Dustin glanced at the keys on the table and said meaningfully, "All this secrecy, just what are you scheming?""You sound as if two weak women like us are capable of plotting a scheme." Eleanor forced a smile."Yeah, we've sincerely repented and have no other ulterior motives. We swear on our lives!" Elena swore, going all out to convince Dustin.Eleanor's eyes twitched when she heard her, wishing she could slap her across the face. "For heaven's sake, why did you include me in your swear?" Eleanor muttered silently to herself."Since there's no scheming involved, let's head up together," Dustin said casually.Eleanor's expression froze.She glanced at Elena and was quick to come up with an explanation. "It's not convenient for Elena since she's in a wheelchair. I have to stay here and take care of her. "Besides, the murderer is treacherous. It's dangerous for us to go up there.""Exactly, it's too dangerous and inconvenient." Elena nodded repeatedly in agreement.Dustin co
Only those with absolute power and influence had the privilege to stay in the prestigious diamond suite."Sir, your room is ready. I wish you a delightful stay." After the bodyguard escorted Dustin to diamond suite four, he bid Dustin farewell and departed.Dustin approached the door and knocked gently, but there was no response.He sensed no apparent danger. At least, there was no imminent threat.Dustin unlocked the door with the key and walked straight in. Inside, he could smell the fragrance of scented candles. The room was also decorated in warm colors, creating a romantic atmosphere. Right across from the door was an elegant arrangement of sandalwood furniture adorned with fine wine and snacks.On the left, a partition draped in red lace concealed an assortment of intimate items. While on the right, a similar partition with white lace covered a bed and a wardrobe.Dustin's gaze swept around the area, and he soon noticed someone lying on the bed on the right. However
"Y-You! You murderer! How dare you kill Holly? You just committed a grave crime!""Guards! Someone, hurry up and arrest him!"The two Grace Brothel employees clamored, accusing Dustin of being the murderer. Their shouts soon resulted in a crowd that gathered around Dustin. Every one of them glared at Dustin angrily. They were filled with righteous indignation.Since Holly was Grace Brothel's best card and had countless admirers, her abrupt demise left the people feeling regretful.Of course, they were still mostly filled with hatred toward the murderer."How dare you commit murder in a place like this? You're digging your own grave!""Grace Brothel is under the Celestial Alliance. And Holly is Fenley's younger sister. There's no way you'll be able to get away with this!" "Get down on your knees and surrender immediately, or else you'll be dealt with accordingly!" The crowd unleashed a series of accusations. Judging from the hostile expressions on their faces, it was clear t
However, Eleanor never expected Anders' so-called ambush would involve Holly's lifeless body. Everyone knew that Holly was Fenley's younger sister. Now that Holly was dead, Fenley would undoubtedly take action, and everyone involved in the incident would face the consequences.It wasn't only Dustin that would suffer. They would have to suffer with him. It wasn't until this moment that she realized Anders had used them. They were like pawns that could be discarded at any moment.However, at this point, it was too late for regrets. All Eleanor could do now was to firmly hold her ground and try her best to extricate herself from the situation."Are you telling me this has nothing to do with you?" Dustin narrowed his eyes."That's right. We know nothing!" Eleanor immediately shook her head."That's right. We've been framed. Please don't misunderstand!" Elena echoed repeatedly."Alright, since you claim it has nothing to do with you, then tell me, who exactly was behind this? Wh
"Madam Lynch, are you ... You're not joking, right? Holly … really died?" Allen still couldn't quite believe it.Holly was a member of the Celestial Alliance. She was powerful and skilled at reading people. How could she possibly be killed?"Oh my! Why would I joke about something so serious? My two girls saw it clearly. Holly's body is upstairs right now. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check," Jennie said, breaking into a cold sweat. "You two, go up and check!" Allen quickly ordered his henchmen to investigate. Soon, two henchmen rushed downstairs and delivered the same grim news. Holly was indeed dead. She was killed with a single blow.Upon hearing the news, Allen erupted in anger. His fierce gaze turned toward Dustin, and he sternly said, "You! Do you even realize what you've done? You'll pay for this with your life!"True to his words, he commanded his men, "Get him! Tear him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!"Holly's death couldn't go unpunished. If
"Hmm?" Allen slightly frowned as he looked at Eleanor and Elena."No ... It's not our fault. We didn't do anything. We're innocent!" Elena fearfully shook her head as she tried to explain."Mr. Bosman, we're friends with Holly. How could we harm her? Please don't let lies deceive you!" Eleanor cried. Then, she pointed at Dustin, "It's all him! He killed Holly and shifted the blame to us. We're defenseless girls. We couldn't fight back. Please, Mr. Bosman, stand up for us! Stand up for Holly!"Allen was infuriated when he looked at their pitiful looks. "Own up to what you've done. What kind of man uses girls as scapegoats?""I speak the truth. Their hearts are more malicious than you can imagine. You'll only harm yourself and others if you trust them," Dustin warned."Nonsense!" Allen glared at him and shouted, "Everyone saw you kill Holly. How dare you argue? It seems you won't confess until there's bloodshed!"Without a word, Allen charged at Dustin. His sword sliced through
Someone in the crowd asked, "What's happening? It's like my body suddenly got heavier."Another agreed, "Such a strong pressure. Could it be an ace arriving?"The unexpected heaviness in the air silenced the previously bustling Poise Brothel. A sense of impending disaster crept into everyone's hearts."Hmm?" Dustin raised an eyebrow as he turned to glance at the entrance. Following the tension, a tall figure in white walked in.He had sharp eyebrows, a majestic appearance, and a piercing gaze that radiated authority. He was so imposing that everyone looked at him in awe."It's Fenley! It's Fenley from the Celestial Alliance!" A surprised exclamation echoed through the crowd.In an instant, the entire Poise Brothel buzzed with excitement. A surprised voice exclaimed, "Is that Fenley? No wonder he's so extraordinary and imposing!" Another chimed in, "Wow! Seeing Fenley here is a rare honor!" Another agreed, "There's no way this matter won't be resolved today!"The crowd erupte
They had to stick to their accusation against Dustin no matter what happened today."Mr. Hudson?" Allen stumbled over and knelt in front of him. "I'm Allen Bosman. At your service!""Holly's dead?" Fenley asked, cutting straight to the chase. "She … she's dead." Allen looked ashamed. "I arrived late for the rescue, and I asked for Mr. Hudson's forgiveness.""Worthless!" Fenley raised his hand and delivered a forceful slap to Allen's face, sending him flying. Allen coughed up blood and struggled to get up."Whoever killed Holly, step forward and face your death," Fenley said, his emotionless gaze sweeping the surroundings with a chilling coldness that cut to the bone."It's him! He killed Holly!" Eleanor pointed at Dustin angrily. She wished she could skin him alive."That's right, that's right! We saw it with our own eyes. He's the killer!" Elena chimed in loudly. "Did you kill Holly?" Fenley looked at Dustin as a chilling light flashed across his eyes."I didn't kill her. S
