Chapter 591

"Speak of the devil! The simpleton is here!" Florence had barely finished her sentence when a group of three came in through the doors of Saffron Restaurant. It was none other than Dustin, Dahlia, and Julie."Terrence Stone!" Julie's eyes swept the place once she entered. She quickly spotted Terrence in the private room and stormed over angrily."Julie, hear me out!" Terrence was just about to explain himself with an awkward smile on his face when, without any prior warning, Julie slapped him across the face. Caught off guard, he cupped his cheek with his hand, unable to react."Why are you being so aggressive, Julie?" Victoria reprimanded her immediately."Why are you defending him, Mom? Did he not deserve that?" Beside herself with anger, Julie saw nothing wrong with her actions. He deserved that slap very much for cheating her money and taking advantage of her feelings for him. "You're mistaken! Terrence isn't a swindler!" Victoria swiftly pulled Julie aside."He's not a swindler?

That was the mannerism of a true gentleman! At that moment, Terrence appeared heroic."You're in luck, Dustin! What are you waiting for? Why aren't you thanking Terrence? He decided to buy that rubbish off your hands!" Julie announced proudly."There's no need for that. We're all friends. I can't bear to see you suffer such a loss. Just give me the ownership of that piece of land, and we've got a deal," Terrence said with an amiable smile."When did I agree to the deal?" Dustin asked."What?" Terrence thought that he had heard Dustin wrong. He never thought that he would be rejected. Julie and the rest of them were astonished too. Unable to comprehend what was going on in Dustin's head, they assumed that he had lost his marbles. After all, who would turn down money and choose to hold on to a piece of trash?"Dustin, did you not hear what I said? The abandoned construction site is worth nothing, and you have no use for it! Why don't you just sell it to me?" Terrence tried to talk some s

On the way back, Dustin could tell that Dahlia had questions for him but was battling herself against questioning him. He smiled to himself at her curiosity and decided to give her an opening. "Shoot away if you've got any questions. There's no need to hold them in.""I do not understand why you turned down Terrence's offer to purchase the site of the abandoned building!" Dahlia blurted out. "Everyone knows that it's worthless now, so there's no point holding onto it. You would have been better off selling it and recovering your loss!" Though she had promised and was determined to not concern herself with Dustin's business anymore, she still could not help but feel bad that he had missed out on a good opportunity to make up for the loss he had made."Well, why would Terrence want to buy that piece of land when everyone knows that it's worthless?" Dustin asked."Didn't he just say that he doesn't want to take advantage of you because you're friends?" Dahlia retorted."Haha! Do you real

"That's alright; I can move into a smaller house. You, youngsters, are way too stressed out these days. As an elder, it's only right for me to help you out however I can.""I'm not stressed out. Life is as breezy as it can get for me." Dustin and Florence bantered back and forth through the phone, neither of them coming clean with the truth. Since Florence took him as an idiot, Dustin gladly went along with the act and pretended to not know any better. It was Dahlia, however, who found the conversation unbearable. She now fully believed what Dustin had told her. Her mother would not be so nice to Dustin otherwise. What she said about atoning for her wrongdoings and relieving Dustin of his burdens was all bullshit! Florence had been grinning from ear to ear when she managed to scam Dustin into buying that piece of land! Now that she knew she had made a loss by selling it, she chose to put on a righteous and upright facade to buy it back instead of being honest with Dustin. She was de

James was happily engrossed in a game of Taxus Poker at an illegal casino that evening. Beside him sat a young lady with short hair who was dressed in revealing attire. Judging from the casino chips on the table, it looked like they had been winning a lot."I have a pair of Queens. Show your hand!" A man with a hooked nose who sat opposite James revealed his hand."You dare challenge me with just a pair of Queens? Keep your eyes open, buddy. I've got Three of a Kind!" James grinned, flipping his cards over to show a pair of sixes. Since there was a six in one of the five community cards, they made a set of three sixes, also known as three of a kind.The rules of Taxus Poker are simple. There were five community cards, and each player was dealt two hole cards. These can then be combined in any way to form the best five-card hand. The highest-ranking hand is a Royal Flush, followed by Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Three of a Kind, Two Pair, One Pair, and finally, a High Card."James

Without even looking at what was typed out on the promissory note, James proceeded to sign it and immediately joined the next round of the game. But in less than 15 minutes, he lost all two billion dollars worth of chips again."We're out of chips again, James! Should we borrow more?" The young lady asked once again."Yes! Get as much as you can!" James growled. At that moment, he had completely lost control of his senses, his actions only driven by the relentless desire to win back what he lost and make the man with the hooked nose regret what he said.Two hours later, James was drenched in sweat and panting uncontrollably; his eyes were bloodshot. His expression was somewhat horrifying."Sorry man, Three of a Kind and One Pair. That makes a Full House. You've lost again." The man opposite him showed his hand and smiled meanly."Go! Borrow some more! I refuse to believe that I'll keep losing today!" James shouted."You've already lost too much, James. They refuse to lend you anymore,"

In the president's office at Nicholson Corp., Dahlia took a sip of coffee and continued immersing herself in work. Although Hank didn't show it, he was facing all sorts of obstacles in private. He pushed every matter to her, regardless of whether it was big or small, which caused her to be so busy that she had to work overtime every day till midnight."Ms. Nicholson…" Right then, a young female assistant knocked on the door all of a sudden."What is it?" Dahlia looked up at her. Because Julie wasn't a very reliable secretary, she hired another assistant, Kelly Porch, to share the workload. "Ms. Nicholson, someone sent you a parcel and asked me to pass it to you directly. The person mentioned that it's a surprise," Kelly said, holding a gift box. "Okay, put it on the desk." Dahlia nodded, then a thought struck her. "Kelly, it's getting late. You should head home first. You don't have to wait for me." "Okay, Ms. Nicholson." Kelly turned around and left. Dahlia rubbed her eyes a

"Cash?" Dahlia frowned and said, "Where will I get so much cash at such short notice?" "That's for you to figure out. We only accept cash here," Duncan said casually."You're just making things difficult for me on purpose!" Dahlia's expression was icy. She would probably need a truck to transport 38 million dollars worth of cash."Ms. Nicholson, mind your words. Does your brother still want to keep his other hand?" Duncan swept his gaze toward James."You—!" Dahlia gritted her teeth and managed to control herself. "Can you give me two days? I'll bring you the cash as fast as I can.""I wouldn't say no, but you have to have a few drinks with me first." Duncan stood up slowly and took two glasses out from the drinks cabinet. He filled them with whisky and handed one to Dahlia. "Drink this, and I'll consider giving you two days.""What?" Looking at the glass full of whisky, Dahlia couldn't help but frown slightly. Duncan obviously didn't have good intentions. She didn't know if she

Dustin stepped through the door, his gaze terrifyingly cold.From the moment he saw Dahlia's text, he knew something was wrong, so he rushed here as fast as he could."W—what are you doing here?!" Duncan's eyes widened, and he staggered backward in fear."Didn't you call me to ask me to come over? Well, now I'm here. What are you going to do?" Dustin began approaching him."Someone, come quick!" Duncan screamed.However, strangely enough, no one outside responded. It was as though those men stationed outside had disappeared into thin air. "Where the fuck are you all? Hello?!" Duncan continued hollering.But no matter how much he yelled, there was no response."I warned you before not to cross me again. Or else, you'll die a miserable death. What, did you think I was bullshitting you?" Dustin was getting closer and closer."Rhys, you're on my territory. I'm warning you to not come any closer, or you won't step out of this place ever again!" Duncan shouted, putting on a fierce

"If you promise not to kill me, I'll tell you the truth," Duncan said, attempting to negotiate terms."No thanks. You can just go die." As soon as Dustin finished speaking, he stomped his foot hard on Duncan's head."No—!" Duncan tried to wail before his head exploded into pieces. And just like that, he was dead."Mr. Rhys, the people outside have been taken care of."At that moment, two masked martial artists dressed in black garments walked in. They were elite shadow guards."Excellent. Clean this place up, and send the body straight to the Doyle home," Dustin ordered.The two exchanged glances, but in the end, they still nodded. "Yes." Dustin said nothing more. He carried the unconscious Dahlia and briskly walked out of the underground casino.The moment he stepped out the doors, he noticed a suspicious figure lurking in a corner. It was none other than James, who had managed to escape earlier."Come out!" Dustin threw a glance over his shoulder."Oh, it's just you. You s
