At noon, in the president’s office of the Quine Group.Dahlia was distracted while reading her documents. Her mind was completely occupied by Dustin.She was worried that Trevor would track down Dustin. If that happened, Dustin would be doomed.“Lyra!” Finally, Dahlia couldn’t hold herself back after imagining all the possible scenarios.“Ms. Nicholson, how can I help you?” Lyra came in after knocking.“Help me prepare some gifts. I’m going to the Drey Group,” Dahlia said.“The Drey Group? Isn’t that Sir Spanner’s place?” Lyra was shocked.“That’s right. I want to talk to him.” Dahlia nodded.“Why do you want to talk to him? Is it about Dustin?” Lyra panicked. “Ms. Nicholson, please calm down! Sir Spanner is still angry. Why would you visit him and poke the hornet’s nest?”“No matter what, I have to try!” Dahlia was adamant.“Wait! We still have Mr. Nolan! He said he would help. Why don't we wait some more?” Lyra advised Dahlia.“We’ve waited for one whole night, and there’s still no n

At Peaceful Medical Centre, Dustin and the one-eyed man were drinking when his phone rang suddenly.“Hey, Dustin! Ms. Nicholson is in danger. Hurry up! We need your help!” Lyra shouted as soon as the call connected.“Danger? What’s going on?” Dustin frowned.“It’s all because of you! Ms. Nicholson was worried about your safety, so she personally approached Sir Spanner to talk to him. She hasn’t come out since then. I think she is in danger!” Lyra sounded urgent.“What the hell was she thinking? I told her it was none of her business. Why is she looking for trouble?” Dustin’s face darkened.“Dustin Rhys! Don’t you have any conscience at all? Ms. Nicholson is trying to save you!” Lyra shouted angrily.“Where is she?”“The Drey Group!”“I’ll be there straight away!”Without saying anything more, Dustin hung up and rushed straight there.At the same time, in the Drey Group’s offices.Dahlia slumped on the couch, feeling lightheaded. Her face was dripping with sweat. She could feel the after

“Why are you still standing there? Let them go!”The corners of Trevor’s eyes twitched, and his face turned pale. If Hunter had asked politely, he wouldn't be angry. However, Hunter shouted at him as soon as he arrived and even slapped him. He would be too embarrassed to face his men if he let Dustin go just like that.“Mr. Anderson, this guy crippled my son and barged into my place. How could I stand in front of the public if they know I let him go today?” Trevor retorted in a low voice.“Your son deserved to be crippled! I will destroy the Drey Group if you don't let him go today!" Hunter smirked coldly.“Mr. Anderson, I know you are influential, and I can’t offend you. But don’t forget that I have someone supporting me too!” Trevor shouted fiercely.“Are you talking about Edwin? Let me tell you. Even if Edwin were here today, you would still have to let Mr. Rhys go!” Hunter gave a chilly smile.Trevor’s expression instantly darkened as soon as he heard what Hunter said. He didn’t ex

I know! Mr. Nolan must have helped us out!”Lyra seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, she said, “I called him after calling the police just earlier. He must have sent President Anderson here.”“Chris Nolan?” Dahlia frowned, feeling doubtful.“That’s right. Mr. Nolan is the only person who would help us and has the power to ask President Anderson for help!” Lyra analyzed, convinced that she was correct.“Well, that makes sense.” Dahlia agreed.As they were talking, a red Ferrari stopped by the road. The door opened, and Chris, wearing a set of bright clothes, came down hurriedly.“Dahlia! Are you okay? I came here immediately after receiving the call!” Chris seemed worried.“Mr. Nolan, thanks for your help. Otherwise, Ms. Nicholson would be in danger.” Lyra hurriedly thanked Chris.“Help?” Chris was stunned. He almost couldn’t snap back to his senses.“Yes! Mr. Anderson had already come just now. He came to rescue Ms. Nicholson.” Lyra smiled."Huh?" Chris was even more shocked

“Is this what you wanted to tell me?”Dahlia was dumbfounded and rooted to the ground in disbelief. Looking at Dustin’s cold expression, she thought he felt unfamiliar. She could feel grief and sadness washing over her as a result.“That’s right! That’s what I wanted to tell you! Please keep in mind not to meddle in my business. My life and death have nothing to do with you. We are no longer related. Do you get it?” Dustin scolded her fiercely.His cruel words froze Dahlia. She didn’t expect Dustin would complain and blame her instead of thanking her for her kindness. When had they become enemies?“Hey, Dustin Rhys! Are you even human?” Standing on the side, Lyra couldn’t take it anymore. She scolded, “How can you say that to Ms. Nicholson? She was trying to help you! How can you be so ungrateful?”“What do you want me to say? Am I supposed to praise her for being brave and barging into Trevor’s place?” Dustin asked coldly.“You are such an ungrateful guy!” Lyra was pissed off.“That’s

As soon as Dustin entered the building, he gradually worked his way up and killed everybody he came across. None of his opponents could stand up to him at all, each felled in mere seconds.“You want to take revenge on me, but you don’t know who I am?” Dustin began to close in on Trevor. The look in his eyes was exceptionally cold.“Damn it! Don’t come near me, or I’ll kill you!” Trevor suddenly took out a gun from his drawer.However, Dustin immediately rushed forward and grabbed the muzzle before Trevor could lift his hand. Then, he grabbed the gun.A metallic groan rang out.Trevor was shocked to realize that the muzzle of his gun had been twisted by Dustin.The gun was made of iron! How could he manipulate the gun like it was mud?“Mr.—Mr. Rhys, it’s a misunderstanding. I swear I won’t bother you anymore if you leave now.” Trevor started breaking out in a cold sweat. He decided to give in. Dustin’s power was beyond the level of ordinary people. It was no wonder a big shot like Hunte

“He is my father.” Dustin was shocked. He didn't expect the two of them to be related. “I heard Trevor has a son called Edward. Who are you then?”“My name is Mason. I'm Trevor's illegitimate son.” The man bowed his head as he explained, “Trevor forced himself on my mother and got her pregnant. In order to save his image, he kept my existence in the dark and made me his foster son instead.” “So, you hate him?” Dustin asked. “Yes!” Mason gritted his teeth and seethed angrily, “He abandoned my mother and me, leaving us impoverished all those years ago. Now, he's only using me as a pawn to assist Edward. I can't let them trample over me again. I must get back what's mine!”“Good.” Dustin nodded in approval. “Since you're ambitious, I will help you. If you do as I say, I will not only help you climb the ladder but also help you rule over Swinton.”“Thank you!” Delighted, Mason immediately knelt on the ground to show his gratitude. As wise as Mason was, he could tell that Dustin w

She was the type to make men fall in love with her at first sight. Thus, she was shocked to learn that Dustin had forgotten about her after just one night. Was her presence so insignificant?“Um… you do look familiar. I think I've seen you somewhere.” Dustin tried to dig through his memories.“Yesterday, at the hospital. You treated my grandfather. Do you remember now?” The girl uttered through gritted teeth.“Oh! You're Natasha's sister, Roth. Am I right?”“Who the hell are you calling Roth? My name is Ruth! Ruth Harmon!” Ruth nearly exploded out of exasperation. She wanted to step on the gas pedal and run Dustin over with her car. All this time, she'd never been treated this way. How insulting!“I'm sorry. Ms. Ruth, are you looking for me for some reason?” Dustin quickly changed the topic.“Of course! Why would I be here otherwise?” Ruth rolled her eyes and ordered, “Hurry up and get in the car. Natasha has fallen sick and is demanding to see you.”“Hmm? What happened to her?”

“Sorry, I didn't mean to.” Dustin instantly came to his senses and rushed to push Natasha away. His face was etched with awkwardness. Everything happened so quickly that he hadn't had time to think.“It's okay. It was my fault. The drug might have been too strong, as I really couldn't control myself,” Natasha replied coyly. While speaking, she cast a glare at Ruth, silently cursing her sister for ruining the rare opportunity for her to get a man. “Ruth could've just left. Why did she have to scream? I'm cutting her allowance this month!” thought Natasha.“Ruth, help your sister to lie on the bed,” instructed Dustin.“Hmph! Of course, I will. Did you think you could take advantage of her again?” With a roll of her eyes, Ruth went to hold the grumpy Natasha and walked her to the bed.“Ms. Harmon, please remove your shirt and lie on your front,” Dustin added.“What? You pervert, what are you trying to do!” Ruth's anger immediately flared. “Don't get me wrong. I have to use a need

“Do you have a plan in mind, Mr. Rhys?” Natasha asked.“I need to get a clear understanding of the situation first. I hope you don’t mind if I ask you some questions.” Dustin cleared his throat before continuing, “Where did you go today, and did you meet anyone there?”“I met Edwin today. We talked about work, and he asked about us being in a partnership, but I rejected his offer,” Natasha answered truthfully.“I see. Did you drink anything he offered you?”“Of course not. That man has been eyeing my family business for ages. I’d never let my guard down around him.”“Then it really is strange how you got drugged, sis,” Ruth piped up.“Truly.” Natasha rolled her eyes.“When you two met, did you smell or touch anything in particular?” Dustin then asked.“Now that you mention it…” Something suddenly dawned on Natasha. “When I stepped into the place, I did smell something particular. I didn’t pay much attention because I thought it was just perfume. But then, after a while, I start
