Chapter 510

Right after that, they

heard a click as the door to the manager's office flung open. Then, Cole

ran out in a great

hurry and almost stumbled over.

"Who's Dustin Rhys? Is there a Mr. Rhys here?" He searched high and low w

ith an anxious look.

"That's me." Dustin took a few steps forward.

"Mr. Rhys, I'm so sorry for not recognizing you

just now. I didn't properly greet and receive you and your

guests. Please forgive me." Cole jogged up, his previous arrogance wiped

off as he bowed deeply at Dustin.

His respectful demeanor came as a surprise for Julie and Dahlia. A while

ago, Cole was acting all righteous and refused to show Terrence leniency.

Why did he suddenly grovel at Dustin? They were left scratching their he

ads at the reason behind his abrupt change.

"Mr. Suzman, that wasn't necessary. Let's talk business." Dustin went str

aight to the point.

"Right, rightCole nodded furiously and plastered a smile on his face. "La

dies and gentlemen, this way. please."

"Ladies first." Beaming, Dustin led a confused–

looking Dahlia into the manager's office. Cole immediately served tea and

ordered his secretary to print out the contract. He was extremely attent

ive, as he was told they were VIP guests of Mr. Brooks. Ten minutes later

, they had a deal following a smooth discussion.

When Dahlia wandered out of the office with the signed contract in her ha

nd, she felt like she was deep in a daze. Never in her wildest dreams had

she expected the deal to proceed this smoothly. Without unnecessary exch

anges, the staff from Brooks Corporation merely asked for her signature o

n that 500 million deal. In fact, it was so ridiculous that she would que

stion the veracity of the process if she had not witnessed it.

"Dustin, how did you pull that off?" Dahlia glanced at the hero of the da

y with a bewildered expression.

"I told you I am acquainted with Roderick Brooks, and he'd probably do me

a favor," Dustin was cool about it.

"A–

and how did you get to know him?" Julle blurted out. It was unbelievable

that Dustin would be acquainted with Roderick Brooks.

"I treated his illness, which I mentioned to you yesterday, but you didn'

t believe me." He shrugged.

"You treated him? That's some dumb luck!" Julie shot him a funny look.

"That's why you shouldn't look down on people." Dustin casually reminded

her.

"What's so great about that?" Julie rolled her eyes in disdain. "You trea

ted Big Bucks Brooks' illness thanks to some dumb luck! Sure, he repaid y

our help by doing you a favor, but it won't be easy to ask him for help t

he second time!"

Roderick Brooks had returned the favor to Dustin, and common sense dictat

ed that it wouldn't be appropriate to keep asking for favors after that.

Dustin might have played the hero on that day, but that might

not happen again the next time.

"No matter what, we have to thank Dustin for his help today." A smile lig

htened Dahlia's face. 'Tell me your

wish, and I'll try my best to fulfill it."

"My wish?" That suggestion caught him off guard. "I haven't thought of an

y. I'll let you know when something pops up."

"Sure. I owe you one." She chuckled.

While they were chatting. Dustin's phone started ringing. When he picked

up, he heard Natasha's voice from

the other end. "Dustin! This is bad! Our family's in trouble!"
