Chapter 64
Afraid he might lie, Serena threatened him coldly. “If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll crush your eyeballs and make sure you’re blind for the rest of your life.”
The man was terrified. He knew Serena was absolutely capable of doing it.
He said, “Okay, I’ll talk. Dylan sent us. He told us to deal with you. You’ve been going against him, and he doesn’t want you staying in this city anymore. He wants you gone for good.”
At the same time, Dylan, who had seen that something was wrong, rushed to the scene.
When Dylan heard the man’s words, his gaze turned dark and heavy.
Serena released the man. She turned around and saw Dylan standing not far away.
Their eyes met. Dylan’s heart tightened. ‘She believed what that man just said, didn’t she?‘ he thought.
“Stella,” Dylan said.
“Shut up, Dylan,” Serena snapped. “So this is what you really think of me. I’ve been nothing but an eyesore to you in this city.”
She smiled bitterly as she picked up her bag and still called the police.
She was done putting up with it.
“Stella, I didn’t do this,” Dylan said, staring at her intently as he stepped toward her. His presence pressed down on her with overwhelming force.
Serena lowered her phone and looked straight at him, disappointment written all over her face. “Dylan, you said the thing with Pierre was an accident, too. Tonight, that man admitted it, and you’re still saying it wasn’t you? Were you trying to kill me?”
She lowered her gaze to the men on the ground who couldn’t get back up, then looked back at Dylan with a cold, mocking smile. “Dylan, let’s make a bet. You’ll die before I do.”
“Stella, that’s enough,” Dylan roared.
Serena handed everything over to the police. Without sparing Dylan another glance, she turned around and walked away.
Dylan was stopped by the police for questioning and had no chance to explain anything to Stella.
He watched her leave. Blood was flowing freely from her injured arm, yet she didn’t seem to care at all. Dylan was furious and confused.
‘I don’t know these men at all. Why would they say I sent them?‘ he wondered.

Only then did Dylan suddenly understand, someone was setting him up behind the scenes. ‘So this is what it feels like not to be believed,‘ he thought.
Not far away, a man slipped away furtively. Once inside his car, he immediately called Jasper.
At that moment, Jasper was drinking with a woman at a bar. When he saw the call from his subordinate, he assumed everything had gone smoothly and answered cheerfully. “Hello?”
The man explained, “Mr. Lambert, something’s wrong. It blew up. They didn’t catch Stella. Instead, they all got taken to the police department.
“The problem is, Dylan was at the scene when the truth came out. Dylan showed up. Once they investigate this, it’ll definitely lead back to us.”
The sip of alcohol Jasper had just taken sprayed straight out of his mouth.
His pupils widened in disbelief. “Dylan was there, too?”
“Yes, Mr. Lambert. What should I do now?” the man asked anxiously.
Jasper sneered, “Relax. They took my money. They won’t sell me out. At most, they’ll tell Dylan it was all a misunderstanding. That’s something I arranged in advance. Come back.”
