David smiled. “Dustin is our benefactor, and we’re pleased with him. If he’s willing to marry Simone, we’d be completely on board with that.”
Margot’s face turned as dark as a thundercloud.
“Simone, what do you think of this?” She looked at Simone.
Simone shot a glance at Dustin, and her face turned red.
“What my father said… is exactly what I was going to say.”
Dustin’s composed face registered some surprise.
During his time living with the Langley family, he and Simone only flirted occasionally. They never crossed that line.
But David and Simone had just made their thoughts clear.
He felt warmth in his heart, and his gaze grew sharp.
If he was so highly valued in this family, he could not let them down.
“You b*stard!” Margot slammed the cane on the floor again and snapped. “Are you stupid?! Has he cast a spell on you?!
“He’s just a piece of trash! He’s completely alone with no one to support him! He’s nothing! With Simone’s beauty and qualifications, he isn’t worthy of her!”
Margot’s harsh words made Simone and her family boil in rage. Dustin’s face turned cold as well.
“More than a year has passed, and you’re all still such disappointments!” Margot yelled at them.
David wanted to defend himself. “Mom, the Langley Group has managed to-”
“Enough! You only got a deal. You have a collaboration with the Excelsior Group in Somerton, haven’t you? That’s nothing! Do you really think you got that collaboration through your own efforts? Someone important in Somerton told the Excelsior Group to work with you. Otherwise, you aren’t worthy of such a collaboration,” Margot said impatiently.
“And you, Camille Langley, you don’t even study properly. All you do is dream about becoming a star. You’re such a disappointment!”
Camille looked sad. She wanted to speak up, but she was interrupted.
“Your entire family is a trash bag full of problems, and you dare choose your own son–in–law? How dare you?!
“I’m the only one who gets to decide who Simone marries, understand?”
Since Margot was the matriarch of the family, she was very aggressive. In just a few words, she left Simone and her family speechless.
In powerful families, most marriages were based on alliances for interests, and women had little autonomy to decide who they wanted to marry.

“But Dustin is- David wanted to argue.
“Enough! He helped your family, didn’t he? Then, we’ll return the favor.” Margot grew even more impatient.

“Bring it over, Christian,” she said to Christian, who stood beside her.
Christian walked over to Dustin with a box, and he opened it. There were wads of cash within the box.
With a mocking sneer, Christian dumped the cash in front of Dustin.

“That’s three million. Take however much you want. Once you do, leave. After this, Simone will have nothing more to do with you. If you dare to flaunt how you saved her life once, we’ll make you regret it!” Margot said with an air of superiority.
Dustin scowled. His gaze turned cold.
What did the Langley family take him for?
Were they trying to dismiss him with three million?
This scene was all too familiar. The Wyatt family had done something similar before. They thought that they could treat him like a charity case by offering him some money and thought he would be grateful to them forever.
Such arrogance!
“Now then, we’ve returned the favor. You don’t have to worry about him anymore.” Margot waved an arm and said with a smile, “Simone, I’m going to introduce you to a good man now.”
Simone and her family’s faces changed.
Dustin’s face darkened.
