Chapter: 281
“Easy for you to say. This is the Hummer’s ban we’re talking about. Who knows, all of us might go bankrupt in a couple of days and no longer have a place to call home in Swinton anymore!” Florence snapped in fury.
“That’s right! If it wasn’t for Dustin, who kept stirring up trouble and dragging us down with him, how could the Nicholsons even have ended up in this situation today?” James spoke, and the rest agreed with him.
“What’s going on, Dustin? I believe that you can enlighten all of us here?” Dahlia suddenly piped up. She was giving him a chance to explain himself properly.
“Tina was unruly and unreasonable, which is why I decided to put her in her place,” Dustin replied bluntly.
“See, everyone heard that, right? He beat up the girl first, so he was the one who instigated this whole thing in the first place. So, he’s entirely to blame for the ban on the Nicholson family!” Florence shouted even more fiercely.
“You’re a thorn in our sides, Dustin! You owe us an explanation for every affliction you’ve caused all of us!”
“I suggest kidnapping him and handing him over to the Hummers so that we can quell their rage!”
A bunch of chatter erupted from the crowd, and it could be seen that most of them were in favor of kidnapping him.
“You are too impulsive, Dustin! Do you even know who Ms. Hummer is? What makes you think you’re worthy of going head–to–head with her? Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused?” Dahlia scoffed with a frown.
“So what you’re telling me.Is that I should’ve just sat there and watched as you got brutally beaten up and humiliated?” Dustin sneered coldly.
It didn’t matter if Florence and the others didn’t understand, but if Dahlia still insisted on pinning the blame on him, then he’d feel that all his efforts were for nothing.
“Don’t you twist my words! I am trying to tell you to consider the consequences first before doing anything! Not only did you get us into trouble, you even hurt your reputation in the process!” Dahlia retorted with a scowl on her face.
“I’m not the type to dwell on the details. All I know is that I’ll get revenge on anyone who crosses me!” Dustin said in a cold voice.
“You guys heard it yoursell! This kid is still as stubborn as ever! Thus, we must hand him over to the Hummers! “Florence instigated as she gestured at two of the younger Nicholsons.
The two immediately understood her intention and placed their hands on each side of Dustin’s shoulders.” You’d better be more cooperative with us, or else you’ll get what’s coming to you!”
Dustin frowned and was ready to pounce on them when Julle suddenly burst into the room with a panicked look on her face.
“This is bad, Auntie! The Hummers have brought their men here to kill us all!*
“What?!” A collective gasp arose from everyone in the room as the news startled them.
They thought it was already bad that the whole family got banned, but they never expected the Hummers to be this cruel.
They were already knocking at their doors. Were they trying to drive them into a corner?
“It’s over, it’s over! We’re dead meat this time!”
“How could this happen? Why can’t the Hummers give us a break for once?”
The crowd panicked and started jumping to their feet anxiously.
“It’s all because of that damn bastard! It’s all his fault!”
“That’s right! The Hummers must have come for Dustin, so let’s hand him over and we’ll be all right!”
