Chapter 645
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.

“Last night?” Dahlia recollected her thoughts, and last night’s events became clearer. She remembered
being drugged and found herself tied up when she woke up. Her kidnapper had. intended to threaten
Dustin with her, but it seemed like their plan had failed.
“It’s alright if you don’t remember. The drug is still in your system, so you’ll feel groggy for the time
being. Here, eat up first.” Dustin passed the steaming hot chicken soup to Dahlia.
“Go away! I don’t need you putting on an act here!” Dahlia was ruthless as she slapped the bowl of
chicken soup to the ground. Her tone was frosty as she said, “Don’t think I’ll be grateful to you just
because you saved my life last night, you murderer’” She couldn’t act like nothing had happened when
her brother passed away a few days ago.
Dustin shook his head. “Dahlia, your brother’s death has nothing to do with me.”
“They saw you! My mother saw you! Are you telling me they are lying?” Dahlia bellowed.
“They only saw what happened on the surface. They’re not aware of the truth.” Dustin turned. solemn
before he continued, “I did beat James up, but that doesn’t mean I killed him. He was poisoned to
death. Someone is trying to frame me and get in between us!”

“Fine, you said you were framed. Where’s the evidence? How are you going to prove your innocence?”
Dahlia questioned.
“I found the murder weapon. And I have your brother’s autopsy results. You’ll find that it is suspicious if
you examine it in detail.” Dustin took out the evidence he carried with him.
constantly and displayed it in front of Dahlia.
“This is just a piece of paper and a needle. Do you think I’ll believe you with just these?” Dahlia
remained unyielding. An autopsy report could be fabricated with money. It was not persuasive
whatsoever.
“Dahlia, we’ve been married for three years. You should know my character. I’ve never done
anything to hurt you,” Dustin said seriously. 2

“I used to think I knew you well. However, I’ve come to realize that I can’t see through you at all.”
Dahlia’s expression was icy. The more she interacted with him, the more she found him shrouded in a
veil of mystery. No matter how hard she tried to unravel his true intentions, she was unable to read him.
This was exactly why she struggled to trust him.
Dustin lifted three fingers. “Dahlia, I swear! I didn’t kill your brother!”
“What’s the point of saying all this? Everyone thinks you’re the murderer. I can’t forgive you! Please,
get out!” Dahlia pointed at the door, ordering him to leave. She was afraid that her resolve would
weaken if he continued speaking. Despite her lingering feelings for Dustin, she couldn’t forgive him on
behalf of her late brother.
“Dahlia, I’m doing all I can to find the murderer. Just give me a little more time. I’ll definitely be able to
prove my innocence!” Dustin swore.
“Are you still trying to argue at this point?” Dahlia gritted her teeth. “If you had repented. sincerely, you
may have had a chance. But you’re not only escaping responsibility; you’re making up all kinds of
excuses right now. I’m really disappointed in you. I don’t want to see you ever again; leave
immediately!”
“What exactly do I need to do for you to believe me?” Dustin furrowed his brows.
“You want me to believe you? Fine! If you jump down from here to prove your innocence, I’ll believe
you!” Dahlia spat out in a fit of anger.
