"Take this guy-and the one on the ground and get them both to the police station." The portly man stood there, stunned, as if his brain couldn't process what was happening. In disbelief, he stammered, "Mr. Wade... what do you mean? You're actually sending us to the police? Why are you doing this to me?" Dustin couldn't hide his amusement at the man's desperate expression. He dragged out each word like it was a slow burn. "I trusted you with the land project, but instead, you embezzled the funds I set aside for the orphanage. And as if that wasn't bad enough, you used my nto run illegal schemes, dragging my family's reputation through the dirt." His gaze turned ice-cold as he locked eyes with the portly man. "You really thought I was that gullible? That I'd let you two idiots playfor a fool?" Before either the portly man or the scar-faced one could stammer a response, Dustin waved them off with a dismissive flick of his hand.

I see it now-this is a plot by the Riley family! They're trying to bring your family down. You have to believe me!" Dustin chuckled lightly, his tone calm and unhurried. "The Riley family isn't exactly innocent in all this, but this? This was Collin's idea. And of course, I'm cooperating with him." The portly man froze, stunned.

But it was too late for regrets.

"It's done. Are you satisfied now?" Dustin said, his tone light, almost cheerful.
The entire mess had been a result of his own negligence-giving his subordinates just enough rope to hang themselves.
