âSimone, are you alright?âDustin gently pressed a warm cloth to Simoneâs face and asked in concern.Simone looked at him with tenderness.âIâm fine. You should check on Miss ElisaâŠâ she whispered as she looked at Elisa.Elisa had been slapped twice, and both her cheeks were swollen. She was in far worse shape than her.âSheâs just an outsider. Why should I bother about her? I might go as far as to say that the slap wasnât nearly hard enough,â said Dustin coldly.Simone opened her mouth but did not say anything.The Wyatt family had kicked Dustin out of the family first. They had been so cruel to him, so she supported Dustin.Elisa covered her face and stood by the window as she stared outside.She could hear their conversation.When she heard Dustin calling her an outsider, she felt furious.He used to be a servant of the Wyatt family. How dare he act like he was someone important?âUngrateful brat! That b*stard!â she cursed at him.She vowed to take her revenge for the s
Even after the Langley family bid farewell to Ronald and the leaders of the Serpentine Gang, they could not quite wrap their heads around what had happened.âThe members of the Serpentine Gang were very polite. They were completely different from how they were before,â David said seriously. âPoliteness isnât really in the Serpentine Gangâs vocab.âThe Serpentine Gang was the most predominant of all the gangs in Rivenesco, and they had a fearsome reputation aside from just one defeat against Elisa a few years ago.This time was just as unexpected and unpredictable as last time.Why were they so harsh to Elisa, while treating the Langley family so politely?âWhatâs the reason?â David thought and frowned.Although this was a good thing, it was very strange and made him overthink.âDavid, donât think too much about it. Isnât the Langley Group collaborating with the Excelsior Group? With the reputation of the Excelsior Group, it is only natural that the Serpentine Gang would show you
Moon Pavilion by Rivenesco Lakeside was the most prestigious restaurant in Rivenesco. It was built in an ancient architectural style and was very popular among the wealthy and influential.It was a very expensive restaurant. Even the rich businessmen in Rivenesco needed to think twice before dining on the highest floors of the restaurant.Today, the Wyatt family had deliberately booked two private rooms on the top floor to welcome the famous physicians from Lovellia who had traveled from afar.Amara and Delia stood at the entrance on the first floor of Moon Pavilion and welcomed them.Amara was very good at planning such things.She used the influence of the Medical Sage to charm these excellent physicians and tried her best to build a good relationship with them to expand the Wyatt familyâs network.The status of top grade physicians in Lovellia was already quite high, so it was worth it to network with them.The sisters welcomed them with warm smiles as each top grade physicia
Dustin led Simone to the fifth floor of Moon Pavilion.Since Delia had used his name to summon all the physicians of Lovellia to Rivenesco, he could not just stand by and watch.When they reached the fifth floor, they saw two rooms with their doors wide open. Most of the people inside were elderly physicians.These people were all top grade physicians of Lovellia, and they held high statuses within their community.Dustin led Simone into a room across from them but did not shut the door. That way, he could watch the physicians.Some of the top grade physicians talked among themselves excitedly and wanted to meet the Medical Sage as soon as possible.After all, the Medical Sage was the highest-ranked physician in the medical field and was no less than a legend. Even top grade physicians respected him.âIf Miss Delia is the Medical Sageâs student, that means sheâs really talented. Iâm envious of her. With the Medical Sage supporting them, the Wyatt family will never fall,â Simone
âSuch arrogance!â An elderly physician from one of the rooms stood up as his face darkened. âYou donât respect the Williams family? You must have a powerful background, right? Pray tell, who are you to say such things?!â That physician took a few steps forward and looked Dustin in the eye. His presence was intimidating. âDr. Lewis,â Amara said politely. âThis is Dustin Fox, once an orphan adopted by us. Due to certain reasons, he was kicked out of the family. Since then, he has had a grudge against us and wants revenge. He came here today to cause trouble and to ruin everyoneâs chance to meet the Medical Sage. âI truly regret that we had such a person in our family. My apologies to all of you.â Amara apologized to all the physicians. âMiss Amara, this isnât your fault. You donât have to be responsible for this arrogant bratâs mistakes,â a physician said. âYou ignorant fool, how dare you come here to cause trouble?! The audacity!â âChase him out! This is an important event
âDamn it!â âThat didnât work eitherâŠâ A few more top grade physicians stepped forward to try. However, they were unable to cure Elijah. If they tried brute force and fed him more pills and painkillers, they might end up hurting Elijah even more, just like when Dr. Lewis had tried. The physicians fell silent and no longer dared to talk about how to treat Elijah. Just as Dustin had said, no one could save Elijah. Even though it was just nerve damage, none of the physicians could do anything about it. Elijahâs face turned paler, and his breathing grew ragged. Amara and Delia felt very anxious, and their faces turned ashen. âIs there really no one who can save Elijah?â They refused to believe it. Dustin was supposed to be worthless trash! How was he able to injure Elijah so badly to the point that these physicians were unable to do anything to help him? When she saw that Elijah was barely clinging to life, Amara finally blew up and shouted, âStop!â They could no
âStand up, Delia,â Dustin said coldly. âMr. Foxtin, youâve finally forgiven me?â Delia was delighted. âYouâre no longer my student. Donât go around saying that Iâm your teacher again!â Dustinâs words made her smile freeze on her face. âBut why?!â she cried out. Why was he still unwilling to forgive her? What had she done wrong? âYouâre not worthy of it!â Dustin snapped impatiently. Delia swayed and staggered back a few steps. Amara held her steady. Delia could not accept this. Meanwhile, Amara could not understand it either. She had asked Delia about it plenty of times, but they could not figure out what Delia had done to make Foxtin mad. It was as if the Medical Sage had suddenly turned against them without a reason. âSince there are plenty of physicians here, Iâll say this once more,â Dustin said coldly. âDelia Wyatt, the fourth daughter of the Wyatt family, is no longer my student and has not been one for a long time. From this moment, Iâm cutting all ties w
Dustin never imagined that Amara would end up begging on her knees before him so soon. Apparently, she was willing to set everything aside to save Elijah. Dustin knew very clearly how proud Amara was. He was surprised. âWhat a loving sister you are,â Dustin said mockingly. He had been with the Wyatt family for more than ten years and had been at the sistersâ beck and call at all times. He was practically a slave back then. He had sacrificed so much, but none of them had ever treated him like a person. Elijah had only been found and brought home recently, but Amara was ready to abandon her dignity to beg Dustin for him. âSomeone who has given more than ten years of his life to serve the Wyatt family, and a blood relative that you only just met⊠Are they really so different?â Dustin asked. Amara did not quite understand why Foxtin would ask such a thing. Did Foxtin know Dustin? âNo matter how much an outsider contributes to the family, he always remains an outsider.
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. âNo signing,â he said indifferently. The Yeager family members looked over at him.âWhat did you say?!â 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. âShut up! This isnât your place to speak!â Percy shouted. The Yeager family members were furious. They were afraid that Dustinâs reckless words would ruin the deal. âYou think just because you say, âno signing,â itâll be done? Do you think youâre the CEO of Duscia Corporation?!â Damien yelled at him. He
âWhatâs going on with our great-grandfather? Dustin is not even related to our family. How can he treat him better than us?âA 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.âStop talking!â Warren snapped.âDonât worry, he wonât remain so arrogant for long. Dad favors him. So? In this society, ability speaks louder than anything else,â Zack said in a low voice. âA man who lives off an inheritance without a proper job⊠even if he has some luck and inheritance, heâll squander it away in no time. Then, heâll struggle to get by. Dad will see the truth in time.âBesides, who knows how long Dad can stay conscious? Do you really think that kid can make Dad young again? I donât believe in such an absurd thing.âDad is already very old. We should just go along with this for now. Theyâre 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. âDad, this is Mr. Adrian Pierce, the general manager of Duscia Corporation. We always communicated with him about the collaboration,â said Warren as an introduction.Terry nodded, and he looked closely at Adrian. âThis young man is not someone ordinary.â His eyes gleamed sharply as he recognized Adrianâs 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. Adrianâs temperament was on par with the young heirs of Summerdale. âIâm Adrian Pierce. Itâs nice to meet you, Mr. Yeager.â 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. âUncle Percy,â said Patricia in greeting. âHmph! So, you still recognize me as your uncle,â 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. âToday, your great-grandfather invited you over for a meal. Youâd better behave at the dining table and make him happy,â Percy said. âWe will,â Patricia said. âWell, why are you so stubborn then? The Yeager family has agreed to let you return, yet you in
âThe 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. Iâm determined to build a huge business kingdom. âHonestly, these families in Hattan are just so-so. I donât take them seriously at all. But Duscia Corporation is fine. You just invested a hefty 2 billion right off the bat. Thatâs quite impressive.â Crispin smiled. âI came from the Southwestern region. I didnât bring many workers, so weâre lacking some manpower. Youâre an expert. Why donât you work for me? Iâll make it worth your while. How about it?â He confidently offered a job to Dustin and waited for his response. Dustin stared at him calmly. âRegardless of your background, you look quite ambitious to me, but you donât have sufficient capabilities. Hattan has limited you. If you work for me, your future will be promising!â 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. âMr. Pierce, youâre here.â The receptionist nodded at Adrian, and Adrian nodded back. Crispin and the driver, Nicholas Olson, assessed Adrian. âWhat a self-important person the general manager of Duscia Corporation is! How dare you make Mr. Tonra wait downstairs?â 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. âYouâre the general manager of Duscia Corporation, Adrian Pierce, yes?â Crispin looked at Adrian contemptuously. âIâve never heard of the Pierce family having a person with your name. Youâre quite capable of fooling the families of Hattan so easily with the same last name.â Thinking that he had dirt on Adrian, Crispin smiled very tauntingly. âWhat are yo
âI find it all quite interesting. This Duscia Corporation, this fake rich kid⊠Letâs go take a look.â âYes, sir.â At around 2 p.m., the Lamborghini stopped at the entrance of Duscia Corporation. The young man walked into the building with his driver. âHello, sir. How can I help you?â the receptionist asked. âThis is the son of the Tonra family of Articora. Have the person in charge of your company come and welcome him,â the driver announced loudly. âDo you have an appointment?â the receptionist asked with a smile. âWhat?â The young man, Crispin Tonra, immediately frowned. âWhat kind of receptionist are you? Havenât you heard of the Tonra family of Articora? Mr. Tonra of the ultra-rich Tonra family doesnât 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,â yelled the driver at the receptionist. âIâm 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. âItâs 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. âDustin,â Patricia called. She threw herself into Dustinâs embrace. She cried softly as she held onto Dustin tightly. âYouâre alright,â 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 Dustinâs embrace, Patricia finally cal
