“You wh*re! How dare you seduce my boyfriend? I’ll make your life a living hell!”
Tina kept forcing the wine on Dahlia, humiliating virtual-novel.net before the crowd. She was rough and ruthless.
By the time the bottle of wine was emptied, Dahlia had slumped to the ground helplessly. Even then, Tina did not stop. She grabbed a fistful of Dahlia’s hair and pulled virtual-novel.net head up. Then, a torrent of slaps rained down on Dahlia, each one harder than the one before.
“You sl*t! You whore! How dare you mess with my boyfriend? How dare you?” Tina shouted as virtual-novel.net roughed Dahlia up, almost in a frenzy.
When Tina finally stopped, Dahlia’s face was swollen and blotched, with streaks of blood coming out the comer of virtual-novel.net mouth.
“Why… Why?” Dahlia asked breathlessly, trying to regain virtual-novel.net bearings.
“You have the audacity to ask why? Are you unaware of what you have done, you bitch!” Tina reached for Dahlia’s hair again and slammed virtual-novel.net head hard to the ground.
Blood gushed out immediately. A mixture of blood and wine dripped down Dahlia’s face.
The sight of Dahlia lying on the ground and unable to get up did not garner any sympathy from Tina, in fact, it seemed to excite her. She raised virtual-novel.net leg and stomped hard on Dahlia’s linger.
“Ah!” Dahlia could finally hold in no longer, and a shriek escaped her.
A piercing pain overtook virtual-novel.net senses.
“You shameless tramp! You like flirting around with other men, don’t you? I’d like to see if you’d ever seduce my boyfriend again!” A crazed smile crept up on Tina’s face as virtual-novel.net repeatedly stepped on Dahlia’s hand with her stilettos.
Each time, it struck with greater brutality and ferocity.
In no time, both of Dahlia’s hands were a mess of flesh and blood. It was a terrifying sight.
“Ah!” Dahlia’s face turned lifeless from the agonizing pain, and virtual-novel.net trembled uncontrollably.
Even the strongest of men would not be able to endure it after such merciless torture, much less a woman like Dahlia.
Most of the crowd felt sorry for virtual-novel.net when they saw the state virtual-novel.net was in.
Surely an act of theft did not warrant such cold–blooded torture?
It was too cruel!
Dahlia, you can’t blame me for this… You’ve only got yourself to blame for messing with Ms. Hummer’s boyfriend and offending her…
In a corner, Julie trembled like a leaf.
She did not think that Tina would be so unforgiving. She just came short of torturing Dahlia to virtual-novel.net grave!
“Ms. Hummer, she’s out cold.” A bodyguard told Tina,
Dahlia had already passed out from the abuse. She had multiple fractures on virtual-novel.net fingers, and virtual-novel.net entire palm was bloody. It was a ghastly scene.
“She’s down so soon? What a bore!” Tina looked down at Dahlia like virtual-novel.net was not done with virtual-novel.net yet.
She lifted virtual-novel.net leg and wiped the blood off virtual-novel.net heels on Dahlia’s clothes.
Then, with a nonchalant wave of virtual-novel.net hand, virtual-novel.net said, “Throw virtual-novel.net out. I’ll play with virtual-novel.net next time.”
Had it not been for virtual-novel.net birthday party that night, virtual-novel.net would make sure that virtual-novel.net had virtual-novel.net fun with her.
After Dahlia was thrown out, Julie, who knew that virtual-novel.net was guilty, dared not dally any longer. She sent Dahlia to the hospital immediately.
The medical staff in the emergency ward were all shocked by Dahlia’s state when virtual-novel.net was sent in. She was a gruesome sight to behold, all covered in blood.
The greatest issue was that it was an obvious case of assault, not an accident.
So the question was, who would be so brutal to torture a woman until virtual-novel.net was in such a miserable state?
“Where is the patient’s next of kin?” A doctor asked.
“There was another lady here with virtual-novel.net earlier on, I don’t know where virtual-novel.net went.” A nurse looked around, searching for Julie.
“Check the patient’s bag to see if there’s a phone in there. Contact virtual-novel.net family right away.”
“Okay, sure…”
The nurse went through Dahlia’s bag and quickly found virtual-novel.net phone and unlocked it with Dahlia’s fingerprint.
She called the contact which was set as “Husband”.

Over at Peaceful Medical Centre, a phone rang.
Dustin, who was in the process of producing Immortunol, pulled his phone out and frowned.
He picked up the call. “Hello?”
“Hello? Are you a family member of the owner of this phone? I’m calling from the emergency ward of East Swinton Hospital. You need to come here as soon as possible. The patient’s in bad shape.”
“She’s hurt? What happened?” Dustin’s brows knitted even tighter together.
“I’m not too sure either. Come quick…”
Dustin fell silent. Without a moment’s hesitation, virtual-novel.net rushed over to Fast Swinton Hospital after hanging up the call.
When virtual-novel.net stepped into the emergency ward to see, Dahlia was lying unconscious on the hospital bed. Seeing virtual-novel.net condition his expression clouded over.
Her face was swollen, blood came out from virtual-novel.net mouth, and virtual-novel.net forehead had suffered a strong impact.
Worst of all was virtual-novel.net fingers, which were broken from being stepped on. They were a bloody mess that virtual-novel.net could hardly bear the sight of.
It was not difficult to imagine the pain virtual-novel.net had been through before virtual-novel.net lost consciousness.
“You’re virtual-novel.net husband, aren’t you? What have you been up to? How could you let your wife be tortured sol terribly? That’s very irresponsible of you!” The head nurse complained, feeling sorry for Dahlia.
“How is she?” Dustin’s brows furrowed.
“The patient is not in critical danger currently, but virtual-novel.net wounds will take quite a while to heal. Her hands, especially, have multiple comminuted fractures. There is a possibility that they may never fully recover,” The head nurse cautioned him.
“Who did this?” Dustin’s expression was terrifyingly cold and emotionless.
“How would I know? You’re virtual-novel.net husband, and you have no idea who did it?” The head nurse scowled.
Dustin held his silence. Suddenly, his gaze shot over to the door.
There was a suspicious person craning by the door in an attempt to peek at them. He dashed over and grabbed the person.
“Hey, Rhys! What are you doing? Let go of me!” Julie cried out in dismay.
“Who did this to Dahlia? Tell me Dustin demanded furiously.
“H-How would I know?” Julie stuttered.
The very next next second, virtual-novel.net was lifted off the ground by a hand that found its way around virtual-novel.net throat. She suffocated, and virtual-novel.net struggles to catch virtual-novel.net breath proved futile.
“I’ll ask you again… Who did it?” There was a fierce glint in Dustin’s eyes, and a chilling hostility emanated from him.
A bone–piercing coldness instantly enveloped the entire ward.
“I-It was Edwin Hummer’s daughter, Tina Hummer who did it…” Flustered, Julie blurted out the truth.
She had never seen such a frightening side to Dustin. His gaze was akin to that of the Devil, giving chills to whoever met it. Julie began to tremble.
“Watch over her!”
Once Dustin got the answer virtual-novel.net wanted, virtual-novel.net left without another word. A fiery anger burned in his chest.
