Chapter 220

"Huh?" Phineas covered his cheek, dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, in a room at the Estelle Hotel, Dahlia lay sprawled across the bed, nearly unconscious, her head heavy and her body weak. Matt stood beside her, grinning wickedly as he admired her voluptuous figure.

"Dahlia, I have to admit, you sure are a beauty," he tsked. "Your looks and figure are perfect. I've slept with countless women, but none were as charming as you. Naturally, I'm the perfect man for you. How dare Dustin Rhys try to claim you as his! But don't worry, you'll be mine after tonight."

Sneering, Matt began to unbutton his shirt before remembering something. He pulled out his phone and pointed the camera toward Dahlia.

"I nearly forgot to record our wonderful night. I promised Dustin that I'd send him a video of us making love. Men don't break promises," Matt grinned excitedly.

"You despicable, shameless bastard! I'll throw you in jail if you touch me!" Dahlia seethed weakly.

"If you don't mind others seeing the video, go ahead. I don't mind. So what if I have to go to prison for a few years? At least I get to sleep with you. Still, there's no need for us to take things that far. You'll just have to marry me after tonight. That way, you'll be able to protect your reputation while having the honor of being slept with by me. Isn't that a great deal?" Matt sniggered confidently.

"In your dreams, fucker! I'd rather die than marry a hypocritical asshole like you!" Dahlia tried to get up several times but flopped back onto the bed pathetically each time. Soon, her face flushed from the exertion, the drug still taking effect.

"Huh?" Matt's expression hardened. "Are you still thinking of that loser right now? I don't get it. How is he better than me? Why do you keep thinking of him?"

"He's better than you in every way. You don't even deserve to compete with him!" Dahlia fumed.

"He's a nobody. If someone hadn't supported him, do you think he would have made it to where he is today? That dickhead ruined my plans so many times. I swear I'm going to kill him one day!" Matt snarled.

"I'll kill you if you touch a hair on his head!" Dahlia swore, her expression ferocious.

"You're still protecting that asshole? I better teach you a lesson!" Matt yanked off his belt and began to lash out at Dahlia. "You whore! I'll kill you! You better say that I'm the best and that I'm the man you want!"

Soon, Dahlia's fair skin turned bloody as whip marks littered her body. Still, she remained silent, digging her teeth into her lip stubbornly.

"F***! You're stubborn, eh? I'll fuck you up tonight!" Infuriated, Matt yanked off his clothes and lunged toward her.

As he was tearing at Dahlia's clothes, the room door flew open with an ear-splitting boom, and a formidable figure stormed in murderously. Instantly, a freezing wind whistled in, and lightbulbs exploded.
