Chapter: 398
“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.
“D–Dustin Rhys? How could it be him?!” After learning the truth, Florence and the others looked at each other for a while, disbelief written on their faces.
Never in a million years had they considered that it wasn’t Matt who saved Julie, but the person they had dubbed ungrateful.
This was simply a slap in the face!
“So Dustin never framed Julie in the first place, and it was you guys… purposely slinging mud at him?” Dahlia stood rooted to the ground, expressionless.
Her face was as white as a sheet.
“W–who slung mud at him? I bet he’s feeling guilty because he knows what he did wrong, so he’s trying to make things up to us!” Florence insisted stubbornly.
She was used to bossing people around; of course, she would never admit that she had gotten the wrong idea about Dustin.
That would be too humiliating.
“Mom, things have already come to this, and you still want to justify yourself?” Dahlia bit her lip. Even her heart was clenching.
“How am I justifying myself? If that Rhys bastard hadn’t framed Julie, why would he have saved her? In the end, he was just feeling guilty for doing something wrong!” Florence insisted indignantly.
“That’s right! If he didn’t do it, why did he save her?” James echoed.
“I’ve really had enough of you guys!” Dahlia’s emotions finally exploded.
