Chapter 640
“Evidence? Where is it?” Dahlia was taken aback.
“It’s with me now.” It appeared that Dustin came prepared, as he took out two pieces of evidence.” These are the autopsy results. This can prove that James was poisoned to death. While this black. needle is the murder weapon.”
“What?” Dahlia examined it curiously.
Dustin added, saying, “If you don’t believe me, you can get it tested personally.” Although he had the evidence, it would be hard to convince her without finding the murderer.
“No need for that. I believe you.” Dahlia’s expression was solemn. “To be honest, I know that you’re not the murderer and that this has all been a misunderstanding.”
Dustin smiled. “I’m happy that you think that way.
“I’m sorry for misunderstanding you. But please understand, I had no other choice. My brother’s death has left me in pain. I feel so lost, and I don’t know what to do. I’m scared… I’m scared that I will lose you too. I’m scared that we will become enemies. I’m scared of being alone, I As she spoke, her eyes turned red. She lowered her head and choked back her tears. Her teary appearance looked pitiful; anyone who saw her would pity her.
“It’s alright. It’s all in the past now.” Dustin patted her shoulders in comfort. His actions seemed to shatter all her reservations, and she threw herself into his arms, her sobs intensified. She trembled uncontrollably as a steady stream of tears flowed down her cheeks. Dahlia finally released all the pent-up emotions that she had suppressed for so long.
Dustin sighed. With both arms wrapped around her in an embrace, he inched closer to her and whispered words of comfort into her ear. “It’s okay to cry. It’ll be alright once you cry it out. Oh, by the way, I have a secret to tell you. To be honest, I really did kill your brother.”
“What?” Dahlia froze, and she looked up in shock. “Wha-what did you just say?”
“You didn’t hear me? Let me repeat myself, then. I murdered your brother!” Dustin declared as he
smiled.
After a momentary daze, Dahlia shook her head furiously. “No, it can’t be! You must be lying! How could you be the murderer? I don’t believe you!”
“I couldn’t bear to continue deceiving you, especially when I see you crying so miserably. So I thought I’d just tell you the truth,” Dustin said calmly.
“Dustin, stop joking! You’re not that kind of person” Dahlia denied it flatly.
“Do you really know me?” Dustin countered.
“Why? Weren’t you collecting evidence?” Dahlia frowned.
“I was just playing with you. But I’ve lost interest, so I decided to reveal my cards.” Dustin. shrugged his shoulders.
“So, you were the one who killed my brother?” Dahlia was enraged.
“That’s right. I’m the murderer. What do you plan on doing now Dustin gave her a vague:
“I’m going to kill you!”-In her fury, she took out a dagger and aimed it toward Dustin’s throat.
A slap rang out as Dustin struck Dahlia mercilessly, causing her to fall to the floor. The dagger slipped from her grasp and clattered onto the ground as well.
“You-!” Dahlia’s face was disfigured. She was about to get up when Dustin grabbed her by the throat and pinned her against the wall.
“Ugh-” Dahlia gasped for breath, and her face flushed red. She struggled to free herself but to no avail. Dustin’s grip was like an iron vice that clamped tightly around her neck.
“How are you planning on avenging your brother with your meager strength?” With just one hand, Dustin lifted her off the ground.
“W-why?” Dahlia was aghast. She never expected Dustin to suddenly turn hostile and forget about their past relationship. She could even see the intent to kill in his cold eyes.
“Why? You should ask yourself that.” Dustin sneered coldly. “Is it fun playing such childish tricks in front of me? Are you tired of living?”
“What nonsense are you spouting? Have you gone crazy?” Dahlia was shocked and afraid.
“So, you’re not going to admit it? Alright, two can play at this game!” Dustin snorted and reached. out his hand. With a forceful tug, Dahlia’s clothes were torn into shreds and revealed her enticing. voluptuous figure. She looked extremely provocative.
