Chapter 150
After staggering back to her ward, Dahlia felt as if her soul had left her body.
She had a dead expression on her face, and her eyes were dull. She didn’t realize that her bandaged hand was still dripping with blood.
She remembered Dustin’s disappointed gaze on her before he left, and it felt like a knife that kept stabbing at her heart. She knew that the two of them had grown further and further apart.
In the past, she had always been career–oriented, as she was determined to carve her own path, which is why she ignored and sacrificed many things along the way.
However, since the day of their divorce, she slowly started to realize something. It turns out that there are things in life that were more important than one’s career. However, it was a shame that she only realized this
now.
“Honey, I just heard that- Florence said as she burst into the room upon seeing Dahlia enter inside moments
before.
“I just heard that it was that Rhys kid who was the one who laid hands on Ms. Hummer and used her life as bait to get the Hummer family to apologize to us. He was merely using underhanded tactics the entire time!”
“That’s right! This Dustin guy, to make a name for himself, committed such heinous and shameless acts
without a care for his reputation at all! James echoed.
Initially, they were shocked to find out that Dustin was the one who had helped them behind the scenes, but after digging for more details, they realized that it wasn’t that the Hummers were scared of Dustin, but that it was Dustin who used despicable means to get them to do what he wanted, which was why they came and
apologized in person.
So although it seemed as though he was a force to be reckoned with, in reality, he had merely backed them
into a corner!
“Mom, can you all just leave, please? I just want to be alone for now,” Dahlia responded flatly, she didn’t even
flinch at the news.
“Honey, even if we’ve misunderstood Dustin, so what? The matter still stands that he’s the one who’s at fault
here. He was just making up for his mistakes. We don’t owe him anything!” Florence continued.
“I’m tired, Mom. I just want to rest now. Please go outside,” Dahlia requested again.
“But honey…” Florence whined.
“Just leave me alone!” Dahlia yelled sternly.
Seeing the scowl on her face, Florence said nothing more and proceeded to usher everyone out of the room.
“Who would’ve thought that the biggest contributor to the matter would be Dustin, while the person who
surprised us the most was Mr. Laney.”
*Fucking bigshots! To think we let him scare us like that. It’s already a good thing that we didn’t disturb him
Chapter 150
for anything!”
“Then what should we do? If we don’t cut him into pieces, I don’t think my hatred toward him is ever going to subside!” Tina shouted with a fierce gaze.
“There’s no need to rush things. Just hold it in for a few more days. I’ve already informed your brother about this matter. After he clears customs in a few days, he’ll make his return to Swinton, and that’s when he’ll exact your revenge for you. When that time comes, I doubt if the punk can make any waves, no matter how strong he is!* Edwin said as he narrowed his eyes.
