"But-" Dahlia wanted to say more.
"Just go. I'll be distracted if you're here," Dustin interrupted.
Left with no choice, Dahlia bobbed her head in agreement helplessly
in the end. Since things had come to this point, there was no turning
back.
As long as Dustin could come back unscathed, she was willing to give
up everything and roam all over the world with him.
After making sure that Dahlia had left safely, Dustin's gaze scanned
around the place and then fixed on the Nicholson family. "What are you
waiting for? Hurry up and leave!"
"Let's go."
Dakota and Jane exchanged a glance. Then, they turned around and left
on the spot.
Dahlia's breach of promise had caused the Langfords to have a fallout
with the Nicholsons. If the latter continued to stay there any longer,
trouble might land upon them.
"What a jinx! Look at what you have gotten us into Florence stomped
her feet in anger before fleeing away.
Now that the wedding ceremony had been ruined, the Nicholsons' dream
of living a wealthy and comfortable life went up in smoke. Most
importantly, they had offended the Langford family. From now on, their
days would no longer be peaceful.
At that time, Luis' fourth uncle, Kingston Langford, suddenly stood
up and said flatly, "You've got a nerve of steel, young man. No one has
ever dared to humiliate us in public. You're the first, and of course,
you will also be the last! Frankly speaking, I'm quite impressed with
your courage. But today is the day you die!"
As he spoke, he made a hand gesture.
Right then, a large group of armed guards barged in from every
direction and surrounded Dustin, leaving him no way to escape.
"This is bad. Mr. Kingston is doing it for real. That brat is going
to be done for."
"He snatched the bride away blatantly and even got Mr. Luis red in
the face. Even if he has ten lives, they are not even enough to pay back
for what he has done."
"Well, he only has himself to blame."
The guests couldn't help but mutter among themselves as they watched
Dustin get trapped in the middle.
If you let go of Luis now, I will let you die in one piece." Kingston
had an indifferent expression as if he had control over everything..
Are you trying to scare me off since you have the strength in
numbers?" Dustin glanced around without feeling any ounce of fear.
Yeah. You've got that right."
"Sure. Let's see who has more people, then!" Dustin took out his
phone and dialed a number.
Five minutes later, the door of the banquet hall burst open. Mason
rushed in aggressively with
hundreds of gangsters.
"Mason Zims from the Drey Group is here with the gang under Mr. Rhys'
orders!"
At the sight of this, everyone was stunned for a moment before they
burst into laughter.
"Is this a joke? Are you trying to fight against us with this group
of thugs?"
"Hmph! What an ignorant person! You're thinking too highly of
yourself!
"I'll be so disappointed if this is your trump card."
The group of guards led by Kingston had disdainful looks on their
faces. They couldn't believe that even some random thugs had the guts to
provoke the Langford family.
"Hey, Rhys! Are you in your right mind? Do you actually think that
you can outdo us with this bunch of small fry?" Luis laughed
uncontrollably.
However, the smile on his face immediately dropped when the next
group of people rushed into the hall
This time, Hunter was in the lead.
"The president of the Chamber of Commerce, Hunter Anderson is here to
listen to Mr. Rhys' orders!
目
Seconds later, another group of people showed up, and it went on for
a few more rounds. "The chief inspector of the investigation bureau,
Aspen Cruiser, is here to assist Mr. Rhys!" "Roderick Brooks from the
Brooks Corporation is willing to do his best to help Mr. Rhys out!" "The
mayor of Swinton, Alex Granville, is willing to stay till the end with
Mr. Rhys!"
As the groups barged in one after another, the ridicule directed at
Dustin gradually disappeared. It was replaced with shock and fear.
