“He should have left long ago. He’s only going to bring us trouble if he stays here,” Dustin said frostily.

“Before your father left, he asked me to talk you into returning to the Rhys family. I refused.” Gregory sat down on

a chair and poured himself a cup of tea.

“I told him that the Rhys household is a dangerous place to be in. I’d much rather see you do what you love and live

your best life out here than be constantly caught in power struggles and deceitful manipulations back there.

Surprisingly, he agreed. He told me that all he wants is for you to be happy, and that the Rhys family will always be

there to back you up. His only wish is for you to make time to go back and visit your mother’s grave to pay her

respect.”

Dustin stood there, frozen in place, when he heard that. He felt a prick on his chest, right above his heart. He

reached up to find that it was the crystal necklace that his mother had left him.

Taking in a deep breath, he said, “I’ll go back. But now’s not the time. The day the murderer pays with his life will be

the day I return!”

Because how could he visit his mother’s grave now knowing that her death has yet to be avenged?

“Alright then, I’ve said all that’s left to be said. You make your own decision.” Then Gregory downed the cup of tea

and went upstairs, ready to go back to bed again. As for Dustin, he sat on a chair and started to ponder over his

great vengeance scheme.

“What’s on your mind?” Dahlia walked in and waved a hand in front of Dustin’s face.

“Hey, when did you come in?” Dustin was surprised to see her.

“You didn’t even see me coming in? What are you so lost in thought over? Is it me you’re thinking about, or is it

Natasha that’s occupying your thoughts?” Dahlia probed inquisitively.

“Neither.” Dustin shook his head. That was a trick question, and he knew better than to answer it. “Oh? Is there

someone else that you’ve got your mind on?” Dahlia asked, looking at him questioningly.

“Of course not!” Dustin was amused by Dahlia’s question.

Then, he quickly changed the topic. “Did you come here so early in the morning to ask me about this?”

“Hah! Do you think I have nothing better to do with my time?” Dahlia rolled her eyes at him. “I’ve come to share

some good news! The Nicholson family in Glenstead has finally accepted our family again! We’ll be reunified. From

now on, we’ll be scions of a prestigious family!”

“Oh? Is that so? Well, congratulations!” Dustin chuckled.

“That’s not all!” Dahlia smiled proudly. “Not only have we been accepted to return, but the patriarch of the family,

Regulus Nicholson, has also listed me as a potential successor! I’ll stand a chance of competing against the rest of

his offspring as the future head of the household!”

“So what you mean, is that as long as you perform well, you stand a chance of becoming the head of a prominent

family?” Dustin was quick to catch on.

“Precisely!” Dahlia snapped her fingers and giggled excitedly. “So many people dream about being listed as

potential successors of the family. I never would have guessed that the patriarch would choose me! What a

pleasant surprise!”

Truth be told, she hadn’t held high hopes of being reunited with the Nicholson family of Glenstead. She knew that

even if she were to return to the prestigious family, she would not be properly recognized or appreciated as she

wasn’t part of the direct lineage.

But things were different now. To be selected as a potential successor was a big deal.. It put her at a different

standing and status from all the other descendants who weren’t on the list. This was her one chance to take control

of her destiny and break free from the oppression of her family. All she needed to do was prove her worth and

defeat her competitors, and she’d be able to emerge as a successor and rise above them all.

“Congratulations! Seems like the patriarch is placing great importance on your family!” Dustin

smiled.

“Well, of course!” Dahlia lifted her chin confidently. “Now that the chance presents itself, you better butter me up

nice and well or you’ll be sorry you missed the opportunity to do so when I become the successor!”
