My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

The next day, Dustin followed Simone to work as usual.

Peace Hospital was thriving. Not only was it the most sought-after hospital in the region, but patients from all over the country also flocked there for treatment.

In stark contrast, the main Langley family's Goodwill Hospital was desolate. Its outpatient and inpatient departments were practically empty.

At this rate, it was only a matter of time before Goodwill Hospital was forced to shut down.

The main Langley family was anxious, but they had no viable solutions.

When Dustin stepped into Simone's office, she was on the phone.

"Simone, the Clarke family patriarch, Hayden Clarke, has stormed into the Langley family villa! He smashed down the front gate and demanded to know who sent his son to prison. He's threatening to tear that person apart...

"Whatever you do, don't come back! Both you and Dustin need to lie low for now!" Monique hung up in a rush and left Simone frozen with the phone in her hand. She had not yet grasped the full extent of what was happening when another call came in from the main Langley family.

Conan ordered her and Dustin to appear at the main family villa immediately.

Simone's family was only a small branch of the Langley family. Since Hayden had taken his ire directly to the main family villa, the main family was more than eager to throw her under the bus.

"What do we do?" Simone's voice was filled with worry. She was wringing her hands like a cat on a hot tin roof.

"Simone, what's going on?" Dustin asked as he stepped inside.

Simone quickly recounted the situation.

"I've heard about Hayden. He's got quite the temper. Anyone who's crossed him in recent years has faced severe consequences... Now, he's personally leading his men to the main Langley family villa to demand answers...

"He even said he wants to tear you apart..."

She did not want Dustin to get hurt.

"Hmph! It's just the patriarch of the Clarke family. What kind of chaos could he possibly stir up?" Dustin said calmly.

"The Clarke family is one of the most powerful families in Hattan right now. Even if you have connections, dealing with them won't be easy." Simone sighed.

Weaknesses always crumbled before absolute power!

She had learned from experience.

That was why she was so determined to grow stronger and break free from being at other people's mercy.

"Dustin, maybe you should hide for now. I'll go back and deal with this myself," she said.

Dustin immediately shook his head.

He would never let Simone face this alone. That would only lead to Hayden taking out his anger on her.

He could not let that happen.

Besides, did he really have anything to fear from Hayden?

"Come on, let's go together." Dustin took her hand and led her out of the office

while she was momentarily stunned

Before long, they arrived at the Langley family villa.

From a distance, they saw the main gate shattered in two and lying on the ground. At the entrance, over a dozen burly men with menacing expressions stood guard.

"Dustin, maybe we shouldn't go in..." Simone's worry deepened.

Dustin smiled faintly and continued to pull her forward.

"Stop! Who are you?" One of the men blocked their path and shouted at them.

"I'm Dustin."

The man's eyes narrowed, then he motioned for them to follow.

Inside the Langley family villa's hall, a middle-aged man with a square jaw and short hair sat in a large chair while sipping tea leisurely.

That was Hayden Clarke, the patriarch of the Clarke family.

Around him, Conan and several other Langley family members stood nervously.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hayden. Dustin will be here soon."

Hayden sneered as his sharp gaze swept over the room. No one dared meet his eyes.

"Your family really picked a fine son-in-law, didn't you? Bold enough to step on the Clarke family..." he said with a sinister smile.

"Mr. Hayden, Dustin has nothing to do with us! He's been controlling and threatening us this whole time. We've had no control over his actions.

"We had no hand in whatever he did to your son. It's all his own doing Whatever you decide to do to him, we won't interfere," Conan quickly said to distance himself from Dustin. noveldrama
