“Hey, handsome, it seems like we’ve landed ourselves in big trouble.” Lana looked worried as she watched them depart.
“Dealing with the Forrest and Welch families might be manageable with Mr. Dawson backing us up, but the Moseys are a different story.
“Both Dahlia and Scott are not individuals we can afford to offend.” She wasn’t too concerned about Dahlia since she had a good reputation and usually lived up to her promises. She probably wouldn’t hold this matter against them.
However, Scott was different. He had a notorious reputation in the business world, known for his vengeful nature and relentless pursuit of his goals. Offending a powerful man like him would undoubtedly bring them trouble.
“There’s no need to worry, Ms. Camron. We’re responsible for this mess. It’ll likely be directed at us if they come looking for trouble. The company won’t be affected,” Dustin said.
“Handsome, I’m not worried about implicating the company. I meant that you should stay out of the limelight to avoid retaliation,” Lana advised.
“How long would I need to avoid them? It wouldn’t solve anything in the long run. Besides, I’m not afraid of them retaliating.”
Dustin continued indifferently, “If they choose to let it go, then this matter would be put to rest. But if they insist on fighting till the end, I’ll make them regret it.”
“That’s right!” Abigail grinned. She continued excitedly, “If they try anything reckless, I’ll poison them all to death!”
“I see “Lana paled. She was at a loss for words. Common sense seemed to be a foreign concept to this crazy girl. Was she going to poison members of the Mosey family? If she unleashed her full madness, nothing could stop her.
“Abigail, be careful when using your poison in the future.” Right then, Dustin said seriously.
“I won’t interfere with your decisions, but I hope you won’t lose yourself.” As his only student, he didn’t wish for her to turn into a murderous maniac.
“Okay, okay, I got it!” Abigail hooked her arm around Dustin’s and said cheekily, “I’ll be careful in the future. I won’t randomly kill innocent people. I promise!”
“As long as you understand,” Dustin replied with a faint smile. He then turned his attention to Lana.” Ms. Camron, this is my student. She’s here to place orders for Dew Balm. Can you give her a discount?”
“What do you mean? We’re practically family now. There’s no need for a discount. Just take it for free,” Lana offered generously.
“Hehe! Thank you, beautiful lady!” Abigail cheered, her face lighting up.
“Favors are favors, and business is business. You can’t just give it away for free. Let’s at least charge her the production costs,” Dustin said seriously.
Abigail pouted immediately. She said pitifully, “Dustin, I’m very poor. My family is in dire straits. Can’t you do me a favor? I’m begging you!”
“You little money enthusiast. Even if you’re poor, do you lack these meager stuff?” Dustin was exasperated.
“Of course, I lack them! Do you know how expensive it is to produce poison? I only have a few pennies left on me,” Abigail said with a weak, pitiful look.
“Alright, alright. I already said it’s for free. In the worst case, I’ll cover the expenses myself!” Lana supported her strongly.
“Beautiful lady, you’re the best!” Upon hearing her, Abigail brightened and hugged Lana’s arm.
She made a face at Dustin. “Dustin, I’m underage. How can you haggle with a minor? You’re such a stingy man!”
“That’s right! Very stingy indeed!” Lana joined in, trying hard to suppress her laughter. Dustin appeared helpless as he listened to their banter. He was just about to say something when his phone rang.
