Chapter 594

“That’s alright, I can move into a smaller house. You, youngsters, are way too stressed out these days.

As an elder, it’s only right for me to help you out however I can.”

“I’m not stressed out. Life is as breezy as it can get for me.”

Dustin and Florence bantered back and forth through the phone, neither of them coming clean with the

truth. Since Florence took him as an idiot, Dustin gladly went along with the act and pretended to not

know any better.

It was Dahlia, however, who found the conversation unbearable. She now fully believed what Dustin

had told her. Her mother would not be so nice to Dustin otherwise. What she said about atoning for her

wrongdoings and relieving Dustin of his burdens was all bullshit!

Florence had been grinning from ear to ear when she managed to scam Dustin into buying that piece

of land! Now that she knew she had made a loss by selling it, she chose to put on a righteous and

upright facade to buy it back instead of being honest with Dustin. She was despicable and

greedy!

“Hey! Why are you so stubborn? I’m only doing this for your good, so hurry up and sell me that piece of

land!” As the conversation progressed, Florence began to lose her patience. Had it not been for the

money, she would never have wasted so much effort coaxing him gently, and would immediately start

shouting and cursing at him instead.

“Florence, why are you in such a hurry to purchase the abandoned construction site?” Dustin pressed.

This was Florence’s last chance to come clean. If she told him the truth, he would willingly let her have

a share of the profit.

“Have I not made myself clear yet? I can’t bear to see you lose money! I’d rather bear the burden

myself!” Florence stubbornly refused to spill the truth.

“That’s enough, Mom!” Dahlia finally could take it no more. “Are you still going to keep on cheating

people out of their money?”

“Hey, what’s that supposed to mean? When have I cheated others of their money?” Florence raised

her voice.

“Dustin already knows the truth. That piece of land is worth at least two billion dollars! You’ll never be

able to buy it back at the original price!” Dahlia exclaimed.

“What?” All was quiet for a while before Florence said sheepishly, “Oh, so you already knew? Why

didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“Florence, I’ve already reminded you repeatedly since a week ago! It was you who refused to

believe me,” Dustin retorted calmly.

“Oh, look how forgetful I am. I think my age is catching up on me!” Florence exclaimed regretfully.

“Dustin, I was wrong. I’ll listen to all your advice from now on. Can you please sell the piece of land to

me?”

“Had you shown just the slightest bit of honesty earlier on and did not intend to trick me out of my

money, I’d have readily shared a part of what I profited from it with you. But your actions have

truly disappointed me, so I will not be selling it to you,” Dustin told her truthfully.

“You’re not selling it?” Florence’s voice raised an octave when she heard what Dustin said. “That

belongs to me! What right have you got to not sell it to me?“

“The ownership of the land belongs to me. I can handle it however I please,” Dustin said matter–of-

factly.

“I don’t care! You better give me back what belongs to me, or I’ll make you regret it!” Florence

threatened menacingly. Just a few minutes ago, she had spoken so gently and kindly, but now her

true colors showed

“Behaving like this won’t get you anything,” Dustin said.

“You–you bastard! You vile, shameless scumbag! I’ll sue you! I’ll sue you for swindling me of my

money! You-” Florence spewed a torrent of curses through the phone with no care in the world.

But she was cut off when Dahlia ended the call. How aggravating! She was the one who bore bad

intentions, and she had the gall to berate Dustin? Utterly unreasonable! As Florence’s daughter,

Dahlia felt ashamed of her actions,
