Chapter 607
Two days went by quickly.
Dustin and Simone visited a busy market in Somerton.
"My dad's birthday is in a few days. He loves antiques, so let's find something nice for him," Simone said with a smile.
They were in the outer area of Hattan's antique market, where street vendors had
set up stalls selling various items. The place was packed with people.
After they entered, Simone looked around at the goods. She was clearly interested.
The vendors noticed her. They shouted earnestly and bragged about their antiques.
Dustin sighed and shook his head.
It was obvious Simone did not know anything about antiques. She got excited at
everything she saw, and it made her an easy target for vendors who loved overcharging those who knew little about it.
"Ninety-nine percent of the stuff here is fake. Even if something's real, it's probably not worth that much," Dustin said.
"You have knowledge of antiques?" Simone asked.
"A little," Dustin said with a smile.
"Yeah, right. Your 'a little' isn't convincing at all," Simone said jokingly.
Still, she seemed to know better than to shop here. Instead of buying something,
she led Dustin straight to the inner part of the market.
Eventually, they reached the beautifully decorated Antiquities Trading Hall.
This area was quieter, and the people here clearly had more class and status than the crowd outside.
"I don't have much money left. I'm not sure I can afford a good antique here," Simone said with concern.
"How much do you have?" Dustin asked.
"70 thousand," she said.
Dustin hesitated for a moment.
With only 70 thousand, it was unlikely they could buy anything valuable in this market.
Given the size of the place, even a basic piece would cost at least a hundred thousand.
It looked like he would have to handle the matter.
The two of them followed the crowd into the trading hall.
Simone only agreed to walk in because she heard there was an event happening today.
The hall was lively, and it was no surprise that they ran into someone they knew.
"It's them again." Simone stopped and frowned.
They had run into Luna.
Luna was with a middle-aged man and a young man.
She was holding the young man's arm intimately.
Dustin raised an eyebrow.
Luna had just broken up with Justin, but she already had a new boyfriend?
"Uncle Darren is here too," Simone said softly.
The middle-aged man was Luna's father, Darren Langley.
Just when Simone noticed them, Luna saw them as well. Her face immediately darkened.
"Dad, look!" Luna pulled Darren's arm and pointed at Dustin and Simone.
"It's them!" Darren glanced at them and frowned. "What are they doing here?" Darren did not look happy.
Dustin had caused a lot of trouble at the Langley family villa. His actions
shamed the main Langley famit). Inoveldrama
and made its members very angry.
Conan was already planning to take action against the branch family. Soon, they would learn their lesson.
"What else would they be doing here? Buying antiques, I guess," Luna said.
"With what money? Them? Buying things here?" Darren sneered.
"No money, no taste. They're just here to make fools of themselves," said Darren. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind.
He walked over to Dustin and Simone.
"Uncle Darren..."
Even though Simone did not like the main family members, she still greeted him out of respect.
Dustin, however, did not care. He just glanced at them and ignored them completely.
Darren's face darkened immediately.
Being ignored by someone from the branch family was a huge blow to his pride, especially when Killian Clarke, the son of the Boreal Group's chairman, was standing nearby.
"Dustin, how dare you?! My dad is right here, but you won't even greet him? You won't even look at him? Where are your manners?" Luna said coldly and glared at Dustin
Dustin smiled softly.
It was obvious that they were not approaching him and Simone with good intentions, so why should he play along?
"Respect is mutual. If someone respects me, I'll respect them. If they don't, why should I care?"
His words made Luna's face darken. Darren got angry, and Killian raised an eyebrow in surprise.
