My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

"You've been in Hattan long enough. It's time to go back to Central Harbor and claim what's yours," Otto said.

"What if I don't want to go back?" Dustin asked coldly.

"Please take this call first." Otto pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and handed it to Dustin.

Dustin frowned.

"Hello?" he said cautiously.noveldrama

"Dustin," a woman said from the other end.

Dustin's face instantly darkened.

He recognized the voice right away.

It was the woman who, after the patriarch of the Fawkes family died, immediately turned on him and kicked him out of the family.

She was Russell's wife and the matriarch of the Fawkes family!

"Dustin, you should come back," Marissa said.

Dustin sneered.

"So, it's you. What's this? You couldn't wait to kick me out of Central Harbor, and now you want me back?"

Surprisingly, Marissa did not get angry.

"You may not be a Fawkes by blood, but the will is clear. You have a rightful share. It belongs to you, and it's time for you to claim it." Her voice was calm and emotionless.

"And you're really willing to give it to me?" Dustin asked.

"As long as you come back and sign the papers, I promise there won't be any issues. What's yours will stay yours."

Dustin did not believe her for a second.

Still, it was surprising to hear Marissa lower herself and ask him to return.

She had always hated and looked down on Dustin. She acted like she was better than him.

In the past, she would not have even spoken to him.

It was really surprising that Marissa was willing to humble herself.

"Think it over. It's a fair deal for both of us," Marissa added.

Dustin chuckled.

"Fine. I'll drop by when I have time."

"Good. Come as soon as possible." Marissa hung up.

Otto took back his phone and said, "I hope you'll keep your word and leave soon."

"Yeah, yeah, I got it. Now, get lost." Dustin waved him off.

Otto gave a slight bow before turning to leave.

A few steps away, his face darkened. His expression twisted in anger, and his

eyes burned with a terrifying murderous intent.

"What did you two talk about?" Simone asked as she got out of the car.

"I'm planning to visit the Fawkes family soon," Dustin said.

Simone was stunned.

"Why? Do you think you can fight them?" Simone frowned.

Simone shivered slightly.

She had never heard Dustin talk about his past in Central Harbor.

She could only imagine the deep grudges and painful memories tied to it.

After thinking it over, she made a decision.

"If you're going, I'm going with you," she said as she gritted her teeth. Dustin looked at her and smiled warmly.
