My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

Dustin observed what was going on at the front desk on the security feed on his screen.

Adrian arrived at the front desk.

"Mr. Pierce, you're here." The receptionist nodded at Adrian, and Adrian nodded back.

Crispin and the driver, Nicholas Olson, assessed Adrian.

"What a self-important person the general manager of Duscia Corporation is! How dare you make Mr. Tonra wait downstairs?" Nicholas asked in displeasure.

Adrian did not spare the driver a single glance. He could not be bothered to speak with an insignificant staff member.

If Dustin had not given him the orders, he would have chased these two out already.

"You're the general manager of Duscia Corporation, Adrian Pierce, yes?" Crispin looked at Adrian contemptuously.

"I've never heard of the Pierce family having a person with your name. You're quite capable of fooling the families of Hattan so easily with the same last name." Thinking that he had dirt on Adrian, Crispin smiled very tauntingly.

"What are you here for?" Adrian asked with a smile. He did not bother to answer Crispin directly.

Crispin scoffed. He thought that Adrian was faking his calmness and that he had to be panicking internally.

"I don't care if you're a member of the Pierce family. I'm here today to talk to you about business," Crispin said. "You're in charge of this company, right? You can make the decisions."

"I am only the general manager and handling the company's matters for someone else," Adrian said. "Decisions are made by our CEO."

"Oh, you have a CEO?" Crispin was surprised by this. He had not heard anything about it.

“So, you're just a pawn, then. I was wrong."

Adrian's gaze was icy. He was losing his patience and did not want to talk to Crispin any longer.

Back in Summerdale, anyone who dared to speak to him in this way would be flat on the ground already.

"Since you're not in charge, I won't waste my breath. Get your CEO to come down here to see me. I want to talk to him," Crispin said casually.

Adrian felt very displeased at that.

"Our CEO is your "

Before he could finish speaking, Adrian's phone rang. He answered it.

"Bring them upstairs," came Dustin's voice.

"Come with me," Adrian said flatly. He then turned and headed to the elevators.

"Sir, the CEO of this company is really arrogant. He's making you go up to see him instead of the other way around," Nichols said softly.

"He's from a backwater. It's not surprising that he doesn't know who I am." Crispin smirked. "I want to see what kind of person this CEO is."

Two minutes later, Adrian led Crispin and Nicholas into the CEO's office.

"You're the CEO of Duscia

Corporation? I thought you'd be

some old fart." Crispin looked surprised when he saw Dustin. Then, he casually lounged on the office's couch and crossed his legs. He looked very laid back.

Dustin looked at him indifferently.

"Why are you here?" Dustin asked calmly.

Before Crispin could even reply, Nicholas was at his wit's end.

"Be more respectful, young man! It's rude enough that you didn't welcome Mr.

Tonra downstairs. You should be more polite. Don't anger Mr. Tonra.

"This is Crispin Tonra, of the Articora Tonra family! You can't afford to offend him!"

Dustin swept a look at Nicholas but did not say anything.

"Who do you think you are to cause a fuss here?" Adrian was outraged. "You're just an employee. How dare you throw a fit when your boss hasn't even said anything?

"How dare you?! I'm a part of the family! Are you going to attack me or something?" Nicholas was arrogant. He used his employer's influence to make a

scene.

Adrian sneered.

He had always hated this kind of person. Nicholas acted like he was powerful just because of his employer's status.

If Crispin and Nicholas found out just how much more powerful Dustin was, they would probably be so scared that they would wet themselves.

"Hm? Nicolas, we're in public. We should be low-key and try not to get into fights with everyone. We're here to do business," Crispin said with a smile.

It was only after this that Nicholas shut up. However, the looks he shot at Dustin and Crispin were still very threatening.noveldrama

"What's your name, Mr. CEO?" Crispin looked at Dustin.

"Dustin Fox."

"Mr. Fox, I am the only son and heir of the Tonra family," Crispin checked his nails as he said carelessly. "To be honest, the Tonra family is interested in doing business in Hattan. There's a lot to develop here. It's just missing some real talent.

However, I've arrived."
