Dustin exchanged pleasantries with the guests for a while before returning to Patricia’s side.
“You lied to me again.” Patricia pouted and pinched him.
“Ow! How can you be so ruthless?” Dustin pulled a dramatic face and acted like he was in pain.
“Hmph!” Patricia huffed. “You said we’d just bring something from an antique shop as a gift. Where did that bead come from? Did you really spend 80 million on it?”
“80 million was necessary. Since they paid 150 million for it, I couldn’t go too low, right?” Dustin said.
If anyone else had heard that, they would have been apoplectic.
Was he listening to himself?
It was sold for 150 million, and he got it for 80 million. Was he still not satisfied?
Moreover, the bead was actually worth more than 150 million. It was priced that way only because other elite families had done Stanley a massive favor.
“You’re going to bankrupt yourself. Half of your grandfather’s inheritance is nearly gone. What will you do next?” Patricia pouted.
Dustin had told her about the large inheritance that was left for him by the Fox family.
But she was not really angry with him for spending money this time.
The bead was for Terry.
If the rumors were true, and it held the miraculous effects that people claimed, it would be worth every penny.
“You said my great-grandfather would wake up within an hour. Why hasn’t there been any sign?” she asked nervously as she looked at the still-motionless Terry.
He was practically no different from a vegetable.
“Maybe his body is too weak, and his blood circulation is blocked,” Dustin said after a moment of thought.
“Nothing serious, though. I just need to give him a light tap.”
If he acted recklessly, the Yeager family would not let him near Terry.
The two whispered for a moment before Patricia approached Zack.
“Grandfather, may I speak to my great-grandfather for a moment?” she pleaded.
Zack glanced at her and then at the curious onlookers.
Patricia was family, and it was only natural for her to want to talk to her great-grandfather.

The readers' comments on the novel: My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness
Does novel ended already? No new episode came this month...
Is the story not coming in again. It's been days now and no new chapter...
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 🤣...
