"So, what you mean is that only they can bully us, but we aren't allowed to retaliate? So powerless people like us can only ever be terrorized and humiliated by powerful people like you? "Is it a sin to even think about protecting ourselves?" Dustin mocked. Despite losing her memories, Dahlia remained the same. She was still prejudiced and self-righteous. She never got the situation straight before jumping to conclusions. "I don't understand what you mean." Dahlia frowned slightly."My people came today to discuss business. As a shareholder of Camron Medicals, you should treat them with courtesy instead of resorting to threats." "We would naturally welcome them if they were guests. But if they are enemies, don't blame us for being rude," Dustin retorted. "What? You've made a mistake and stirred up trouble, yet you don't feel any remorse?" Dahlia frowned."Ms. Nicholson, this was a misunderstanding." Lana suddenly stepped up and smiled apologetically. "Ms. Amberson here in
"Dustin, did you hear that? Get on your knees and apologize to me. Then, pay me 300 million in compensation for my mental distress. "Otherwise, I'll make sure you stay in prison forever!" Julie's hands were on her hips, appearing domineering. With her cousin backing her, she had nothing to fear. Julie might be a fake heiress, but her cousin was Sir Mosey's favored god-daughter. He had entrusted over half of his businesses to her. Dahlia's current status was no less than that of Dragonmarsh's princess. Everyone had to treat her with respect. Dustin might be capable, but he was nothing in front of Dahlia."Rhys! Dahlia is a prominent figure among the Moseys. You'd better think about your situation carefully!" Elena sneered, looking pleased with the turn of events. Once Dustin apologized, she would take the opportunity to humiliate him. If he resisted, that would be even better. Because once he angered Dahlia, there would be no way out for him!Dahlia wouldn't even need to tak
Julie subconsciously swallowed. After she realized what had happened, she immediately pushed a finger down her throat in an attempt to vomit the pill out. However, no matter how hard she heaved, it was useless. The moment the pill went into her mouth, it had already dissolved.At that moment, her expression shifted, and her voice trembled, "W-What … did you just give me?""Nothing, just some supplements," Abigail replied with a smile."You're lying! It's obviously poison!" Julie panicked."Oh hey, it seems like you've guessed it. Sorry." Abigail's smile never faltered. "You witch! Give me the antidote!" Julie roared."I'd advise you to calm down since getting agitated would only speed up your death. Oh, by the way, this poison won't take effect immediately. "It will slowly torment you until your intestines rot and you perish," Abigail explained. "What?" Julie's legs went numb. "Dahlia … save me!" "You witch! How dare you harm a Mosey? You must have a death wish!" Scott
Looking at Dahlia's familiar face from the past, Dustin took a deep breath and said coldly, "Dahlia Nicholson, I'm not being stubborn. You're the one who thinks you can never be wrong. "What makes you think everything is my fault? And why do you assume I can't afford to offend these people?" Dahlia responded with a frown, "Things have already come to this, and you're still trying to argue? I've already investigated the matter, and it's clearly your fault. "Don't think you can act arrogantly in Oakvale just because you have someone backing you. This place is full of hidden talents and influential people. It's not a place where you can run wild!""Forget it. I'm too lazy to continue this argument. Think whatever you want." Dustin shook his head, feeling tired. There was nothing left for him to complain about when she was exactly the same as she was before she lost her memory. "Dustin, what's with your attitude? I'm giving you sound advice, but you just won't listen! Will you o
"Hey, handsome, it seems like we've landed ourselves in big trouble." Lana looked worried as she watched them depart. "Dealing with the Forrest and Welch families might be manageable with Mr. Dawson backing us up, but the Moseys are a different story."Both Dahlia and Scott are not individuals we can afford to offend."She wasn't too concerned about Dahlia since she had a good reputation and usually lived up to her promises. She probably wouldn't hold this matter against them. However, Scott was different. He had a notorious reputation in the business world, known for his vengeful nature and relentless pursuit of his goals.Offending a powerful man like him would undoubtedly bring them trouble. "There's no need to worry, Ms. Camron. We're responsible for this mess. It'll likely be directed at us if they come looking for trouble. The company won't be affected," Dustin said. "Handsome, I'm not worried about implicating the company. I meant that you should stay out of the limel
Dustin answered the call. It was from Ethan. "Your Grace, I'm at the entrance of Camron Medicals. I have something important to report. Can we meet in person?" Ethan got straight to the point."Alright, I'll be right out." Dustin nodded and hung up without saying much. "Ms. Camron, please take Abigail around for a stroll. I have something urgent to attend to," Dustin said before walking out of the office. He had only assigned Ethan two tasks. One was to find the medicinal herbs for treating Cinna, and the other was to investigate the truth from ten years ago. Both matters were crucial to him.When Dustin stepped out of the building, he saw a plain black sedan parked across the street. The car window rolled down, revealing half of Ethan's face as he waved to Dustin. Dustin looked around and ensured no one noticed before entering the car. The car windows rolled up, and the car started. They began moving at a steady pace. "Mr. Ethan, what's the urgent matter that made you cal
Ten years had passed, and many things had changed. Even if Dustin was exceptionally talented, his growth was inevitably limited without the resources from the Rhys family. Anders and the rest of them, however, were different. They received only the best resources and grooming, undergoing various specialized training and polishing. They were ahead of Dustin in every aspect, and that disparity would only grow more apparent with time. Although Dustin was undoubtedly talented, he was slightly behind Anders. It would be tough to catch up on a gap of ten years. "I understand what you mean, but I've never considered fighting him. I just want his Emerald Corolla," Dustin said calmly."Your Grace, Anders sees the Emerald Corolla as a priceless possession. It would be challenging to take it from him." Ethan shook his head. He had sent someone to inquire about it from Anders but only received one word in response—Scram! "Since asking is not an option, we can resort to stealing," Dust
"Mr. Ethan, your cautious approach is truly commendable. It's no wonder you are able to navigate the treacherous political scene skillfully," Dustin teased. "Your Grace, please, spare me. My life is practically hanging by a thread with me being in constant danger," Ethan replied with a wry smile. If it became known that he was assisting the West Lucozian monarchy, he would either be dismissed from his position or have his home raided. But no matter the outcome, it would be a dead end for him.Navigating the court for so many years, he had offended numerous people. Once he lost power, countless people would surely seize the opportunity to take him down."Mr. Ethan, if I succeed in my goals, I'll consider it a debt owed to the Langfords. If you run into trouble in the future, I will back you up," Dustin assured. "Thank you, Your Grace!" Ethan's expression brightened. At least he was getting rewarded. With the support of the West Lucozian monarchy, there would still be a way o
