"Where should I go now?"

Dustin looked up at the sky and sighed. He felt a little lost.

Up until that point, he had done everything for the Wyatt family. Suddenly he had been kicked out of the family, so he did not know what to do.

The beep of a car horn sounded right then.

A vintage car stopped in front of the gates. A pretty woman in a long white dress got out of the car.

Dustin knew her.

Her name was Simone Langley, and he had saved her life once before.

In truth, Amara had been facing an assassination attempt back then. After the assassin failed his attempt, Dustin had chased after him. The assassin had used Simone as a hostage when Dustin had saved her by killing him. "Mr. Fox, please come with me," she said gently. Simone extended a hand to Dustin with a smile.

"You saved my life once. Now that the Wyatt family has driven you out, why don't you come join me in the Langley family? Although my family has fallen on hard times, we'll still give you the best that we have!" Simone said earnestly. Dustin was swayed by Simone's warm smile.

Compared with the Wyatt sisters' cold indifference, Simone's warmth was like a roaring fire.

It had been a long time since he had felt such tenderness...

Almost instinctively, he said, "Alright."

Simone was overjoyed. She happily led Dustin into the car.

"How did you know I was kicked out of the Wyatt family?" Dustin asked.

"I've been keeping myself updated about your situation..." Simone said in a low voice as she blushed.

"Mr. Fox, the Langley family can't compare to the Wyatt family, but I hope you won't find it beneath you..."

Dustin grinned.

"Why would I? I'm already very grateful that you're taking me in. Also, please don't call me Mr. Fox. Call me Dustin."

Simone nodded.

Once, the Langley family was wealthy and successful. However, they had fallen on hard times, and the villa that they owned had an air of decay.

When Simone led Dustin into the villa, the members of the Langley family came forward to greet him.

"Mr. Fox, welcome to the Langley family," said David Langley with a warm smile. He was Simone's father.

"Consider this your own home from now on..." Simone's mother, Monique Langley, wore a kind smile.

"Camille, clean up your room and let Mr. Fox stay there. You can stay in the study," David said to Simone's younger sister.

"Dad, I've already cleaned it. Mr. Fox can move in immediately," Camille said with a smile.

"There's no need for that. I can sleep anywhere." Dustin was shocked by their hospitality.

"That won't do! You saved Simone's life!" David and Monique both looked very serious and rejected Dustin's polite refusal.

Dustin had no choice but to go along with the arrangement.

His heart filled with warmth. He was really grateful for this family.
