Chapter: 615
“Three days? Are you crazy?” Florence almost jumped out of her skin.
“How on earth will we secure one billion in three days? That’s a huge amount! Thirty days would be more reasonable!” Dahlia’s brows knitted.
“Dustin, where would I get one billion in just three days?” Securing one billion already posed a challenge, but now, she had to secure it within three days. It was practically impossible.
“Not to worry. Leave it to me. I’ll make sure to get it done.” Dustin smiled assuringly.
“Alright. You’re the one who promised. I’m giving you exactly three days.” Gloria’s eyes sparkled, and she sneered.
“If you can’t do it within three days. All of you will get the fuck out of this family! “With that, she left with the aid of her cane, not allowing them any space for a rebuttal.
“Hah, what a joke! One billion in three days? Don’t be naive, you’re not that rich!” After mocking them, Dakota and Jane followed Gloria.
It was impossible for both of them to achieve such a feat, not to mention Dahlia. They believed Dustin was only trying to show off and said so in a moment of indignance. However, that just made him appear childish to them.
After they left, Florence burst out in anger, “Rhys! What makes you think you can just agree to their conditions on your own? Do you know that once we fail, Dahlia will lose her position as chairman of Cardinal Group? Are you bringing us down on purpose?”
Dustin explained, “If we didn’t agree, Dahlia’s position as chairman would be threatened either way.”
“Hah! Easy for you to say. Even if money fell from the sky, we wouldn’t be able to secure one billion in three days!” Florence exclaimed in frustration.
Dustin responded calmly, “Since I agreed, naturally, that means I’m confident. Just leave it to me.”
“Leave it to you? Who do you think you are? You just own a shabby medical center. Do you really think you’re someone of high status?” Florence admonished him.
“Hah! If you do manage to accomplish the feat, I’ll get on my knees and kiss your feet!” James looked at him in contempt.
“Great, that’s a deal.” Dustin flashed a smile.
Dustin walked out of Nicholson Villa and was about to make a call when his phone rang. It was from Roderick Brooks.
Dustin answered, “Hello, Mr. Brooks, I was just about to go look for you. It’s such a coincidence that you called first.”
“Oh? Is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Rhys?” Roderick was taken aback.
“I have a friend who got into some trouble and needs a sum of money. Would it be possible for me to borrow money from you?” Dustin asked.
“Phew, you scared me. I thought it was something serious. It turns out you just need money. Of course. I might not have much of anything else, but I definitely have money. How much does your friend need?” Roderick breathed a sigh of relief.
“One billion.”
“No problem. I’ll send it to you tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Mr. Brooks.”
“No need to be so polite, Mr. Rhys. You were the one who treated my recurring illness!”
“Congratulations again. Right, is there a reason you called me?” Dustin changed the subject.
