Chapter 1122: “Unexpected Guest”
“Ah?”
The sudden p left Chase and Vivian bewildered, their hands covering their faces in confusion.
Wasn’t Dustin the troublemaker? Why was the General hitting them?
At this moment, the Murray family members, and even all the guests present, wore expressions of
shock.
Nobody expected that the usuallyposed General would openly resort to physical violence,
especially on his own birthday.
“O-General, did you perhaps mistake the person? This guy is a criminal who should be detained and
watched closely to prevent him from causing trouble,” Chase attempted to exin.
“Yes, General, this guy injured Young Lord Garrettst night; he’s truly heinous and must be severely
punished!” Vivian chimed in.
She believed that General Murray might not know the whole story, hence the intervention.
“Shut up!” General Murray red, emitting a powerful aura. “Dustin saved my granddaughter’s life; he
is a benefactor of the Murray family and my honored guest. If you dare to talk nonsense again, don’t
me me for kicking you out!”
With those words, Chase and Vivian fell silent immediately, their faces showing signs of panic.
If they were truly expelled from the General’s residence, not only would they suffer, but their entire
families would also face consequences, perhaps even being ostracized.
After all, no one would want to risk offending the General and continue associating with their families.
“Grandfather…”
Shi couldn’t bear to watch anymore and was about to say something when Max interrupted, “Dad,
today is your birthday. It’s not worth getting angry. Let’s calm down.”
The reason for stopping his daughter was simple: right now, distinguishing right from wrong was
irrelevant.
Once the patriarch had spoken, the entire Murray family had to support his decision, no matter the
reason. Especially in front of so many guests, the patriarch’s authority was unquestionable.
“Hmph!”
General Murray coldly nced at the two of them before turning to Dustin, saying in amanding
tone, “Young man,e, sit at the head of the table. Let’s see who dares to object today.”
With that, he grabbed Dustin’s hand and arranged him at the head table.
This area was reserved for the Murray family’s core members and esteemed guests. Dustin, dressed
so modestly, appeared out of ce.
However, no one dared to voice any objections with the General’smand. Instead, they all put on
friendly smiles and weed him.
Though Dustin was not a prominent figure, the General’s face was priceless. Even if a lump of dung
were ced on the table, they would have to eat it withoutint.
“This guy is truly despicable, taking advantage of Shi’s name to assert himself here and deceive the
General’s sympathy. He’s utterly shameless!” Vivian gritted her teeth, feeling indignant.
As a prestigious disciple of a noble family, she didn’t even have the qualifications to sit at the head
table. Why should a lowly insurance salesman sit among those important figures?
“Hmph! This is just a temporary glory. Once the General realizes the truth, Dustin will undoubtedly be
severely punished to clear his name!” Chase muttered, touching his stinging face.
In the presence of the General, he naturally couldn’t express his anger, so he redirected it all toward
Dustin.
“You brat, mark my words, one day I’ll get rid of you.”
Max muttered with a dark expression. He thought Chase and Vivian could handle Dustin, but he hadn’t
expected the Old Man to intervene.
Even if he harbored immense resentment, he dared not show it. After all, it was unwise to disy
dissatisfaction before the General, especially in front of such a significant gathering.
