Chapter 358

"Charles, how can you accuse Wesley of being a rapist without any evidence? Just based on what Dahlia says?" Charles was momentarily taken aback, his expression darkening. The tension in the room was palpable.

As Dahlia spoke, she pulled off the jacket Charles had placed over her shoulders, revealing her nightgown, torn and disheveled, as well as the marks she had coaxed Wesley into leaving on her neck. They looked alarming.

The betrayal by the woman he loved felt like a stab to the heart. He looked at the changed Dahlia, speechless. His lips moved to deny it, but no words came out.
