Chapter 557

“I’m not drinking that. Get lost.” Dustin’s words were short and sweet, but he brought a deathly

see you want to do this the hard way, you bastard! There has never been anyone who’s disgraced me in such a manner before. Let me make it clear, if you don’t finish this glass of wine, there’s no way you’re walking
