Chapter 175


    After a stormy event, the Harmon family’s press conference ended sessfully.


    On the other hand, the influential Hummer family’s press conference ended in dismal failure.


    The emergence of Immortunol dealt a huge blow to the sales of Eternumax. Compared to another medi


    cine with better efficacy and a cheaper price, Eternumax was regarded as garbage.


    The Hummer family’s Eternumax couldn’t be sold at all. In the end, they were stuck with piles


    of rotting. inventory. The meticulous game nned by Edwin was aplete failure.


    Although this disaster was unable to weaken the Hummer family’s foundation, it still caused them heav


    y losses.


    After the press conference, Dustin was about to say goodbye when he was stopped by Ruth at the door


    ,


    “Dustin, I need a favor from you.”


    “What is it?” Dustin asked suspiciously.


    “I’m going to


    a reunion with some of my ssmatester, can youe with me and be my bodyguard?” Ruth


    was very straightforward.


    “The Harmon family has so many bodyguards, why do you need me? I’m not interested,” Dustin refuse


    d.


    “How can those menpare to you? Well, to be honest with you, there’s a really annoying guy amon


    g my


    ssmates who’s been pursuing me. I told him I have a boyfriend, but he doesn’t believe me. That’s wh


    y I


    need you toe along.” Ruth pouted.


    “In conclusion, you’re just using me as an excuse! That makes me even less interested.” Dustin shrugg


    ed.


    “Hey! I consider you a friend, and you won’t even help me with this small matter? Where’s your loyalty?


    ” Ruth had a displeased expression on her face.


    “What do you mean? Don’t talk nonsense! Dustin’s expression changed as he looked around nervously


    .


    “Don’t pretend you didn’t hear me!” Ruth crossed her arms smugly.


    Dustin opened his mouth to exin, but Ruth interrupted him. “I don’t care! If you don’t help me out, I’ll


    tell my


    mom!”


    “What?” Dustin nodded in rm. “Alright, alright. I’ll just keep youpany. Are you happy now?”


    He didn’t expect this little girl to resort to such a move. He really had to admire her persistence.


    “That’s more like it!” Ruth smirked and pulled Dustin out the door.


    It was the evening at the Phoenix Karaoke, in a private room.


    She sat on the sofa listlessly, propping her chin on her hands.


    1/7/3


    Before her, a group of young men and women were singing and rapping, having a great time.


    *She, you said you were bored out of your mind in the vi. I took a huge risk to bring you out, but wh


    y are you still being mopey?” udia, who was sitting next to her, couldn’t help feeling puzzled.


    Ever since her illness was cured, She, who was usually lively and cheerful, seemed to be acting weir


    d.


    These past two days, she had no appetite and seemed to wander around mindlessly.


    “Maybe my body hasn’t fully recovered yet,” Shezily replied.


    “Is that so?” udia looked skeptical.


    “She, can I ask you something?” At that moment, a young


    man suddenly cut in with a bright smile. “Did you inform Ruth about this gathering? I haven’t been able


    to contact hertely.”


    “Of course I did. We’re all good friends, how could I leave her out?” She nodded.


    “That’s great. It’s been a while since I’vest seen Ruth, I wonder how she is doing?” The young man s


    miled in relief.


    “Nigel I advise you to give up on Ruth. She’s not interested in you.” She was very straightforward.


    “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Maybe one day, Ruth will be moved by my true feelings.” Nigel was


    n’t perturbed at all.


    “True feelings? Nigel you seem to have a new girlfriend every month. It’s possible that you change girlfr


    iends as frequently as someone changes clothes.” udia sneered.


    “udia! Don’t talk nonsense, I’m a loyal person!” Nigel looked embarrassed.


    “Okay, okay! You’re loyal, you’re not a yboy.” udia didn’t bother to argue.


    Her duty was to protect She. She had no interest in the love affairs of these young men and women.


    Just as they were talking, the door to the private room suddenly opened.


    Ruth, who was dressed luxuriously, entered the room, followed closely by Dustin.

    “Ruth, you’re finally here! Please, have a seat!” Nigel was overjoyed when he saw Ruth arrive. He quic


    kly poured Ruth a ss of juice, fawning over her.


    “Dustin?” She eximed and stood up suddenly..


    Her overreaction took udia by surprise. Why was she so energetic all of a sudden?


    Following her gaze, udia noticed Dustin standing there. She couldn’t help furrowing


    her brows. Could it be


    that She liked him?


    “Dustin, why are you here?” She greeted him with joy, to the point of ignoring Ruth’s presence.


    “Ms. Murray?” Dustin was slightly surprised. What a coincidence! He didn’t expect to meet her here.


    “She, do you two know each other?” Ruth stared at the both of them in astonishment.


    “I had fallen ill two days ago. It was Dustin who saved me!” She smiled sweetly.

    “Is that so? As fate would have it, both of you have met again!” Ruth had a meaningful smile on her fac


    e as


    well.


    “Yes, it must be destiny!” She nodded energetically. Shepletely forgot about being bored.


    “Ruth, who is this guy? I haven’t seen him around before.” Nigel narrowed his eyes and


    stared at Dustin with an unfriendly expression.


    Two beautiful women were both fussing around Dustin and being so affectionate with him.


    This made Nigel green with envy.


    “Oh, I forgot to introduce him. This is my boyfriend, Dustin.” Ruth raised her chin proudly.


    “Boyfriend?” Upon hearing this, Nigel’s face darkened,


    As for She, the happiness she had shown earlier was instantly reced by disappointment and sadn


    ess.


    Who knew that Dustin had already been taken by her good friend?
