“Rhys! You’ve really messed up this time!
“Killing Sir Mosey’s godson is like stirring up a hornet’s nest! No matter how big Dragonmarsh is, there is nowhere for you to hide!”
Elena was clearly shocked by the turn of events. She always considered the Moseys her safety net, going out of her way to please Dahlia and Scott. Eleanor believed having their support would give her an advantage.
However, she never expected Dustin actually to dare go against her main support. His action wasn’t just bold; it was downright crazy!
“Dead… he’s dead? Scott Mosey is actually dead?”
“Dustin! Do you even realize what you’ve done? This time, you’ve really messed us up!”
After a moment of shock, the Camron family erupted in an uproar. They were filled with despair. With Scott dead, things had escalated. Once the Moseys started investigating it, the Camron family would be in deep trouble.
“One person had to the plunge. I was the one that killed Scott. I’ll face the consequences,” Dustin said calmly.
“You? Are you sure you can handle it?” Corey shouted in frustration. He added, “Mr. Mosey was part of Oakvale’s ancient house family, a giant. What makes you think you can take on such a behemoth?
“You might be asking for trouble for yourself, but why drag us into this mess? Y-You… You’re a walking disaster!”
“Exactly! All the Camron family wanted was to sort things out. But by killing Mr. Mosey and presenting his head to us, you’ve thrown us into the lion’s den! What were you thinking?”
The crowd expressed their anger toward Dustin. Scott had unresolved issues with the Camron family. If Dustin hadn’t shown up at their door with a severed head, they could have explained themselves and escaped from the situation.
But now, there seemed to be no way to clear their names.
“Dustin, you’ve really landed yourself in hot water. If you want to avoid dragging innocent people into this, return with us to the Moseys mansion and face the consequences!” Eleanor ordered firmly.
While Scott’s death wasn’t her doing, ensuring Dustin’s capture and delivering him to the Moseys would be a notable accomplishment.
“Rhys! You just mentioned you took the plunges. I now demand you to surrender yourself!” Elena joined in. She couldn’t fathom how a loser like Dustin dared to kill an elite figure. He was clearly asking for trouble.
“It seems you don’t quite get it,” Dustin stated nonchalantly.
“I did kill Scott Mosey, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to apologize for it.”
“Are you seriously not worried about the Moseys coming after you for revenge?” Eleanor asked.
“What do you think?” he retorted.
That left both Eleanor and Elena momentarily speechless.
After all, if Dustin feared retaliation, why would he have gone ahead and killed Scott? This loser that stood before them was undoubtedly a loose cannon.
“And there’s one more thing,” Dustin added with an air of indifference.
“Considering both of you were in cahoots with Scott, you’re not exactly saints. You share some responsibility for Lana’s death.
“I’ll give you two options: First, kneel in front of Lana’s memorial for three days and reflect on your sins. And then surrender half of your family fortune to compensate for the Camron family’s losses-”
Before he could finish, Eleanor quickly retorted, “You’re delusional! Lana’s death is none of our business. Stop making a fuss!”
“Exactly! Forget about surrendering half of our family’s fortune. I wouldn’t even consider kneeling!” Elena added firmly. A second-tier family like theirs would never stoop so low.
“If you don’t agree, then there’s only the second option is left.”
