My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

He refused.

He turned down the olive branch the Yeager family extended to him.

Zack's face darkened once again.

Warren and Percy glared at Dustin.

They did not bother to lower themselves. They believed that offering him and Patricia some form of acceptance was a grand act of the Yeager family's generosity. Yet he had the audacity not to reject it?

Damien and Alex smiled faintly.

Patricia let out a soft sigh.

She had wanted to return to the Yeager family. When Zack made the offer, she had wished Dustin would agree. Unfortunately, he refused.

But she did not blame Dustin. After all, receiving so much unfairness naturally left some resentment in him.

Dustin returned to the banquet while Zack addressed the guests. He told them to enjoy themselves. However, his face remained icy.

"Hey there, young man. I'm the head of Aurora Enterprises. It's an honor to meet you. Cheers..."

"Young man, that bead of yours is quite remarkable. Are you interested in similar items?"

As soon as Dustin returned, a swarm of guests surrounded him.

They were all smiles and eager to form connections with him.

No one dared to look down on him anymore.

Calling him a good-for-nothing? That was utter nonsense.

What just happened was proof of his terrifying abilities. Many suspected that Dustin had a powerful and mysterious background.

Ordinary people could not just waltz up to the head of a

family.

No one had spared Dustin a second glance when he entered the banquet. He was nothing but a laughingstock. Yet, his status had flipped entirely. He was the one they all wanted to curry favor with.

Members of prominent families in Hattan treated Dustin with eagerness. He had suddenly become the center of attention and the star of the banquet.

The Yeager family? They had been relegated to the sidelines.

Zack and his relatives stood around awkwardly. Their faces could not have darkened further.

There was one person in particular who was seething.

"That useless mutt actually managed to turn things around..." Kendall stood in a corner with a cold glaze and crushed the wine glass in his hand.

He could not accept it.

The fool he used to bully at will, the one who used to tremble just seeing him, had suddenly transformed into someone revered by the most powerful families.noveldrama

How did he get that bead?

Dustin was a loser. But his status had risen leagues above Kendall's.

But no matter how great Dustin became, Kendall still despised and looked down on him.

Anger boiled within him.

How could that waste rise to such heights?

Jealousy, frustration, and resentment consumed him...

Damien and Alex felt the same.

The Yeager family could only stand on their home turf and watch as Dustin basked in the limelight.

"Didn't you just say Dustin was just a

"Didn't you say they were so poor they had to live in the suburbs and work odd jobs just to survive?"

Warren and Percy were speechless.

They could not wrap their heads around it.

That fool had been treated like garbage in the Yeager family. No one could stand the sight of him.

How did getting kicked out suddenly lead to his rise? Today's incident shook all of them.

If he had shown any value earlier, the Yeager family would not have cast him out in the first place.

"Father, I think it's just some old favor his late grandfather might have earned. It's not really about him.

Zack was deep in thought.

He was not convinced.

Dustin's late grandfather was an extraordinary man. Who knew how many powerful favors he had left behind for Dustin?

"After the banquet, send someone to investigate. I want every detail on how Dustin got that bead from Stanley!"

His eyes flickered with thought when he glanced toward Dustin, who was still surrounded by people.

'Well done, Dustin. It seems you really did amount to something,' thought Zack.

Elite family connections, huh?

The Yeager family had just

established ties with the powerful Pierce family and entered a business partnership with them. Theiro connections were nothing less than his. sŵnovel

Dustin was too naive to think he could rise above the Yeager family...
