My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

“Alex, I'm putting you in charge of the Mayhill development project. Make sure you handle it well."

Zack publicly announced that Alex would be in charge of the big project. It was no surprise, as Alex was his favorite grandson.

“Got it, Grandpa. Don't worry, I'll do it right and won't let you down!" Alex patted his chest and promised. He was thrilled.

He did not expect Dustin's hard work to end up benefiting him. It was a huge surprise.

The more he saw Dustin's angry face, the happier he felt.

The Yeager family members watched Dustin with cold eyes and gloated.noveldrama

Alex was happy and looked at Dustin with mockery.

"This isn't fair!" Patricia yelled. "Why should Alex take the credit for a deal Dustin made? Aren't you ashamed of yourselves?"

"Enough!" Zack shouted.

"Patricia, know your place! How dare you speak like that to your elders?" someone yelled at her.

"Patricia, the Yeager family has done a lot for you and your mom over the years. You should be more respectful. Why make trouble over an outsider?" Evan said as he tried to reason with her.

Dustin quickly stood up, turned, and walked out.

Patricia hesitated for a moment but then followed him.

"Hmph, no manners." Zack coldly watched them leave.

"A useless person like Dustin is an outsider, no matter what. He thinks he can get involved with our family's businesses? What a joke!"

"It's better if that loser leaves sooner than later. He's just in the way."

The rest of the Yeager family members stayed silent and exchanged cold looks.

No one cared about Dustin anyway, and it made them feel better.

"Working with the Swansong Group is a huge honor. We need to make sure we take full advantage of this opportunity. This is our chance to rise!" Zack said with a smile.

The Yeager family members all looked hopeful. They imagined a bright future ahead.

"Once this project succeeds, the Yeager family will move up and be recognized as a second-rate family in Hattan!"

Everyone was filled with hopeful thoughts and immersed in the joy of success.

Outside the villa, Patricia ran after Dustin.

"Dustin, I'm sorry. It's because of me that you've been treated badly," she said guiltily.

"I don't want you to be involved anymore. I don't want you to face their humiliation and unfairness."

Dustin smiled softly.

"Don't worry. They won't be able to humiliate me," he said calmly.

"As for the project with the Swansong Group, Alex won't necessarily have a good outcome tomorrow. Just wait and see."

Patricia was stunned.

Why was Dustin so confident?

Did he already have a plan?

...

Back at Mayhill Pig Farm, Dustin looked at the peony flowers on the mountain and sneered.

'You all think you got lucky, but you don't know I gave this to you.'

He packed his things and got ready to head home.

But as he started walking down the mountain, a car blocked his path.

Alex happily got out of the car and looked at Dustin with a mocking face.

"Dustin, you're not feeling too great now, huh?" Alex said smugly.

He was here to mock Dustin. It was something he loved to do.

This time, he learned his lesson and kept his distance. He did not want to get hit again.

"You thought your good luck would help you succeed, but in the end, you helped me," Alex said with a grin. "Grandpa let me take charge of the project I don't have to do much. Just sign the contract, and at the credit will be mine. Aren't you mad?

"How do you feel? Upset? Angry? Too bad! That's how it works. No matter how hard you try, no one will recognize it. It's all wasted effort. Meanwhile, I get the results Without doing anything. It feels so good."

Alex kept mocking Dustin and hoped to see him angry.

"Stop blocking my way," Dustin said calmly and tried to walk past.

Alex's face turned cold, and he shouted, "Dustin!

"Last time, you slapped me and threw me into the pig pen. I haven't forgotten that.

"I always get revenge. Just wait. I'll make sure you regret it!"

Dustin smiled. "You really think you've won?"

"What a joke! Grandpa put me in charge. I'm signing the contract first thing in the

morning. If that's not winning, what is?

"This deal will make the Yeager family even stronger, and I'll get all the credit. The gap between us will only get bigger. When that happens, I can deal with you however I want.

"Working with the Swansong Group is something many families can only dream

of. But I'm the one leading the deal. This is my moment.

"I should thank you for handing me this opportunity. Honestly, I almost feel bad for

you."

Watching Alex lose himself in his ego, Dustin sneered.

"Well, good luck tomorrow," he said. He then walked past Alex and headed down the mountain.

"Hmph! Still pretending to be calm." Alex sneered.

"Once I succeed, let's see how long you can keep up the act when you're begging at my feet."

Dustin did not look back and kept walking down Mayhill.

"Zack, Alex, enjoy your moment. Let's see if you're still smiling tomorrow," Dustin muttered coldly as his gaze turned gloomy.
