Chapter 1120
Sheila! They’re lying!” Vivian was concerned about the situation. She continued, “All this talk about saving you and repaying theirkindness is nonsense. From the moment Dustin approached you, it was all part of his master plan to win your favor. Don’t befooled by him!”
Evan interjected, “She’s right, Sheila! He’s a sly guy with hidden motives. You have to be carefull”
As she listened to them, Sheila’s momentary guilt vanished. She realized that Dustin’s actions were not out of genuine kindness.Instead, he had ulterior motives.
She saw his true nature yesterday. And now, she no longer felt any obligation or kindness toward him. Sheila took a deep breathand glanced at Dustin. “Dustin! | don’t want to see you anymore. Please leave.”
“You.”
Just as Cornelius was about to say something, Dustin interrupted him. Dustin looked disappointed. “Miss Murray, it seems youdon’t like me. Then, I'll leave now. Goodbye.” With that, he turned and walked to the door.
He noticed her determination to throw him out. So, there was no reason to stay there anymore. He believed he had conveyed hiswarm wishes by attending Christopher's birthday celebration.
“Hmph, he should have left earlier! What a pain in the ass!” Vivian sneered. “Someone, get word to Sir Edgar. As soon as Dustinleaves, detain him!”
Evan was determined to make Dustin feel the consequences of attacking Jayden. He knew he couldn’t disrupt the celebration,but he didn’t want Dustin to get away with what he had done.
“General Murray is here!” As Dustin left, a shout rang out from the bustling crowd. In the banquet hall, Christopher entered with agroup of people. With his tall, silver-haired appearance, he attracted attention.
As he entered, a silent wave of reverence went through the room. Heads nodded, and hands instinctively rose in salute.“Greetings, General Murray!”
Acollective chorus echoed through the room. High-ranking officials and prominent figures showed respect to the formidablegeneral. Earlier, Vivian and the others had caused quite a commotion, but now they were silent.
Only Sheila, unfazed by his authoritative presence, approached Christopher with a smile. She casually intertwined her arm withhis. To her, he was simply a kind old man.
“All of you don’t have to be so formal. Please, take a seat inside,” Christopher said with a smile. His charisma was undeniable,and he never once appeared authoritarian.
Edgar, the next Murray family patriarch, regarded him with respect. Caden and the other Murray family members also behavedhumbly in his presence.
