Chapter 1593 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
The night passed quickly.
The next morning, Dustin suddenly received a phone call from Eleanor.
âHello, Dustin. Weâd like to talk with you. Can we meet?â Eleanor sounded gentle.
âThereâs nothing for us to talk about. You can only blame yourselves for everything that happened,â Dustin replied coldly.
âDustin, I know I was wrong. Iâm very regretful of my decisions. Please give me a chance to make amends.â Eleanor pleaded.
âGive you a chance? What about Lana? She didnât do anything wrong, but because of you, sheâs dead. Did you ever give her a chance?â Dustin remained unfazed.
âYouâve misunderstood the situation. Lanaâs death has nothing to do with us. I swear that I knew nothing about it at first,â Eleanor spoke earnestly.
âDid you think I would believe you? You and Scott are birds of a feather,â Dustin said coldly.
Dustin had already experienced her cunning and selfish nature and how she never meant what she said. She would never have softened her stance if she hadnât been pushed into a corner.
âDustin, I know you doubt me, but I am truly innocent. To prove my innocence, Iâve investigated the real murderer.
âIn fact, apart from Scott, there is another person directly related to Lanaâs death,â Eleanor said mysteriously. Dustin raised an eyebrow. âOh? Who?â
âIf you want to know, come and meet me at Grace Brothel. We can talk face to face and clear up all misunderstandings. Iâll be waiting for you,â Eleanor said before swiftly ending the call.
Dustin held his phone, his brows furrowing. Lanaâs death had been weighing on his mind, and if there was another person involved in her murder, he couldnât simply ignore it.
The problem was, was Eleanor lying? Was she truly repentant or just setting a trap, planning for an ambush?
Dustin didnât worry much about it and decided to meet with her after some thought. The Welch family and the Forrest family were on the verge of bankruptcy and wouldnât be able to create any major issues.
If Eleanor honestly admitted to her mistakes, she might still be able to live. Otherwise, any tricks from her would only lead to her death. It was 8:00 pm. Grace Brothel was located at Inner City and was highly renowned in Oakvale.
It was different from the typical restaurants and resembled a classic brothel. It was also a large building with three floors, all of them appearing vintage in design.
The first floor was for dining and drinking, the second floor was for entertainment, and the third floor was a hotel.
The individuals in Grace Brothel were all specially chosen handsome men and beautiful women to suit various preferences. It was a place where celebrities and fashion models were a common sight as long as one could afford the price.
Because of its unique nature, many high -ranking officials and dignitaries enjoyed visiting Grace Brothel for entertainment. Naturally, Grace Brothel was an illegal establishment, but there were always exceptions to be made.
Grace Brothel was one of Celestial Allianceâs businesses and a significant source of their income. Because of that, it had become of a gray area after various arrangements behind the scenes.
The authorities tended to overlook its operations as long as no major incidents occurred. Meanwhile, Eleanor and Elena were seated in a luxurious room on the first floor of Grace Brothel. Their gazes occasionally shifted toward the door like they were waiting for someone.
âEleanor, are you sure that Dustin will come? Weâve been waiting for an hour, and thereâs still no sign of him.â Elena was getting nervous.
Since they had already made a pledge before Anders, they would be in big trouble if they failed to deal with Dustin.
âDonât worry, Dustin will definitely come,â Eleanor said confidently.
âHeâs the kind of person who values loyalty and would do anything to exact revenge for Lana. If he found out that there was another person involved in her death, he would definitely do something about it.â
âI know, but Iâm worried that he saw through our plan and wonât dare to come,â Elena said as she looked around anxiously.
âHe didnât even hesitate when he killed Scott, so heâs not a timid person. Even if he has his suspicions, he will still come. Letâs just wait a little longer. He should be here soon,â Eleanor said seriously.
