Chapter 128
Another two days passed.
The atmosphere in the Langley family’s main villa was grim. The core family members gathered together, but they were all silent.
The Langley family’s situation grew more dreadful day after day. Every single day, they suffered great losses.
No one could remain calm anymore. Even the obstinate Margot felt shaken.
Today, they had gathered together to come up with a solution. But most of them were silent right from the start.
Finally, someone spoke to break the silence.
“Grandma, should we ask David and his family to come back?” Christian asked tentatively.
Margot’s face darkened.
She had disowned David and his family.
It had only been a few days since. If she called them back, she would be eating her own words. Her reputation and pride would suffer a blow, and she would be stuck in a morbid conundrum.
But was there a better plan?
Margot mulled over this for a while before she looked at Derek and Christian.
“Why don’t you go and visit David and his family?” she asked in a grim voice. “Tell them that we’re willing to give them a chance to return to the family, and we’ll also let them manage the Langley Group again.”
Derek and Christian’s faces stiffened.
They had thought that if they took control over the Langley Group, they would have power over all of the Langley family. But it seemed like they would have to return the company even before they ran it.
Margot knew that they had clashed with David and his family, but still, she was them to go!
This was her admitting defeat to David and his family. She wanted them to make a compromise.
Even though they did not want to, they could not disregard Margot’s wishes.
An hour later, Derek and Christian showed up at David’s place.
They sucked in a deep breath. Just when they were about to go in, they saw someone coming out.
“It’s Dustin!” Christian’s face darkened.
Dustin stood still with a sharp look.
“Why are you here?” he asked indifferently.
“It’s none of your business! We’re here for David and his family. Move!” Christian immediately started arguing with him.
Bam!
He was thrown back right after he finished speaking. He landed on the ground approximately thirty feet away.
The scene made him recall the last time. Just like that time, Christian took a moment to struggle to his feet.

“How dare you, Dustin?!” Derek pointed at Dustin in anger. He wanted to yell at him, but when he saw the Hell Guard glaring at him from the side, all his insults died in his mouth. The only thing he could do was demand an answer to why Dustin had done that without prompting.
“He was rude to me. If he does that again, I’ll break his legs,” Dustin said coldly, and Derek felt fear in the core of
his heart.
“Mom told me to pass on a message to David and his family. Tell them that she’s willing to give them another chance to return to the family. She will also return the Langley Group to them,” said Derek darkly as he helped the dizzy Christian to his feet.
Dustin smiled mockingly. “Despite your current situation, she still refuses to set aside her pride?”
To think Margot would say something like that…
She was the one who disowned David and his family. Even when she was unable to deal with the consequences of her actions anymore, she refused to admit defeat. She sent Derek and Christian in her steed. The way they passed on the message made it seem like she was doing them a favor…
She was willing to give David and his family another chance?
How shameless must she be to say that?!
Dustin’s face turned cold and murderous.
“Is that hag’s leg broken, or does she have no legs to make use of? She doesn’t want to come here herself, huh? Go back and tell her what I say now. If she wants David and his family to go back to her, sure. Tell her she must come here with everyone from the Langley family!”
- Derek pulled an ugly face.
Considering Margot’s pride, asking her to come and ask for forgiveness was harder than having her accept own death.
“You’re just an outsider! Why are you sticking your nose into our family’s business?” Derek shouted.
her
“If you don’t want to do that, then sit back and watch as your family crashes and burns!” Dustin said. He made his Hell Guard chase them out.
Derek’s face darkened even further.
