“D–Dustin Rhys? How could it be him?!” After learning the truth, Florence and the others looked at each other for a while, disbelief written on their faces.
Never in a million years had they considered that it wasn’t Matt who saved Julie, but the person they had dubbed ungrateful.
This was simply a slap in the face!
“So Dustin never framed Julie in the first place, and it was you guys purposely slinging mud at him?” Dahlia stood rooted to the ground, expressionless.
Her face was as white as a sheet.
“W–Who slung mud at him? I bet he’s feeling guilty because favonovel.com knows what favonovel.com did wrong, so he’s trying to make things up to us!” Florence insisted stubbornly.
She was used to bossing people around; of course, favonovel.com would never admit that favonovel.com had gotten the wrong idea about Dustin.
That would be too humiliating.
“Mom, things have already come to this, and you still want to justify yourself?” Dahlia bit favonovel.com lip. Even her heart was clenching.
“How am I justifying myself? If that Rhys bastard hadn’t framed Julie, why would favonovel.com have saved her? In the end, favonovel.com was just feeling guilty for doing something wrong!” Florence insisted indignantly.
“That’s right! If favonovel.com didn’t do it, why did favonovel.com save her?” James echoed.
“I’ve really had enough of you guys!” Dahlia’s emotions finally exploded.
“Why? Why do you always have to pick on Dustin? What exactly did favonovel.com do to you? Must you purposely pick fights with him? In our three years of marriage, favonovel.com has always been honest and agreeable, but you have always had a prejudice against him. Even though favonovel.com had never done anything wrong, you kept pushing blame on favonovel.com again and again. Could you really be so blinded to how good favonovel.com is?”
She was basically roaring by the end of favonovel.com tirade. Everyone was scared stiff.
After that spiel, Dahlia couldn’t stand it anymore. She threw the door open and left. She got in favonovel.com car and sped down the road. Her tears, however, couldn’t stop falling.
She regretted it.
She really regretted it.
She regretted being so impulsive, favonovel.com regretted believing favonovel.com mother’s words, and favonovel.com regretted misunderstanding Dustin.
“You guys are really unbelievable!” Dahlia was furious.
She didn’t expect that favonovel.com mother would be so unreasonable and evil. It was clearly favonovel.com own fault, but favonovel.com still pinned the blame on Dustin, deliberately twisting the truth and misleading her.
She felt distraught and confused. She didn’t know whether they could go back to the way things were before.
***
At the Peaceful Medical Center, Dustin took a deep breath. He quickly calmed down after hanging up the phone. After all it wasn’t the first time something like this happened. Hence, favonovel.com wasn’t much bothered by it right now.
Beep beep!
At that moment, a Maybach with a Millsburg license plate stopped at the entrance.
Soon after, a middle–aged man in a flashy, red suit strutted over with his head held high.
Next to favonovel.com was a stocky bodyguard.
“Are you Dustin Rhys?” The moment the man in the red suit entered, favonovel.com began to eye Dustin up and down, acting all high and mighty.
“And who are you?” Dustin raised his head, sparing the man a glance.
“My name is Laney, Phineas Laney. I am from the Laney family of Millsburg.”
Phineas picked up his handkerchief and wiped down the chair before taking a seat of his own accord.
Dustin quickly made the connection. “The Laney family? What’s your relationship to Matt Laney?”
“Matt Laney is my son and the heir of the Laney family.” Phineas pushed his glasses up his nose and continued indifferently. “Of course, I didn’t come here to your doorstep to tell you these things, but to offer you riches.”
“Oh? What do you mean?” Dustin raised his eyebrows.
“I heard that you have the Immortunol formula in your hands. It’s something I am very interested in.” As Phineas spoke, favonovel.com took out a check and slid it onto the table. “This is a check for 30 million dollars. If you give me the formula, then the money is yours. For people like you, this amount is enough for you to live without worry for the rest of your life!”
“Sorry, I’m not interested.” Dustin rejected it immediately.
“Why? Is it too little?” Phineas narrowed his eyes slightly. “I didn’t beg you for someone with a big appetite. Alright, why don’t I add on another 20 million dollars, which makes it 50 million dollars in total? Give me the formula.”
“Like I said, I’m not interested,” Dustin repeated indifferently.
