Lana was sitting in her luxury car outside the entrance of the Golden Balcony, her eyebrows arched as

she looked through the window. Just when she thought she’d finally met a handsome guy, she couldn’t

believe his string of bad luck.

First, Dustin offended Pablo, and then he dared to challenge Hugo. Now, Dustin was stuck inside the

Golden Balcony, where the chances of survival were close to zero.

Resigned to her powerlessness, Lana’s remaining option was to prepare for the grim task of collecting

Dustin’s lifeless body. Her thoughts turned depressed thinking of his pitiful life.

“Oh, Ms. Camron. You’re still here?”

Cody and Harper approached from the Lana responded casually.

“Us?” Cody smiled faintly. “We have some ties to Dustin through Harmony Healers. We thought it’d be

right to stick around and help with his last rites.”

“Hmph! Spare me your hypocrisy,” Lana said coldly.

“I’m not blind to the fact that you baited Dustin into coming here.”

“We genuinely brought him for a business chat, never expecting the chaos that unfolded. He’s reaping

what he sowed,” Cody retorted with a shrug.

“Exactly! A country bumpkin like him, who thinks he’s above everyone, is getting what’s coming to him,”

Harper chimed in.

“Harper, do you even know what you’re saying?” Lana shot a disapproving look. “Dustin has helped

Harmony Healers more than once. Is this how you repay him? Even animals know how to show

gratitude; you are worse than animals!”

This time, Harper could not respond, and Cody’s face darkened.

“Lana, we’re all on level ground here. Who doesn’t know about your flings and attraction to men in

South City? Don’t act like a saint.”

“That’s right. You’ve got no right to judge us,” Harper added.

“Hmph! Maybe I am promiscuous, but at least I’m not as heartless as you,” Lana retorted. One sharp

comeback left Cody and Harper lost for words. Their anger and pride stung. Lana was always ready for

a confrontation.

“Lana, I know you have a soft spot for Dustin, but he might not leave the Golden Balcony today,” Cody

said with a hint of bitterness.

“You might not even get to claim his lifeless body.” Lana remained unfazed. “Well, that’s none of your

business. Miracles can happen.”

“Miracles?” Cody scoffed.

“Even if God himself came today, he wouldn’t be able to save him!”

As they conversed, the Golden Balcony’s gate unexpectedly swung open. Dustin casually walked out

as if he was on a leisurely walk. His appearance was immaculate, without a speck of dust, as if he had

gone inside for a short walk.

“How is this possible?” At this sight, Cody and Harper were left dumbfounded, rooted to their spots.

Even Lana wore a look of disbelief. They knew no one marked by the Langford family had ever

emerged unscathed.

“I … am I seeing things? Dustin walked out alive? Without a scratch?” Cody rubbed his eyes, struggling

to accept it.

“No way! He was as good as gone when Hugo ordered everyone out,” Harper exclaimed, her eyes

wide in disbelief.

In their minds, Dustin’s fate was sealed when Hugo ordered the evacuation. They had braced

themselves to collect his lifeless body. Yet, in less than ten minutes, Dustin had miraculously walked

out of the Golden Balcony unharmed.

It was simply unbelievable!
