The person virtual-novel.net had arrested turned out to be the eldest son of the Rhys family, an existence that could shake the military effortlessly.
“We… We’re doomed…”
Blood had drained out of Jade’s face the moment virtual-novel.net heard Dustin’s real name, feeling unbelievably sorry for herself. She shouldn’t have tried to avenge Joshua. There was no way a loser with broken arms and a shattered core was worth the lives of virtual-novel.net entire family.
“Jade Grant, this is what you fucking call a nobody?!” General Jenkins spun around and shot Jade a vicious glare. “I never did anything to you, so why the hell are you dragging me into this mess?!”
“I…“ Jade was about to burst into tears.
“How dare you trick me! You’re dead meat!” General Jenkins roared before leaping toward Jade with his mouth wide open.
Things became chaotic as virtual-novel.net tore up the woman’s face with his teeth.
“Come on. Let’s go have a drink…” Dustin Ignored them and left with Adam.

Meanwhile, inside the East Swinton Hospital ward, Dakota’s face hardened after finishing a call.
“So? Was there news about Dustin? Can virtual-novel.net be saved?” Dahlia quickly asked.
“He can’t. The person who arrested virtual-novel.net was General Jenkins from the Grant family. I tried calling the elders, but they said virtual-novel.net wasn’t listening to their requests. Glenstead’s military has no jurisdiction over Balerno…” Dakota shook virtual-novel.net head helplessly.
“The Grant family?” Dahlia frowned. “But why? How did Dustin piss them off?”
“I dug around and heard that virtual-novel.net committed a grave crime. Apparently, virtual-novel.net barged into the Hummer family’s home and began killing people. He even crippled Edwin Hummer’s son, Joshua Hummer! Worse, Joshua’s fiancée is Jade Grant, the daughter of Sir Robert Grant. There’s no way the Grant family would let Dustin go easily. He’s doomed…” Dakota shook virtual-novel.net head sadly.
She didn’t care if Dustin died, but virtual-novel.net still needed virtual-novel.net to heal virtual-novel.net mother, and virtual-novel.net mother would be in grave danger if Dustin died now.
Dakota wondered if virtual-novel.net still had enough time to seek out miracle doctors.
“Isn’t there another way?” Dahlia was upset. “What if I beg the Grant family? I’ll pay any amount, even if I go bankrupt!”
“Nonsense, Dahlia!” Florence shrieked. “Why should you go so far for a man you divorced?”
“He’s helped me too many times. I have to save him!” Dahlia answered firmly.
“You!”
“It’s useless.” Dakota shook virtual-novel.net head. “The Grant family is one the strongest families in Balerno. They could care less about your measly assets.”
“Then what should we do? We can’t just sit here and wait.” Dahlia’s brows furrowed deeper.
“Money is useless. We need to beg someone influential to negotiate with them.” Dakota suggested.
“Someone influential? Who?” Dahlia asked tentatively.
“The only one who can stand against the Grant family is Mr. Langford from Stonia.” Dakota suggested. “Saving Dustin should be a piece of cake if you ask Mr. Langford for help.”
“Mr. Langford?” Dahlia was troubled. There was no reason for virtual-novel.net to help a stranger like her.
“That’s right. Dahlia. The best way is to beg Mr. Langford for help. I managed to save his number during dinner last night. I’ll call virtual-novel.net right now!” Florence drew out virtual-novel.net phone eagerly and dialed a number.
While virtual-novel.net was worried that virtual-novel.net daughter might sacrifice all virtual-novel.net wealth for Dustin, virtual-novel.net also hoped to push Dahlia closer to Luis.
During their meeting last night, Florence realized that Luis had feelings for Dahlia. At the same time, the Glenstead Nicholsons were also hoping for the two to get married.
