After a night without sleep, Lana reluctantly called Dustin. Then, she invited him for lunch at her place.

Dustin, unsuspecting, agreed without hesitation. After ending the call, Lana slumped into a chair, her face pale and

eyes lifeless. Her worn-out appearance was proof of her sleepless night.

"Lana, how'd it go? Did you get a hold of Dustin?" Matteo walked into the room.

She didn't say a word and simply nodded.

Matteo couldn't help but sigh as he observed Lana's depressed expression. He reassured her, "Lana, I understand

you're upset, but we're out of options.

"We can't afford to mess with Scott. With the Moseys behind him, we can't risk crossing him. Many members of the

Camron family are already in his hands. If we resist, they will end up dead.

"So, this time, we've got no choice but to play the bad guys." By the end of his speech, Matteo's expression

darkened.

He had a favorable view of Dustin—young, talented, and brimming with potential. Little did he expect Dustin to stir

trouble with the Moseys. Now, Dustin was in serious trouble.

"Dad, are there really no alternatives? Can't we seek help to resolve this conflict?" Lana inquired cautiously.

"I've tried, but it's pointless." Matteo shook his head.

"The moment my friends catch wind of 'the Mosey family,' they immediately hang up. You should understand the

Moseys' influence; hardly anyone in Oakvale dares to defy them."

In Oakvale, the four ancient houses ranked with the Spanner family at the top, followed by the Mosey family. Then,

the Ballard and Fallon families.

Moreover, the Mosey family wasn't far behind the Spanner family in power and influence.

The Spanners' twins were the main reason for their influence and power. Other than Aylka's royalty, the Spanner

family was the only family capable of rivaling the Moseys.

The Camron family were at Scott's mercy with no escape route. If they resisted, it would inevitably lead to

destruction.

This was the harsh reality, and there was no way around it.

"Why? Why did it come to this?" Lana bit her lip, fists clenched, a face full of humiliation and reluctance. But

ultimately, she felt helpless and despair.

As Matteo had said, no one dared to offend the Moseys. The critical point was that Scott held a considerable

number of hostages. If she didn't comply, her father and her family would all die.

"Lana, brace yourself. Dustin will be here soon. Don't reveal any vulnerabilities; otherwise, we're finished," Matteo

cautioned with a heavy heart.

"I know." Lana nodded solemnly without saying a word. At this point, she had no choice but to go along with it.

At noon, Dustin arrived at the Camron manor, and Lana and her father greeted him at the door.

"Hey, Dustin! You're here? Please, come inside." Matteo greeted him with a smile.
