Chapter 688
The members of the main Langley family exchanged confused glances. None of them understood what Otto was talking about.
Whoever the second son of the Fawkes family was, he was a lofty figure no one could touch. What relationship could he possibly have with the insignificant Langley family?
Everyone was stunned when they heard that.
"Mr. Forbes, are you joking?" Alvern asked tentatively. "The second son of the Fawkes family is such an important person. How could he possibly have anything to do with the Langley family?"
If they could make a connection with the Fawkes family, that would be great. However, it was such a huge jump that they did not even dare to imagine it.
"Naturally, I would not tell tales," Otto said blandly. "Why would I come all the way from Central Harbor to represent the Fawkes family at your birthday banquet if this were not true?"
Alvern's face went stiff.
Indeed, why would the Fawkes family send someone to attend such an unimportant event?
"I wonder what kind of relationship the Fawkes family's second son has with us?” Alvern asked again. "We're quite honored to make an acquaintance of such a mighty family."
The guests all looked unblinkingly at Otto and waited for an answer.
They burned with curiosity as well.
"You don't just have a relationship. In fact, it's a very close one," Otto said playfully.
"Please, do elaborate."
"The second son of the Fawkes family will be the Langley family's son-in-law soon," Otto said with a smile.
"That means... The second son of the Fawkes family... is..." Alvern's eyes bulged. After that, he could say nothing more.
"That's right." Otto nodded. "Unless you can find someone else you know who is related to the Fawkes family."
"My goodness!" Alvern suddenly felt the whole world spin.
He felt weak all over and swayed in place like he would fall at any moment.
"Dustin is actually the second son of the great Fawkes family of Central Harbor!" Alvern cried out. He had never felt so shaken before. It was almost as though he was going to go crazy.
His revelation struck like lightning and sparked a great commotion in the banquet hall.
"W-What?! Dustin is the son of the elite Fawkes family?" The main Langley family's eyes widened in shock, and their mouths fell open.
"Is... Is this true? I... I..." Darren, Luna, and all the others were stricken. They all trembled.
The members of the Langley family saw only darkness and nearly fainted.
David and Monique were the most affected. They were absolutely stunned by all of this.
How could Dustin be the son of such a powerful family?
Simone was shocked as well.
They all knew Dustin's story. Was he not the disgraced son of the Wyatt family that had been kicked out?
Dustin's past identity was indeed quite impressive, but the Grayvale's Fox family had long been destroyed.
What was this about the Central Harbor's Fawkes family?
No one had ever heard that the Fawkes family of Central Harbor and the Fox family of Grayvale had anything to do with each other.
When did Dustin suddenly become the second son of the Central Harbor's Fawkes family?
"This is impossible! It can't be real!" Daniel was so shocked that he stumbled a few steps backward. His heart nearly failed at that startling information.
He was terrified, and the fear filled him instantly from head to toe. He started to sweat.
Fear rolled off of him in waves.
He had planned to put on a show at this birthday banquet to humiliate Dustin and have him chased out of the Langley family. Dustin would also face the threat of prison.
Not long ago, he had been snickering as Dustin was arrested. He had been sonoveldrama
delighted that his plan for revenge was a success.
However, he was currently so scared that his heart nearly stopped.
How could Dustin have such a surprisingly impressive background? It was nothing that he could have ever imagined.
He was the son of the Wilder family of Somerton. There was nothing in Hattan that he feared. He could do anything he wanted in this city.
But he was nothing compared to the Fawkes family!
At most, he could be considered to be just a little wealthy. That still meant he was no more than an ant.
"How could this be?" Daniel lost his reason. He kept shaking his head and was unable to accept the reality.
He had actually conspired against such a powerful person...
"I'm dead. I'm done for! The Wilder family is doomed as well. My father will kill me..." Daniel's face turned pale, and his eyes momentarily unfocused.
"Dustin... He's... He's from an affluent family from Central Harbor." Simone,
who had been expressionlessl
before, was in a daze as welbshe kept muttering softly.
She never knew that Dustin had such a lofty background. It was no wonder powerful people treated him with such respect. He was just plain impressive wherever he went.
It was no wonder that even the richest man in Hattan, Skyler Rowles, was so respectful to him.
All the guests stared in a daze.
Dustin, who had nearly been kicked out of the Langley family, was actually the son of a very affluent family!
This was an unexpected plot twist.
Why had Dustin, who had such a powerful background, ended up with the insignificant Rivenesco branch of the Langley family?
No one could figure that out.
The main Langley family had just tried to kick Dustin out of the family, too.
What a dramatic turn of events this was!
Everyone was sure that the members of the main Langley family were regretting their actions at this point.
Indeed, they were!
However, the members of the main Langley family were all too occupied being terrified at this point.
They had wanted Dustin to bow before Daniel and beg for forgiveness as the guests watched. Then, they wanted to kick him out ruthlessly.
"Alright. You understand now?" Otto looked around him. He was not perturbed at all by these people's reactions.
That was the kind of calm attitude a member of a powerful family should have.
"Mr. Dustin has stayed with the Langley family of Rivenesco for three years. Now, our patriarch is ready to call him back to take over the Fawkes family's businesses. I was sent here today to invite him home. Celebrating Mr. Langley's birthday was just a side thing.
"Mr. Langley, why don't I see Mr. Dustin here? Please ask him to come out," Otto
said.
The members of the main Langley family looked ashen as they remained silent.
How were they supposed to get Dustin here?
“Hm? Is there a problem?" Otto's face darkened when he saw how the members
of the main Langley family reacted so strangely.
"Mr. Forbes, the main Langley family tried to kick Mr. Dustin out of the family in public," someone in the crowd yelled unhelpfully.
"What?! He was... kicked out?" Otto's expression turned icy. The whole banquet hall nearly shook from his rage.
