Chapter 528 These Were All Misunderstandings


    Sitting on the couch, Dustin casually waved Jeffery over. "Rx a bit, Mr. Lawson-no need to look so uptight.


    Have a seat."


    Jeffery scoffed bitterly, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Are you seriously unaware that yourpany just terminated our contract without notice, Mr. Wade?"


    Remaining unfazed, Dustin merely tilted his head slightly and replied,


    "Partnerships survive on mutual trust, Mr. Lawson. Clearly, we had our reasons. Besides, you''re free to seek opportunities elsewhere-no one''s preventing Lawson Group from exploring other avenues."


    "Since yourpany''s sudden announcement, multiple investors withdrew from deals I''d carefully built over


    months-"


    But Dustin abruptly raised a g


    hand, stopping Jeffery mid-sentence. With an amused yet piercing nce, he remarked, “Come on, Mr. Lawson, pin your own troubles on us. If your family hadn''t created such chaos,


    why would investors jump ship so swiftly?"


    The provocation in Dustin''s words intensified Jeffery''s irritation.


    "Did you really need to escte things over such a minor issue?" Jeffery snapped.


    Laughing softly, Dustin shook his head. "Minor? Interesting that you still see yourself aspletely innocent. If that''s your mindset, then our decision is even more justified."


    Jeffery couldn''t believe his ears. Why would both Dustin and Collin to shield Linsey like this?


    Forcing himself to regainposure, Jeffery locked eyes with Dustin, asking pointedly, "Are you and Mr. Riley seriously doing all this just for Linsey?"


    When Jeffery posed the question, he anticipated a cautious or indirect reply.


    Instead, Dustin maintained his easygoing smile, answering calmly, "Well, at least now you finally understand." Though Jeffery had braced himself for this revtion, actually hearing it still struck him with shock.


    "Mr. Riley is married already! Should he really be getting so involved in defending Linsey?" Jeffery''s expression tightened, yet he managed to force a sarcastic grin.


    It seemed Collin was nothing more than a hypocrite, masquerading as a devoted family man.


    Dustin''s response was dismissive. "Mr. Lawson, your limited view is probably why you misconstrue so much."


    "You!" Jeffery found himself momentarily speechless.


    Undeterred, Dustin continued, "Linsey is a key designer at CR Corporation. Your sister, Carol, wrongly used

    her of theft at a birthday celebration. When Linsey tried to defend herself, Carol dismissed her exnations and evidence, even confining her to a storage room where Carol physically assaulted her "


    Jeffery''s expression visibly changed upon hearing this.


    "Mr. Lawson, if this matter goes to court, do you think Carol would be cleared of her actions?" Dustin asked,


    his voice serious.


    Jeffery paused, then said hesitantly, "These were all misunderstandings. We are prepared to offer Linsey a personal apology..."


    Dustin said with a chuckle, "That''s pointless now. Linsey couldn''t evene to work today due to the injuries inflicted by Carol. Our scheduled design projects are now dyed. We haven''t yet soughtpensation from your family, so I''d suggest you leave Linsey alone."


    Dustin''s sharp remarks left Jeffery visibly embarrassed, his face flushing with share.
