Chapter 1069: The Horse Race
“Oh, I’m here to visit General Murray,” Dustin replied with a faint smile.
“Hmph! What a joke!” Vivian curled her lips with a disdainful look.
Ever since the band-aid incident, she had been holding a grudge against Dustin. But she had to admit that he indeed had some abilities.
On that day, when she was hospitalized with a gunshot wound, she had just discovered that she had lung cancer. Fortunately, it was detected in time, and under the influence of a generous compensation, her condition was stabilized.
“Grandpa has gone out for a bit and won’t be back for a while. Why don’t you come in, have some tea, and sit down? I have a few questions I’d like to consult with you,” Shiela Murray said without giving Dustin a chance to decline. She grabbed his arm and led him toward the entrance of the general’s residence.
“Shiela, didn’t we agree to go practice horse riding at the racetrack?” Vivian reminded.
“Oh, right! I got a little too excited just now and almost forgot,” Shiela replied.
She looked at Dustin and tentatively asked, “Dustin, how about we go to our family’s racetrack? When my grandpa comes back, I bring you to him. What do you think?”
“No problem,” Dustin agreed with a smile. He wasn’t disappointed by the change in plans.
“Great! Let’s go to the racetrack!”
Shiela Murray smiled sweetly and then led the group, including Dustin, to the back of the general’s residence.
“Chase, judging by the way Shiela looks at him, it seems she’s quite interested in this guy. You should be cautious,” Vivian whispered.
“Hmph! A martial artist without power or influence can never be worthy of Shiela,” Chase Johnson replied with disdain. “Even if she has a favorable impression of him, the Murray Family would never agree to it. They are not in the same league. No matter how hard he tries, he can’t fit into our circle.”
“That’s true,” Vivian said, nodding in agreement.
Although Dustin had decent martial arts skills and some medical knowledge, it was still far from enough.
1. A distinguished family background.
