“I'm asking why you are here?” Dahlia asked in exasperation.“Have you forgotten about what happened last night?” Dustin was confused.
“Last night?” Dahlia recollected her thoughts, and last night’s events became clearer. She remembered being drugged and foundherself tied up when she woke up. Her kidnapper had. intended to threaten Dustin with her, but it seemed like their plan hadfailed.
“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! | 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” Shecouldn'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 didbeat James up, but that doesn’t mean | killed him. He was poisoned to death. Someone is trying to frame me and get in betweenus!”

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 autopsyreport could be fabricated with money. It was not persuasive whatsoever.

“| used to think | knew you well. However, I’ve come to realize that | 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 unravelhis true intentions, she was unable to read him. This was exactly why she struggled to trust him.
Dustin lifted three fingers. “Dahlia, | swear! | didn’t kill your brother!”
“What's the point of saying all this? Everyone thinks you're the murderer. | can’t forgive you! Please, get out!” Dahlia pointed atthe door, ordering him to leave. She was afraid that her resolve would weaken if he continued speaking. Despite her lingeringfeelings for Dustin, she couldn't forgive him on behalf of her late brother.
“Dahlia, I’m doing all | 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. | don’twant to see you ever again; leave immediately!”
“What exactly do | 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 fitof anger.
