Chapter 54

“Could it be Dustin?” Dahlia wondered. She then immediately dismissed this thought.

“Chris Nolan! You’re such a vile and despicable human being! I must’ve been blind to believe in someone like you!”

“Bastard! I even thought of you as family! You’re even worse than that trash, Dustin!” Florence and James cursed at him after knowing the truth. They had put their whole trust in Chris. They didn’t expect him to be a fraud.

“Shut the fuck up! My ears are sore from listening to your bickering!” Edward roared, and everyone fell silent at

“Dustin? What a familiar name.” Edward pinched his chin in deep thought.
