“Dustin, did you hear that? Get on your knees and apologize to me. Then, pay me 300 million in compensation for my mental distress.
“Otherwise, I’ll make sure you stay in prison forever!” Julie’s hands were on her hips, appearing domineering. With her cousin backing her, she had nothing to fear.
Julie might be a fake heiress, but her cousin was Sir Mosey’s favored god- daughter. He had entrusted over half of his businesses to her.
Dahlia’s current status was no less than that of Dragonmarsh’s princess. Everyone had to treat her with respect. Dustin might be capable, but he was nothing in front of Dahlia.
“Rhys! Dahlia is a prominent figure among the Moseys. You’d better think about your situation carefully!” Elena sneered, looking pleased with the turn of events..
Once Dustin apologized, she would take the opportunity to humiliate him. If he resisted, that would be even better. Because once he angered Dahlia, there would be no way out for him!
Dahlia wouldn’t even need to take action herself. There were plenty of people willing to lend a helping hand.
“Oh, Dustin, weren’t you pretty arrogant earlier? Finally, you’ve met your match. Let’s see how long you can keep that arrogance of yours!” Eleanor muttered to herself, her gaze filled with malice.
“Handsome, why don’t we just apologize? Otherwise, we might get into huge trouble. Being humiliated is better than losing our lives,” Lana advised softly.
She knew about Dahlia and Scott. Both of them were the core members of the Mosey family. They were powerful and influential and could dispatch the Mosey family forces freely.
Dahlia, in particular, controlled over half of the Moseys’ businesses and was set to inherit Seamus’s legacy. Lana couldn’t afford to offend such powerful people.
“Dustin! I’m giving you an opportunity right now, don’t be stubborn!” Dahlia ordered coldly. The act of poisoning is no small matter. But if Dustin admitted his mistake sincerely, she might consider letting the matter go.
However, if he remained stubborn, she wouldn’t bother showing mercy.
“I’m sick and tired of these words. The truth is clear to everyone present, so I won’t bother explaining further,” Dustin said indifferently.
“If you think I was wrong, so be it. As for apologizing and making amends, forgive me for being unable to do so. I’ve never had the habit of submitting to others.”
“A real man will apologize when they’ve done wrong. Your behavior is no different than a coward!” Dahlia rebuked.
She wouldn’t have said anything if it were anyone else. However, she felt a sense of resentment toward Dustin for failing to meet her expectations. She had hoped he would come to his senses rather than persist in his misguided courage.
“Dahlia, there’s no need to waste your breath on people like him. Just have him apprehended,” Scott suddenly sneered.
He continued, “People like him only bully the weak. He’ll come to his senses once we throw him into Azkaban.”
“That’s right! Apprehend him and throw him into Azkaban!” Julie and the other two women chimed in.
“Hey now You’d better not try anything foolish.”
Abigail stepped forward with a smile and said, “If you dare touch a hair on Sir’s head, I’ll kill all of you! And I’ll make sure it will be a very painful death.
Eleanor and Elena instinctively took two steps backward. They were still traumatized by their previous experience. This crazy woman couldn’t be dealt with using common sense. If they pushed too hard, it would only land them in trouble.
“Outrageous!”
Julie glared at her and yelled cowardly, “You crazy witch! Do you know who you’re talking to? This is my cousin. She is also Sir Mosey’s god-daughter! Threatening her is akin to suicide!”
“Is that so?” Abigail grinned and flicked her wrist, sending a black pill straight into Julie’s throat.
