Chapter 1391: Shameless
“Hmm?” Isabela’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant as she watched the check burn. She hadn’t expected Dustin to be so disrespectful. He not only declined her offer but also burned the check. Wasn’t this a blatant insult?
“Hey! Mr. Dustin! What do you mean by this?” Owen, feeling offended, immediately spoke up. “My fiancé Isabela was offering you money as a favor, and you’re being ungrateful!”
“You think I should accept money just because it’s offered to me? Do you take me for a beggar?” Dustin sneered.
His impression of the Torby family had turned extremely negative. Whether it was Isabela’s manipulation yesterday or the ingratitude he faced today, it made him keenly aware of how appearances could be deceiving.
“Hey! With your attitude, what’s the difference between you and a beggar?” Owen retorted disdainfully.
“If you dare to speak rudely again, don’t blame me for teaching you a lesson,” Dustin’s gaze turned cold.
“You—”
Owen was about to lash out, but he was stopped by Isabela, who raised her hand to intervene. She gazed quietly at Dustin, her eyes filled with complexity. “Dustin, must it be this way? We could have been friends. Why don’t you give yourself a chance?”
“Miss Isabela, I’ve already said it. Your status is noble, and I can’t reach that level. Let’s forget about being friends,” Dustin replied with indifference.
The word “friends” sounded particularly discordant coming from her lips.
“Isabela, this guy is just a deadbeat. Why bother with him?” Owen shook his head.
“Alright, since you don’t consider me a friend, then we don’t need to interact anymore in the future,” Isabela took a deep breath, her gaze gradually becoming cold.
She was the noble daughter of the Torby family, a young lady of wealth and status. Everywhere she went, she was pampered, and she had never suffered any grievances before. She had lowered her attitude to give Dustin a chance to apologize and make amends, which she considered a very merciful gesture. However, the response she received was indifference and aloofness.
It was as if she had offered him kindness, and he had rejected it.
“Miss Isabela, please go ahead,” Dustin replied calmly.
Dustin remained expressionless.
“Young man! Do you really think you can get by in Stonia without Miss Isabela protecting you? You really don’t know your place!” Owen sneered.
Earlier, he had been accommodating because he was concerned about Isabela. Now that they had fallen out, he no longer felt the need to hold back.
“Dr. Elijah, we sympathize with the fire at your clinic,” Isabela said as she turned her gaze toward Mr. Elijah. She continued with feigned sincerity, “Considering your previous assistance to my grandfather, I also intend to help you this time.”
“What do you mean by that, Miss Isabela?” Mr. Elijah kept his brows furrowed.
“Healwell Clinic has been reduced to ruins, its former glory gone forever,” Isabela said solemnly. “Instead of clinging to this ruin, I suggest selling it sooner rather than later. Out of gratitude for our past relationship, I’m willing to purchase your Healwell Clinic at market value to help you through this difficult time.”
“After all this, you’re still interested in Healwell Clinic!” Mr. Elijah’s expression soured.
He had merely suspected before, but now he was certain. There was no doubt that the fire at Healwell Clinic was connected to these two individuals in front of him.
“Dr. Elijah, you need to understand, I’m doing this to help you,” Isabela said with sincerity. “Healwell Clinic has been reduced to rubble, and it’s now practically worthless. I’m willing to buy it at market value as a sign of my admiration for your character and to help you enjoy your retirement.”
“Yes, Dr. Elijah, you’re over 80 years old. It’s time to rest and enjoy life. With a large sum of money in hand, you can indulge yourself, travel, and enjoy your days to the fullest,” Owen added.
“You… you all!” Mr. Elijah’s fingers trembled, his face flushed, and his veins popped out. He was visibly furious.
First, they set Healwell Clinic on fire, and now they came here to buy it at a low price. They even had the audacity to claim they were helping him. These people were truly despicable and shameless!
