Regulus chuckled heartily. “All right, as long as you agree! I’ll arrange a family meeting tomorrow
morning and officially announce you as the new head of the Nicholson family!”
The surprising news came without warning, leaving Dahlia in a daze even after Regulus had hung up.
She hadn’t achieved much, yet she was suddenly the Nicholson matriarch, dramatically elevating her
status.
It felt unbelievable. Although Dahlia believed she had the talent, she lacked the confidence to lead such
a prominent family at this time. However, she also realized that this was an opportunity for her to rise,
and she shouldn’t let it slip away. She had to give it a try, regardless of whether she was prepared.

good news!”
“What? Did your wife give birth?” Dustin asked curiously.
“It’s better news than that.”
“She gave birth to twins?”
“Sir Rhys, can you have a better imagination?”
“A better imagination? Oh… I get it now. The children are not yours?”
Nelson was speechless, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Dustin’s responses were getting

“Sir Rhys, I’ll just tell you. We found James’ killer.” Nelson was not going to let Dustin continue

“The killer? Where are they?” Dustin’s gaze grew cold, and he turned serious.
“We beat him up half to death. He’s unconscious now, but he already ratted out the mastermind,”
Nelson responded.
“Who was it?” Dustin asked.
“Nicholson Corp.’s Vice Chairman-Hank Hoffman!” Nelson’s expression was serious.
Dustin was surprised. “Hank Hoffman? Are you sure?”
Nelson explained, “Based on the statement, Hank intended to remove Ms. Nicholson forcefully from her
position, but he couldn’t do so with you backing her. So, he decided to sow discord between the two of
you. It would be easier for him to accomplish his goal if you weren’t on good

“Sir Rhys, what Hank did was unforgivable. I’ve already obtained his address and will send someone to
capture him immediately!” Nelson said furiously.
“There’s no need. I’ll handle it personally this time. Show me the way,” Dustin said with a hardened
expression.
“Right away!” Without hesitating, Nelson quickly went to get the car. The gravity of the situation was
evident since Dustin had decided to get involved personally. Hank wouldn’t be able to escape this time!
