No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 634

Dustin walked over with a frosty look, confronting his parents head on.

Immediately, Herschel's face soured, "Dustin, are you really set on walking this dark path?"

Dustin met their gaze, "In my memory, ever since my brother was born, everything changed. Mom and Dad coddled him, loved him, while I was sidelined. You'd tuck him in bed with you, and I'd be left alone, scared, huddling under the covers in my own room."

"You said he was just a baby, but did you ever think? I was only a few years older, still a child myself, also craving my parents' affection."

"He took everything from me—my toys, my clothes, my everything. You didn't care about what I wanted; as long as he desired it, you'd use the 'big brother' card on me, expecting me to give in."

"Under your manipulation and threats, I became the brother who always had to give way to him. It became a habit, even if I liked something, I'd let him choose first. If he took it, I'd be left to cry in the middle of the night."

Dustin's words visibly shook their parents, and I could see the hurt in his eyes.

He had bottled these feelings up for over twenty years, and today, they finally came pouring out.

"Then, Felicia came into our lives, and I liked her the moment I saw her. But you said she was destined for Rad, my brother. Again, I had to hide my feelings..."

Dustin's gaze met mine as he spoke, his love twisted but undeniably pure.

"Then you handed the company over to Rad, coming up with all sorts of praises for me, all to send me abroad. In the four years I was overseas, how often did you visit? Not once did you ask me to come back, not even for Rad's engagement..."

"Do you think I'm a fool? I knew you were worried I'd screw up your plans. But guess what? Your plans fell through anyway, and I seized my chance to come back home. But you weren't pleased, you were uneasy."

Dustin let out a bitter laugh, saying, "You were afraid I'd take advantage, but do you have any idea how much that hurt me? I've doubted countless times whether I was even your biological child, even going as far as doing a DNA test in secret. But yes, I am your son."

As I got up, I took the documents representing billions in assets, eyeing Herschel, "Dustin's right. This was always mine, not a bargaining chip."

This was my parents' legacy, earned with their lives. Why shouldn't I claim it?

Today, he willingly handed it over, but even if he hadn't, I would have demanded it.

"Felicia," Jacqueline called out to me, urgency in her voice.

I looked at her, she seemed to struggle, unable to articulate her thoughts.

"Are you trying to take these back?" I lifted the asset documents in my hand.
