Chapter: 252
After reaching the gate, he was stopped by two guards.
“Stop right there! Today is Ms. Hummer’s birthday. Only those who received an invitation are allowed to enter!”
“Step aside!” Dustin did not want to waste another second and immediately headed inside.
“Scoundrel! You’ve got some nerve!” The two guards immediately gripped Dustin’s shoulder.
The instant the two of them made contact with him, they were hurled backward with a force that sent them tumbling through the air, their cries of pain echoing through the night.
“Quick! Inform Sir Zims!” One of the guards immediately took out his phone and called for backup.
When he turned back, Dustin had already walked past the gates.
After a short ride in the lift, he walked inside the ballroom.
As he looked at the lively crowd, Dustin took a deep breath before shouting, “Which one of you is Tina Hummer?!”
His voice wasn’t piercing, yet it echoed across the room.
The lively crowd instantly went silent. Everyone turned towards him with displeasing looks.
“Who dared to call Ms. Hummer by her name?!” Everyone wondered.
“Hm? Who’s calling me?” Tina stood up slowly with a displeased look in her eyes.
Dustin silently walked forward as everyone stared down at him.
“Hey, isn’t that Dahlia’s ex–husband? Why is he here?”
“I’m guessing he’s probably here to apologize. After all, stealing from Ms. Hummer is not a small matter.”
“He’s apologizing after his woman got beaten up? How shameful!”
People all around the room began to murmur amongst themselves as they pointed at the man. They were mostly mocking him.
“What? Are you here to apologize for that bitch?
Tina’s eyes scanned the man from head to toe, her lips curling into a sinister smile as she sized him up.
“If you’re really interested in helping your friend, you might want to start by getting down on your knees. And who knows, if I’m pleased, maybe I’ll consider letting her off the hook.”
“So, you were the one who caused Dahlia’s injuries?” Dustin slowly approached her.
Seconds later, he stood in front of her.
“So what if I was the one who caused her injuries? That bitch didn’t know her limits. A slut like her deserved a beating!”
Tina laughed coldly.
