Chapter: 914

Dustin was left speechless. Why did everyone think that he was a boy toy? When, in fact, he had worked hard and honestly for all his accomplishments? Maybe he really shouldn’t have kept such a low profile all this time.

Just then, Julie’s phone rang. She picked it up, and soon after, her face fell.

"What? You’ve found Terrence? Where is he? Sure. We’ll be there right away!"

"What is it?" Dahlia asked.

"Mom just called me to say that someone spotted Terrence having a meal at Saffron Restaurant.

She’s heading over with Aunt Florence and wants us to come along to catch the swindler too!"

Julie told Dahlia.

"Terrence Stone? How dare that cheat show his face in public again?" Dahlia was furious. He had nearly made her family go bankrupt because of the issue with the abandoned building. In the end, it was Dustin who took one for the family and bought it over. Hence, she had nothing good to say about Terrence.

"Stop being idle, Dustin! Go, get a car! We need to make Terrence give back all the money he ripped us off!" Julie said resentfully.

"I’ve bought over the abandoned building, so neither of you made any losses. Why are you both so worked up?" Dustin couldn’t comprehend their anger.

"Hey! What do you mean? A con man like Terrence needs to be taught a lesson! We should act for justice!" Julie declared righteously.

"Is that so?" Dustin smiled. He knew very well what was going on in Julie’s head. Her declaration of justice was bullshit. She was just peeved that she was scammed, so she wanted to get some form of compensation from Terrence.

Taking a different car, the three of them hurried off to Saffron Restaurant.

Saffron Restaurant was a nice eatery with a good ambiance, excellent service, and exquisite food, so it was only to be expected that a place like that would charge exorbitant prices.

Over in a private room at Saffron Restaurant, Terrence, who had dressed up flashily, was having a meal with the wrong kind of people.

"I’ve got good news for you, Terrence." After having one too many drinks, a man with a rounded face said, "I’ve heard from some official sources that the abandoned construction site will be developed as a key project. Its value is rapidly increasing now!"

"What did you say? Key project?" Terrence was stunned by what he heard.

"You’re not joking, are you, Richie? That place’s trash! Why would anyone invest money in developing it?"

"It’s true!" The man with the rounded face said, "My father works with the relevant department, and the information has been confirmed! There’s no mistaking that!"

"Didn’t you buy that plot of land where the abandoned construction is, Terrence?" Someone asked.

"That’s right! I recall that too! I could not understand why Terrence would buy that piece of land back then! In hindsight, I guess you already knew about it then, didn’t you?"

"You’re something else, Terrence! How could you predict where the developments would be? Do you have some sort of insider information?"
