The night passed quickly.
The next morning, Dustin suddenly received a phone call from Eleanor.
“Hello, Dustin. We’d like to talk with you. Can we meet?” Eleanor sounded gentle.
“There’s nothing for us to talk about. You can only blame yourselves for everything that happened,” Dustin replied
coldly.
“Dustin, I know I was wrong. I’m very regretful of my decisions. Please give me a chance to make amends.” Eleanor
pleaded.
“Give you a chance? What about Lana? She didn’t do anything wrong, but because of you, she’s dead. Did you ever
give her a chance?” Dustin remained unfazed.
“You’ve misunderstood the situation. Lana’s death has nothing to do with us. I swear that I knew nothing about it at
first,” Eleanor spoke earnestly.

Dustin had already experienced her cunning and selfish nature and how she never meant what she said. She would
never have softened her stance if she hadn’t been pushed into a corner.
“Dustin, I know you doubt me, but I am truly innocent. To prove my innocence, I’ve investigated the real murderer.
“In fact, apart from Scott, there is another person directly related to Lana’s death,” Eleanor said mysteriously.
Dustin raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Who?”
“If you want to know, come and meet me at Grace Brothel. We can talk face to face and clear up all
misunderstandings. I’ll be waiting for you,” Eleanor said before swiftly ending the call.
Dustin held his phone, his brows furrowing. Lana’s death had been weighing on his mind, and if there was another
person involved in her murder, he couldn’t simply ignore it.
The problem was, was Eleanor lying? Was she truly repentant or just setting a trap, planning for an ambush?
Dustin didn’t worry much about it and decided to meet with her after some thought. The Welch family and the
Forrest family were on the verge of bankruptcy and wouldn’t be able to create any major issues.
If Eleanor honestly admitted to her mistakes, she might still be able to live. Otherwise, any tricks from her would
only lead to her death. It was 8:00 pm. Grace Brothel was located at Inner City and was highly renowned in
Oakvale.
It was different from the typical restaurants and resembled a classic brothel. It was also a large building with three
floors, all of them appearing vintage in design.
The first floor was for dining and drinking, the second floor was for entertainment, and the third floor was a hotel.
The individuals in Grace Brothel were all specially chosen handsome men and beautiful women to suit various
preferences. It was a place where celebrities and fashion models were a common sight as long as one could afford
the price.
Because of its unique nature, many high -ranking officials and dignitaries enjoyed visiting Grace Brothel for
entertainment. Naturally, Grace Brothel was an illegal establishment, but there were always exceptions to be made.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrace Brothel was one of Celestial Alliance’s businesses and a significant source of their income. Because of that, it
had become of a gray area after various arrangements behind the scenes.
The authorities tended to overlook its operations as long as no major incidents occurred. Meanwhile, Eleanor and
Elena were seated in a luxurious room on the first floor of Grace Brothel. Their gazes occasionally shifted toward
the door like they were waiting for someone.
“Eleanor, are you sure that Dustin will come? We’ve been waiting for an hour, and there’s still no sign of him.”
Elena was getting nervous.
Since they had already made a pledge before Anders, they would be in big trouble if they failed to deal with Dustin.
“Don’t worry, Dustin will definitely come,” Eleanor said confidently.
“He’s the kind of person who values loyalty and would do anything to exact revenge for Lana. If he found out that
there was another person involved in her death, he would definitely do something about it.”
“I know, but I’m worried that he saw through our plan and won’t dare to come,” Elena said as she looked around
anxiously.
“He didn’t even hesitate when he killed Scott, so he’s not a timid person. Even if he has his suspicions, he will still
come. Let’s just wait a little longer. He should be here soon,” Eleanor said seriously.
