Chapter 372

Dahlia frowned, for it wasn't a small amount. In the whole of Swinton, th

ere were only a few individuals who had one billion in liquid assets to w

ithdraw from.

"Of course, if you're unable to secure the investment funds needed, pleas

e step aside and make way for someone more deserving. We don't want you h

indering the company's development." Gloria sneered.

In truth, she was the one who set the conditions for a one billion invest

ment fund, not the family patriarch. She didn't wish for an outsider to h

old that much authority. That was why she came

up with the idea to make her step aside on her own accord. She would also

be able to give a good explanation when questioned by the family patriar

ch.

"Why are you silent? Don't tell me you can't even manage such a small mat

ter?" She taunted on purpose.

"Hmph! If you can't do it. I'll take on the role of chairman instead." Da

kota raised her head arrogantly. With her connections and Gloria's help,

one billion wouldn't be hard to secure.

Dustin suddenly spoke, "Who said she couldn't manage? It's only one billi

on. We'll get it done in three days!"

"Three days? Are you crazy?" Florence almost jumped out of her skin. "How

on earth will we secure one billion in three days? That's a huge amount!

Thirty days would be more reasonable!" Dahlia's brows knitted. "Dustin,

where would I get one billion in just three days?" Securing one billion a

lready posed a challenge, but now, she had to secure it within three days

. It was practically impossible.

"Not to worry. Leave it to me. I'll make sure to get it done." Dustin smi

led assuringly.

"Alright. You're the one who promised. I'm giving you exactly three days.

" Gloria's eyes sparkled, and she sneered. "If you can't do it within thr

ee days. All of you will get the fuck out of this family! "With

that, she left with the aid of her cane, not allowing them any space for

a rebuttal.

"Hah, what a joke! One

billion in three days? Don't be naive, you're not that rich!" After mocki

ng them, Dakota and Jane followed Gloria.

It was impossible for both of them to achieve such a feat, not to mention

Dahlia. They believed Dustin was only trying to show off and said so in

a moment of indignance. However, that just made him appear childish to th

em.

After they left, Florence burst out in anger, "Rhys! What makes you think

you can just agree to their conditions on your own? Do you know that onc

e we fail, Dahlia will lose her position as chairman of Cardinal Group? A

re you bringing us down on purpose?"

Dustin explained, "If we didn't agree, Dahlia's position as chairman woul

d be threatened either way."

"Hah! Easy for you to say. Even if money fell from the sky, we wouldn't b

e able to secure one billion in three days!" Florence exclaimed in frustr

ation.

Dustin responded calmly, "Since I agreed, naturally, that means I'm confi

dent. Just leave it to me."

"Leave it to you? Who do you think you are? You just own a shabby

medical center. Do you really think you're someone of

high status?" Florence admonished him.

"Hah! If you do manage to accomplish the feat, I'll get on my knees and k

iss your feet!" James looked at him in contempt.

"Great, that's a deal." Dustin flashed a smile.
