Chapter 541
“What?” Dustin frowned when Florence’s gaze swept toward him.
“Why are you looking at me? Are you telling me to be the scapegoat? What the fuck?” he thought.
“Dustin…” Florence forced a smile. She took an apple out of her fruit basket and handed it to Dustin.
“Aren’t you hungry? Here, have an apple.”
“What are you trying to do?” Dustin looked at her warily. It only raised suspicions more with Florence
going out of her way to be kind to him.
“Well, you heard what we said, didn’t you?” Florence forced out a sweet, kind smile. “You’ve always
been a kind person. I’m sure you can’t bear to see us lose our money like this, so I hope you can do us
a favor.”
“What favor?” Dustin had his guard up.

”
“You’re asking me to scam people for you?” Dustin raised an eyebrow.
“How could you say that?” Florence feigned innocence. “We’re not deceiving anyone; we’re simply
repurposing waste. Those wealthy people aren’t short on money anyway, so think of it as doing a good
deed.”
“She’s right!” Julie nodded. “Dustin, the abandoned buildings in Eastville might seem worthless now,
but they actually have high potential. We don’t have the financial ability to continue developing them,
but they might have a new chance if those who are rich take over them.”
“Hold on.” Dustin raised his hand to stop Julie. “Where did you say the buildings were?”
“Eastville, near the suburbs. Why?” Julie was puzzled.
“The abandoned buildings in Eastville?” After getting confirmation, Dustin smiled. “You guys got lucky.
Those buildings are worth a lot of money.”
“Worth a lot of money?” The others exchanged confused glances. They couldn’t understand how that
failed investment could be worth any money. Besides, why would they sell those buildings if they knew
they were of any worth?
“I heard that those buildings are going to be redeveloped soon, so you guys hit the jackpot this time,”
Dustin said with a smile. This was what Azalea had told him earlier at the cafe. He just didn’t expect
Florence and the others to be lucky enough to get a head start.
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Julie frowned. “Those buildings have been abandoned for
more than seven years. No one dares to take over it, yet you’re saying that they’re going to be
redeveloped? What a joke!”
“She’s right. If they were worth a lot of money, people would have fought to snatch them up instead of
leaving them there.” Victoria huffed.

was bad enough that Terrence had successfully scammed them, but did Dustin think that they were
idiots? How could he lie to them as well?
“I’m not lying. Those buildings will be astonishingly valuable,” Dustin replied calmly.” There’s a good
chance that those properties under your name will multiply in value tremendously in a few days, so you
shouldn’t sell them off.”
“Nonsense! Multiply by several times? That’s nothing but wishful thinking!” Julie snapped.
“Even if you’re not going to help, why are you trying to deceive us?” Florence dropped the act, and her
tone turned harsh.
“It’s just friendly advice. If you don’t believe me, forget it.” Dustin shrugged. He believed that Azalea
wouldn’t tell such a lie, so it was very likely that those buildings were going to shoot up in value soon. It
was just that not many people knew about that yet.
“I’m just telling you to find a scapegoat. Why do you keep talking nonsense? You’re so useless!
“Florence snapped resentfully.
