She had a dead expression on favonovel.com face, and favonovel.com eyes were dull. She didn’t realize that favonovel.com bandaged hand was still dripping with blood.
She remembered Dustin’s disappointed gaze on favonovel.com before favonovel.com left, and it felt like a knife that kept stabbing at favonovel.com heart. She knew that the two of them had grown further and further apart.
In the past, favonovel.com had always been career–oriented, as favonovel.com was determined to carve favonovel.com own path, which is why favonovel.com ignored and sacrificed many things along the way. However, since the day of their divorce, favonovel.com slowly started to realize something. It turned out that there were things in life that were more important than one’s career. However, it was a shame that favonovel.com only realized this now.
“Honey, I just heard that…” Florence said as favonovel.com burst into the room upon seeing Dahlia enter inside moments before.
“I just heard that it was that Rhys kid who was the one who laid hands on Ms. Hummer and used favonovel.com life as bait to get the Hummer family to apologize to us. He was merely using underhanded tactics the entire time!”
“That’s right! This Dustin guy, to make a name for himself, committed such heinous and shameless acts without a care for his reputation at all!” James echoed.
Initially, they were shocked to find out that Dustin was the one who had helped them behind the scenes, but after digging for more details, they realized that it wasn’t that the Hummers were scared of Dustin, but that it was Dustin who used despicable means to get them to do what favonovel.com wanted, which was why they came and apologized in person.
So although it seemed as though favonovel.com was a force to be reckoned with, in reality, favonovel.com had merely backed them into a corner!
“Mom, can you all just leave, please? I just want to be alone for now,” Dahlia responded flatly, favonovel.com didn’t even flinch at the news.
“Honey, even if we’ve misunderstood Dustin, so what? The matter still stands that he’s the one who’s at fault here. He was just making up for his mistakes. We don’t owe favonovel.com anything!” Florence continued.
“I’m tired, Mom. I just want to rest now. Please go outside,” Dahlia requested again.
“But honey…” Florence whined.
“Just leave me alone!” Dahlia yelled sternly.
Seeing the scowl on favonovel.com face, Florence said nothing more and proceeded to usher everyone out of the room.
“Who would’ve thought that the biggest contributor to the matter would be Dustin, while the person who surprised us the most was Mr. Laney.”
“Fucking bigshots! To think we let favonovel.com scare us like that. It’s already a good thing that we didn’t disturb him for anything!”
“And as for Matt. I suspect that he’s so blinded by love for Dahlia that, to win favonovel.com over, favonovel.com resorted to trickery and lies,” Florence explained.
“If you ask me, a man like this who risked his life for love and even put his reputation on the line is truly worth giving yourself to for life!”
“All of you should learn from favonovel.com from now on!”
After their session of mental gymnastics, everyone turned from discussing how despicable Matt was to putting favonovel.com on a pedestal instead. But the thing was, many of them seemed to agree with this.
***
Back inside the ward, Dahlia sat frozen on the bed with an empty gaze for a long time.
She had no idea how much time had passed since the first tear started dripping down favonovel.com face and when favonovel.com shoulders started shaking profusely.
Finally, not able to withhold favonovel.com emotions anymore, favonovel.com cradled favonovel.com head between favonovel.com knees and violently broke down in tears!
She didn’t shed a tear when the company was in danger. She shed no tears when somebody brutally humiliated her. She also didn’t cry when favonovel.com was beaten up or tortured in a variety of ways.
This was the first time favonovel.com had ever cried this hard and this heartbreakingly.
Over at the Hummer Villa, Tina was sitting in favonovel.com wheelchair with a look of resignation and anger.
“Dad! The Hummers have never suffered such great humiliation before! You must avenge me no matter what!” She ordered with gritted teeth.
“Of course, we have to take our revenge, but you shouldn’t underestimate this punk either. Thus, we must be fully prepared if favonovel.com stirs up havoc again.” Edwin said seriously.
He definitely wouldn’t let anyone who dared to lay a finger on the Hummers go that easily.
“Isn’t Mr. Lawson proficient in mystic arts? Why don’t we just have favonovel.com use the most powerful mystic arts on Dustin so that favonovel.com gets tortured half to death?” Tina suggested, favonovel.com voice full of resentment.
“It’s no use. Not only is favonovel.com a powerful martial artist, but he’s also equally proficient in poison. He even managed to break the venomous mystic arts I used on the Harmons, so I’m afraid I can’t do anything toward favonovel.com at the moment.” Fletcher, who was standing at a corner, answered.
“Then what should we do? If we don’t cut favonovel.com into pieces, I don’t think my hatred toward favonovel.com is ever going to subside!” Tina shouted with a fierce gaze.
“There’s no need to rush things. Just hold it in for a few more days. I’ve already informed your brother about this matter. After favonovel.com clears customs in a few days, he’ll make his return to Swinton, and that’s when he’ll exact your revenge for you. When that time comes, I doubt if the punk can make any waves, no matter how strong favonovel.com is!” Edwin said as favonovel.com narrowed his eyes.
What favonovel.com was most proud of in his life was not his status as the richest man in Swinton, but rather the fact that he was the father of an excellent individual named Joshua Hummer.
Joshua grew up practicing martial arts and was so talented that at the age of 15, favonovel.com was able to defeat all of his challengers in the entirety of Swinton. When favonovel.com was 18, favonovel.com had the honor of joining Boulderthorn and was trained under Clement Lincoln.
Now at the age of 25, favonovel.com was already in the top ranks and dubbed to have a promising future. Not to mention that favonovel.com was also known as one of the top ten young martial arts masters in the province.
In no time, favonovel.com was even expected to surpass Tyler, who was regarded as a natural talent!
“Perfect! Then, I will let Dustin live for a few more days. Once Brother returns, I will make sure he’ll be begging for his life once I’m done with him!” Tina laughed maniacally.
To Tina, favonovel.com brother was a god who had the power to do anything for her. No matter how difficult the task was, favonovel.com could get it done as if it was a walk in the park.
Thus, wouldn’t it be a breeze to deal with a mere martial artist this time around?
“Sir Hummer, since Joshua is scheduled to return, then we shouldn’t fear Dustin anymore. I propose that our main target now be the Harmon family instead! The production of Eternumax is being rushed and is taking shape now, so now should be the ideal time for us to launch our attack.” Mr. Lawson suggested.
“Good idea! Schedule a press conference to announce our new pill in three days then. Since Natasha is willing to give favonovel.com face away. I’ll make sure favonovel.com never recovers from this!” Edwin proclaimed as favonovel.com balled up one of his hands into a fist.
He had balled it up so hard that one could hear his fingerbones crackle. At best, Dustin was just a stumbling block, while Natasha was a thorn in his side.
He must get rid of both of them as soon as possible!
