Dustin held his chain while thinking, feeling some uncertainty. Needless to say, Natasha was doing this on purpose. She wanted the power in deciding the fate of Dahlia's company to fall on him.

After thinking it over, Dustin chose not to remove them.
Although they were divorced, their relationship wasn't as bad as to require revenge. Besides, they had been married for three years. One way or another, he genuinely hoped that Dahlia would do well in her life.

"Mr. Rhys, are you sure about your decision?"

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 22:36 | Report Abuse

The manager couldn't help asking because he knew that Natasha wasn't fond of Dahlia.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 22:36 | Report Abuse

"Yes." Dustin nodded.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 22:37 | Report Abuse

"Okay. We'll do as you say"

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 22:37 | Report Abuse

After giving him a polite smile, the manager promptly left with the documents. Deep down, however, his impression of Dustin dropped slightly. To him, this was Dustin's best window of opportunity to gain Ms. Harmon's favor.
Meanwhile, in the front-row seat, the clueless Dahlia and Lyra were still worrying about the matter. Based on their status, they weren't qualified to change the Harmon family's decision.

"Ahem.." Chris suddenly cleared his throat to get their attention before saying, "Dahlia, if you're worrying about the candidate list, I might be able to help."

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:09 | Report Abuse

"Really?" Lyra lit up at once and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Nolan, how can you help us?"

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:09 | Report Abuse

"To be honest, my father has some connections with Old Mr. Harmon. As long as my father makes the request, I believe the Harmon family will do something about it."

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:10 | Report Abuse

"Is that so? That's awesome!" Lyra was filled with excitement as she said, "Mr. Nolan, if you can help us with this, you will be our greatest benefactor!"

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:11 | Report Abuse

"It's not a big deal. I'lI make the call now.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:11 | Report Abuse

Chris laughed heartily, then dialed his father's phone number to briefly explain the situation.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:11 | Report Abuse

"Alright, I got it. I'll talk to Andrew when I have time," Chris' father, David, agreed perfunctorily and hung up the call.
Thinking that he'd solved the problem, Chris started to claim credit and said, "My father has agreed to help. You guys don't have to worry. It'll be over soon.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:13 | Report Abuse

"Great! Mr. Nolan, thanks to you, we can rest assured."
Lyra sighed in relief.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:13 | Report Abuse

"Thank you, Mr. Nolan," added Dahlia.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:13 | Report Abuse

"It's a small matter. Don't worry about it."
Chris pretended to wave his hand generously. Then, he looked toward Dustin with a provocative gaze. Dustin was enjoying his juice, completely ignoring Chris. At this moment, Dahlia received a phone call. Taking out her phone, she realized that it was from the general manager of Harmon Group.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:14 | Report Abuse

"Hello, is this Ms. Nicholson? I have good news for you. The top management has decided
to appoint you as the Harmon family's partner."

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:15 | Report Abuse

"We were chosen?' Dahlia was shocked. She couldn't believe his words. The general manager wasn't talking about her place on the candidate list, but was referring to their appointment as the Harmon family's partner! They'd even skipped the final assessment. What was happening?

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:16 | Report Abuse

"Did you mean what you said?" Dahlia questioned tentatively.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:17 | Report Abuse

"Of course. If you don't believe it, you may come to our office tomorrow to sign the contract. I have other things to attend to, so I'll hang up now." After saying a few words, the general manager ended the call.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:17 | Report Abuse

Dahlia on the other end was feeling both astonished and delighted. Never had she expected things to go so smoothly.
A few moments ago, the Jackson Group was just about to get removed from the candidate list but in the blink of an eye, they had become the Harmon family's partner. Everything was happening too abruptly.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:18 | Report Abuse

Of course, it must've been due to Chris' help that she was able to make it this far. The Nolan family's influence was surprisingly impactful. Only a phone call was needed to change the Harmon family's mind.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:18 | Report Abuse

"Ms. Nicholson, what happened? Did the Harmon family change their mind?" Lyra asked.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:19 | Report Abuse

"Yes." Dahlia nodded and flashed a rare smile. "The general manager of Harmon Group called me just now and said I'm chosen to become their partner!"

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:19 | Report Abuse

Lyra cheered. "Oh my god! I knew you could do it!"
"It's all thanks to Mr. Nolan. This wouldn't have happened without his help," Dahlia said gratefully.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:20 | Report Abuse

"That's right! Mr. Nolan is indeed the greatest. He solved our problem with just a few words!" praised Lyra.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:21 | Report Abuse

"You're exaggerating. It was my father who did the favor," Chris replied with a smile. Although his words sounded humble, the smugness on his face was unconcealable. In fact, he was also somewhat surprised by the news. Since when did his father work so efficiently?

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:22 | Report Abuse

"Dustin, did you see that? This is the difference between you and Mr. Nolan. Lyra turned to look at Dustin and remarked mockingly. "Mr. Nolan can easily secure us the position as the Harmon family's partner with a word. What can you do?"

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:22 | Report Abuse

"Don't say that. At least, he's good at sucking up to people;
Chris added with a chuckle.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:23 | Report Abuse

"Hmph, what else can he do? He's an absolute good-for-nothing. When Dustin didn't retort, Lyra's arrogance was boosted and she continued, "It's a pity that the bitcxh isn't here to see how useless the man she chose is."

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:23 | Report Abuse

"Are you done talking? Move out of the way if you are, don't block my view," Dustin uttered indifferently.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:24 | Report Abuse

"Why? You can't stand it when we said only a few words? If you have half of Mr. Nolan's capabilities, would you be afraid of others calling you out? You're hopeless." Lyra sneered.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-24 23:24 | Report Abuse

"Oh? Then, tell me, what is Chris capable of?" Dustin's expression became solemn. He might prefer to be low-key, but he wouldn't tolerate anyone who insulted him. He wasn't a saint, after all.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 01:48 | Report Abuse

"Mr. Nolan made us the partner of the Harmon family through a simple phone call. If this isn't capability, I don't know what is," Lyra answered while staring down at Dustin condescendingly.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 01:49 | Report Abuse

"How are you so sure that it was him? What proof do you have?" Dustin countered.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 01:50 | Report Abuse

"Who else if not Mr. Nolan? It's definitely not you. I mean, look at your terrible attitude!" Lyra snorted coldly.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 06:01 | Report Abuse

"Hey, Rhys, what makes you think that the Harmon family would suddenly change their mind if it wasn't because of me?" Chris asked haughtily.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 06:03 | Report Abuse

"That's right. The truth is right in front of you. Why can't you just admit it?" Lyra echoed.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 06:03 | Report Abuse

"Don't get too conceited. If I were you, I would go and confirm the truth myself before thanking the wrong person," Dustin said, expressionless.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 06:04 | Report Abuse

"From what I see, you're just jealous of others because of your incompetence, scolded Lyra.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 06:05 | Report Abuse

"Whatever floats your boat." Dustin shrugged it off.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 06:06 | Report Abuse

"Rhys, you wanted proof, right? Fine, I'll give it to you!" Chris sneered as he pulled out his phone to call David again, "Hey Dad."

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 06:07 | Report Abuse

"What is it this time?" David sounded annoyed over the phone.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 06:07 | Report Abuse

"Nothing. I just wanted to know how did your talk with Old Mr. Harmon go."

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 06:07 | Report Abuse

"What talk? I'm still in a middle of a meeting. I don't have the time to help you with your nonsense. Don't ever bother me over stuff like this again!"

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 06:08 | Report Abuse

"What?" Chris was caught off guard when his father hung up the phone angrily. The smile on his face had stiffened.
Instantly, his intention to boast about his capability was shattered. If his father didn't help him, then who did? Could it be a coincidence?

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 06:08 | Report Abuse

"Mr. Nolan, what did your father say? Let's hear it, Dustin said with a fake smile. As he was seated right behind Chris, his keen ears could pick up everything David had said on the phone. He didn't even need to listen to their conversation to know what was going on. Chris' stupefied expression was self-explanatory.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 06:09 | Report Abuse

"Mr. Nolan, don't hesitate to tell us. We should let this bastarxd understand that he could never compete with you!" Lyra prompted.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-25 06:10 | Report Abuse

Meanwhile, Chris' eye twitched. He pretended to be calm and replied with a dismissive smile, "What's there to tell you about? My father has confirmed that he made a request to the Harmon family and helped us big time. Otherwise, Dahlia wouldn't have qualified to be their partner!"
