Chapter: 938

This time, however, Dustin caught her hand gently.

"What on earth happened, Dahlia?"

"How dare you ask me! Don’t you know what you did?" Dahlia seethed.

"I really don’t. Was there a misunderstanding?" Dustin asked hesitantly.

"Misunderstanding? My brother is dead, yet you tell me there was a misunderstanding?" Dahlia practically roared.

"James is dead?" Dustin paled.

"How could this be?"

"You murderer! You killed my brother! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" Fists rained down on Dustin as Dahlia vented all her anger at him.

"Me? No way." Dustin was flabbergasted.

"Don’t even try denying it. My brother was hospitalized because of what you did last night. They failed to save him this morning, so he’s dead now!" Dahlia’s face was full of agony.

"Impossible!" Dustin immediately shook his head.

"I did slap him a few times last night, but I made sure to control my strength. It was nowhere near enough to kill him!"

Despite his hatred for James, Dustin would never kill the other man. Yesterday’s actions were merely to teach James a lesson, so how could they have caused his death?

"Don’t make excuses! Your palm prints are all over my brother’s face, and the doctors said he suffered severe head trauma. If you weren’t the one who caused it, who else could it be? Why? Why did you have to hit him so hard? Even if he did something wrong, you shouldn’t have killed him!" Dahlia bawled, her fist pounding on Dustin’s chest.

Although Dustin should be the one in pain, the person who ended up with tears streaking down their face was Dahlia.

"Dahlia, I think that there’s something fishy with James‘ sudden death. Please believe me. I would never kill him!" Dustin responded gravely.

"Believe you? How am I supposed to do that when all evidence is pointing at you?" Dahlia roared. It has been proven that Dustin was the person who hit James, causing the latter to be hospitalized. Doctors have also confirmed that the cause of James‘ death was head trauma.

These answers were concrete evidence that pointed to Dustin as the murderer. So even if Dahlia was willing to believe that this hadn’t been Dustin’s intention, it was an undeniable fact that Dustin had accidentally killed her brother.

"Calm down, Dahlia. We haven’t gotten to the bottom of this incident yet. Please give me some time." Dustin’s brows were furrowed deeply.

"How am I supposed to calm down when my brother’s dead body is laying in the morgue? Dustin, from today onward, we are over! I don’t want to ever see you again, so get out!" Losing control of her emotions, Dahlia slapped and clawed at him.

There was no way she could ever forgive him for killing her brother, which meant that from now on, they were enemies.

"Take care of yourself, Dahlia. I’ll get to the bottom of this soon." Realizing that nothing he said. was getting to her, Dustin stopped trying to explain himself and got up to leave.
