An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 559

Chapter 559 

“He spiked the wine?” Everyone looked at Dylan in shock. If that was the case, then it would make sense for Dustin to refuse the drink. 

“You What nonsense!” Dylan had a sinking feeling, but he forced himself to appear composed as he roared, “Do you know who I am? Why would I spike your drink? You’re dragging my reputation through the mud!” He had no idea how Dustin could tell that the wine had been spiked, but there was no way he was going to admit to doing it. 

“That’s right! My cousin offered you a drink, and you not only turned him down, but you even accused him of such dirty tricks? You truly are cunning!” Kate feigned anger. 

“Hah! I think someone’s just here to cause trouble!” 

“What a heinous crime to slander a military officer!” 

“We should just kick him out! He’s despicable!” 

In a clamor of voices, the crowd accused and scolded Dustin. With their preconceived notions, they clearly believed Dylan more than they did Dustin. 

“Dustin, do you have any proof for claiming that Dylan spiked the wine?” Hector asked.

“We believe in you, Mr. Harmon! It’s just a glass of wine. Drink it and show him!” 

“That’s right! Prove it to him that you have done no such thing! Put him to shame!” 

“Yes, Dylan, drink it! We’re all rooting for you!” 

The crowd began cheering Dylan on, acting like they were all that righteous. 

The corners of Dylan’s lips twitched as he sweated profusely. With so many eyes on him, he’d raise suspicion if he refused to drink the wine, but if he did, he’d lose control over his bowels and make a fool of himself. He’d be in such a terrible mess. Caught in a dilemma, he had no way out of the predicament. He had only intended to teach Dustin a lesson. Who’d have guessed he’d put
