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 with 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

scratching their heads at the reason behind his abrupt change.
“Mr. Suzman, that wasn’t necessary. Let’s talk business.” Dustin went straight to the point.
“Right, rightCole nodded furiously and plastered a smile on his face. “Ladies 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 attentive,
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 hand, 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 exchanges, the staff from Brooks Corporation merely asked for her signature on that 500
million deal. In fact, it was so ridiculous that she would question 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 day 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 treated Big Bucks Brooks‘ illness

Roderick Brooks had returned the favor to Dustin, and common sense dictated 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 lightened 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 any. 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!”
