Chapter 181
“S–so that was a charm after all?”
Everyone at the scene was frozen in ce as they stared at the red snake that Xavier vomited.
One by one, their faces showed looks of disbelief. No one could’ve ever imagined that the esteemed he
ir of the Horst family, who had a bright and promising future ahead of him, had stooped this low just to c
ourt someone.
“Xavier, I never thought you’d be like this!” udia yelled angrily in shock.
Who knew that she’d be the one who would be deceived by trusting him too much in the end? She alm
ost
became an aplice in his schemes too!
“–” Xavier was at a loss for words as his face turned pale.
The truth was alreadyid bare for all to see, so even if he still insisted on denying it, his attempts woul
d be
absolutely futile.
“Hmph. It’s a good thing Dustin has a good eye to see through your evil schemes. Otherwise, She w
ould’ve
fallen right into your trap!” Ruth spat, her expression full of contempt.

She hated cespicable and shameless men like him the most, the type who was incapable ofnding a
girl for
himself, and yet insisted on using unorthodox methods to do so. Absolutely disgusting!
She said nothing to all of this and merely looked at Xavier with disgust and a heightened sense of
awareness.
“Yeah, so what if I gave her the charm? The only reason I did that was because I liked She so much!
I assure you that I’m the only person who’s the best match for She in the entirety of South City, so m
uch so that Uncle Caden already treats me like his son–in–
Xavier roared, clearly irritated.
“Ugh, you’re such a hypocrite! It still doesn’t change the fact that you had to stoop so low to get what yo
u
want. You’re disgusting!” Ruth spat on the ground.
“What do you know? What I have is true love for She, a love that can’t be
Xavier retorted angrily.
“True love? If it really was true love as you proimed, why’d you have to kidnap Miss Murray in the fir
st
ce?” Dustin snorted.
“What the fuck are you talking about, kid?” Xavier scowled.
“Miss Murray had been attacked twice, and your timing was right on the dot, which meant that someon
e
secretly tipped you off. And as for the Serpent Love Charm and the Spider Venom you put inside the Fo
ur
Scoundrel’s bodies, they both came from the same person. So, I’ve concluded that you have close ties
to the Four Scoundrels,” Dustin exined as a matter of factly.
“What a load of bullshit!” Xavier yelled in response.
“If you really did nothing wrong as you imed, then would there still be any need to kill the man off
just now?
Dustin threw the question back.
“I–
I was just worried about She’s safety, which is why I struck him with my full power!” Xavier exined
stubbornly.
“Is that so? We still have a survivor here, so what say we call them up to ask them their side of the stor
y?” Dustin said before picking up a badly injured Wade with one hand.
It was a good thing Wade was still semi–alive and notpletely out of the picture yet.
“That’s enough! Everything ends here, right now!” udia shouted all of a sudden.
“Didn’t you want me to state my case just now? Why the change of mind now?” Dustin snickered.
“You’d better quit it now if you know what’s good for you, Dustin! Tearing each other apart like this won’t
benefit anyone. Besides, this matter should be kept between the three
of us and our families. We’lle up with the best way to deal with this, so we certainly don’t need any
outsiders butting into our business now!” udia roared at Dustin.
The Murray family, Doyle family, and Horst family had always been longtime friends. The three families
were
basically married to one another as their interests were intertwined. If one of them went down, then the
rest
would go down together too.
Thus, if the scandal got out today, then it wouldn’t just be the Horst family’s reputation that would be da
maged, but the Murray family and the Doyle family too.
Therefore, even if it were at She’s awkward expense right now, they had to cease all questioning. im
mediately.
“Wait, this guy’s rotten to the core, and yet you still insist on helping him? Have you ever considered Sh
e’s feelings?” Ruth yelled back in frustration.
“Shut up, you don’t have the right to butt into our business!” udia spat in disgust.
“Why you-” Just as Ruth was about to explode in fury again,
Dustin stopped her by putting his hand in front of her. “Just let it go already. She’s right; it’s their own st
eaming heap of shit to take care of. It has nothing to do
with us.”
“But what about She?” Ruth frowned. The two of them had a good thing going, so she did not want h
er best
friend to suffer like this.
“I’ll be fine, Ruth. I’ve decided to leave this matter in the hands of my father,” She said as she forced
out at
