“The Quinn family of Central Harbor. Is that right? Is it really the Quinn family?” All the guests were taken aback after it was announced. They wondered if they had heard wrongly. The Quinn family of Central Harbor was a truly important family. They were one of the greatest and most elite families of Lovellia! They held a much higher position than any of the families in Somerton, including the Wilder family! For the main Langley family, the Wilder family was one they could barely hope to get close to. However, the Quinn family was even greater than the Wilder family. It was difficult to imagine the full power the patriarch of the Quinn family had. Yet, that lofty person was personally there to wish Alvern a very happy birthday. It was shocking! What kind of clout did Alvern have that even Jasper had come here? Daniel’s jaw dropped, and he looked thoroughly shocked. This had far surpassed his imagination. The guests who had come to this birthday banquet completel
At the Wyatt family in Rivenesco, Lovellia, a handsome young man rushed into the house.Dustin Fox walked into the living room carrying a cake. Five gorgeous women came up to meet him.They were the five stunning sisters of the Wyatt family. The eldest, Amara, was dressed in office attire that did nothing to hide her amazing figure. The second sister, Bella, was cold and distant. Her beauty was marked by a chilling elegance.The third sister, Clara, wore a short skirt and high heels. She was no less than a seductive temptress. The fourth sister, Delia, was in casual dress. Her features were softer but no less pretty. The youngest sister, Elisa, was lively and charming.“Happy birthday, Amara!” Dustin beamed as he presented the cake to her.Amara glanced at the cake coldly. It was crumbling a little, and the box was a little blood-stained.Frowning, Amara slapped the cake box away and sent it flying. When it landed on the floor, the cake was smashed into a pitiful pile.Amara loo
“Where should I go now?”Dustin looked up at the sky and sighed. He felt a little lost.Up until that point, he had done everything for the Wyatt family. Suddenly he had been kicked out of the family, so he did not know what to do.The beep of a car horn sounded right then.A vintage car stopped in front of the gates. A pretty woman in a long white dress got out of the car.Dustin knew her.Her name was Simone Langley, and he had saved her life once before.In truth, Amara had been facing an assassination attempt back then. After the assassin failed his attempt, Dustin had chased after him. The assassin had used Simone as a hostage when Dustin had saved her by killing him.“Mr. Fox, please come with me,” she said gently. Simone extended a hand to Dustin with a smile.“You saved my life once. Now that the Wyatt family has driven you out, why don’t you come join me in the Langley family? Although my family has fallen on hard times, we’ll still give you the best that we have!” Si
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 not
“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.“D
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. I have only one goal from now, and that is to utterly destroy the Langley family.”The other sisters were all quiet.Once Amara decided to do something, she stopped at nothing until it was done.That was the kind of power she had as the president of the Wyatt Group.“That insolent Dustin told me to get lost!” Amara’s voice was icy.The scene at the Langley family kept r
“Dustin Fox, you stole a check worth a million dollars from the Wyatt family. 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. She had limited knowledge about many things.When she had j

“Happy Seventieth Birthday, Mr. Langley,” Braddick said and bowed to Alvern. The action shocked everyone. Braddick was the patriarch of a great family in Somerton, but he actually bowed to Alvern! Could this be Daniel’s doing? If it was, then Daniel’s influence as the son of the Wilder family was truly impressive. “Daniel, did you invite these people here?” Alvern asked softly. Daniel could not help but frown. “Maybe they rushed over here because they heard that I’m here.” “Truly, your reputation precedes you,” the members of the main Langley family said. They were all smiles. Although Daniel’s logic was sound, Thaddeus and Braddick only wished Alvern happy birthday and did not approach Daniel to speak to him. It was as if they were ignoring him. For a moment, Daniel’s pride took a hit. His face twisted in annoyance. ‘How dare the insignificant Shrike family ignore me? Do they want to die?’ After agonizing about it for a bit, he decided to throw his weight around an
“Who is Dustin Fox?” some members of the National Pharmaceutical Department yelled loudly as they stormed in. “That’s him!” The members of the main Langley family pointed at Dustin. “You are suspected of stealing confidential drugs from the National Pharmaceutical Department. You’d best comply and help with our investigation. If you don’t, you’ll have to face the consequences!” The people from the National Pharmaceutical Department were very aggressive. “Come with us now!” Daniel and the members of the main Langley family were all laughing. Meanwhile, Simone and her parents were worried. “Very well,” Dustin said flatly. “Wait for my return,” he said to Simone. Then, he followed the people from the National Pharmaceutical Department. Daniel looked away from Dustin. He was still smiling. He watched as the members of the main Langley family simpered before him before looking over at Simone, who was standing quietly nearby. He felt delighted. Dustin had beaten him up be
“Come here and bow before Daniel. If you apologize and slap yourself twenty times, he will forgive you.” Dustin’s gaze was sharp, and his posture became threatening. Were the members of the main Langley family serious? They wanted him to slap himself twenty times and beg for forgiveness? This was supposed to be the kind of negotiation they had done with Daniel on the family’s behalf? This was an out-and-out insult! The guests all looked amused at the proceedings. The members of the main Langley family were truly heartless in making one of their own family members beg an outsider for forgiveness. They were really giving their all to suck up to Daniel. Dustin looked pitiful. He had offended someone he should not have and gotten into such trouble with the main Langley family. At this point, everyone was waiting to see if Dustin would bow under pressure. “Are you deaf, Dustin?” the members of the main Langley family shouted. “Hurry up and beg Daniel for forgiveness!
“Actually, everyone, Mr. Daniel of the Wilder family of Somerton has some connection with us,” Alvern said loudly to the guests as he held Daniel’s hand. The guests were suddenly in an uproar. The Langley family was not very famous. It was a shock that they had any sort of connection with the Wilder family. If the Wilder family gave them just the slightest bit of a boost, the Langley family would be able to soar to unimaginable heights. “Daniel isn’t just here to celebrate my birthday tonight. We have another important matter to settle,” Alvern said. “Mr. Langley, what is the matter?” someone asked inquisitively. Alvern looked around and paused. “Some of you might have already heard whispers of it. Dustin Fox, Simone’s fiance from the branch family, beat Daniel up for no reason a few days ago and injured him severely.” The guests’ expressions turned stiff. Indeed, there were whispers of the incident. The whole thing had shaken up Hattan. It seemed that there w
All the other grandchildren presented worthy gifts, even though the most valuable presents were worth only tens or thousands of dollars. “Good! This is great!” Alvern was beaming where he sat. He was very pleased. “Simone Langley, a member of the branch Langley family, and her fiance present a petrified coral.” When it was Dustin and Simone’s turn, Dustin brought out the antique he had won at the Antiquities Trading Hall. When it was brought out, there was instantly an uproar. “I heard that this is a very rare antique. It’s worth no less than 20 million dollars. It’s a rare gem!” muttered the guests. “Dustin is too generous. Doesn’t the Langley family look down on him? How could he possibly have the ability to spend so much money?” Some of the guests were shocked. The members of the main Langley family turned ashen when the petrified coral was presented. They were very displeased. Meanwhile, Alvern’s eyes were sparkling. He was very pleased with the gift. The mai
There was an invitation card on a table at the villa where Simone and her family were staying. David and Simone frowned as they looked at it. It was from the main Langley family. “Alvern Langley will have his seventieth birthday soon and has invited us to the banquet. They even said that they will return the things we seek,” David said. “Our families are estranged, so why did they send us this invitation? It must be a trap!” Simone agreed as well. “Let’s ignore them. They’re on the verge of bankruptcy anyway. When the time comes, they will naturally have to return those things to us anyway.” Dustin only smiled. “We should go. Why shouldn’t we? I sure want to see what they have planned.” It was about time to deal with the main Langley family once and for all. … It was a big day for the main Langley family. Alvern Langley, the eldest member of the main Langley family, was about to celebrate his seventieth birthday. Dustin and Simone were all cleaned up and
The members of the main Langley family gathered in the main hall of their home. They had been thoroughly humiliated during the launch event. At the same time, all their hopes had been crushed. Without the sales rights of those drugs, their pharmaceutical company had no way to grow. At this point, Dusmone Pharmaceuticals had pushed Sunrise Pharmaceuticals right to the edge. The company’s stock price reached a trench, and the main Langley family lost nearly a trillion dollars in just a few days. As for Dusmone Pharmaceuticals, they were currently doubling down on their efforts. The main Langley family could do nothing to challenge them. None of them had any ideas for how to counter the situation. Right then, a member of their staff came up with more bad news. “Is this true?” In the seat of honor, Conan glared at the servant. “Sir, it’s true! All of Rivenesco knows about it. Everyone knows that Dustin beat up the eldest son of the Wilder family of Somerton. He’s cur
“Please sit.” The movers were very polite as they placed the chairs behind David and Monique. Brian took over from a mover and placed Simone’s chair for her personally. “Miss Simone, please sit,” Brian said with a smile. Simone and her family were stunned and did not dare to sit down. Why was Foxtin suddenly treating them so well? Conan and the others were similarly confused. Their expressions were ones of shock. Why was Foxtin treating these insignificant members of the branch family so well? They were the important ones here! “Mr. Foxtin, these three are not members of our family!” Conan had no choice but to remind Foxtin loudly. “Are you certain?” Foxtin’s voice was chilly. “Positive!” Conan said solemnly. “Since you have no relation, what did you come in here for? Do you think you have what it takes to be in this hall?” Foxtin suddenly shouted. The members of the main Langley family were stunned. “But… didn’t you ask us to come in?” someone asked weakly
