Chapter: 397
“Why? Why did you guys lie to me?!” Dahlia was extremely upset.
“Dahlia, we didn’t lie to you. That animal was wrong to hit us. Even if we started it, he had no right to hit us back! So what if we hit him? We’re older than him; can’t we teach him a lesson?! Florence argued righteously as if her actions were justified.
“You–you guys are really unbelievable!” Dahlia was furious. She didn’t expect that her mother would be so unreasonable and evil.
It was clearly her own fault, but she still pinned the blame on Dustin, deliberately twisting the truth and misleading her. 1
“Fine! Even if we were impulsive this time, it doesn’t mean that ass wasn’t responsible for this as well. If he hadn’t framed Julie, would we have gone over to pick a light? In the end, he had it coming for him!” Florence shouted with conviction, her hands on her waist.
As soon as she said that, a middle–aged man in uniform alighted from the police car that stopped in front of their door.
“You must be Julie Amberson’s family, am I right? I am Chief Aspen Cruiser. Regarding Julie’s case of medicine theft, although Mr. Rhys has decided not to pursue the matter, you still need to make sure she learned her lesson and won’t make the same mistake again. If Mr. Rhys hadn’t said anything today, Julie would probably have remained in there for a few more years. Do you understand?” Aspen said, giving them a stern verbal warning.
“Mr. Rhys?”
Florence and the others looked at each other.
“Wasn’t it Mr. Laney Sr. who helped Julie?”
“Who’s that? I’ve never heard of him,” Aspen replied, stone–faced.
As soon as he said that, everyone’s eyes flicked over to Matt.
After everything that happened, it wasn’t even Phineas Laney who helped.
Then, had they thanked the wrong person?
Being on the receiving end of everyone’s gazes, Matt felt his face flush, as if he’d been slapped on both cheeks.
This was fucking humiliating!
“Chief Cruiser, may I ask who this “Mr. Rhys‘ is that you’re talking about?” Florence still couldn’t believe it.
Aspen raised an eyebrow.
“Who else could it be? Of course, it’s Dustin Rhys. Who else would help you out?”
As soon as he said that, the entire room fell dead silent…
“You–you guys are really unbelievable!” Dahlia was furious. She didn’t expect that her mother would be so unreasonable and evil.
It was clearly her own fault, but she still pinned the blame on Dustin, deliberately twisting the truth and misleading her.
“Fine! Even if we were impulsive this time, it doesn’t mean that ass wasn’t responsible for this as well. If he hadn’t framed Julie, would we have gone over to pick a fight? In the end, he had it coming for him!” Florence shouted with conviction, her hands on her waist.
