t you work for me? I’ll make it worth your while. How about it?” He confidently offered a job to Dustin and waited for his response. Dustin stared at him calmly. “Regardless of your background, you look quite ambitious to me, but you don’t have sufficient capabilities. Hattan has limited you. If you work for me, your future will be promising!” Adrian found that amusing. Such rich spoiled brats were

    Dustin observed what was going on at the front desk on the security feed on his screen. Adrian arrived at the front desk. “Mr. Pierce, you’re here.” The receptionist nodded at Adrian, and Adrian nodded back. Crispin and the driver, Nicholas Olson, assessed Adrian. “What a self-important person the general manager of Duscia Corporation is! How dare you make Mr. Tonra wait downstairs?” Nicholas asked in displeasure. Adrian did not spare the driver a single glance. He could not be bothered to speak with an insignificant staff member. If Dustin had not given him the orders, he would have chased these two out already. “You’re the general manager of Duscia Corporation, Adrian Pierce, yes?” Crispin looked at Adrian contemptuously. “I’ve never heard of the Pierce family having a person with your name. You’re quite capable of fooling the families of Hattan so easily with the same last name.” Thinking that he had dirt on Adrian, Crispin smiled very tauntingly. “What are yo

    “I find it all quite interesting. This Duscia Corporation, this fake rich kid… Let’s go take a look.” “Yes, sir.” At around 2 p.m., the Lamborghini stopped at the entrance of Duscia Corporation. The young man walked into the building with his driver. “Hello, sir. How can I help you?” the receptionist asked. “This is the son of the Tonra family of Articora. Have the person in charge of your company come and welcome him,” the driver announced loudly. “Do you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked with a smile. “What?” The young man, Crispin Tonra, immediately frowned. “What kind of receptionist are you? Haven’t you heard of the Tonra family of Articora? Mr. Tonra of the ultra-rich Tonra family doesn’t need an appointment to come to your company. Go and tell your boss about his arrival. Have the person in charge rush over here to welcome Mr. Tonra,” yelled the driver at the receptionist. “I’m sorry. The person in charge of our company is very busy. All guests mu

    The great Dhillon family of Hattan was destroyed just like that. It was said that Kendall had become a useless cripple and would have to spend the rest of his days relegated to bed. He could not even move, and there was nothing that could be done to treat him. The other families in Hattan thought that it was the ultra-rich Cabello family of Summerdale that had done this. They were impressed at how powerful the Cabello family was and pitied the Dhillon family. It was true that one could not afford to offend a family like that. After spending a day at the hotel, Dustin took Patricia back to their apartment in the suburbs. The place had been cleaned up and was immaculate. All the damage from the fight had been fixed, and everything looked good as new. Patricia was a strong woman. Thus, she recovered from her ordeal very quickly. She even went to work right after. Dustin went to Duscia Corporation, and Adrian reported to him. “It’s impossible for the Dhillon family to mak

    A life like that would be worse than anything. To put it crudely, it would be a luxury for Kendall to be able to kill himself. This was the consequence of daring to hurt Patricia. Dustin went to stand before Patricia and reached out to touch the red veil surrounding her. With a plop, the light burst like a bubble, and Patricia landed on the floor. “Dustin,” Patricia called. She threw herself into Dustin’s embrace. She cried softly as she held onto Dustin tightly. “You’re alright,” Dustin said comfortingly as he patted her on the back. Patricia did not speak. She clung to Dustin without letting go. She had just realized that she could not live without Dustin in her life. Before that moment, she had been so worried about Dustin and wanted him to leave without coming in. It would not have mattered if she had died because of it. She finally understood. She had long accepted Dustin into her heart. After a long time in Dustin’s embrace, Patricia finally cal
