My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

"You... you...

Waylon pointed at the two of them, but he dared not curse again under Dustin's glare.

"Waylon, what do you want? Just say it!" Shawna said coldly.

Waylon's face changed drastically.

"I came here to inform you that..." He suddenly sneered as if he was happy about her misfortune. "You and your mother, Shawna. You must show up at the Riley family villa before 5 p.m. today. "Today, the Finn family will arrive with extravagant gifts to propose marriage.

"The family patriarch says that if you two don't show up, you'll lose everything you have now!"

When Waylon said that, Shawna's face darkened.

"Marriage?" Dustin frowned.

How cliche!

Another family that was forcing an old-fashioned arranged marriage yet again.

Then again, with Shawna's stunning beauty, it was not surprising for her to be caught in the web of arranged marriages tied to family interests.

'Since Shawna took good care of Mrs. Swift, I should return the favor. I can't let the Riley family manipulate her and cut her happiness short,' Dustin secretly thought.

"You didn't even ask about our opinion. It's insane that you just went ahead and arranged the marriage!" Shawna said angrily.

"Haha... all these years, you both have lived a good life in the Riley family, haven't you?" Waylon sneered even more. "Why do you think the Riley family let you manage Creative Arts Corporation when you're an illegitimate child? Because of your supposed talent? "Let me tell you honestly. If your mother hadn't begged the family patriarch, both of you would've been kicked out of the family long ago!"

Shawna's face turned pale in shock.

She did not even know that her mother had begged the family patriarch.

"Everything comes with conditions, doesn't it?" Shawna asked softly.

"Of course!" Waylon's smirk became more pronounced.

"Your mother already agreed to it. It's not up to you to decide anymore. Come early in the afternoon.

"You'd better behave. If the marriage falls through, the family won't spare you!"

After Waylon said that, he glanced fiercely at Dustin, turned around, and got back into the car.

He clearly held a grudge against Dustin. When he had the chance, he would definitely seek revenge.

Shawna watched Waylon drive away. She seemed to have lost all her strength. She sat on a chair in a daze in the security booth. She did not talk for a long time, and her eyebrows furrowed.

"Miss Welch, if you need my help, just tell me. I won't refuse if I can do something about it," Dustin said seriously.

Shawna looked at him. She recalled the way he had crushed Waylon moments ago. Her eyes lit up with hope. "Dustin, you know martial arts?"

"I've learned a little. I'm quite good at it."

"So... how many people can you fight at a time?" Shawna asked expectantly.

Dustin chuckled.

How many could he fight?

She should ask him how many people there were in Grayvale who could withstand at least three blows from him.

"Miss Welch, rest assured. Common people are no match for me," he said.

"Alright. Please come with me to the Riley family villa this afternoon," she said. She had made up her mind.

"No matter what, even if I have to give up everything, I won't let them succeed!"

Dustin smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry. I won't let the Finn family take you away. I hate bullies, so I'll take care of it."

Unexpectedly, Shawna suddenly looked at Dustin strangely.

"Who says I'm the one getting married?"

Dustin was stunned.

"If it's not you, then..."

"The Finn family wants to arrange a marriage with my mother!"

"What?!"

Dustin's face froze.

What kind of nonsense was this?

Logically, with Shawna's beauty, it would make sense for the Finn family to want to arrange a marriage with her.

Who would have thought that the person they wanted was her mother?

Her mother should be around fifty years old. Why would the Finn family make such an effort to arrange a marriage with her? What did they want from the whole thing? Dustin was speechless.

It was only after a while that he snapped out of his daze.

"Miss Welch, what's going on?" Dustin asked seriously.

Shawna sighed.

"When my mother was young, she used to be beautiful and famous in Grayvale. She had a good life, but she fell for a foreigner whose background was unknown...

"Their relationship was not

acknowledged by the Riley family.

My mother had a falling out with the family on many occasions for that... man. She was nearly kicked out of the family...

"My mother was willing to sacrifice everything for him, but that

unfaithful jerk abandoned my

pregnan mother and left. There was no news about him all these years, and my mother suffered

LOVE

humiliation!" Shawna's eyes shone With hatred.

"The Riley family despises her, and they despise me because I'm an 'illegitimate' child. I have been insulted with that label my whole life!"

As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears.

She had endured all those accusations and insults for so many years.

She worked so hard just to prove her ability so that people would respect her, and the Riley family would finally acknowledge her.

But today, she understood that her position as the general manager at their company was only because her mother had sacrificed everything in exchange.

It was a huge blow to Shawna.

She hated her biological father, whom she had never met, even more.

Dustin frowned when he heard that.

It was hard to make a judgment without knowing the whole story.

"Maybe your father has his reasons..." Dustin slowly said.

"Reasons?" Shawna looked at him scornfully.

"What reasons are strong enough to make a man abandon his wife and daughter and not see their faces for more than twenty years?"

Dustin could not answer her question.

"I won't forgive him! Ever!" Shawna said angrily.

Dustin chose not to continue with this topic.

"When we arrive at the Riley family villa, you just act as I say," Shawna said seriously, "Don't worry, I'll pay you. If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility." Dustin smiled softly.

"You don't need to pay me. You helped Mrs. Swift a lot. I just want to return the favor."

Shawna looked at Dustin in surprise.

When Dustin first arrived, she had thought that Dustin was a useless and ungrateful person who wanted to rely on Mrs. Swift when she herself was living a tough life. For that reason, she disliked him

But it seemed like Dustin still had a conscience.

sw novel.

"The Riley family members are not easy to deal with. You'd better stay sharp when we get there," said Shawna again.

Dustin did not answer. He just smiled.

Not easy to deal with?

There was only one way by which he dealt with troublemakers...
