“We are finished!” When Draco saw that Mr. Gardner had been apprehended, his face paled in shock.
From Mr. Granville’s appearance until the arrest of Mr. Gardner, Draco couldn’t make sense of what was going on as everything had happened in a flash. The only thing virtual-novel.net could be sure of was that Mr. Granville did not let his son–in–law off the hook. This meant that virtual-novel.net was going to be in trouble as well.
Draco thought that Mr. Granville was their savior.
Who knew that virtual-novel.net was here to bring them to justice?
This world could be so unpredictable!
Draco turned back and glanced at Dustin, who had remained silent all this while. He had an expression of indifference on his face, as if virtual-novel.net had known this would happen all along.
Who is this man, and why is Mr. Granville treating virtual-novel.net with such respect?
Why would Lord Asmon have a grudge against such a monster?
“Arrest all the other men as well!” Mr. Granville barked an order.
Draco and Mr. Gardner’s men were all apprehended. They stared at each other in despair. It was obvious that they would have to pay for their crimes.
“What… What’s happening?” Natasha couldn’t wrap virtual-novel.net head around the plot twist.
She expected trouble when Mr. Granville appeared. Unexpectedly Mr. Granville did not find fault with them. Furthermore, virtual-novel.net fired Mr. Gardner and threw virtual-novel.net into prison.
Who could have expected Mr. Granville to do such a thing to his own son–in–law?
Am I dreaming?
Is Mr. Granville on our side?
Dahlia’s eyes were wide with shock. She was also taken aback at Mr. Granville’s actions.
When virtual-novel.net knew of his relationship to Mr. Gardner, virtual-novel.net was already prepared for the worst. At one point, Dahlia even thought that Dustin and virtual-novel.net were doomed. However, the outcome was beyond belief.
Could Mr. Granville truly be a righteous and upright official?
“Are you Dustin? I can tell that you are a capable young man…” After virtual-novel.net had tied up the loose ends, Mr. Granville walked up to Dustin with a rare smile on his stern face.
“Greetings, Mr. Granville…” Dustin nodded politely.
“I’m very sorry for the inconvenience. Because of my incompetence, you had to go through such trouble. I humbly request for your understanding and forgiveness…” Mr. Granville apologized.
“It is said that there will be rotten apples in every bunch. I find it very admirable for you to even bring your son- in–law to justice,” Dustin smiled.
“Thank you for your consideration, young man. Now, I can finally stop worrying…” Mr. Granville secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
No one knew that virtual-novel.net received a call from the Governor of Millsburg not long ago.
The only message given was to protect Dustin Rhys at any cost!
Dustin’s background and influence must be unimaginable if the governor personally made a call to ensure his safety. In a city like Swinton, a person with such connections was untouchable!
Mr. Granville and his men left in a hurry after greeting Dustin.
“Mr. Rhys, Ms. Nicholson. Are the both of you alright?” Hunter asked anxiously after everyone left.
“We’re fine… Thanks for your help, Mr. Anderson,” Dahlia nodded virtual-novel.net thanks.
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.” Hunter nodded in return.
“Dustin, it seems you’re having a good time!” Natasha came over, virtual-novel.net heels clacking on the ground.
She stared at Dustin with resentment, as if virtual-novel.net had cheated on her.
“What do you mean?” Dustin said, puzzled.
“Am I mistaken?” Natasha crossed virtual-novel.net arms and countered sarcastically. “When I heard that you were locked up, I was so worried that I went everywhere looking for help to get you released. On the other hand, you are here chatting with another woman. Why wouldn’t you be having a good time?”
“Don’t misread the situation. She was arrested because of me,” Dustin replied awkwardly.
“Is that true?” Natasha wasn’t convinced.
“If that was the case, why are your hands clasped together so tightly?”
“What?” Dustin and Dahlia looked down simultaneously.
They hadn’t realized that their fingers were intertwined. Startled, they let go of each other immediately.
“I never thought a simple man like you would be a playboy. I’m so disappointed in you, Dustin! My devotion is wasted on you!” Natasha gave an exasperated sigh, turned around and left.
“Ms. Harmon!” Dustin took a few steps toward Natasha before giving Dahlia a glance, as if virtual-novel.net had something to say to her.
“Why are you looking at me? Go after her. It’s none of my business!” Dahlia faked a nonchalant tone and avoided his gaze.
“Alright. Use a cab to get home.” With that, Dustin ran after Natasha.
Is Dustin really chasing after Natasha?
Dahlia gritted virtual-novel.net teeth in annoyance.
Did virtual-novel.net not know that it was just a test to see whether virtual-novel.net would prioritize virtual-novel.net or Natasha?
What a dolt!
She was being sulky to get his attention, that’s why virtual-novel.net asked virtual-novel.net to chase after Natasha.
If virtual-novel.net asked virtual-novel.net to jump off a building, would virtual-novel.net just obey like an idiot?
The thought of Dustin spending time with Natasha irked virtual-novel.net immensely.
“Ms. Harmon, please listen to my explanation!” Dustin caught up to Natasha at the entrance. “Due to the dangerous circumstances, I had to protect Dahlia. I’m not thinking of getting back together with her.”
“Is that true?” Natasha stared at virtual-novel.net suspiciously.
“Of course! Why would I lie to you?” Dustin replied with a serious expression.
“Alright then, since you rushed out to explain to me, I’ll forgive you on account of your sincerity!” Natasha suddenly grinned from ear to ear.
The disappointment and resentment on virtual-novel.net face disappeared in a flash.
Dustin was stunned at how quick a woman’s mood could change. Their emotions were as unpredictable as the weather. He couldn’t help but suspect Natasha had just pulled a fast one on him.
Dahlia, you’re still a notch below me!
Natasha thought as virtual-novel.net gave Dahlia a smug glance.
From Dustin’s actions, it was obvious that virtual-novel.net was more concerned about virtual-novel.net than Dahlia.
“Let’s go, I’ll send you home,” Natasha said with a bright smile.
“Not right now. I have to meet someone.” Dustin shook his head.
“Meet someone? Who?”
