"The daily sales revenue is something many domestic jewelry brands can't achieve! And it's still in the new product stage!" Robert looked at the newspaper, his face extremely unpleasant.
"Robert, if I were you, I'd be regretting it big time now," Tanya sneered. "For Patrina and Gianna, you betrayed Julie and neglected Bri. Now, the Dustin family is on the verge of bankruptcy, and you better get ready to wander the streets!"
"Let's go," Tanya said disdainfully and turned to leave.
Robert stared at the newspaper, clenching his fists tightly in frustration. How could he have lost Brittany?
Back at the Dustin family, Patrina was still resisting the idea of getting married, and Gianna looked exhausted these days. When she saw Robert returning, she approached him.
"Honey, you—"
But she was stopped.
Robert raised his hand and slapped Gianna hard with all his strength. "It's all because of you! You made me marry Bri off and drove her away. Now Bri is gone, and the Dustin family is bankrupt. Do you still have the nerve to show up?"
It was all Gianna's fault, yes, all her fault! Robert wished he could strangle her. Brittany was so important to him, how could he have pushed her into the abyss?
"I'm telling you, Patrina must get married. If she refuses, all of you can get lost!"
Robert spat out these words and stormed off. He needed to find Brittany and apologize sincerely. He would make things right if only Brittany would come back!
Gianna was stunned, getting slapped by Robert for the first time in their more than twenty years of being together, and all because of Brittany!
Gianna knew he was going to find Brittany but couldn't say anything. Her hands clenched tightly, and her eyes turned red.
...
"Brittany, we did it! It's a real success!"
Kari saw the sales figures climbing, and she was ecstatic. She screamed with joy and then burst into tears, covering her face.
From the difficult beginning to this point, only they knew how many hardships they had gone through.
Brittany found it ironic; why did he choose to appear at this moment?
"Robert, we've cut ties."
Brittany knew that Robert only wanted to use her to save the Dustin family, but she wasn't the easily deceived person she was three years ago. She wouldn't agree to his request anymore.
"Brittany, we're still family. As long as you come back, I'll transfer all the shares your mother left to you, and I'll give you half of the Dustin family's shares. After all, I'm your father, and I won't harm you."
Robert tried to persuade Brittany with shares, but he forgot that the Dustin family had nothing left now.
"Robert," Brittany replied coldly, "I can get the shares of the Dustin family without going back."
In fact, she was planning to acquire all the shares of the Dustin family and wipe them out completely.
Robert's face turned pale. "Brittany, what else do you want me to do? Do you want me to beg you?"
