"Wha—what are you doing?" Dahlia's expression changed as she struggled to free herself. She looked more alluring as she struggled desperately."Don't you like playing games? I'll play with you until you're satisfied!" Dustin's expression was cold."You're a lunatic! Stop this at once!" Dahlia cried out angrily.Dustin commented, "You're still pretending? The skin on your face has peeled off. Haven't you noticed?""What?" Dahlia's eyes widened, and she touched her face instinctively. However, she quickly came back to her senses. It didn't matter if her face was disfigured; her actions had already given her away. "I thought my acting skills were pretty good. I didn't expect you to see through it that quickly." Once she found out she was exposed, "Dahlia" stopped the act and pulled forcefully near her ear. Soon, a human mask was peeled off. "Dahlia" was gone, and she was replaced by an unfamiliar woman. The woman looked decent, but her complexion was ghastly pale. Her gaze was

The group of masked women brandished a knife and held it dangerously close to Dahlia's neck; a thin line of blood could be seen on her skin. It was a warning that Dahlia would be killed on the spot if Dustin made any sudden movements.Dustin furrowed his brow and ultimately released his grip. He wasn't going to risk Dahlia's life with the numbers they had."That's more like it." Astrid stretched her neck. She looked triumphant as she said, "Dustin, you should feel honored that my mentor has taken an interest in you. As long as you agree, we will be a family going forward. And if you refuse, you and everyone else around you will die!" "Do you have to go to such extremes?" Dustin's expression was frosty. "This is how we do things. If we can't get our hands on a talented genius like you, you must be destroyed," Astrid responded. "Do you really think you can kill me?" Dustin retorted. Astrid chuckled as she said, "I know you're talented, but we came prepared. I added Tranqurin to

"Ugh—!'' Astrid froze. Astrid looked at Azalea, who had a smile on her face, and then down at the sword in her chest. She was filled with shock and disbelief. She never imagined that Azalea would kill her without hesitation when she was smiling cheerfully just a second ago. There weren't any signs throughout the entire situation. "What?" Dustin was also bewildered at the sudden turn of events. He had casually mentioned it without expecting anything to happen. He would never imagine that Azalea would not only take it seriously but also act without hesitation and plunged her sword straight into her senior's chest. He wondered if this woman was ruthless or just truly insane."W—why?" Astrid spat out the words with difficulty, glaring at Azalea with wide eyes. Mixed emotions flashed across her face—disbelief, fury, resentment, and defiance. But above all, confusion clouded her face. She couldn't understand why Azalea would kill her. Was it solely based on Dustin's words? "Don't

"Doctor, not only did I betray my guild for you, but I also killed my senior. You're so mean for calling me that." Azalea pouted with a bitter expression."What exactly are you trying to do?" Dustin questioned her."Don't overthink it. I just want to be friends with you, nothing more," Azalea said with a grin."I don't think I can afford to be your friend. There might come a day where you'd thrust a knife into my back," Dustin responded bluntly."Hey, I can't bear to do that. Besides, if anyone is thrusting anything, it'd be you." She smiled charmingly.The corners of Dustin's mouth twitched upon hearing her words. Did this woman just make a dirty joke? "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving." Unwilling to stay any longer, Dustin prepared to leave and picked up the unconscious Dahlia. "Hold on." Azalea suddenly took out a small vial and passed it to Dustin. "This is the antidote for Tranqurin. You should take it. Otherwise, you'll have serious long-term effects.""There's no n

The next morning, at Nicholson Corp., Dahlia woke up groggily and found herself lying on the sofa of her office. She was covered with a thick blanket, and there was even a steaming glass of milk on the table beside her. Last night's events were still fuzzy to her, and she rubbed her head, which was throbbing slightly in pain. Feeling parched, she picked up the glass of milk and finished it in one go. It made her feel warm inside, giving her a slight relief from the discomfort she was feeling. "Dahlia, you're awake." At that moment, Dustin walked in with the breakfast that he had just bought."Why are you here?" Dahlia's brows creased into a frown, and her expression turned cold."I didn't know where you lived, so I brought you back to your office for the night." As he was talking, he took out a takeaway container with a full English breakfast inside as well as a bowl of chicken soup."I'm asking why you are here?" Dahlia asked in exasperation."Have you forgotten about what hap

Since they were on the 30th floor, anyone who jumped down from that height would not be able to survive. Dahlia was trying to get Dustin to back down and leave."Alright, I'll jump." Dustin nodded. Without hesitation, he turned and crashed through the full-length glass window, hurtling down from the 30th floor.Dahlia stood frozen on the spot, her mind blank with disbelief. The words had only escaped her lips in a fit of anger. She never would have imagined that Dustin would follow through with her demand. "Dustin!" Dahlia screamed after returning to her senses. She rushed toward the shattered window and looked down. Dustin had vanished from sight. She knew that no ordinary person would survive such a bone-shattering fall. Her legs gave away, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud. While she sat on the ground, she could not hold back her tears. "Why? Why did it turn out like this? Dustin, why did you jump? How can you be so foolish? What am I supposed to do now that you're g

"Alright, that's enough. Stop crying. Can't you see I'm alive and well?" Dustin patted Dahlia's back, consoling her. This was the first time they were wrapped in such a tight embrace. Dustin could not only smell the natural body scent she emanated, but he could also feel her voluptuous breasts pressing against his chest. It distracted him momentarily. "Hmph! But you almost died earlier!" Dahlia pounded on his chest again. "I had no choice. You were the one who told me to jump." Dustin put on an innocent expression. "You jumped just because I told you so? Why don't you eat shit too if I ask you?" Dahlia's tone was upset."Heh … that's too much," Dustin replied awkwardly."Eating shit is too much, but jumping down a building is not? What exactly were you thinking?" Dahlia jabbed a finger against Dustin's forehead."I was too impulsive earlier. I promise there won't be another time," Dustin admitted to his faults. He had witnessed the entire scene earlier, where Dahlia cried

"Dahlia! Did this bastard feed you a love potion? How can you believe him?" Florence was both furious and shocked. She couldn't believe her daughter had turned into such a shameful woman. She was ignoring her brother's death for the sake of a wretched man. She was even defending the killer. It was foolish behavior!"I believe him because there are indeed questionable circumstances surrounding James' death. I don't wish to unjustly accuse a good man," Dahlia explained."A good man, my fucking ass! You can tell he's a wretched person just by how obnoxious and cunning he is! I must hand him over to the authorities today!" Florence was unyielding, shouting, and ready to act. "Mom, can you calm down?" Dahlia stood in front of her mom, trying to stop her.Florence was enraged and tried to push her daughter aside. "Get out of my way!" The result was the same, as Dahlia stood her ground. In the end, the two started pushing each other. "Mom, listen to me. This situation—" Before Dahlia
