Chapter: 518
“Yep.” Natasha nodded.
“Is he crazy? How could he kill Joshua Hummer? Doesn’t he know that Joshua’s mentor is Clement Lincoln? Isn’t he worried that Boulderthorn would retaliate?” Jessica snapped.
“The Hummer family and I are already enemies, so I don’t think Dustin did anything wrong.” Natasha countered.
The truth was she’d already been prepared to fight against them after hearing that the military had arrested Dustin. Still, it was a good thing he returned safely.
“He did nothing wrong?” Jessica frowned.
“Natasha, do you have any idea what you’re saying? Even your father has to be careful around Lincoln! Dustin won’t be the only one to die if Lincoln wants revenge. You’ll be dragged down too!”
Boulderthorn was one of the strongest guilds in Balerno. The Harmon family wouldn’t be able to stand up against them, much less the guildmaster, who had the power to control over ten thousand men.
To put things into perspective, without military aid, no one would be able to stop those martial artists.
“Boulderthorn may be powerful, but they are not above the law. They won’t be able to do as they please. Besides, did you really think that the Hummer family was going to simply let us go if Dustin hadn’t killed Joshua? Since nothing can stop us from being enemies, the next best option would be to make the first move!” Natasha explained calmly, having thought about it earlier.
“I don’t care. Dustin is in big trouble this time. If you don’t want to drag our family into this mess, you better cut all ties with him right now!” Jessica warned.
“That’s your plan? Cutting ties with him?” Natasha snorted.
“You shouldn’t forget that Dustin offended the Hummer family for me. Are you telling me to turn my back on him right now?”
“Why not?” Jessica responded scornfully.
“Everyone has their value. Once they’re no longer of use, they should be discarded. You should always focus on the bigger picture.”
“How could you say something like that? You haven’t changed, have you? You’re still so disgusting!” Natasha sneered before spinning around to leave.
“You” Jessica fumed.
Was it wrong for a mother to worry about her daughter’s safety? So why couldn’t Natasha understand her?
“Istrid!” Jessica called out.
A voluptuous woman immediately hurried into the room.
“Yes, Madam?”
“Send an anonymous letter to Clement Lincoln to let him know everything Dustin has done.” Jessica instructed.
“Huh?” Isfrid was stunned.
“A–are you sure, Madam?”
Dustin had been severely injured just to save Natasha, yet Jessica was telling her to betray him. That was crossing the line.
“Shut up and do as I say! Natasha will only be safe if we sacrifice Dustin. Hurry up!” Jessica ordered coldly.
