No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 184



Dustin seemed to understand the situation well enough, casting a look at Ernest before speaking, "Mr. Collins can handle this. He won't let personal issues affect his work. And as for today, our security failed to prevent unauthorized entry, so it's not all on Mr. Collins."

Conrad's face turned beet red, clearly not expecting Dustin to defend Ernest and undermine his authority as CEO in such a way.

"Mr. Wagner, I'm in charge of the amusement park now. Let me handle things here," Dustin's words were a direct challenge to Conrad's authority.

That nearly made steam come out of Conrad's ears. Only because it was Dustin, his own brother, did he refrain from throwing him out on the spot. "Fine, if anything like this happens again, you and he will both be held responsible," Conrad spat out furiously before storming off.

I breathed a sigh of relief as he left.

Dustin then turned to Ernest. "Draft a report on this incident. As for the damaged equipment, I'll have it repaired, but the cost will be on you or your company."

His words were a clear separation of professional and personal matters, quite magnanimous.

Ernest, not lacking in responsibility, simply responded with a firm "Okay."
