Looking at all the hostile faces around him, Dustin smiled an imperceptible cold smile.
They really didn’t know what was good for them. If favonovel.com had known earlier, favonovel.com wouldn’t have saved anyone. Now, favonovel.com not only ended up failing to get into anyone’s good books but even brought trouble unto himself.
How unlucky!
“Why so quiet, Dustin? Is it because you’re feeling too guilty, so you don’t dare to speak a word?” Quentin said aggressively. He looked as if favonovel.com wanted to get to the bottom of things.
“You’ve already said everything there is to be said. What else can I say?” Dustin snorted and continued, “I saved your lives, but you keep insisting that I poisoned you and speaking so self–righteously. I’ve never met anyone as ungrateful as you bunch…”
“Humph! How dare you still defend yourself?!” Quentin’s gaze was icy as favonovel.com said, “If you didn’t poison us, then why don’t you explain why you have the antidote?”
“That’s right! Why would you have the antidote?!”
Everyone started demanding loudly. The incident was too much of a coincidence: it was difficult for people not to be suspicious.
“I’m a doctor, and I’m also proficient at medicine. Isn’t it normal for me to cure you guys from the poison?” Dustin said plainly.
“I can vouch that Dustin is indeed a very skillful doctor!” Natasha said firmly.
“Me too!” Ruth added.
They believed firmly in Dustin’s medical skills and character.
“Fine, even if you’re a doctor and happened to have the antidote, then tell me why you didn’t get poisoned. Don’t tell me it’s because you have a strong immune system, so no poison can harm you,” Quentin demanded.
“You’re right. I am indeed immune to all poison,” Dustin said seriously.
With his capabilities, common types of poison had no effect on him. Even the Deadly Slither’s poison, one of the most infamously lethal types of poison, only made favonovel.com sleep for a while.
“Did you guys hear that? What a ridiculous excuse!” Quentin scoffed and said coldly, “Dustin, oh Dustin! You’re such a good liar. You’re also human like all of us, so what gave you the audacity to say that you’re immune to all poison?”
“Hmph! Immune to poison? Sounds like bullshit to me!”
“I know, right? Only the person who poisoned us could come up with such a ridiculous excuse!”
“Don’t waste any more time on him. Hurry up and hold favonovel.com down so we can interrogate him!”
The crowd flew into a furious uproar. They obviously did not believe Dustin.
“Dad, you’re the head of the family, hurry up and say something!” Seeing that the situation was going sideways, Natasha immediately turned to favonovel.com father.
Hector frowned, not knowing what to say.
Although favonovel.com believed that Dustin was innocent, favonovel.com couldn’t treat a threat to the whole family’s life lightly. Most importantly, there were still suspicions surrounding Dustin, which made it hard for favonovel.com to decide.
“Hector, let me handle this,” Trent said. “I’ve been in charge of the safety and security of the family all along. Since something like this has happened, I should carry out a thorough investigation regardless of whether Dustin is innocent.”
“Dad’s right! For the family’s safety, we should always be safe rather than sorry! Men, detain him!” Quentin commanded with a swift gesture of his hand.
“Yes, sir!” A group of the Harmon family’s guards stepped forward and surrounded Dustin. They had already drawn their swords.
“Stop!” Natasha shouted in anger. “If anyone dares to act rashly, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
“Natasha, you have to look at the bigger picture,” Trent said sternly. “If Dustin is innocent, then I will surely clear his name. I will not condemn him.”
“What’s the difference between condemning favonovel.com and arresting favonovel.com in public?” Natasha said with a frown.
“I only require his cooperation in the investigation. I guarantee that I will not hurt him.”
“He’s right, Natasha. This is a very serious matter that warrants a thorough investigation. I’m afraid we’ll have to trouble Dustin a little this time,” Jessica said.
