“Evidence? Where is it?” Dahlia was taken aback.
“It’s with me now.” It appeared that Dustin came prepared, as virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net had the evidence, it would be hard to convince virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net eyes turned red.
She lowered virtual-novel.net head and choked back virtual-novel.net tears. Her teary appearance looked pitiful, anyone who saw virtual-novel.net would pity her.
“It’s alright. It’s all in the past now.” Dustin patted virtual-novel.net shoulders in comfort.
His actions seemed to shatter all virtual-novel.net reservations, and virtual-novel.net threw herself into his arms, virtual-novel.net sobs intensified. She trembled uncontrollably as a steady stream of tears flowed down virtual-novel.net cheeks.
Dahlia finally released all the pent-up emotions that virtual-novel.net had suppressed for so long.
Dustin sighed.
With both arms wrapped around virtual-novel.net in an embrace, virtual-novel.net inched closer to virtual-novel.net and whispered words of comfort into virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net looked up in shock. “Wh-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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net a vague.
“I’m going to kill you!” In virtual-novel.net fury, virtual-novel.net took out a dagger and aimed it toward Dustin’s throat.
A slap rang out as Dustin struck Dahlia mercilessly, causing virtual-novel.net to fall to the floor. The dagger slipped from virtual-novel.net grasp and clattered onto the ground as well.
“You!” Dahlia’s face was disfigured.
She was about to get up when Dustin grabbed virtual-novel.net by the throat and pinned virtual-novel.net against the wall.
“Ugh…” Dahlia gasped for breath, and virtual-novel.net face flushed red.
She struggled to free herself but to no avail. Dustin’s grip was like an iron vice that clamped tightly around virtual-novel.net neck.
“How are you planning on avenging your brother with your meager strength?” With just one hand, Dustin lifted virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net enticing voluptuous figure.
She looked extremely provocative.
