Chapter 89
“You act tough and ruthless, Dustin, but you’re still terrified of the Wyatt family!” Bella’s voice got louder and louder. “Maybe it’s because my father has some hold over you, or maybe it’s because you know the hidden power of the Wyatt family, you’re afraid of all of us, so you don’t dare to take real action against anyone! What’s wrong? Did I hit a nerve?
“You’re nothing but a coward!”
Bella laughed loudly. She looked very satisfied with herself as though she had seen through Dustin entirely.
Dustin’s face darkened.
It seemed that by sealing her memories about what had happened with the Verdant Gang, he had made her arrogant and delusional.
Did she not know that Shadow One and Shadow Two were already dead?
Rage surged in Dustin’s heart.
It was true that he had been holding back for the sake of his adoptive father’s kindness toward him. That was why he did not harm the Wyatt sisters despite his rage.
He did not expect his consideration of their family would delude Bella into thinking that he was afraid of the Wyatt family’s power and prompt her to come up with such a devious plan!
Dustin glared at Bella. His entire being radiated suppressed threat.
“Stop acting so tough! Do you really think you can scare me? Hmph! I’m not afraid of you at all. To me, you’re nothing but a clown!” Bella snickered,
“I’ll stand right here. I want to see what you’ll do to me,” she said tauntingly.
Dustin breathed heavily as his fury exploded.
In the blink of an eye, Dustin rushed to stand before Bella in a whoosh. He was so fast that he was almost a blur.
His hand shot forth and gripped Bella by the throat. He lifted her off the floor.
Bella’s eyes widened in shock, and her pretty face turned pale. Her gaze filled with disbelief and terror.
She had never expected Dustin would actually attack her.
Was he really not afraid of the Wyatt family?
“Dustin, let go of me! Do you know the consequences of doing this?” she shouted as her eyes burned with
rage.
Dustin’s eyes glinted coldly. He gripped her tighter.
Bella could hardly breathe, and her vision blurred.
At that moment, she was on the verge of death.

Dustin wanted to kill her!
How dare he?
An overwhelming fear flooded Bella’s heart, and she began to tremble uncontrollably,
“No… Don’t…”
She started to panic. Her voice shook.
Dustin nearly crushed Bella’s throat, but he did not do it in the end,
“I’m only letting you live because of the kindness your father showed me,” he said icitly.
“If you push me to my limits again, I will kill you even if it means betraying the teachings of my mentor
The threat in Dustin’s words made Bella go cold,
She had never seen such a scary version of Dustin before. He was like a wholly different person then the one who had served the Wyatt family on a bent knee.
Dustin loosened his hold, and Bella finally managed to breathe.
She sucked in huge gasps of air and no longer felt as arrogant and fearless as before.
“If I recall correctly, you’re left–handed,” Dustin suddenly said as he glanced at Bella’s left hand. “You must have drugged Camille with your own hands. Is that right?”
Once he said that, a light flashed and faded.
Bella let out a shriek of pain.
Two of her pretty and delicate fingers were cut off!
Dustin had cut two fingers on her left hand!
Bella’s screams were heart–wrenching.
She was an A–list celebrity, and her image was more important than anything in the world.
With two of her fingers severed, how could she ever face the world again?
She was in so much pain she almost passed out.
“This is your lesson!” Dustin said coldly. He then turned away without another glance at her. He picked up Camille and left the hotel without looking back.
