Chapter: 731
His words immediately drew everyone’s attention to Dustin, their gazes conveying various emotions. Wariness. Distrust. Confusion. Anger.
After some thinking, they realized what Quentin said was logical. After all, everyone present had a vested interest and knew each other inside out, and the only stranger was Dustin, which made it hard not to suspect him.
"How absurd!" Natasha cried indignantly. "Quentin Harmon! Dustin saved your life just now, but you’re accusing him wrongfully? What kind of person are you?"
"I’m just trying to help everyone figure out who the mole is," Quentin replied unapologetically.
"Fine! You said that Dustin is the traitor. Where’s the proof?" Natasha demanded.
"Isn’t all this proof enough?" Quentin sneered. "All of us were poisoned, but he was completely fine, so who else could it be?"
His words caused an uproar.
"He’s right! All of us were poisoned except that guy. How fishy!"
"Exactly. I was wondering why he was fine, but he turned out to be the person who poisoned us!*
"What a treacherous man! Why on earth did I even thank him for? Ugh!"
Everyone’s opinion about Dustin began to sway under Quentin’s prodding. Instead of appreciative gazes, all Dustin received now were furious glares.
Hearsay sure was dangerous. In no time, Dustin found himself labeled guilty.
"Shut up!" Natasha yelled, infuriated.
"Are you guys crazy? Dustin saved you, but instead of thanking him, you’re pointing your fingers at him? Unbelievable!"
"Natasha, this is a serious matter. I think we should look into this issue properly." Trent suddenly spoke.
"I agree!" Jacob shouted abruptly. "I say we arrest and interrogate him for everyone’s safety!"
"Arrest him! Arrest him!" the Harmon family chanted agitatedly.
It was as if Dustin had suddenly turned into a criminal.
Looking at all the hostile faces around him, Dustin smiled an imperceptible cold smile. They really didn’t know what was good for them. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have saved anyone. Now, he not only ended up failing to get into anyone’s good books but even brought trouble unto himself. How unlucky!
"Why so quiet, Dustin? Is it because you’re feeling too guilty, so you don’t dare to speak a word?" Quentin said aggressively. He looked as if he wanted to get to the bottom of things.
