Chapter: 90
Why would they mention that trash to dampen the mood?
“But I heard Dustin was invited onto the stage at today’s opening ceremony,” the person added.
“So what? He didn’t even say a single word. It was so humiliating!”
“That’s right! It may seem he’s living a glorious life now, but he’s nothing but a tool. Ms. Harmon will kick him aside when she gets tired of him!”
Everyone started nodding along. That was right. What did Ms. Harmon see in a person such as Dustin? In the end, he was nothing but a plaything. Once she got tired of him, she would throw him away. By then, Dustin would be worthless!
“Hard work requires effort. Any man who depends on a woman is useless. The real talented young man is Chris!” James finished and gave Chris a big thumbs up.
Chris’s eyes twitched, and he seemed nervous. In the past, he would definitely scoff in contempt of Dustin. However, after witnessing his power today, he felt Dustin was not someone ordinary.
“Alright, let’s stop talking about this and eat,” Dahlia said, trying to change the topic. She didn’t want to hear Dustin’s and Natasha’s names mentioned.
Whenever she thought of the two laughing and talking, she would feel strangely panicked.
“Quick! Surround this place. No one can leave!”
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door. Immediately, the door was kicked open with a loud bang.
A group of heavily armed guards stormed in aggressively. The deadly aura radiating from them made everyone’s blood run cold.
“Who is Dahlia Nicholson?” The leading soldier stepped out, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
Everyone was shocked when they watched the guards swarm in. They looked at each other in confusion for some time.
“Officer, what is the matter?” Florence braced herself and asked. She had never witnessed such an occasion as a civilian. Even if she did not do anything illegal, she still felt guilty.
“I’m asking, who is Dahlia Nicholson?” the officer spoke in a somber tone with a hostile look in his eyes.
“I am…” Dahlia slowly stood up and put on a brave face as she asked, “What can I do for you, officer?”
“According to our investigations, you are collaborating with the enemy. You are accused of being a spy planted by the west. Come with us immediately to assist in the investigation!” the officer announced.
“Collaborating with the enemy? A traitor?”
Everyone was shocked at his accusation. That didn’t seem plausible. Dahlia was born and raised in Swinton, she wasn’t mixed in any way. Even her ancestors were all ordinary farmers.
How could she end up being a traitor?
“Officer, is there a mistake? My daughter is a model citizen. She pays her taxes every year and even donates to charity. How is it possible that she’s a traitor?” Florence asked in shock.
“That’s right! My sister is innocent. You shouldn’t spew nonsense!” James slammed the table and stood up unhappily.
“We will find out whether this is a mistake after the investigation!” the guard answered coldly.
“Is there even a need? We can testify!”
