Chapter 645

The next morning, at Nicholson Corp., Dahlia woke up groggily and found herself lying on the sofa of her office. She

was covered with a thick blanket, and there was even a steaming glass of milk

on the table beside her.

Last night’s events were still fuzzy to her, and she rubbed her head, which was throbbing slightly in pain. Feeling

parched, she picked up the glass of milk and finished it in one go. It made her feel warm inside, giving her a slight

relief from the discomfort she was feeling.

“Dahlia, you’re awake.” At that moment, Dustin walked in with the breakfast that he had just

bought.

“Why are you here?” Dahlia’s brows creased into a frown, and her expression turned cold.

“I didn’t know where you lived, so I brought you back to your office for the night.” As he was talking, he took out a

takeaway container with a full English breakfast inside as well as a bowl of chicken soup.

“I’m asking why you are here?” Dahlia asked in exasperation.

“Have you forgotten about what happened last night?” Dustin was confused.

“Last night?” Dahlia recollected her thoughts, and last night’s events became clearer. She remembered being

drugged and found herself tied up when she woke up. Her kidnapper had. intended to threaten Dustin with her, but

it seemed like their plan had failed.

“It’s alright if you don’t remember. The drug is still in your system, so you’ll feel groggy for the time being. Here,

eat up first.” Dustin passed the steaming hot chicken soup to Dahlia.

“Go away! I don’t need you putting on an act here!” Dahlia was ruthless as she slapped the bowl of chicken soup to

the ground. Her tone was frosty as she said, “Don’t think I’ll be grateful to you just because you saved my life last

night, you murderer’” She couldn’t act like nothing had happened when her brother passed away a few days ago.

Dustin shook his head. “Dahlia, your brother’s death has nothing to do with me.”

“They saw you! My mother saw you! Are you telling me they are lying?” Dahlia bellowed.

“They only saw what happened on the surface. They’re not aware of the truth.” Dustin turned. solemn before he

continued, “I did beat James up, but that doesn’t mean I killed him. He was poisoned to death. Someone is trying to

frame me and get in between us!”

“Fine, you said you were framed. Where’s the evidence? How are you going to prove your innocence?” Dahlia

questioned.

“I found the murder weapon. And I have your brother’s autopsy results. You’ll find that it is suspicious if you

examine it in detail.” Dustin took out the evidence he carried with him.

constantly and displayed it in front of Dahlia.

“This is just a piece of paper and a needle. Do you think I’ll believe you with just these?” Dahlia remained

unyielding. An autopsy report could be fabricated with money. It was not persuasive whatsoever.

“Dahlia, we’ve been married for three years. You should know my character. I’ve never done

anything to hurt you,” Dustin said seriously. 2

“I used to think I knew you well. However, I’ve come to realize that I can’t see through you at all.” Dahlia’s

expression was icy. The more she interacted with him, the more she found him shrouded in a veil of mystery. No

matter how hard she tried to unravel his true intentions, she was unable to read him. This was exactly why she

struggled to trust him.

Dustin lifted three fingers. “Dahlia, I swear! I didn’t kill your brother!”

“What’s the point of saying all this? Everyone thinks you’re the murderer. I can’t forgive you! Please, get out!”

Dahlia pointed at the door, ordering him to leave. She was afraid that her resolve would weaken if he continued

speaking. Despite her lingering feelings for Dustin, she couldn’t forgive him on behalf of her late brother.

“Dahlia, I’m doing all I can to find the murderer. Just give me a little more time. I’ll definitely be able to prove my

innocence!” Dustin swore.

“Are you still trying to argue at this point?” Dahlia gritted her teeth. “If you had repented. sincerely, you may have

had a chance. But you’re not only escaping responsibility; you’re making up all kinds of excuses right now. I’m really

disappointed in you. I don’t want to see you ever again; leave immediately!”

“What exactly do I need to do for you to believe me?” Dustin furrowed his brows.

“You want me to believe you? Fine! If you jump down from here to prove your innocence, I’ll believe you!” Dahlia

spat out in a fit of anger.
