Dahlia Nicholson and Dustin Rhys

Chapter 51

In a lounge at the Emerald building. Natasha greeted Dustin. “Mr.

Rhys, you’re not hurt, are you?” Her eyes scanned him over in worry.

“I’m fine.” Dustin shook his head and continued, “I’ve dealt with the twins. What do you plan on doing n

ext?”

“Those two were some of Edwin’s most useful men. I think he will be very alarmed now that they are de

ad. We should take things slow lest we scare them away,” Natasha said. She did not want to burn the b

ridge between her and Edwin. She just wanted to teach him a lesson so he would

back down. This was the best option.

“Alright. It’s up to you.” Dustin didn’t say more.

“Oh, yes, you should take cover for the time being. I received news that Trevor’s brother, Travis, is back

, and

he’s hunting for the murderer.” Natasha’s tone and expression turned grave. She would not pick battles

with

the military. Travis was a general in the warzone. Even she had to think twice before getting on the wro

ng side

of him.

“Thanks for the advice. I know what to do.” Dustin nodded.

The position of general was a very powerful one. To someone ordinary, he held the power of life and de

ath.

However, Dustin was not so afraid.

Meanwhile, in the Spanner Villa.

Travis stood by the coffin’s side with his eyes

closed. Outside the living room, members of the Spanner family knelt on the ground. Everyone had thei

r heads down. Not a word was spoken, and the atmosphere was very

tense.

Trevor had died out of the blue, the traitor Mason had disappeared, and the murderer was nowhere to

be found. The entire Spanner family was reeling from the loss.

“General! We’ve got something!” At this moment, an adjutant walked in.

“Who is the murderer?” Travis opened his eyes with a bloodthirsty look.

“We’re not sure who the murderer is. But, we’ve found someone related to him,” the adjutant explained.

“Be more specific.”

“According to our Investigation, two people went to the Drey Group before Trevor’s demise. One was th

e Quine Group’s president, Dahlia Nicholson. The other was Hunter Anderson, the president of Swinton

’s Business

Commerce!”

“You mean they are associated with the murderer?”

“Yes! Dahlia, especially, is the key to everything. Edward was crippled because of her. She must know t

he murderer’s identity!” the adjutant deduced.

“That’s right! That bitch ruined me! She has someone good at fighting on her side. They must have kille

d my

CS CamScanner

father!” Edward immediately became agitated.

“Gather the troops! Arrest her immediately!” Travis stood up and said coldly after ordering. “I don’t

care who the murderer is. I will destroy his whole family for killing someone from the Spanner family!”

That evening, the Nicholson family were celebrating Dahlia’s newly launched company in a restaurant. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Sis, I’d like to raise a toast to you. I wish you success in the future!” James grinned and raised his glas

s.

The rest of them cheered and raised their glasses.

“Dahlia, you must be hiring since the company is newly established. I have a niece who’s a fresh gradu

ate. Can you arrange a job for her?”

“Huh! I almost forgot. I also have a cousin that’s recently unemployed. He has eight years of experienc

e in

business management. Dahlia, you should hire him into management. He’s sure to help you out!”

After a few drinks, some women started to chatter.

“Hiring is handled by Human Resources. I usually don’t interfere. Of course, if any of you have a suitabl

e candidate, they can

always submit their resume,” Dahlia responded professionally. The company was very against nepotis

m, and she

would usually avoid matters like this. Of course, if it were unavoidable, she would arrange an idle job fo

r them.

“Dahlia, listen to me. I heard that Dustin and Ms. Harmon are very close. If you won’t help us, we’ll ask

Dustin!” one of them exclaimed.

“Hmph! Dustin is nothing but a gold digger. He’s not even fit to be in my sister’s shadow!” James snorte

d

coldly.

“That’s right! What can useless trash do for you? Do you really think he could speak up before Ms. Har

mon? Stop daydreaming!” Florence also added in spite.

Why would they mention that trash to dampen the mood?

“But I heard Dustin was invited onto the stage at today’s opening ceremony,” the person added.

“So what? He didn’t even say a single word. It was so humiliating!”

“That’s right! It may seem he’s living a glorious life now, but he’s nothing but a tool. Ms. Harmon will kic

k him aside when she gets tired of him!”

Everyone started nodding along. That was right. What did Ms. Harmon see in a

person such as Dustin? In the end, he was nothing but a plaything. Once she got tired of him, she woul

d throw him away. By then, Dustin would be worthless!

“Hard work requires effort. Any man who depends on a woman is useless. The real talented young man

is Chris!” James finished and gave Chris a big thumbs up.

Chris’s eyes twitched, and he seemed nervous. In the past, he would definitely scoff in contempt of Dus

tin. However, after witnessing his power today, he felt Dustin was not someone ordinary.

“Alright, let’s stop

talking about this and eat,” Dahlia said, trying to change the topic. She didn’t want to hear

CS CamScanner

Dustin’s and Natasha’s names mentioned.

Whenever she thought of the two laughing and talking, she would feel strangely panicked.

“Quick! Surround this place. No one can leave!”

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door. Immediately, the door was kicked open with a loud

bang.

A group of heavily armed guards stormed in aggressively. The deadly aura radiating from them

made everyone’s blood run cold.

“Who is Dahlia Nicholson?” The leading soldier stepped out, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
