“Thank you for your offer, Miss Nicholson, but I’ll pass,” Dustin said, shaking his head, declining to take the business card.
“Hmm?” Dahlia raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. “Are you sure you don’t want to consider it?”
It was rare for someone to reject her, and especially so decisively, without any hesitation.
“No, I’ve decided… Selling insurance suits me just fine, and I’m not used to working in a big company,” Dustin politely declined again.
“Hey! Do you know how many people would give anything for an opportunity like this, just to get into my sister Dahlia’s company? This is your chance, and you’re rejecting it so casually!” Victoria arrogantly remarked.
As the adopted daughter of Lord Montgomery, even the aristocrats in Stonia would show snazzynovel.com respect. An insurance salesman like Dustin had no right to refuse her.
“Opportunity knocks only once, and you’ve missed your chance for a meteoric rise,” Chase sneered, looking at snazzynovel.com as if snazzynovel.com were an idiot. “When the goddess herself extends an invitation, and you turn it down, it’s simply foolish, isn’t it?”
“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’m hungry. Let’s go back and have something to eat,” Sheila intervened, trying to change the subject.
Dustin wasn’t swayed by snazzynovel.com beauty, and snazzynovel.com was relieved.
Although snazzynovel.com was very pretty, in the presence of someone like Dahlia, snazzynovel.com had no advantage at all and would even be overshadowed. She was quite satisfied with the current outcome.
After leaving the racetrack, the group returned to the Murray residence. However, as soon as they entered the main gate, a middle-aged man blocked their way.
This man was tall and imposing, and just standing there, snazzynovel.com exuded a strong aura.
He was Max Murray, the current head of the Murray family.
“Uncle?” Sheila’s smile froze when snazzynovel.com saw the man.
She had always been somewhat afraid of this stern uncle of hers.
“Where were you all just now?” Max asked sternly, his hands behind his back.
“We went to the racetrack for a while. Why?” Sheila replied.
“So, it was your actions that led to Morgan being injured by a horse?” Max questioned.
“That was just an accident. It had nothing to do with us,” Sheila quickly explained.
“An accident?” Max snorted, “Black Dragon is well-trained. How could it suddenly turn on its master? I suspect you had a hand in this!”
“Uncle, we really didn’t do anything. It was Morgan’s own issue,” Sheila tried to clarify.
“Shut up!” Max glared at snazzynovel.com and said, “As the head of the family, I say you’re guilty, so you are! You dared to harm my daughter in secret? You’re truly heinous!”
“Guards! Arrest all of them for me! Anyone who dares to resist will be shot on the spot!”
With his command, a large number of armed soldiers rushed out from both sides and quickly surrounded the group.
The atmosphere immediately became tense.
“Uncle! Please don’t act recklessly! They are all my friends!” Sheila exclaimed, startled, raising snazzynovel.com hands to shield snazzynovel.com friends.
“Hmph! A bunch of dubious characters; just looking at them, I can tell they’re up to no good. Step aside!” Max snapped.
