Chapter 117

“Good news. Mom has called us to the Langley family’s main villa for dinner tonight!” David suddenly said during breakfast.

“We’re to return to the main villa?”

Simone and Camille were surprised.

“Yes. Mom called us all.” David was really excited. It seemed like he had been looking forward to this for a long time. “We haven’t returned to the main villa for more than a year. At that time, since we suffered so many losses in the company, we felt so ashamed to return. The company is back on its feet, and we’re even working together with major companies in Somerton. We can finally return with our heads held high.”

“Our relatives can’t talk sh*t about us anymore,” Camille said somewhat angrily,

“What happened?” Dustin whispered to Simone.

Simone sighed and told Dustin about the Langley family. It was one of the most prestigious families in Rivenesco. It ran many businesses.

Margot Langley had three sons, and David was the youngest.

Since he was an honest man, he was far less cunning compared to his brothers. He also married Monique regardless of his family’s disapproval, which was why he was not respected much in the Langley family.

Over the years, their family had been marginalized and even banned from returning to the main villa.

The company they ran was already on its way to bankruptcy when David got it. It was the least profitable business of the Langley family.

Since David ran the company with integrity, it did not earn him much money, and the company’s profits just kept declining, so the Langley family looked down on him even more.

At this point, it could be said that David had practically risen from the ashes.

“Looks like we’re finally getting their approval,” said David with a smile. He told everyone to get ready to return to the main villa.

Obviously, he still cared about the Langley family’s opinion of him and wanted their approval dearly.

“By the way, Dustin. Why don’t you join us? Mom told me to bring you along too,” David suddenly said.

Dustin raised an eyebrow.

He did not remember ever talking to others of the Langley family before.

Why did Margot insist on him tagging along?

David took Simone out with him to buy some gifts. Around 3 p.m., they headed to the Langley family’s main villa.

When they arrived outside the main villa, David parked his car outside and led the entire family on foot to the gate to show respect.

He thought that someone would come to receive them, but there was no one there.

When they arrived at the gate, they saw a young man walking out.

“Christian, did Mom ask you to welcome us? Thank you,” David said with a smile.

Christian sneered.

“You’re reading too much into this, Uncle David. I heard some noise outside and came out to see whether anyone was trying to trespass,” Christian said icily.

The harsh words made them frown.

“Christian is Uncle Derek’s son. He’s my cousin,” Simone whispered to Dustin.

“We’re all family. How could you call us outsiders?” David asked darkly.

“Is that so?” Christian looked at Dustin tauntingly. “If that’s the case, who is he?”

“This is Dustin. Mom asked me to bring him along,” David said.

“Grandma said that? Then, why haven’t I heard her?” Christian’s face darkened. “Our family has many precious belongings. What if we lose something? You wouldn’t be able to pay for it.”

With that, Christian pulled out a sign from behind the door and placed it at the entrance.

[Dogs and anyone with the surname “Fox” are not allowed entry!]

This targeted insult made Dustin’s face turn sour. His gaze turned cold.

Margot had asked David to bring him along, but he was not allowed entry. Instead, he was even insulted… What was she planning?

Dustin did not remember ever getting on the Langley family’s bad side.

“Christian, you’re crossing the line!” Simone flew into a rage and shouted.

“Exactly! Does Grandma know what you’re doing? You’re going to get punished!” Camille said in warning.

Christian did not respond to that. He just sneered and said coldly, “It’s not that easy to enter our house. It’s definitely not easy becoming part of the family either!”

Dustin frowned.

Did the Langley family think of him as Simone’s fiance?

“What on earth do you mean, Christian? Dustin isn’t…” Simone’s face turned red as she tried to retort.

But Christian looked impatient and said mockingly, “All those who want to come into our house need to have certain social standing. Dustin is just a piece of trash from the Wyatt family. He has no power whatsoever, and he wants to come in? Ha! He’s not worthy!

“If he really wants to come in, He can go through here.”

Then, he planted his feet wide apart. The meaning was clear: Dustin was supposed to crawl between his legs.

“Well? Can you?” Christian challenged Dustin.

Dustin’s face was cold. His gaze was fierce.

The Langley family had called him here to insult him.

“Christian, you’re crossing the line! I’m going to demand an answer from Mom for this!” David was livid.

“I can handle this, David.” Dustin stopped him and walked forward with a dark face.

Christian raised his head. He did not think of Dustin as a threat at all.

If Dustin was a true son of the Wyatt family, he would be fawning all over him, but he was just an adopted son who was kicked out. He was unworthy of being treated with respect.

“If you’re going to crawl, do it quickly. I want to go in and eat,” Christian said impatiently.

“You’re bold,” Dustin said.

“What?” Christian did not hear him clearly.

“Very few people dare to act so ignorant in front of me,” Dustin said coolly.

Christian’s face turned even more mocking

“Ha! Do you think you’re that important? Do you think you’re still the adopted son of the Wyatt family? Ha! You’re not even worthy of cleaning my shoes! You have no right to say such things to me! You aren’t scaring me with such words.
