My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

A flash of cold steel swept through the air. John's eyes bulged in shock as he stumbled backward and clutched his neck. Blood gushed persistently from his throat.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

After a few unsteady steps, he collapsed lifelessly to the floor. His eyes were wide open in disbelief, even in death.

"He killed him!"

The Riley family members turned pale and trembled uncontrollably.

Archie's face twisted and turned into a sickly shade of purple.

Dustin did not even look at John's corpse.

The moment John stepped into the Riley family villa with orders to kill him, his fate had been sealed.

"Hell Guards, remove him," Dustin said flatly.

Three shadowy figures emerged as if conjured from the very air. Without a word, they efficiently dealt with John's body.

This was the home of Shawna and her mother, and Dustin did not want to make them feel uneasy. Otherwise, he would not have bothered with the body.

Their practiced movements chilled everyone to the bone.

How many bodies had Dustin's people disposed of before?

As Dustin turned to face the crowd, his gaze swept over them like a sharp blade.

Archie broke into a cold sweat and avoided eye contact at all costs.

The Riley family members were visibly shaking. Some were unable to keep their knees from knocking together.

This "insignificant security guard" had just slain a Legendary Martial Saint. Who would dare cross him now?

"Well, Mr. Finn, still want a wife?" Dustin asked coldly.

"N-No!" Archie waved his hands frantically and shook his head like his life depended on it.

Of course, he still wanted to marry Maisie, but he valued his life far more.

"And you, the Riley family... Still want to force this marriage?" Dustin asked with his icy voice.

The Riley family members' faces turned even grayer, and no one dared to nod.

"No, absolutely not!" Clayton said grimly as his face turned pale.

Satisfied, Dustin did not press further.

"When Shawna comes back, I trust you all know what to say?"

Everyone nodded at the same time.

Meanwhile, after making sure her mother was safe, Shawna hurried back to the hall. Her mind raced with anxiety.

'Please, let Dustin be okay. Please, let nothing happen to him...' she prayed she

Though she had little regard for Dustin at first, his willingness to stand up for her had moved her deeply.

But when she burst into the room, the sight before her left her completely stunned.

She had expected chaos. Maybe she expected a bloody battlefield or even worse for Dustin.

Instead, the scene was oddly peaceful.

The Riley family members, Archie,

and Dustin were all seated comfortably. They sipped tea as though nothing had happened.

Shawna froze in disbelief.

They were sitting together and drinking tea?

Was this some kind of illusion?

She pinched herself hard. The sting confirmed that this was all real.

"Dustin, what... what's going on?" she asked.

Dustin glanced at her with a faint smile. "Everyone here is very reasonable. We talked it out, and they saw my point.

Shawna's eyes widened in disbelief.

Reasonable? Talked it out?

Dustin made it sound so effortless, but if talking was all it took, the world would have no problems at all.

She was unconvinced.

"Ask them yourself if you don't believe me," Dustin said.

Clayton cleared his throat awkwardly. "Yes, we've discussed everything thoroughly. The matter is resolved."

Archie nodded stiffly. "The engagement is canceled. I'll be taking back all the betrothal gifts."

Shawna's jaw dropped.

The Riley and Finn families... just gave in? That easily?

What about the so-called Legendary Martial Saint? Where was he?

'Something isn't right here,' she thought firmly.
