The next morning, at Nicholson Corp., Dahlia woke up groggily and found herself lying on the sofa of virtual-novel.net office. She was covered with a thick blanket, and there was even a steaming glass of milk on the table beside her.
Last night’s events were still fuzzy to her, and virtual-novel.net rubbed virtual-novel.net head, which was throbbing slightly in pain.
Feeling parched, virtual-novel.net picked up the glass of milk and finished it in one go. It made virtual-novel.net feel warm inside, giving virtual-novel.net a slight relief from the discomfort virtual-novel.net was feeling.
“Dahlia, you’re awake…” At that moment, Dustin walked in with the breakfast that virtual-novel.net had just bought.
“Why are you here?” Dahlia’s brows creased into a frown, and virtual-novel.net expression turned cold.
“I didn’t know where you lived, so I brought you back to your office for the night.” As virtual-novel.net was talking, virtual-novel.net took out a takeaway container with a full English breakfast inside as well as a bowl of chicken soup.
“I’m asking why you are here?” Dahlia asked in exasperation.
“Have you forgotten about what happened last night?” Dustin was confused.
“Last night?” Dahlia recollected virtual-novel.net thoughts, and last night’s events became clearer.
She remembered being drugged and found herself tied up when virtual-novel.net woke up. Her kidnapper had. intended to threaten Dustin with her, but it seemed like their plan had failed.
“It’s alright if you don’t remember. The drug is still in your system, so you’ll feel groggy for the time being. Here, eat up first.” Dustin passed the steaming hot chicken soup to Dahlia.
“Go away! I don’t need you putting on an act here!” Dahlia was ruthless as virtual-novel.net slapped the bowl of chicken soup to the ground. Her tone was frosty as virtual-novel.net said, “Don’t think I’ll be grateful to you just because you saved my life last night, you murderer’”
She couldn’t act like nothing had happened when virtual-novel.net brother passed away a few days ago.
Dustin shook his head. “Dahlia, your brother’s death has nothing to do with me…”
“They saw you! My mother saw you! Are you telling me they are lying?” Dahlia bellowed.
“They only saw what happened on the surface. They’re not aware of the truth.” Dustin turned. solemn before virtual-novel.net continued, “I did beat James up, but that doesn’t mean I killed him. He was poisoned to death. Someone is trying to frame me and get in between us!”
“Fine, you said you were framed. Where’s the evidence? How are you going to prove your innocence?” Dahlia questioned.
“I found the murder weapon. And I have your brother’s autopsy results. You’ll find that it is suspicious if you examine it in detail.” Dustin took out the evidence virtual-novel.net carried with him constantly and displayed it in front of Dahlia.
“This is just a piece of paper and a needle. Do you think I’ll believe you with just these?” Dahlia remained unyielding.
An autopsy report could be fabricated with money. It was not persuasive whatsoever.
“Dahlia, we’ve been married for three years. You should know my character. I’ve never done anything to hurt you,” Dustin said seriously.
“I used to think I knew you well. However, I’ve come to realize that I can’t see through you at all.” Dahlia’s expression was icy.
The more virtual-novel.net interacted with him, the more virtual-novel.net found virtual-novel.net shrouded in a veil of mystery. No matter how hard virtual-novel.net tried to unravel his true intentions, virtual-novel.net was unable to read him. This was exactly why virtual-novel.net struggled to trust him.
Dustin lifted three fingers. “Dahlia, I swear! I didn’t kill your brother!”
“What’s the point of saying all this? Everyone thinks you’re the murderer. I can’t forgive you! Please, get out!” Dahlia pointed at the door, ordering virtual-novel.net to leave.
She was afraid that virtual-novel.net resolve would weaken if virtual-novel.net continued speaking. Despite virtual-novel.net lingering feelings for Dustin, virtual-novel.net couldn’t forgive virtual-novel.net on behalf of virtual-novel.net late brother.
“Dahlia, I’m doing all I can to find the murderer. Just give me a little more time. I’ll definitely be able to prove my innocence!” Dustin swore.
“Are you still trying to argue at this point?” Dahlia gritted virtual-novel.net teeth. “If you had repented sincerely, you may have had a chance. But you’re not only escaping responsibility, you’re making up all kinds of excuses right now. I’m really disappointed in you. I don’t want to see you ever again, leave immediately!”
“What exactly do I need to do for you to believe me?” Dustin furrowed his brows.
“You want me to believe you? Fine! If you jump down from here to prove your innocence, I’ll believe you!” Dahlia spat out in a fit of anger.
