Chapter: 751
"Great. Well, Brooks Corporation is one of Big Bucks Brooks‘ businesses, and I work for him!" Terrence declared self–importantly.
"Oh? So you work for Roderick? What coincidence!" Dustin chuckled.
"What do you mean? Do you know him?" Terrence’s eyes narrowed.
"Of course I do! He used to seek medical help from me!" Dustin nodded.
"Seek your help?" Terrence sniggered.
"You’re quite a liar, aren’t you, my man? Have you even got any idea how influential Big Bucks Brooks is? How could he possibly go to an unqualified medical practitioner like you for help?"
"Exactly! There are reputable doctors everywhere here in Millsburg! Why would he seek medical help from you, of all people, when he can go to them? Who do you think you are?" Julie said with contempt.
"Hey, Rhys! Quit acting all important when you haven’t even gone through proper medical training! How disgusting!" Florence frowned. Since Dahlia was the one who invited him over, she felt embarrassed now that he was ousted as a liar.
"You don’t believe me? Well, how about I give Roderick a call now?" Dustin proposed.
"Sure! Go on, call him. I’d like to see for myself just how well–connected you are." Terrence laughed maliciously. Even as manager of Brooks Corporation, he didn’t have Big Bucks Brooks‘ number. How could this punk be acquainted with him? How ridiculous!
"Yeah, go on! I’d be impressed if you actually got ahold of him!" Julle sneered.
"Okay." Without wasting any time, Dustin pulled out his phone and made a call to Roderick Brooks. But after quite some time, the call still didn’t get through.
"What’s wrong? Is he not picking up? Haha! Well, carry on then, Terrence joked sarcastically. He was sure that Dustin was just putting on a show.
"Hey! Are you done yet? Everyone can tell that you’re taking it! Are you really going to carry on with the act?" Julie asked condescendingly.
"Hah! What an embarrassment!" Florence was very much annoyed.
"Forget it. Dustin. Let’s eat." Dahlia saw that things weren’t going well for him, so she quickly attempted to help him out of the awkward situation. Everyone knew Big Bucks Brooks. He single–handedly controlled Millsburg’s economy, so he definitely wasn’t someone who just anyone could establish a connection with.
"It got through." Just as everyone held Dustin contemptuously. Roderick finally picked up his call.
"Oh? The call got through? Here, let me hear what he has to say!" Terrence teased nastily and snatched the phone right out of Dustin’s hand before putting the call on speaker mode so that everyone could hear the conversation.
"Hello, who is this? Are you Big Bucks Brooks? Hey, Mr. Brooks, I’d just like to know, are you planning on playing along with the act too?" he asked derisively.
"Hey, you’re not Mr. Rhys! Who are you?" Roderick asked.
