The next morning, at Nicholson Corp. Dustin reported to work as usual. As
Chief Security Officer, his work was relatively easy. He would punch in
in the morning and patrol the area with a few officers, and he would have
free time after that. He could do anything he wanted since no one was th
ere to keep watch on him
Dustin had just sat down in his office when someone knocked on his door.
He looked up and found that it was the Vice Chairman, Hank Hoffman.
"Mr. Rhys, are you free? Can I have a word with you?" Hank walked in
the door with a smile.
Remaining in his seat, Dustin greeted him. "Mr. Hoffman, how can I help y
ou?"
"Mr. Rhys, I had my friend bring back this aged Narcissus Tea from Mount
Woui. I hope you like it.
Hank took out a delicate gift box and placed it on his table.
Dustin raised an eyebrow. "Aged Narcissus Tea? This must be pretty expens
ive."
"It's nothing, just over a million dollars." Hank smiled
Dustin declined his gift. "Mr. Hoffman, this is too valuable. I can't aff
ord to take it, you should keep it for yourself."
"It's okay if you don't like to drink tea. I have another present prepare
d. Still smiling, he took out a check from his pocket and said, "Here are
three million dollars. Consider it a kind gesture of mine. I hope you ac
cept it."
"Mr. Hoffman, you're giving me gifts and money. What exactly is the meani
ng of this?" Dustin questioned him straightforwardly.
Hank chuckled. "I'd like to be friends with you, Mr. Rhys." He flashed Du
stin a meaningful smile. "I know you are close to Dahlia, but you won't h
ave a future if you continue working for her. She's just a lady. She won'
t be able to accomplish great things."
Dustin's expression remained unchanged. "So?"
"So, I hope you can help me out. I'll treat you well. The gifts I've give
n you
today are just the start of many. There'll be more benefits for you going
forward." Hank started revealing his true
intentions.
"Mr. Hoffman, I don't think it's appropriate for you to ask me to betray
Ms. Nicholson," Dustin
responded calmly.
"Mr. Rhys, the world revolves around gains. Dahlia pays you only a measly
salary. Why would you still be loyal to her?"
Seeing his lack of reaction, Hank continued to persuade him. "As long as
you agree to my terms, I'll make sure you end up as Vice Chairman when I
become the Chairman!" The only reason Hank gave him such a lucrative offe
r was due to his identity as the Flame Dragon gang leader. He knew that w
ith Dustin backing Dahlia, it would be difficult to remove her from her p
osition. That was why he needed to get Dustin
on his side to achieve his goals.
"Mr. Hoffman, you sure have confidence in me. Sadly, I'm not interested i
n your terms." Dustin gave him an ambiguous smile.
"What are you interested in, then? I'll try my best to fulfill it as
long as it's within my means.
Hank responded hastily.
"Nothing. I just want you to obediently stay as Vice Chairman and not pus
h the boundaries." Dustin's smile gradually disappeared.
"What?" Hank furrowed his brows. "What do you mean, Mr. Rhys?"
Dustin responded coldly, "You don't get it? Let me make it clearer. Going
forward, Dahlia will always remain the Chairman of this company. Anyone
who wishes to dispose of her will answer to me, understood?"
Hank's expression darkened. "Mr. Rhys, does that mean this is out of disc
ussion?"
"I'm not interested in discussing anything with you. Now, get out. I'm go
ing to take a nap." Dustin waved his hand in annoyance.
"Fine, I hope you don't come to regret it!" Hank let out an audible scoff
and left the room after
packing up. He could only seek other methods since he
was unsuccessful in bribing Dustin.
"He wants to bribe me with a few million dollars? Does he think I'm poor?
" Dustin was annoyed. He was a billionaire. That small amount of money wa
s insignificant to him.
Suddenly, Dustin's phone rang.
