My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

At the family dinner, the Langley family completely focused on Dustin.

Everyone was careful around him and tried to win his favor by complimenting him. Simone did not enjoy the meal.

She wondered what would happen when Dustin's true identity was revealed.

When that happened, Dustin would face pressure from both the Fawkes and Langley families.

The more Dustin was praised, the more Simone felt worried.

She was afraid that, when the time came, she might not be able to help him.

After dinner, Alvern and the rest of the family personally saw Dustin and Simone out. They only went back inside after they had left.

While driving home, Simone suddenly asked, "What will you do in the future?"

"What?" Dustin asked in confusion.

"You're the adopted son of the Fawkes family. What will happen if that gets exposed?

"You've made enemies with so many people and upset powerful families all over the province. Without the Fawkes family's protection, how will you survive?" Simone was worried.

She knew that without the Fawkes family backing him, no one would be afraid of Dustin.

He had offended so many powerful families in the bar. How could he survive the disaster that was coming?

"Don't worry. Even without the Fawkes family, no one can hurt me," Dustin said with a smile.

Simone shook her head in resignation.

She did not understand how Dustin could be so optimistic.

Did he not see how serious things were?

"What if I'm not around? Who will support you then?" Simone whispered sadly.

"What did you say?" Dustin did not hear her clearly.

"Nothing. Just make sure you take care of yourself."

The car was quiet after that.

After a while, they arrived at their neighborhood.

When turning in, Simone suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Someone was standing in the middle of the road.

The headlights lit up the person, and Dustin realized it was Otto.

Dustin rolled down the window and said coldly, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Otto looked angry, but he could not show it.

"Dustin, go meet him," Simone said. She did not want Dustin to make more enemies.

Dustin got out of the car and walked over to Otto.

"Mr. Forbes, what do you want?"

Otto took a deep breath to calm down.

"Mr. Fox, you sure made a big scene at the bar," Otto said with a fake smile.

Dustin raised an eyebrow.noveldrama

"It wasn't too bad. I have you to thank for that."

Otto froze for a moment and got even angrier.

He was not afraid, but it still bothered him.

"Mr. Fox, I hope you'll follow the family rules from now on. This kind of behavior can harm the Fawkes family's reputation," Otto said unhappily. Swnovel

Otto's face darkened.

He wanted to slap Dustin but could not do so.

Otto's face showed a mix of anger and frustration. He was clearly upset, but he

did not act on it.

After a moment, he calmed down.

"You're right. I shouldn't have interfered," Otto said and bowed.

Dustin was surprised.

Otto had changed his attitude.

He managed to stay calm and acted humbly.

It was clear that the Fawkes family could not wait anymore and had put pressure

on Otto.
