No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 184

Dustin seemed to understand the situation well enough, casting a look at Ernest before speaking, “Mr. Collins can handle this. He won’t let personal issues affect his work. And as for today, our security failed to prevent unauthorized entry, so it’s not all on Mr. Collins.”

Conrad’s face turned beet red, clearly not expecting Dustin to defend Ernest and undermine his authority as CEO in such a way.

“Mr. Wagner, I’m in charge of the amusement park now. Let me handle things here,” Dustin’s words were a direct challenge to Conrad’s authority.

That nearly made steam come out of Conrad’s ears. Only because it was Dustin, his own brother, did he refrain from throwing him out on the spot.

“Fine, if anything like this happens again, you and he will both be held responsible,” Conrad spat out furiously before storming off.

I breathed a sigh of relief as he left.

Dustin then turned to Ernest. “Draft a report on this incident. As for the damaged equipment, I’ll have it repaired, but the cost will be on you or your company.”

His words were a clear separation of professional and personal matters, quite magnanimous.

Ernest, not lacking in responsibility, simply responded with a firm “Okay.”

Dustin nodded slightly and walked away, not looking at me, but I knew if it weren’t for my sake, he wouldn’t have sided with Ernest.

His direct yet restrained affection for me, even to the point of standing against Conrad, filled me with both guilt and gratitude, feelings I could hardly repay.

With the situation resolved, I saw no reason to stay and glanced at Ernest before leaving.

But as soon as I drove out of the amusement park, Conrad’s car blocked mine. He got out, opened my door, and sat down, “Drive.”

I was unsure of his intentions. “Mr. Wagner, if you have something to say, please do. I need to get to work soon.”
