Chapter 371
Florence and the others present were stunned into silence
as they took in Dustin's righteous speech. Their faces were etched with disbelief. How dare he humiliate the highly respected third matriarch of the Nicholsons in public!
"You... insolent brat! You? Teach me a lesson? Do you know I can bring your
family to ruins with just one word?" Gloria cradled her burning face as she screeched in anger, losing her previous dignified elegance.
"You can try." Dustin showed no signs of fear.
"Hah!" Gloria exclaimed in anger before dissolving into scornful laughter. "Oh, Florence, what a great family you have. I came all the way here to Swinton just to elevate your family to a higher status. And yet, y
As Gloria pulled out her phone, Florence panicked and fell to her knees with a thud. She begged, " Madam Gloria, let's not be rash, shall we? This punk has nothing to
do with us. You can't put the blame on us for his actions."
Dakota interjected, "Don't listen to her nonsense, Grandma! This guy is their son-in-law!" "Ex-ex-son-in-law! They got a divorce a long time ago!" Florence corrected her vehemently.

He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Don't involve me in your buttering-up scheme!" He threw her aside forcefully.
Florence staggered back two steps, almost losing her balance. Her anger reached a tipping point. Wow! Did you just lay your hands on me? Dahlia! Look! This is the kind of man you love!" "Enough!" Dahlia sh and her group.
"Madam Gloria, I'm not sure about your purpose for visiting. If you're here for a serious
matter, please get to the point. I believe it's pointless if you're just here to show off your authority." Even though Dahlia was grateful for the opportunity, that didn't mean she would let them walk all over
her.
"Dahlia Nicholson, how bold of you! How dare you use that tone with Grandma?" Dakota reprimanded her severely.
Dahlia replied calmly, "What's wrong with my tone? I'm just asking for an explanation. If the family patriarch thinks I'm not fit for the position, I have no qualms for him to revoke the appointment." "You..." Dakota was about to start a new tirade when Gloria raised her hand and interrupted her. "Alright, since you wish to discuss serious matters, we'll follow the usual discourse!" Gloria backed off at the me "Even though the family patriarch has appointed you the chairman of Cardinal Group, there's a condition. You have to prove you have what it takes to assume control of Cardinal Group."
"And how should I do that?" Dahlia asked.
"It's simple. The company is in the midst of an important expansion and is in urgent need of funds amounting to one billion. You'll pass the test once you manage to secure one billion in
investments."
"One billion?"
