Chapter: 425
“What? He saved you?” Everyone was shocked to hear that. Exchanging incredulous looks with each other. confusion was written across their face
“You’re kidding, right, Dahlia? He can’t be the one who rescued you. We clearly saw him touching you and was about to do something nasty!” Florence obviously didn’t believe Dahlia.
“She’s right, Sis. He tried to take your clothes off while you were unconscious!” James fanned the flames.
“We can all testify that Dustin was the one who did it!” Julle and a few others agreed.
Dahlia shook her head frantically, which made her alcohol–ridden head heavier.
“Who else could it be? There were only two of you in this room when we came in,” Florence said.
“It was Matt Laney, that bastard!” Dahlia struggled to organize her memories.
“You must be drunk, Dahlia. Matt’s a decent man. There’s no way he’d do something like this.”
“Sis, did Dustin slip you a drug? Is that why you’re so confused?”
“I heard that some drugs can cause hallucinations. That must be why your memory got jumbled up.”
One after another, the people in the room refuted what Dahlia said, making her doubt herself.
“Did I really remember wrongly? But how could that be?” she thought. Staring at her injuries, she had a hard time believing that Dustin was the one who did this.
“Hey, there’s a phone here, and it’s recording a video.” Julie spotted the phone on the television cabinet and brought it over.
“It must be that asshole’s!” Florence fumed.
“He was even planning to record himself assaulting Dahlia! How disgusting!”
“There’s no way that brat can defend himself now that we have this evidence!”
“We have to put that guy in jail!”
The crowd began to hurl insults at Dustin.
“It can’t be. Dustin wouldn’t do that Dahlia shook her head, unable to accept that.
“Why are you still defending him, Dahlia? Why do you still have feelings for that asshole? I’m telling you, Matt’s the better man for you. He’s leagues above Dustin! I’ll show you Dustin’s true colors right now!” Florence yelled and began the playback, showing exactly what happened. By the time they reached the middle of the video, everyone had frozen in dismay.
“Matt Laney?” Florence was rooted to the spot as she stared in disbelief at the man violently assaulting Dahlia in the video.
Everyone else’s jaws had dropped as well. Never in their dreams would they have imagined that the person who kidnapped Dahlia and tried to assault her would be Matt, a respectful man from a noble family.
How could this be possible?
However, the video was right before their eyes. It turned out that the despicable person had been the “decent” man, Matt, instead of Dustin.
Everyone’s faces began to burn in shame as they recalled what they had said just now, and they fell silent.
