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.
“Exactly! Don’t go around making accusations without any proof!” Some of the Harmons were indignant.
“You want proof? It’s simple.” Dustin picked up the glass of wine and placed it in front of Dylan. Since you claim that you didn’t spike it, why don’t you drink this to prove there’s nothing wrong with the wine?”
Dylan’s face fell. He would make a mess of himself if he drank that.
“Why should he? Just because you say so? Who do you think you are?” Kate defended Dylan.
“That’s right! Who do you think you are? And what right do you have to make me drink it?” Dylan challenged.
“Oh, so you dare not drink it then?” Dustin sniggered.
