Chapter 602
Dahlia thought about it long and hard before finally recalling what happened in the casino last night.
She had drank two glasses and passed out with no recollection of what happened
afterward, but it seemed like she was safe.
“This is all that bastard’s fault! If Dustin didn’t harbor any ill intentions toward you and your
brother, none of this would have happened to the both of you!” Florence exploded.
“Dustin? What does any of this have to do with him?” Dahlia was puzzled.
“I bet you still have no idea that he conspired with the owner of the casino to drug you. He was going to
take advantage of you. Fortunately, James fought back and managed to save you,” Florence replied.
“Mom, there must be some kind of mistake.” Dahlia smiled. “Dustin would never hurt me, much
less use such dirty tactics. You’ve got it all wrong.”
“Oh, Dahlia. You get tricked all the time because of how naive you are.” Florence retorted, her face

actually rotten to the core!”
“Mom, Dustin isn’t that kind of person.” Dahlia frowned in displeasure. She knew what kind of man
Dustin was, and he definitely wasn’t the kind of person Florence was describing.
“You didn’t get to witness how disgusting he truly is last night. He didn’t just touch you; he also beat
James up. Thanks to that, your brother is still unconscious in the hospital right now!”
Florence fumed.
“Dustin beat up James? No way.” Dahlia was skeptical.
“I saw it with my own eyes. Why would I lie to you? Your aunt and cousin were there too. You can ask
them if you don’t believe me.” Florence retorted confidently.
“I know Dustin very well. If he hit James, then James must have done something wrong,” Dahlia
quickly replied.
“Hey! How could you defend an outsider? James is the victim here, yet you’re defending that bastard!
What on earth are you thinking?” Florence shrieked.
“Mom, there must be a misunderstanding. I refuse to believe that Dustin would hit someone for no
reason.” Dahlia shook her head adamantly.
Although she wasn’t sure about what happened yesterday night, Dustin clearly helped get her to safety
because she had left him a text before going to the casino as a precaution.
“Hmph! That brute hit James because he was angry that his tricks got exposed!” Florence seethed.
“I still-” Before Dahlia could continue her sentence, Julie barged into the room anxiously, yelling, “Aunt
Florence, bad news! James‘ condition suddenly took a turn for the worse, and he’s been sent
to the operating room!”
“What? The operating room?” Florence was shocked, “Wasn’t he fine last night? Why did his condition
suddenly worsen?”

“I’m not too sure either, but the doctor said that things were very serious. You should hurry over
immediately!” Julie urged.
“Right! Let’s go!” Florence quickly dashed out of the room. Dahlia immediately put on her shoes
and followed after her mother.
When they reached the operating room waiting room, they could do nothing but pace and wait
anxiously for the results. It wasn’t until three hours later that the doors opened again, and several
doctors and nurses emerged, looking drained.
“Doctor, how is my son doing? Is he alright?” Florence asked fearfully.
The surgeon sighed regretfully and replied, “I’m sorry. We tried our best, but we were unable to bring
the patient back. He has passed away.”
“What?” Everyone was shocked, their faces frozen in disbelief.
“D–dead?” As if struck by lightning, Florence’s knees went weak, and she sank to the floor,
devastated.
