Chapter: 853

"Enough. We’re a family. It’s not the time to fight right now. We should be working together to get past this storm." Florence placated.

"Dahlia, you’re the smartest here. What should we do now?"

"Admit defeat, I guess. Whatever else?" Dahlia grumbled.

"I have an idea." Suddenly thinking of an idea, Julie whispered.

"Since Terrence lied to us, we can do the same to someone else. As long as we find another scapegoat, everything will be fine.

"That’s a good idea. My daughter is so smart!" Victoria’s eyes immediately lit up. Julie was right. Rather than suffering themselves, why don’t they make someone else suffer? They should just act in their own interests.

"That is a good idea, but where will we find the scapegoat?" James rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"A scapegoat?" Florence thought about it for a second, and her eyes shot to Dustin. Wasn’t there a perfect one right there?

"What?" Dustin frowned when Florence’s gaze swept toward him.

"Why are you looking at me? Are you telling me to be the scapegoat? What the fuck?" he thought.

"Dustin…" Florence forced a smile. She took an apple out of her fruit basket and handed it to Dustin.

"Aren’t you hungry? Here, have an apple."

"What are you trying to do?" Dustin looked at her warily. It only raised suspicions more with Florence going out of her way to be kind to him.

"Well, you heard what we said, didn’t you?" Florence forced out a sweet, kind smile.

"You’ve always been a kind person. I’m sure you can’t bear to see us lose our money like this, so I hope you can do us a favor."

"What favor?" Dustin had his guard up.

"Don’t you know a few rich women? Why don’t you help us sell off those abandoned buildings?

"

"You’re asking me to scam people for you?" Dustin raised an eyebrow.

"How could you say that?" Florence feigned innocence.

"We’re not deceiving anyone; we’re simply repurposing waste. Those wealthy people aren’t short on money anyway, so think of it as doing a good deed."

"She’s right!" Julie nodded.
