Chapter: 748
"The flower of Crimson Gem is quite valuable. I want it," Tyler said nonchalantly. "Get some of our men to retrieve it, and get rid of the scumbag while they’re at it."
"Sure thing!" Jayla’s eyes lit up instantly. She had been planning to exact revenge on him for the longest time.
Now that she had her brother’s support, she was sure she’d get things to go her way.
On Dustin’s way back, his phone rang. He took his phone out to see that it was a call from Dahlia.
"Dustin, where have you been for the past few days? I haven’t heard from you for quite some time. I went to the medical center to see you, but Maximus said you’ve gone missing for several days."
"Oh, I’ve got some matters to attend to in Millsburg. I won’t be back so soon," Dustin explained.
"Is that so? What a nice coincidence! I’m in Millsburg too! I just got off the train. I called to bid you goodbye, didn’t expect you’d get here before I did!" Dahlia sounded surprised.
"What are you doing here in Millsburg? Dustin was taken aback.
"The Nicholson family’s business, Cardinal Group, is located here in Millsburg, so I’ve come to take over the position of chairperson," Dahlia told him.
"I see." Upon giving it more thought, it made sense for the company to be in Millsburg. After all, many elites were gathered here in Millsburg, so many huge corporations and enterprises chose to establish their presence and operations here.
"Shall we have lunch together? There’s something I’d like to discuss with you," Dahlia invited.
"Sure. Where are we having lunch?"
"Spices Diner."
"Alright. I’ll be there in a bit." Dustin ended the call and told the chauffeur to head straight to Spices Diner.
Over at Spices Diner, Florence sat in a booth and took in the sight around her, occasionally commenting on what she saw. "Look, Dahlia. Things are so different here in Millsburg. Every other diner here looks so posh! I’ve decided! I’ll stay here in Millsburg for good! This is such a huge and advanced city! Everything’s so convenient here, and it’s way better than stuffy old Swinton!"
There was nothing much Dahlia could do but listen helplessly. She had planned on coming to Millsburg to assume her position alone, but Florence and James insisted on tagging along. They claimed that they didn’t want her coming to Millsburg alone with no one to rely on and that they’d be more at ease knowing that they’d be able to help her and take care of her.
"Mom, does Aunt Victoria live nearby?" James suddenly asked out of nowhere.
"She does! And I’ve invited her to join us for lunch. She should be here by now." Florence nodded.
As they spoke, a group of three came in through the door, led by a glamorously dressed middle–aged woman. She was adorned from head to toe in gold, from gold necklaces to gold earrings and rings. She appeared every part a wealthy woman, and she was none other than Florence’s sister, Victoria Franklin. Following behind her were Julie and an attractive young man.
"You’re here, Victoria! Quick, have a seat!" Florence immediately stood up and welcomed them enthusiastically when she saw them coming in through the door.
