"Oh, Dustin. You sure are stupid. How can you treasure such worthless
buildings?" Florence grinned smugly.
At first, she thought she had wasted all her money, but God blessed
them by sending them a scapegoat.
"Thanks, Dustin, or else we'd be doomed." Florence grinned.
"You're such a saint, Dustin. I must say, I'm impressed!" James
exclaimed delightedly and gave the other man a thumbs-up.
"Remember to treat us to a meal once you've made your fortune."
Victoria mocked.
They had been unfortunate to be swindled by Terrence, but they found
someone to take the fall. It was their stroke of luck, or they would have
lost all their money.
"I hope you don't come to regret your decision." Dustin wore a
meaningful smile.
"Regret?" They exchanged amused glances and laughed even louder.
How could Dustin still not know that something was wrong? An idiot
like him deserved to be scammed.
"Dustin, what on earth are you thinking? You shouldn't be so reckless
even if you have some money, right?" Dahlia frowned. She was confused as
to why someone who was usually so smart would act so foolishly.
"Everything I say is useless right now, but you'll understand soon,"
Dustin smiled and said.
No matter how many times he advised them, none of them believed him.
However, when things settled down, it would be obvious who was the
winner.
"Fine! I don't care anymore!" Dahlia stomped toward the door and
halted. "What are you waiting for? Let's go back to the company!"
"Can I take a leave of absence? My friend happens to be here, so I
want to visit him," Dustin asked. Mr. Robinson was here as well, so he
should visit the older man.
"Do whatever you like!" Dahlia humphed and left.
Five minutes later, Dustin stepped into another ward and saw Abigail
feeding her father some soup. The father-daughter duo's relationship
improved after the latest incident.
"Sir, you're here." Abigail lit up when she saw him.
"I happened to be in the area, so I thought I'd drop by. How's your
dad?" Dustin inquired,
concerned.
"The doctor said he's healing very well. He should be able to leave
in a few days," Abigail replied.
"That's good." Dustin let out a sigh of relief and sat down next to
the bed. "Let me know if you need anything, Mr. Robinson."
"Thank you, Mr. Rhys. You visiting me made me happy enough." Mr.
Robinson smiled. It was rare for someone to care for minor characters
like him.
"This is all my fault. You wouldn't have gotten hurt if not for me."
Dustin felt sorry.
"Don't say that, Mr. Robinson. I'm just sorry that I couldn't carry
out your request." Mr. Robinson shook his head.
"Alright, alright. Can you two stop being so sappy? Let's leave the
past behind us." Abigail interjected, cutting off their conversation.
The person they should be blaming was Torben Hill. Fortunately,
Dustin had avenged them by teaching that man a lesson.
"Abigail." While they were talking, a gorgeous young lady and an
elegantly dressed woman walked in. They must be mother and daughter.
Dustin realized that the familiar-looking woman was Ruby Xenos, the
person he met in the bar a few days ago.
"What are you doing here, Ruby?" Abigail lit up, and she quickly went
to welcome the guests.
