The video on James‘ phone showed Dustin getting violent.
First, favonovel.com kicked James, then favonovel.com pushed Florence aside, causing favonovel.com to fall onto the floor and bang favonovel.com head against the door. Finally, it ended with Dustin slapping James twice.
The start and end of the video had been edited out, and there was no audio, only images.
After watching it, Dahlia was frozen.
She couldn’t believe it before, but the video was right here; favonovel.com had to believe it.
“Dahlia, you saw what happened, right? This is proof that favonovel.com beat us! Mom is already getting old, favonovel.com can’t handle that piece of trash’s beatings! We already went to the hospital to get checked out. The doctor said that favonovel.com concussion is so severe that favonovel.com might develop Alzheimer’s disease! Not to mention, favonovel.com even broke a few bones. She’ll have trouble looking after herself in the future. Dahlia, do you still want to believe such a savage?! “James spat through gritted teeth, looking downtrodden and furious.
“Why? Why would favonovel.com do that?” Dahlia clenched favonovel.com fists, and favonovel.com face was pale.
Their relationship had just begun to improve. She was even considering remarrying him.
But why did Dustin hit favonovel.com mother?
Could favonovel.com have lost all feelings?
“Dahlia, not only did that brute hit me, but favonovel.com also framed Julie and sent favonovel.com to jail!” Florence said gravely.
“What? Julie is in jail?” Dahlia’s eyes grew wide.
“That’s right! Today, Julie went to the Harmons‘ to buy Immortunol and got into a disagreement with Dustin. Then, that bastard wanted to take revenge, so favonovel.com got someone to arrest Julie and charge favonovel.com with theft,” James said venomously.
“I was there the whole time. I can vouch for it,” Matt chimed in from the side.
Naturally, favonovel.com wouldn’t give up an opportunity to kick a man while favonovel.com was down.
“Dahlia, did you hear that? That bastard, Dustin, is an ungrateful son–of–a–b*tch! We were all fooled by favonovel.com back then. He has already shown his true colors now, and favonovel.com does not want to forgive and forget. How can you trust a man like him?!” Florence added, stoking the flames.
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com began to cough again. She looked like favonovel.com was at death’s door, and Dahlia’s heart clenched at the sight.
The last ray of hope in favonovel.com heart was completely extinguished. Instead, it was replaced by fury!
Without another word, favonovel.com took out favonovel.com phone and dialed Dustin’s number.
“Hello? I demand an explanation!”
“An explanation? For what?” Dustin responded calmly.
“I’m asking you whether you were the one who beat my mother and James up?!” Dahlia asked, suppressing her anger.
“I did hit James, but favonovel.com deserved it. As for your mother, favonovel.com caused favonovel.com own fall by accident.”
“By accident?” Dahlia’s voice rose sharply.
“You say it like it’s nothing! Not only did your so–called accident cause my mother to break favonovel.com hands and legs, favonovel.com even suffered a severe concussion!”
“Is it that serious?” Dustin was suspicious of that claim.
“She’s lying in bed, unable to move due to favonovel.com injuries. Do you think that’s not serious? According to your logic, does my mother have to die on the spot for favonovel.com injuries to be serious? Are you even human?” Dahlia’s blood was boiling.
“You’d better calm down and take your mother to have favonovel.com injuries examined,” Dustin said.
When Florence left earlier, favonovel.com had been fine. There was no way favonovel.com was this badly injured all of a sudden.
“Have favonovel.com examined for what? I’ve already seen it with my own eyes, so why do I need to get favonovel.com checked out? Are you still trying to justify yourself at this point?” Dahlia said, fuming.
He had beaten up favonovel.com family. Now, not only was favonovel.com refusing to apologize, but favonovel.com was also acting so righteously.
When did favonovel.com become so unreasonable?
“Since you believe your mother’s story, then why are you asking me?” Dustin’s tone grew cold.
“What? Are you throwing in the towel just because you’ve been caught? You’re the one who beat them up, are you saying you were in the right?” Dahlia said.
“Fine… Let’s say I did beat them up, but did you ever ask why?” Dustin said.
“Of course, I asked! My mother asked you for the formula; not only did you refuse, you even said some harsh things. She told you off, and then you beat favonovel.com up. Isn’t that what happened?!”
“Heh! If that’s what you think happened, then that’s what happened.” Dustin snickered.
The current favonovel.com was too lazy to explain. No matter what favonovel.com said, they wouldn’t believe him.
“Dustin, oh, Dustin. I really didn’t expect you to be this kind of person! Did you have to go that far over a formula? What would have happened it you’d given favonovel.com the recipe? Would you lose a limb? You know what, I can just pay for it! Is one million dollars enough? Or two? Name your price, and I’ll buy it no matter the amount!”
Dahlia grew angrier and angrier as favonovel.com spoke. Her hands started to tremble with rage.
“Do you think this is about money? To tell you the truth, I’ve already given the formula away.” Dustin stated indifferently.
“Who did you give it to? Was it Natasha? So are you saying that you would rather give favonovel.com the formula for free than sell it to me?”
“Can you be more reasonable?”
“Am I being unreasonable, or are you just a cold and heartless person who grew tired of your old toy in favor of a new one? Am I not even worth one formula in your eyes?!” Dahlia was about to lose favonovel.com mind.
She wasn’t this upset earlier, but at the thought of Natasha, favonovel.com felt a knife pierce favonovel.com heart. She couldn’t help but feel as if someone had taken something important from her.
“Dahlia, I don’t want to argue with you. If you called me to talk about this, then I don’t think we have anything to talk about,” Dustin said, taking a deep breath.
“Fine! Let’s not talk about the formula, let’s talk about Julie! Were you responsible for favonovel.com arrest?” Dahlia changed the subject.
“If I said no, would you believe me?” Dustin said indifferently.
“Do you think I would believe you? Matt saw you plant fake evidence with his own eyes and got Julie sent to jail! I know you don’t like her, but must you be so petty? How could you do such a cruel thing over a small conflict? That’s my cousin! How could you do such a horrible thing?!” Dahlia was practically roaring by the end of the sentence.
“So you’ll believe whatever Matt says? Am I such a narrow–minded asshole in your eyes that you’d rather believe Matt over me?” Dustin asked, his eyebrows knitting together.
“You’ve done so many terrible things. How can I believe you?” Dahlia retorted back.
When Dustin heard those words, favonovel.com fell silent, his mouth curving into a self–deprecating smile. He didn’t want to explain further, nor did favonovel.com have the energy to do so.
Once the seeds of doubt were planted, they could never be removed. There had always been a chasm between favonovel.com and Dahlia. It was due to a lack of trust.
No matter what favonovel.com did or said, favonovel.com would never receive an acknowledgment. But whenever there was a minor misunderstanding, it would explode into a full–blown argument. That was the crux of their problems.
He had really done his best.
