Was Scarlet irritated? What was wrong with her?
Even though Elena was frustrated and seething with anger, she dared not utter a word.
The assistant general from the Moseys was puzzled. But he was relieved that he kept his mouth shut earlier.
Otherwise, he might have gotten a few slaps.
“Now, listen up. I’m only saying this once.” Scarlet’s icy gaze swept over everyone.
“Dustin is my friend, and the Camron family is our business partner. If any of you start talking nonsense, don’t
blame me for beating you up!”
“What? Friends?”
The crowd gasped, utterly astonished. Who would’ve thought Scarlet was here because of Dustin? What kind of

“My Lady, are you serious? You’re friends with this loser?”
Eleanor couldn’t believe it. To her, Dustin was just a doctor with some fighting skills. How could he be friends with
the high and mighty Spanner family?
“Yes, My Lady! He’s just a loser. How could you be friends with him?” Elena blurted out.
“How dare you?” Scarlet’s expression soured, her irritation evident as she landed a hard kick to Elena’s gut. Elena
was sent flying. She crashed into a wall, coughing up blood and groaning.
Earlier, Scarlet had given them a warning with a slap, but now she was genuinely angered. They were disrespecting
Logan, and she was ready to show them the consequences of their words.
“Elena!” Eleanor was shocked and rushed to help her up. Scarlet scoffed. “Do I need your approval for my choice of

back.
“What are you all still doing here? Scram!” Scarlet barked in a commanding tone.
The Moseys’ assistant general trembled and kept his mouth shut. He quickly led his troops away. Even if the mission

Eleanor felt a bit uneasy. She knew Dustin, backed by Scarlet’s support, could bring trouble for her and Elena if he

“It’s all on you two. And make sure to prepare your coffins; you’ll need them soon. Now, you can leave,” he
declared coldly.
“You!” Eleanor wanted to retort but caught Scarlet’s glare. Eleanor held back her words and said sternly, “Just
because you have the Spanner family backing you doesn’t mean you can act recklessly. We’ll see how things play
out!”
With that, she helped the injured Elena and quickly left the Camron manor. While their plan might have failed, it
didn’t necessarily mean they had lost.
Even though Dustin had Scarlet supporting him, Elena and Eleanor had the Moseys behind them. The outcome was
still uncertain if it came down to a real confrontation.
