Thrown off by the sudden p, Julian held his burning cheek with his hand in disbelief. No one had


    ever dared to hit him all his life, so it took some time for the fact to settle in with him.


    Florence and the rest of them exchanged looks between themselves and stared with bewilderment.


    Dustin was too bold to p the eldest legitimate grandson of the Nicholson family! “You… How dare


    you p me?” When Julian finally came to his senses, his expression was dark, and his gaze looked


    like he could murder them at any moment.


    “Yes, I’ve pped you. So what? You speak so arrogantly. Did you think you didn’t deserve that?”


    Dustin countered calmly.


    “You impudent bastard! Get him!” Julian bellowed.


    “Yes, sir!” The bodyguards pulled out their weapons and charged toward Dustin.


    But before they even managed toy a finger on him, Dustin kicked each of them and sent them all


    sprawling to the ground. Just like that, the fight was over.

    Julian’s face fell as he stumbled backward. They were the most well-trained bodyguards the Nicholson


    family had’ And Dustin managed to wipe them all out single-handedly? It was clear that he was a


    skilled martial artist.


    “Now, can we speak like civilized adults?” Dustin asked.


    “How dare you, Rhys? Do you know what you’ve done? You’re tantly challenging the Nicholson


    family!” Julian roared as he red at him.


    “Cut the crap. If you wish to strike a deal, talk properly. If you do not wish to do so, I’ll just dispose of


    the medicine as I see fit.” Dustin had had enough of Julian’s big talk.


    “You-” Julian gritted his teeth. But in the end, he swallowed his anger and asked, “What on earth do


    you want?”


    “I told you, I have three conditions. If you agree to my conditions, I’ll give you the medicine,” Dustin


    stated calmly.


    “What are your conditions?” Julian asked with annoyance.


    “First, I want you to apologize to Dahlia sincerely, and I want you to mean every word. Dustin held up


    one finger.


    “Apologize? Why should I?” Julian’s pride would not allow him to do so. He was the first legitimate


    grandson of the Nicholson family, the one who should have been the rightful heir. It was embarrassing


    for him to apologize to some illegitimately born brat of the family.


    “Because I have this.” Dustin raised the purple bottle in his hand. “Now, will you do it?”


    Julian faltered for a moment, but his eyes still burned with rage. But for his grandmother’s sake, he


    complied and went up to Dahlia with his head hung low. “I’m sorry. I apologize for my previous actions.”


    Dahlia, Julie, and Florence were all astonished by Julian’s actions. They had never imagined that


    Dustin would be able to deliver what he had said earlier on. He had indeed seeded in getting


    Julian to apologize without a fuss.


    “Are you happy now?” Julian straightened up and asked frostily, “What’s the second condition?”


    “It’s simple. Let Dahlia return to her original position.” Dustin raised a second finger.


    “Okay. I can promise you that.” After a few seconds of contemtion, Julian nodded.


    “This is great!” Julia cheered happily. “Dahlia, we don’t need to leave anymore! You’re still the chairman


    of thepany!”


    “This kid is pretty impressive! But there goes my plot ofnd worth two billion.” Florence shook her


    head disappointedly.


    However, Dahlia wasn’t too surprised. Instead, she fell deep into thought.
