Chapter: 266
“Then tell me, how did this end up in Dahlia’s bag? Who else would have access to her bag other than you?” He tossed a box in front of her with a pair of ruby earrings inside.
“H–How would I know? It’s not me!” Julie’s eyes flashed with panic as she desperately clung to her lie.
“You better think clearly before you answer. Otherwise, you’d lose your chance.” Dustin said expressionlessly.
“What do you mean? Are you saying that you’ll lay a finger on me?” Julie shouted sternly.
“You have one minute left.” Dustin lifted a finger.
“What on earth are you trying to do? I’m not afraid of you!” Julie said as she backed away slowly.
“Ten seconds left.”
“Dustin! I’m warning you.” Before Julie could finish her threat, footsteps could be heard outside the room.
“Boss. I already got the information that Danlia is in this ward!”
“Good! You, keep a lookout. The others. follow me!”
After an exchange of words, a few assassins dressed in black immediately swarmed the room.
“Who is Dahlia Nicholson?” The leader scanned the room with a piercing gaze.
“She is.” Dustin pointed his finger at Julie.
The next second, with a sharp “Clang“, two swords were pressed against Julie’s neck.
“Bring her!”
“What?” Julie’s mind went blank when a pair of swords were held at her neck. She was unable to process what was happening.
From the assassins‘ forced entry to Dustin framing her, everything happened too quickly. When she finally regained her composure, she was already in danger.
“Rhys! How could you do this to me!”
Seeing as she was about to be held hostage, Julie panicked.
“Wait, it’s a mistake! I’m not Dahlia, you’ve got the wrong person!”
“Do you think we are stupid? This man told us you are Dahlia Nicholson!” The assassins‘ leader retorted.
“He’s spouting nonsense! Don’t believe him!” Julie said, cold sweat running down her forehead.
She never expected Dustin to exact his revenge on her in such a despicable manner!
“According to our intel, Dahlia is in this hospital room. If you aren’t Dahlia; why would you be here?” The leader demanded fiercely.
“I–I was just passing by-!” Julie stammered.
