Chapter 1229 Asked Dustin For Help


    Dustin was not to be considered a fool. He didn''t think Rachel would visit him without reason.


    "Ms. Bai, I really appreciate that you could spare time and drop by here. I know you''re busy running a


    bigpany, but I got something to do, so..." Clearly, he only thought of cutting Rachel off. And that


    was the least he could do to keep hispany as well as himself from getting in a lot of trouble.


    "Mr. Zhang, can''t you help me out this time? We are a team now!" Rachel implored. She had realized


    that Dustin didn''t want to have anything to do with her. But she didn''t want to give up her n so easily


    considering she was with him. She firmly decided to give it a shot and see if Dustin would agree to


    work with herpany.


    "What exactly do you mean by that? When did I team up with you?" he asked with a frown.


    He never regarded himself as being involved with her, except for their sexual encounters that had


    happened several times.


    But as far as he knew, Rachel and Holley had whored themselves out to other men to save Tarsan


    Corporation, and he was just one of them. So he got nothing to fear even if Rachel threatened him with


    what had transpired between them.


    "Before I went straight here, I met with Lance and said something to him. Now, he thinks that you''ve


    taken my side. Even if you don''t give me a hand, Lance will still find a way to put you down. We both

    know yourpany is smaller than Silver Corporation, so why don''t you work with me? Perhaps your


    She had fabricated the lie for she was already out of options. And she knew the consequences of this.


    If she sessfully tricked Dustin into working with her, herpany would be able to survive in this


    city, or else she would end up in a helpless situation.


    Now that Lance had cut her off, and that she had kicked Holley out of herpany, she couldn''t


    imagine how herself and Tarsan Company were going to get through this if Dustin refused to help her


    out.


    "You''re so smart, Rachel Bai!" Dustin uttered through his gritted teeth as he panicked inside. ''If Rachel


    didn''t tell Lance her rtionship with me, I would ignore her and ask her to leave. But this vicious


    woman is setting me up and trying to get mypany in big trouble.


    If she is telling the truth, I can''t work with her at this point. Otherwise, Lance would be convinced that I


    am against him. I am not silly.


    Everyone knows that Rachel had tried to suck up to other big enterprises after Charles made it clear


    that he didn''t want anypany to be involved with hers. She turned to Lance for help but ended up


    offending him, so he instructed all the media houses to stay away from her. Perhaps she is lying.''


    After weighing the pros and cons, Dustin pulled out his phone in a bid to call up Lance.


    "Who are you calling up?" Rachel asked, feeling rattled within. She initially thought that Dustin would


    help herpany survive this time after he heard her words. But it had never crossed her mind that he


    would call Lance in her presence.


    "I''m calling Lance. I''d like to see if you''re telling the truth," Dustin coldly replied as he dialed Lance''s


    number.


    "No, you can''t..." Rachel tried to take away his phone from his hand but failed. Once Dustin talked to


    Lance, her lie would be exposed. And that was thest thing she wanted.


    A few secondster, someone on the other end of the line picked up the phone.


    "Hello, Lance, I''m Dustin. Rachel is at my office, asking me to help Tarsan Corporation out. She said


    you misunderstood me, so I am calling to know if she was telling the truth," Dustin said respectfully.


    Rachel stood there, keeping herself in check. Though she couldn''t hear what Lance said, she detected


    that Dustin looked relieved.


    "I see. You''re intelligent. I know that you''re not to be fooled easily by a woman. I have been loyal to you


    in the past years, after all!" Dustin praised in a ttering tone, smiling. His fear dissipated.


    Rachel remained standing, trying to catch something from the conversation. s! She couldn''t hear


    what Lance said, but she could tell from Dustin''s expression that her n failed.


    ''I can''t believe that Dustin would risk calling up Lance after what I said. What if it was not a lie? Wasn''t


    he afraid that his call would infuriate Lance?'' she mused angrily.


    "I know what to do. Rest assured, I will not let you down. I''ll take care of this," Dustin said deferentially,


    and he ended the call.


    "Do you really think I am an idiot, Rachel Bai? How dare you fool me this way?" Dustin whined. But


    there was more of a triumphant joy on his face rather than anger.


    "I''m sorry, Mr. Zhang. I don''t know what to do. I''m out of options. Please do me a favor, and help my


    swallow her pride and beg him to help her out even though the chance was slim. She had no other


    choice, after all.


    Dustin let out a scornfulugh. Looking smug, he responded triumphantly, "What a surprise! I never


    expected our arrogant Ms. Bai would apologize to me. Well done! I''m impressed." The longer he stared


    at Rachel, the more his expression grew unreadable.


    "Mr. Zhang, I''m begging you..."


    "Please, please don''t do that. Have you forgotten how you threatened me? I was so scared," Dustin


    quipped while he roared inughter.


    "Mr. Zhang, I was wrong. I didn''t have other choices. I..." Rachel exined with a rattled expression.


    She felt so regretful that she wanted to p herself for her stupid idea. ''I''m such an idiot. Why would I


    make such an unwise decision? What am I going to do?'' she thought anxiously.


    "Rachel Bai, to be honest with you, no one is going to help you. You better give up this early. You have


    messed up with the big shots in the business circle in this city. Do you think you can still do business


    here? Wake up. That''s not gonna happen," Dustin stated with a dismissive look at her. He knew that


    herpany was unlikely to survive.


    "I..." Rachel tried to snap back, but Dustin stopped her.


    "I''m not done yet. I am in a good mood, so I don''t mind telling you something. Do you know why all the


    media houses refused to expose what you asked them to?" Dustin was in high spirits. Realizing he


    didn''t have any appointments today, he decided to teach her a lesson.


    ''I feel so good to see her get upset like this, '' he pondered.
