The banquet hall was brimming with guests. Morgan led Dustin and Patricia in through the back entrance and deliberately chose a discreet spot for them to sit. “Don’t let Uncle and the others see you, or they’ll throw you out,” Morgan said before hurrying off. She had her own duties to attend to. As time passed, most of the guests arrived. Damien stopped greeting visitors at the door and returned to the banquet hall to mingle with the crowd. A moment later, the frail and elderly Terry was escorted out by Damien and his brother, Percy. Leading the way was Zack. The entire room stood up immediately to show their respect. They helped Terry to the seat of honor at the table. Zack took a seat beside him while Damien and Percy sat to either side. At the back of the hall, Patricia raised her head to look at the elderly man at the seat of honor. His frail body and vacant gaze made her heart ache. “Dustin, my great-grandfather doesn’t seem to be reacting at all,” Pat

“The heir of the Pierce family personally attends the Yeager family’s birthday banquet… What an honor!” The Yeager family members stood tall and proud amid the murmuring guests. It was such a prestigious moment for them. They accepted the gift with gratitude and invited Adrian to take a seat. Next, Kendall stepped forward. “Kendall from Dhillon Enterprises presents an ancient carriage statue worth 50 million dollars.” Kendall’s smile broadened as staff carried in the item. “Such extravagance!” The guests gasped. Most gifts were worth a few million, maybe over ten million if generous. But Kendall’s gift was valued at 50 million... It even surpassed Duscia Corporation’s 30-million-dollar gift. It was a whole new level of generosity. Kendall stole the show, and no one else could compare. “Hahaha! Thank you for the generous gift, Dhillon family!” Zack beamed with joy. “The Dhillon family is ridiculously wealthy to give such an expensive gift…” “You don’t

“Pfft!” Laughter erupted in the room before he even finished. He had just taken forever to unwrap a tiny bead the size of a bean and even claimed it was worth 80 million. How dare he? The price was astronomical. It far exceeded Kendall’s 50-million-dollar ancient carriage statue. No one believed him. If he had said it was worth a thousand, maybe they would have believed him. “Is this guy a complete fool? He must be here as comic relief.” “No doubt about it. He’s just here to liven up the banquet.” The entire room was mocking him. Even the Yeager family members and Kendall were stunned. They could not believe it. A bean-sized bead? This was beyond absurd. “I overestimated him,” said Kendall and sneered. This fool could not even muster the dignity to make himself look good. How could anyone compare him to Kendall? They were not even in the same league. “Idiot! As expected, he’s completely embarrassed himself,” said Damien and cursed silently. The Y

“What’s wrong? Mr. Leach, do you recognize this item?” The guests crowded around. “This... It’s identical! But... it shouldn’t be here!” Brandson Leach inspected the bead over and over. His expression shifted between shock and disbelief. The members of the Yeager family were visibly unsettled. Even Zack stepped forward. “Mr. Leach, have you seen this before? Do you know its origin?” Zack asked. “I just returned from Summerdale, where I attended a major auction a few days ago,” Brandson said. “It was quite the event. Many powerful figures from top-tier families were present…” Everyone perked up and hung on his every word. “The centerpiece of the auction was a small bead. It was said to be over 2000 years old. It once belonged to an emperor known as the First Emperor! “Legend has it that the emperor carried the bead with him throughout his life. He was never sick, possessed divine strength, and could slay enemies effortlessly. Even when mortally wounded, he miraculous

Dustin held the bead and stood in the center of the crowd under their stunned gazes. They were stunned by the bead’s value and its sudden appearance here. No one could comprehend how or why. A bead that had sparked a bidding war among top-tier elites in Summerdale Auction House was beyond priceless. Its value was indisputable. But had Stanley not bought it for 150 million? How had it traveled thousands of miles from the Kennedy family to a small city like Hattan? There was also the fact that Dustin claimed to have bought it for 80 million as a gift for Terry. Stanley had paid a massive price for the bead. Why would he sell it away? Even if he did sell it, why would he sell it at an amount that was not even half of its original price? It defied reason. Dustin was just a useless son-in-law of the Yeager family. How could he possibly have connections with someone of such high status? Too many unanswered questions hung in the air and left the guests bewildered. But

He refused. He turned down the olive branch the Yeager family extended to him. Zack’s face darkened once again. Warren and Percy glared at Dustin. They did not bother to lower themselves. They believed that offering him and Patricia some form of acceptance was a grand act of the Yeager family’s generosity. Yet he had the audacity not to reject it? Damien and Alex smiled faintly. Patricia let out a soft sigh. She had wanted to return to the Yeager family. When Zack made the offer, she had wished Dustin would agree. Unfortunately, he refused. But she did not blame Dustin. After all, receiving so much unfairness naturally left some resentment in him. Dustin returned to the banquet while Zack addressed the guests. He told them to enjoy themselves. However, his face remained icy. “Hey there, young man. I’m the head of Aurora Enterprises. It’s an honor to meet you. Cheers…” “Young man, that bead of yours is quite remarkable. Are you interested in similar items

Dustin exchanged pleasantries with the guests for a while before returning to Patricia’s side. “You lied to me again.” Patricia pouted and pinched him. “Ow! How can you be so ruthless?” Dustin pulled a dramatic face and acted like he was in pain. “Hmph!” Patricia huffed. “You said we’d just bring something from an antique shop as a gift. Where did that bead come from? Did you really spend 80 million on it?” “80 million was necessary. Since they paid 150 million for it, I couldn’t go too low, right?” Dustin said. If anyone else had heard that, they would have been apoplectic. Was he listening to himself? It was sold for 150 million, and he got it for 80 million. Was he still not satisfied? Moreover, the bead was actually worth more than 150 million. It was priced that way only because other elite families had done Stanley a massive favor. “You’re going to bankrupt yourself. Half of your grandfather’s inheritance is nearly gone. What will you do next?” Patricia

“My head feels dizzy… I think I slept for too long,” said Terry in an old and trembling voice. At that moment, everyone, including the Yeager family members and the guests, froze in shock. “W-What’s going on?” They stared in confusion at what was happening. Dustin had only patted Terry’s back lightly, yet Terry suddenly became clear-headed and aware again. He was supposed to be suffering from severe dementia and was a bedridden vegetable. What was this? “Great-grandfather!” Patricia exclaimed. She ran into Terry’s arms and burst into tears. “Tricia, my good girl,” Terry said kindly as he gently patted her head. “Why are there so many people here today? Is there something to celebrate?” Terry asked. The guests stared at him in surprise. Seeing how energetic and clear-headed he was, they could not believe he had severe dementia. Even Zack and the other Yeager family members were in disbelief, let alone the guests. The doctor had told them that Terry did not have m

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
