“What… What did you say?” Sheila was dumbfounded and in disbelief. “You kidnapped me? You

guys… have been lying to me?”

“That’s right. We did lie to you,” Diego admitted to it plainly. “However, you can only blame yourself for

being a fool. You can’t tell right from wrong at all. All it took was a few words to convince you. You’re

the biggest idiot ever!”

“So… I misunderstood Dustin? I was the one who hurt him without knowing the truth?” Sheila was

trembling as tears streamed down her face. A wave of regret washed over her. She never expected the

truth to turn out that way.

She thought her cousin wouldn’t deceive her. She thought her friends would never lie to her. She

thought Dustin had really been scheming against her.

But Deigo’s words had made her realize that everything she had known was a lie. Jayden had

deceived her, her good friends had lied to her, and Dustin had been the only one helping and saving

her.

Yet, she wasn’t only ungrateful; she even kicked him out of the house. Because of a few ridiculous

remarks, she had deeply hurt the person who truly cared about her. What had she done? Why was she

such a fool?

“Why? Why did you lie to me?” Sheila turned her attention to Evan, Vivian, and the rest of the group.

She looked at them in doubt and confusion, unable to understand why her friends would lie to her.

When Evan’s and Vivian’s group met Sheila’s gaze, they lowered their heads in silence. They didn’t

expect Diego to openly challenge the Murrays and expose them, either.

“Dustin, I’m sorry… I’m so sorry. I didn’t know things would turn out this way. Tears streamed

uncontrollably down her face as Sheila gazed at Dustin among the crowd. She was overwhelmed with

shame, regret, and sorrow. Still, she only had herself to blame. She had always despised people who

repaid kindness with enmity, yet she had become one of them.

“Ms. Sheila, this is not the time to discuss these things. You should ensure your safety first.” Dustin

shook his head slightly.

He didn’t harbor any resentment toward her, but they could never go back to being friends. Some

things were just irreparable.

“Dustin…” Sheila wanted to explain, but she didn’t know where to start. She could sense a shift in

Dustin’s gaze. It had grown distant and devoid of its former warmth.

“Enough with your chattering! Order your men to disarm! Otherwise, I’ll kill her!” Diego was getting

impatient and pressed the knife deeper against her skin. Blood dripped continuously onto the ground

as Sheila’s wound grew bigger. It was a horrifying sight.

“Stop it! I’m warning you not to try anything! If anything happens to my daughter, I will crush you to

death!”

Caden roared in anger. “She’s in my hands now. I call the shots here. I’m going to count to three. Lay

down your weapons, or I’ll cut off her arm first!” Diego threatened.

“Bourbon, you old dog! If your grandson hurts my granddaughter, even if I lose my life in the will make

sure to kill him!” Christopher bellowed sternly. process, I “Old friend, you might want to take care of

yourself first,” Antonio said mockingly.

Although Christopher was heavily injured, he didn’t dare underestimate him. That was why he was on

constant alert to prevent him from attempting something.

“Three…” Deigo started the countdown.

“You son of a bitch! Don’t you dare!” Caden screamed in anger.

“Two…” Deigo didn’t seem afraid. “Caden, untie me from the Dragon Rope. I can save your daughter,”

Dustin suddenly spoke.

He had been bound by the Dragon Rope and was rendered immobile. Unless he activated his secret

technique, he couldn’t break free.

“You? What makes you think you can save her?” Caden frowned.
