Chapter: 630
Quentin warned her sternly.
But she replied with a frown, “I will think of a way to deal with the Dark Lord.”
“Deal with him? How?! It’s been ten years. Every year, one of us Harmons would be killed for no good reason. Even after your dad and your uncle hired experts and gave their best efforts, they have no way to stop the Dark Lord, so what makes you think you can take him down?” Jessica retorted.
“Give me some time. I can do it.” Natasha had a determined look in her eyes.
Jessica shook her head.
“There’s no time. In seven days, Tyler will show up at our annual family gathering to ask for your hand in marriage. If you turn him down, our family might as well be ruined.”
Natasha fell into a heavy silence. She only had seven days left, and she had no idea what her fate would be if she could not come up with a solution.
Meanwhile, Dustin was at the Nicholson Villa, where he handed Dahlia a check.
“Here you go. These are the investments I got for you.”
“Investments?” She took a better look and froze up.
“O–one billion dollars? Where did you get that money from?”
“I have a friend who works at a bank. I got him to issue me an interest–free loan. This will tide you over,” Dustin explained. Technically, he wasn’t lying because Roderick Brooks indeed owned a few private banks.
“When did you have a friend in the bank?” Dahlia looked at him curiously. The friend practically lost out on the deal if it was an interest–free loan, and that was a pretty huge favor for Dustin to return.
“I’m a doctor, after all. I save lives all day, so it’s not weird for me to make friends along the way.”
He shrugged.
“That’s true.” She nodded and beamed at the sight of the check in her hands.
“I have to say, you really helped me a lot this time. With this one billion check, I will secure my position as the chairman of Cardinal Group.”
“A billion–dollar check? What are you talking about?” Florence and James wandered into the room at that moment.
“Mom, look at this!” Dahlia handed Florence the check. The latter was overjoyed when she saw the figure on the check.
“D–d–did I see wrongly? This is a check worth one billion!”
“One billion?” James‘ eyes bulged in shock. He had never seen that insane amount of money in his life.
“How’s that? It’s a surprise, isn’t it? Dustin brought me the check,” Dahlia showed off proudly.
“Dustin?” Florence furrowed her brows and examined him from head to toe with doubt.
“Are you sure he’s capable of this? Is the check a fake?”
“Of course not. I verified it multiple times. It’s a real check!” Dahlia looked serious.
