“Do you know who the person you hit is?” “Yeah. Daniel Wilder, the only son of the Wilder family of Somerton,” Dustin said casually. “If you knew that, why did you hit him? Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Bryce said angrily, and his face darkened. “What’s the big deal? I hit him. So?” Dustin remained indifferent. “You’re really bold!” Bryce sneered. “A future son-in-law of the Langley family talking in this way! I don’t know where you get the confidence to touch the heir of the Wilder family—” “Captain Hamilton, stop talking and just kill him!” Daniel shouted from the floor. “Yes, Mr. Daniel. I’ll take care of it right now!” Bryce said respectfully. When he looked at Dustin, his eyes were full of murderous intent. “Beat him to death! Don’t hesitate. Just do it!” Bryce fiercely ordered his men. Over ten people rushed toward Dustin. They were ready to attack. But the people Dustin brought with him blocked his way. The room was small, and they could not get throu
“Captain, you…” Bryce’s subordinates looked at him in surprise. “Shut up! All of you, apologize to him!” Bryce shouted. They did not hesitate. Like Bryce, they all bowed to Dustin and asked for his forgiveness. “Just leave.” Dustin waved his hand impatiently. “Thank you…” Bryce said. Then, he quickly ran downstairs. He was so scared that he thought even a second of delay could lead to trouble. His subordinates stood there confused for a moment, then quickly followed him. They ran downstairs like they were fleeing from the scene. Daniel watched them in shock. How scared were they of Dustin? Was it really that bad? Why were they so afraid? Daniel did not get it. They should be more scared of him instead of Dustin. “Captain, why are you running? Is it really that bad?” Bryce’s group caught up to him. They were all out of breath. “How can I not be scared?” Bryce rolled his eyes. “That young man’s subordinate is five ranks higher than me, and the others are all big
Thinking about Simone’s request, Daniel sneered. “As long as the Wilder family is in Hattan, you’ll never succeed in the pharmaceutical field!” … Sunrise Pharmaceuticals was the Langley family’s pharmaceutical company in Hattan. It was well-known in Hattan’s pharmaceutical industry. Normally, Luna’s family ran the company. Darren was the general manager, and Luna was the department manager. “Ms. Langley, bad news! You need to see this!” a subordinate suddenly said. Confused, Luna stepped outside and saw a new company across the street having its grand opening. “Dusmone Pharmaceuticals…” She stared at the name and was speechless. She also saw Simone and Dustin cutting the ribbon on stage. “Opening a hospital wasn’t enough, and now, they’re starting a pharmaceutical company right across from us? This is a direct challenge!” Luna had a hard time breathing because of the anger she felt. Dustin had once said he would beat them in their strongest field. At first, the ma
“What did you say?!” In the Langley family villa’s living room, Conan slammed his hand on the table. He was shocked and angry. “This can’t be possible! How could they do this?” The other Langley family members were also shocked and could not believe it. They were reacting like this because one of their family members had just brought in the latest news. Dusmone Pharmaceuticals had just been set up, and they had been keeping a close eye on them. The person had brought back news about Dusmone Pharmaceuticals, and it shocked everyone. “They’re selling all the same drugs as Sunrise Pharmaceuticals, but theirs are much more effective?! That can’t be true!” The Langley family members could not accept it. “It’s true! Their prices are much lower than ours,” the person said seriously. Hearing this, everyone was worried. Not only were their drugs more effective, but they were also cheaper! It was a huge problem. How could Sunrise Pharmaceuticals compete with them? It was
Conan’s face was grim. His expression was so dark it seemed like a storm was brewing. They could lower their prices, but Dusmone Pharmaceuticals could do that as well. The real problem was that their drugs were not as effective as Dusmone Pharmaceuticals. They were bound to lose this price war. “When will the new drugs be ready?” Conan demanded. “The R&D department says, even in the best case, it’ll take at least a year for the new drugs to be ready,” someone said softly. “A year?!” Conan snarled. Everyone fell silent. Could Sunrise Pharmaceuticals last that long? With Dusmone Pharmaceuticals’s targeted attacks, it would only take a month for their company to tank, let alone a year. “Maybe we should talk to David?” someone said. “Give in to them? No way!” others immediately retorted. The main family had always looked down on the branch family and could not bring themselves to lower their pride. “Have you heard the big news in Hattan?” Luna suddenly asked. Ever
At 6 p.m., the main Langley family gathered at Conan’s request and headed to Glory Hotel for Foxtin’s press conference. Archer, who had not shown up in a while, made an appearance with his noticeable blonde hair. “How could I miss a moment like this?” he said with a grin. Not long ago, Dustin had broken his hand, and it was still in a cast. It was not fully healed. Still, this was a great chance to be seen, and he did not want to miss it. The main reason was that he wanted to show off his luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom. His father, Orion, took the luxury car from Dustin, and he was really happy about it. His old Porsche was not even worth a million, so the two cars were on completely different levels. “Archer, your hand isn’t healed yet. Let me drive,” someone said. The Rolls-Royce had everyone in the family jealous. It was worth tens of millions, after all. “No need. I can drive it with one hand. I’ll just go slower if I have to,” Archer firmly said. “Archer, I’ll
“The car is worth nearly 10 million dollars. You must have paid a lot for that thing, right? I wonder if you’ve made enough money in the past few days to cover the cost,” Luna said with a smug grin. “Don’t get too confident. You think stealing our formula will destroy us? Keep dreaming. Once we get the distribution rights for the longevity pill and the beauty pill, Dusmone Pharmaceuticals will be nothing compared to us. Even the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the country will have to step aside! “You think you can still compete with us then?” “You haven’t gotten the distribution rights yet,” David shot back. These people were celebrating way too early. “Ha! Do you think you can even imagine the kind of connections we have?” The Langley family smirked and were even more arrogant. Thud! Thud! Thud! Suddenly, a large group of law enforcement officers in uniform stormed into the underground parking lot and headed straight for them. “What’s going on? Are they here to ar
They arrived at Glory Hotel for the press conference. The launch of the longevity pill and the beauty pill was a big deal, and it shook up the entire pharmaceutical market. With Skyler in charge, these pills had become famous across the country and even internationally. Many people were excited and eagerly waiting for them to be released. Because of this, many people wanted to get the rights to sell the pills. Simone had expected the event to be busy but was still surprised when she saw the crowd. Every person there was a well-known figure in the industry representing a powerful pharmaceutical company. At first, she thought only companies from Hattan would be competing, but she was wrong. Here, apart from a few top companies, almost no other pharmaceutical companies from Hattan were considered important. Pharmaceutical companies from all over the country had sent representatives to the event. “Wow…” The main Langley family was surprised when they entered the venue
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
