Chapter 766 by Marina Vittori

Natasha was seething with rage. She knew how sincere Dustin’s feelings were for Dahlia. It even made her envious.

But Dahlia not only took it for granted, she also resorted to violence. How could she be so foolish? Natasha had reached her limit today. Dahlia could raise her hand against anyone but her man. “Forget it, Natasha. Let’s go. I have nothing else to say,” Dustin said impassively.

“Hmph! Reflect on your actions!” Natasha sneered and got in the car before speeding away.

“How did it come to this? How?” Dahlia muttered to herself as she watched the tail lights disappear. She was lost and disoriented.

Although she acted impulsively earlier, she was just preventing Dustin from making another big mistake. Why did nobody understand her? What exactly did she do wrong?

“Dahlia, what are you doing out here? It’s cold. Let’s go back in.” Julie had rushed out after her. She wrapped a coat around her to keep her warm.

“Julie, do you think I was wrong?” Dahlia asked, still looking lost.

“Of course not! It’s all Dustin’s fault!” Julie said with righteous indignation, “Gavin clearly saved him. He’s not only ungrateful, but he even resorted to violence. He doesn’t have a heart!” “Dustin isn’t usually like that. Why was he so different today?” Dahlia couldn’t understand. “Why else? He was jealous, of course!” Julie explained seriously, “Gavin comes from a wealthy family in Oakvale. He has power and authority. Plus, he’s good-looking. Dustin clearly envies him and feels hatred for him. Not to mention he saw you dancing with him. He must have been furious. That’s why he hit him.”

Dahlia fell silent after hearing Julie’s explanation. She didn’t know who to trust anymore. Her mind was a mess, and her heart felt empty. It was as if she lost something precious.

Even though she hated to admit it, she had inadvertently pushed Dustin toward Natasha. While she and Dustin grew more distant in the process.

Meanwhile, in the car, Natasha couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer. “What happened between you and Dahlia? Why did she hit you?”

“It’s almost comical to discuss.” Dustin chuckled and briefly explained the situation to Natasha. As Natasha listened, her expression turned cold. She cried out in fury, “She’s too much! How can she hit you because of someone she just met? What a wench!”

She had always thought of Dahlia as a candid person. It turned out that she was just foolish. How could she not see Dustin’s true character after all this time? She’d rather believe a stranger than him.

To Natasha, Dahlia was the most foolish woman ever.

“Forget it. It’s all in the past now. Let’s not bring it up anymore.” Dustin shook his head.

Their conflict started from Dahlia’s lack of trust and Gavin’s scheming. Gavin portrayed himself as the hero, saving the damsel in distress. He offered his timely help and appeared righteous. It made his act quite convincing.

But if Dahlia had fully trusted Dustin, this situation wouldn’t have happened either. In the end, a rift still existed between them.

“Does it still hurt?” Natasha asked tenderly.
