An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Chapter 54

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

That was impossible!

They were already divorced. Besides, they were now like water and oil. Why would he help her? Moreover, he wasn’t capable of it.

“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.

“We all have to look out for ourselves! You only have yourself to blame for being so dumb!” Chris mocked scornfully.

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

“I’ll tell you everything!” Chris suddenly had an idea and said in a hurry. “I figured it out! It must be Dustin! He must’ve murdered Mr. Spanner!”

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