Chapter 20
Time, days later, Baxter cautiously approached Dillon, whose eyes were bloodshot. Ever since he handed him Estelle’s death certificate two days ago, Dillon had hairly moved, as if frozen in place.
He was clearly still hung up on Estelle,
“Are you okay?” Baxter asked softly,
Dillon snapped out of his daze. He lifted his head, staring at Baxter with red–rimmed eyes, as it trying to catch a lie in his expression.
Baxter sighed again. “It won’t change anything if you deny it. Estelle is really gone, and I’m worried about you. Do you want to see her?” he asked.
“No need,” Dillon rejected instinctively.
He thought of Estelle. It she law Alison had come here, she probably wouldn’t want to come back at all
Seeing Dillon zoning out again, Baxter mustered his courage and shook his shoulder. “Come on. You’ve still got employees waiting for you to step up. Do you want Waverly Group to go bankrupt?”
Dillon brushed his hand away and tumed to stare out the window.
“Estelle’s dead. Why would I be upset?” he muttered.
He used to want nothing more than to get rid of Estelle,
He shook his head. “We were all fooled. Extelle was so close to Seth, and Seth helped her trickus.
Sering that Dillon still didn’t believe him, Baxter sighed and shook his head. “Tomorrow is the day Estelle will be cremated. If you don’t believe me, you can go see for yourself”
The word “cremated” felt strange to Dillon
Dillon’s eyes flickered, but he said nothing for a long while.
As he fell back into silence, Baxter sighed once more and left the room helplessly.
The moment Alison saw Baxter step out of the villa, she rushed over and blocked his path.
A pang of guilt hit Baxter when he noticed her. He instinctively stepped back, but Alison was quicker.
She grabbed his sleeve, looking up at him with teary eyes.
*Baxter, can you tell me where Dillon is? i can’t find him,” she pleaded.
Baxter’s eyes unconsciously flicked toward the villa, Was Dillon trying to get him killed?
Alsson caught on quickly. The jealousy in laer eye surged to the surface, twisting her face with resentment.
Dillon had changed, and it was all because of that dead woman, Estelle
Seeing her once gentle face twist into something almost frightening, Baster couldn’t shake the feeling that something was oft. It was as if this was the teal Alison. However, Alison quickly put oja a sunile again

Alison’s eyes cheted with a brief moment of pante, but she quickly regated her composure. She shook her head gently. “I’m not really sue. I Hunk Dillon will
