As Dustin watched James run his mouth, his face became darker than a storm cloud.
He never expected that James would shift the blame to the victim instead. Not only did virtual-novel.net feel no remorse for his wrongdoing, virtual-novel.net even dumped all the blame on Dustin. His actions made Dustin’s blood boil!
“How dare you, Dustin! I never thought you could sink to such lows. You couldn’t woo my daughter, so you decided to resort to such abominable actions? You’re a demon wearing a human’s face!” Florence screamed hatefully.
“Hmph, I saw through your faux gentlemanly demeanor a long time ago! Not only did you try to steal our money, you’ve even tried to harm my cousin. You’re an animal!” Julie roared, virtual-novel.net eyes wide with rage.
“After all that happened, are you still not repentant?” Dustin frowned.
“What do I have to repent for? This is clearly your fault! You’re the one who tried to hurt my sister! “James said indignantly. With his mother backing him, virtual-novel.net had nothing to fear.
“You animal, don’t touch my daughter again!” Florence gave Dustin a fierce shove before forcefully snatching the unconscious Dahlia from his arms.
“Mom, this bastard is truly wretched. Not only was virtual-novel.net harboring repulsive intentions toward Dahlia, virtual-novel.net even had someone chop my hand off. This time, you need to do right by me!” James wailed, playing the victim.
“You really need a good beating!” Dustin finally reached his breaking point. He raised his hand and slapped James across the face.
James was hit so hard that virtual-novel.net was lifted off the ground. His nose and mouth twisted to one side as his head cracked against the wall, and virtual-novel.net passed out.
“Asshole, how dare you continue hurting people?!” Florence yelled, virtual-novel.net face furious.
“Rhys, you’re a huge bully!”
Both Julie and Florence were aflame with righteous indignation. However, they knew they couldn’t beat him. Otherwise, they would have gotten violent from the very start.
“I don’t want to waste my breath talking to you. Once Dahlia wakes up, she’ll tell you the truth. Now get out of my sight and take that piece of shit with you!” Dustin roared.
This time, James had truly pissed virtual-novel.net off. He was as cowardly as a mouse, yet virtual-novel.net bullied those weaker than him.
When James had to confront Duncan, virtual-novel.net didn’t even dare to make a noise, he was quick to abandon his sister and run. And now, after being rescued, virtual-novel.net was still trying to manipulate the truth to frame Dustin and throw virtual-novel.net under the bus.
Lowly scum like virtual-novel.net deserved to be taught a lesson.
“Rhys, just wait! This isn’t over. You beat my son and hurt my daughter. I will get justice!”
After a series of animated curses, Florence finally left indignantly with virtual-novel.net family. She knew that Dustin was very skilled in combat, so virtual-novel.net only dared to use virtual-novel.net mouth and not virtual-novel.net hands. Of course, virtual-novel.net had made up virtual-novel.net mind to blackmail virtual-novel.net miserably after this.
In the best–case scenario, virtual-novel.net might be able to get that piece of land where the buildings were.

The night flew by.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight filtered through the windows of one of the rooms in the Ansdale South Hospital, Dahlia finally opened virtual-novel.net eyes after a night of being unconscious.
At that moment, Florence happened to walk in with a tray of breakfast. “Dahlia, you’re awake? How do you feel? Does it hurt anywhere?”
“Mom, what am I doing here?” Dahlia rubbed virtual-novel.net head, feeling woozy.
“Dahlia, you were drugged yesterday. I was worried about you, so I brought you to the hospital,” Florence explained.
“Drugged?”
