My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

After Jack beat Keller and others, his anger finally dissipated, and he wanted to apologize to Dustin.

Dustin waved his hands in dismissal and motioned for him to leave.

Jack dared not disobey Dustin, so he could only obediently leave.

Dustin walked to Keller who lay on the ground and looked down at him indifferently.

"What's your relationship with Jack?" Keller asked unwillingly.

All of them were beaten, but only Dustin remained uninjured. Besides, Jack treated Dustin differently, and anyone could see that there was something between them.

"Rivenesco is not a place which you can control. Simone is also not someone whom you can covet. Go back to Somerton now," Dustin said indifferently.

David cared about this, so Dustin saw no reason to deal with Keller harshly. He just needed to make the latter back out.

Keller's face turned red. He did not say anything. He felt unwilling and ashamed.

He just returned from the best university abroad. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to make something of himself before he inherited his family's property. He had failed even before he achieved anything. How could he return to the Douglas family without any dignity?

Dustin did not bother with him again. He left with Simone.

He initially thought that Keller would just stop here.

Unexpectedly, Keller had Monique invite Simone and Dustin to the most luxurious hotel in Rivenesco.

Keller was accompanied by a noble-looking man and a woman.

"I'm Franklin Douglas, the patriarch of the Douglas family. This is my wife. We are here regarding Keller's marriage with Simone," Franklin said.

The three people were a bit surprised.

David had gone to Somerton, but the Douglas family had arrived in Rivenesco.

"There's 5 million here. Don't get involved in this again. Just leave Rivenesco and go anywhere you want." Franklin pushed a bag toward Dustin. His tone of voice carried impatience as though he was doing this out of charity.

Dustin scoffed.

How hilarious!

Dustin could not help but chuckle.

He realized that he had thought too highly of the Douglas family.

They acted so reserved and mighty, yet they dished out only 5 million to chase Dustin away.

Simone looked at Franklin and Keller's mother, Ellen Douglas, with a strange expression.

She knew about Dustin's abilities.

One word from Dustin, and the Zimmer family would beg for him to take their money.

5 million...

That might be nothing at all for Dustin.

Even Simone felt embarrassed on their behalf. Was this not humiliating?

"Haha! 5 million, huh?" Dustin sneered.

He despised the Douglas family.

"What are you laughing at?" When the Douglas family saw him react like that, they frowned and felt displeased.

"What? Do you think 5 million is too little?" Franklin asked in a low voice.

"Brat, 5 million is no small sum. You might not be able to earn that much even after ten years of hard work.

"I looked into you. You're that disgraced outcast of the Wyatt family. You have no achievements and own nothing.

"You're not that young anymore. Think about yourself. Don't always act on impulse," Franklin said to Dustin.

"If you're sensible, you'll take the money and get lost!" Ellen said impatiently.

"This isn't a compromise. We are

just not bothered to get involved e

with you. Just take the money and leave We'll consider this as ifit never happened."

Dustin lifted the bag of money and weighed it.

"Dustin..." Monique said worriedly.

Dustin smiled faintly.

Bam!

He threw the bag onto the table flippantly.

"You want to get Simone married to the Douglas family, but you can

spare 5 million to get rid of many

So

stingy," he said and smiled

"You... you think it's too little for you?" Ellen snapped with a fury that was barely contained.

"You're so greedy..." She stood up and wanted to yell at Dustin.

But Franklin reached out to stop her.

"Tell us how much you want then," he said.

"At least 30 million," said Dustin nonchalantly.

Franklin's face stiffened.

Ellen's eyes widened in shock.

"30 million?! How dare you?!

"Look at your useless face. Are you even worth 30 million?"

Franklin's gaze was fierce, and his expression turned unfriendly.

"Brat, being too greedy won't do you any good!" he said to Dustin.

"I'm giving you a way out, but if you won't take it, then you won't even get 5 million."

He signaled to someone nearby with a wave of his hand.

A middle-aged man in a suit was sitting there.noveldrama

When the middle-aged man saw Franklin's gesture, he got up and walked over.

"Mr. Douglas," said the middle-aged man in greeting and bowed to Franklin.

"Mr. Lane, please take your seat." Franklin motioned to Sylus Lane. Sylus then sat down.

"Mr. Lane is the chief of the Arbitration Court in the Third District, including Rivenesco and Somerton. He was promoted by my father when he was in office," Franklin calmly said.
