Chapter 785

Author: Autumn Rain
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?”

    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

    “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?

    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

    Nico was being very arrogant, but Dustin did not care. However, Patricia was really worried. She was not afraid of Nico, but she feared Dustin might be punished by the Zabel family. “Mr. Zabel, please calm down. Dustin didn’t mean to say that. I apologize on his behalf. Actually, Dustin and I were secretly promised to each other,” she said to make Nico back off. But Patricia’s apology only made Nico angrier. He felt insulted and mocked. “Are you making a fool out of me?!” he shouted angrily at Evan and Yvonne. “The Yeager family sure is bold! Are you trying to provoke the Zabel family? Can you handle the Zabel family’s anger?” Nico’s outburst frightened Evan and Yvonne. “Mr. Zabel, please calm down. There’s more to this!” they quickly said. “Dustin has almost nothing. He can’t give Patricia a good life and is not good enough for her. “If Patricia marries someone as noble as you, it would be a great blessing for us. She would be honored! “We did this for her happ

    “What?! You want to go to the seventh floor?” After they recovered from their shock, Nico, Evan, and Yvonne looked at Dustin like he was crazy. “That’s impossible. Who do you think you are?” “Do you even know what kind of status you need to get to the seventh floor?” “No one has been up there in almost ten years because no one that powerful had ever turned up. You’re spouting nonsense! This is unbelievable!” The three of them laughed at Dustin. They laughed at how clueless he was and how out of touch with reality he seemed! Patricia felt a bit uncertain and said softly, “Dustin, you’re talking out of your league. “The Riverine has always been a place for the rich and powerful. Only important people can come here. “Each floor shows a higher status. The Zabel family is one of the top families in Hattan, like the old Kennedy family, so Nico has the right to go to the fifth floor. “Only a few people can go to the sixth floor, and they’re the most important figures from

    Miles could not believe Dustin dared to say that he wanted to go to the seventh floor. Was he joking? “Young man, the seventh floor isn’t somewhere you can just claim to go. I suggest you think about your position and status!” Miles said angrily. “Take him and send him to the Governor’s office to face punishment!” Evan and Yvonne shouted. “I’m waiting for something,” Dustin said calmly. “When it arrives, you’ll be begging me to go up.” Not long ago, he had sent a message. He expected a response soon. “Hahaha!” Miles laughed in disbelief. “I’ve been working at this restaurant for years. This is the first time I’ve seen someone this arrogant! “Fine, I’m curious to see what could be so important that we’d beg you to go to the seventh floor. “If there’s nothing, you’ll probably spend the rest of your life in jail!” The group waited. Everyone except Patricia, who was worried about Dustin, looked at him coldly. Just as they were getting impatient, there was a commo

    “M-Mr. Dustin, please proceed to the seventh floor. Every staff member of the Riverine will serve you to our utmost capabilities! Your patronage is a great honor to us!” The restaurant’s manager, Miles Visser, ducked his head as he bowed. He was very respectful as he requested for Dustin to head up to the seventh floor. “We hope that you will overlook our mistake from before. I guarantee that it will never happen again!” he apologized in a trembling voice. His tone was full of humility. Miles had no choice but to bow to authority. He had never imagined that Dustin might have been telling the truth. It seemed that he did have the ability to go up to the seventh floor. Even more unbelievable was how highly Zach regarded Dustin. After all, he had sent his assistant to hand over the special gold token and make this announcement. From then on, the entire Riverine Restaurant, which was a place countless people dreamed of stepping foot into, would be Dustin’s stomping ground alon

    If the Yeager family tried to get Patricia to marry someone they chose, it would be going against the edict of the governor! That was not the kind of offense that any family in Hattan would dare to risk, much less the much inferior Yeager family. “Is Dustin the governor’s biological son or something? Why does Governor Ramos care so much?” Evan and Yvonne were confused as to what was going on. Dustin wanted to go to the Riverine’s seventh floor, and Zach sent along his gold token to turn the seventh floor into Dustin’s sole territory. With one word, Dustin had gotten Zach to use his influence to forbid anyone from manipulating Patricia’s marriage. What kind of relationship did Dustin have with Zach? Nico frowned. He was also feeling discomfited. He no longer dared to make any move on Patricia. “Dustin, did you ask Governor Ramos to do this?” Patricia asked softly and smiled. “You did great,” she praised him. With the governor’s order, no one would be able t

    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
