Chapter 185
“You are the one who should be leaving.”
Dustin’s gaze locked onto Aaron as he spoke calmly.
The ballroom buzzed with murmurs of disbelief.
The Burke family was one of the elite families of Lannopolis. Even in the elite circles of Lannopolis Elite College, where wealth and influence were abundant, few would dare cross
someone like Aaron.
But Irene’s date was a completely unknown person who did not seem to belong to any notable family. How could he be so bold?
Phoebe sneered mockingly.
She knew Aaron’s temper all too well. There was no way he would let such an insult slide. Irene’s “perfect date” was bound to suffer.
Aaron’s face darkened. He slowly got up while still holding the engagement ring in one hand.
“You’re the first person to speak to me like that…” he said in an icy voice full of menace. A twisted smile spread across his face. “And you’ll be the last!”
“Aaron, what are you trying to do? Think before you act!” Irene quickly stepped in front of Dustin with a tense face.
“You’re defending him?” Aaron asked. His tone was sharp and disbelieving. Each word dripped with venom.
Irene felt exasperated.
She was not protecting Dustin. She was trying to save Aaron from his own stupidity.
After all, the once–arrogant Aquila family had already been wiped out for crossing Dustin.
The Burke family’s influence was not much stronger than the Aquila family.
“Relax. I won’t cause a scene here,” Aaron said as he raised his chin arrogantly. “But I will make sure he knows his place.”
He turned back to Dustin with a condescending look. “Look, I’m not unreasonable. If you’re interested in Irene, then let’s settle this fairly,” he said as he held up the ring box for all to see.
“A man’s worth is easily proven. Since I met Irene, I’ve been giving her gifts on every occasion, and none of those gifts are worth less than a million dollars. For this proposal, I even spent tens of millions at the Central Harbor Auction House to buy this top–quality

Verdigris Emerald. And you? What have you given her?”
Aaron’s eyes roved over Irene to search for any expensive accessories, but he found none.
“You’ve spent so much time with Irene. Surely you’ve given her something nice, haven’t you?”
“Aaron, I’ve never accepted any gifts from you! And whatever relationship you think I have with Dustin… it’s nothing like that!” Irene said in frustration.
However, Dustin raised a hand to gesture to her to stop.
He smiled faintly as he reached out to pluck the Verdigris Emerald ring from its box.
“This tiny pebble is smaller than my fingernail, and you spent tens of millions on it? Truly extravagant!” he said mockingly.
“Do you even know what this is?” Aaron shot back furiously. “This is top–grade Verdigris Emerald. It’s the finest you’ll ever see!”

Nice one...
Shitty ending but considering overall I give the book .05 out of 5 stars. You used the same plot to many times, too many translation errors, even at the end you screwed around with the font and color because who knows why, the title had nothing to do with the story do I need to continue...
Just move to the enemy and let the snipers kill him for you Dustin. Use him as your shield easy peasy Mac n cheesey....
Tell hell hall said get his ass out here now or I will kill everyone here you have 10 seconds to do what I said. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 to late...
Why does Dustin still think he owes his adoptive dad a debt? Sure he saved his life and help raise, taught martial arts etc... till his death but Dustin stayed on and put his life at risk and invested his time and money into his 5 daughters up until they came across their biological brother and kicked him out. Treat him like a thieving dog and have attempted numerous times to kill him. He finally showed some common sense by imprisoning the 1 sister and killing her cousin yet he lets the others slide. With his status and power I would have already killed them off or at the very least taken them and imprisoned them like the 1 and tortured the mom into spilling everything she knows and getting my rightful inheritance, but the author has to drag it out....
He said to mutilate the body and burn it why not start with beheading it and taking it back to show the city and place it as an offering to his family? That's what a great MC would have done....
Lame you change the name of the characters and use the same ole trope how many time are you going to use it? First it was the Langley sisters, then the McCall girl I believe this is the second or third time with Shawna. You need new material author...
Oh my not the weak who the MC showed mercy by not killing him because of some honor bound duty to a dead guy makes a comeback and forces the MC into a corner before the mc finally kills him arc 🤣...
🤣 now this is better just because I took her virginity doesn't mean I'm responsible for her. Love it....
When will he introduce his one eye willy for them to pet, stroke and kiss?...
