“Dustin, I have great news!”
In the morning, Simone went to find Dustin happily.
“The Zimmer family suddenly changed their minds. Felix, Jack’s father, called me and apologized for terminating the contract. They want to work together with us again, and they’re even offering a lower price for their materials!” she said excitedly.
She had been really worried over the past few days.
Dustin had gravely wounded Jack, and she was worried that the Zimmer family would do whatever it took to seek revenge. She had been thinking about how to protect Dustin.
To her surprise, the Zimmer family suddenly called her and apologized. They would also provide more materials to the Langley Group at a much lower price.
Simone was surprised when she heard that.
Jack had been severely injured. Not only did the Zimmer family decide not to hold Dustin accountable, but they also requested to work together again and offered a much lower price for their materials.
Simone was a businesswoman herself, so she knew that the price the Zimmer family offered was so low. that they were going to suffer some losses that way.
Why would they change their minds?
She was certain that it had something to do with Dustin
She felt puzzled. But whenever she asked him about it, he answered her only vaguely. So, she stopped
asking.
“Dustin, you’ve helped me a lot. I really don’t know how to thank you,” Simone said gently. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“The Zimmer family’s decision has nothing to do with me. You’re thanking the wrong person.” Dustin smiled.
“Fine. Even if that has nothing to do with you, I’m still going to thank you,” Simone said. Then, she smiled.” The Zimmer family is our biggest supplier. So long as they’re willing to work with us, we can still deliver our products on time. Once I’m done with this deal, I’ll take you on a trip.”
“I’ll gladly accept the offer, then.” Dustin chuckled.
While the Langley family was happy, the atmosphere in the Wyatt family was grim.
The Wyatt sisters sat in the living room with solemn faces.
Klein’s threat was not an empty one. The Zimmer family had very quickly turned their anger on the Wyatt family.
“The Zimmer family spent twice our initial offer to get our clients, despite the losses they suffered. A few of our important projects have come to a standstill. If those projects fail, we’ll be losing more than one hundred million dollars in damages!” Elisa said with a solemn face.
Ever since she suffered a setback with the Langley farmily, she decided to focus on the family business

and started working at the company. At this moment, she was in charge of the accounting department.
Calculating these figures had given her a headache.
A potential loss of over a hundred million was no small sum.
The others were worried.
“The Zimmer family is throwing money away regardless of the consequences and is doing the same things that we are in every single industry. The prices they offer are lower than ours, and they’ve stolen plenty of clients from us. This is an unfair competition Clara said angrily.
She was an artist and usually did not care about the company’s affairs, but after Amara came back with at heavy heart, she summoned all of them back to the company to work.
“The Zimmer family intends to bring us down even if it means they have to suffer.” Delia sighed.
“Are they crazy? Dustin is the one who hurt Jack, so why are they making us pay for it while he’s out there roaming free? Are they losing their minds?” Elisa was furious.
Amara’s face was dark, but she said nothing.
She still could not entirely figure out what had happened.
How did Dustin manage to get out of the Zimmer family unscathed while she was the one who was kicked out despite her humble visit to their villa?
“Clara, what will happen if we continue fighting against the Zimmer family?” Amara asked Clara.
Clara was a meticulous person and a genius when it came to business. It was a pity that she loved art
more.
Clara sighed and said grimly, “The best–case scenario is both suffer terribly from this and fall together. Then, the other companies in Rivenesco will swallow us up.
