Chapter 206
“D–Dustin Rhys? How could it be him?!” After learning the truth, Florence and the others looked at each other
for a while, disbelief written on their faces.
Never in a million years had they considered that it wasn’t Matt who saved Julie, but the person they had
dubbed ungrateful.
This was simply a slap in the face!
*So Dustin never framed Julie in the first place, and it was you guys… purposely slinging mud at him?” Dahlia stood rooted to the ground, expressionless.
Her face was as white as a sheet.
“W–who slung mud at him? I bet he’s feeling guilty because he knows what he did wrong, so he’s trying to
make things up to us!” Florence insisted stubbornly.
She was used to bossing people around; of course, she would never admit that she had gotten the wrong idea
about Dustin.
That would be too humiliating.
“Mom, things have already come to this, and you still want to justify yourself?” Dahlia bit her lip. Even her heart was clenching.
“How am I justifying myself? If that Rhys bastard hadn’t framed Julie, why would he have saved her? In the end, he was just feeling guilty for doing something wrong!” Florence insisted indignantly.
“That’s right! If he didn’t do it, why did he save her?” James echoed.
“I’ve really had enough of you guys!” Dahlia’s emotions finally exploded.
“Why? Why do you always have to pick on Dustin? What exactly did he do to you? Must you purposely pick. fights with nim? In our three years of marriage, he has always been honest and agreeable, but you have
always had a prejudice against him. Even though he had never done anything wrong, you kept pushing blame on him again and again. Could you really be so blinded to how good he is?”
She
e was basically roaring by the end of her tirade.
Everyone was scared stiff.
After that spiel, Dahlia couldn’t stand it anymore. She threw the door open and left.
She got in her car and sped down the road.
She regretted being so impulsive; she regretted belleving her mother’s words; and she regretted. misunderstanding Dustin.
After all it wasn’t the first time something like this happened.
