Chapter 1229 Asked Dustin For Help

Dustin was not to be considered a fool. He didn't think Rachel would visit him without reason.

"Ms. Bai, I really appreciate that you could spare time and drop by here. I know you're busy running a big company, but I got something to do, so..." Clearly, he only thought of cutting Rachel off. And that was the least he could do to keep his company as well as himself from getting in a lot of trouble.

"Mr. Zhang, can't you help me out this time? We are a team now!" Rachel implored. She had realized that Dustin didn't want to have anything to do with her. But she didn't want to give up her plan so easily considering she was with him. She firmly decided to give it a shot and see if Dustin would agree to work with her company.

"What exactly do you mean by that? When did I team up with you?" he asked with a frown.

He never regarded himself as being involved with her, except for their sexual encounters that had happened several times.

But as far as he knew, Rachel and Holley had whored themselves out to other men to save Tarsan Corporation, and he was just one of them. So he got nothing to fear even if Rachel threatened him with what had transpired between them.

"Before I went straight here, I met with Lance and said something to him. Now, he thinks that you've taken my side. Even if you don't give me a hand, Lance will still find a way to put you down. We both know your company is smaller than Silver Corporation, so why don't you work with me? Perhaps your company can survive," Rachel expressed in a composed manner.

She had fabricated the lie for she was already out of options. And she knew the consequences of this. If she successfully tricked Dustin into working with her, her company would be able to survive in this city, or else she would end up in a helpless situation.

Now that Lance had cut her off, and that she had kicked Holley out of her company, she couldn't imagine how herself and Tarsa

ed." The longer he stared at Rachel, the more his expression grew unreadable.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm begging you..."

"Please, please don't do that. Have you forgotten how you threatened me? I was so scared," Dustin quipped while he roared in laughter.

"Mr. Zhang, I was wrong. I didn't have other choices. I..." Rachel explained with a rattled expression. She felt so regretful that she wanted to slap herself for her stupid idea. 'I'm such an idiot. Why would I make such an unwise decision? What am I going to do?' she thought anxiously.

"Rachel Bai, to be honest with you, no one is going to help you. You better give up this early. You have messed up with the big shots in the business circle in this city. Do you think you can still do business here? Wake up. That's not gonna happen," Dustin stated with a dismissive look at her. He knew that her company was unlikely to survive.

"I..." Rachel tried to snap back, but Dustin stopped her.

"I'm not done yet. I am in a good mood, so I don't mind telling you something. Do you know why all the media houses refused to expose what you asked them to?" Dustin was in high spirits. Realizing he didn't have any appointments today, he decided to teach her a lesson.

'I feel so good to see her get upset like this, ' he pondered.
