An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1290Harper couldn’t understand why Brooke had shown this secret place to someone he had only met.

“Well...” Brooke hesitated, feeling awkward. He couldn’t just say that Dustin had barged in. Dustin explained, “I’m here to visit myuncle, Cinna.”

“That’s right, this is Mr. Rhys, Cinna’s nephew. It’s only natural for him to visit his uncle,” Brooke said solemnly. “Nephew?Uncle?” Harper looked at Dustin suspiciously.

“Grandpa, are you sure he’s not lying? Mr. Shaffer has been in a coma for ten years. “And suddenly, his nephew shows up tovisit. Don’t you think something fishy is going on?”

“You're overreacting. | trust Mr. Rhys is not a bad man,” Brooke said firmly, dismissing her doubts..“But-!”

Harper was about to say more, but Brooke held his hand to cut her off. ” Enough, let’s talk about this later. “You said there was aproblem downstairs. What happened?”

“Oh, that bastard, Ziggy Larkspur, is back. He claims that the medicine you prescribed him last time worsens his condition.

“He said if you don’t fix it today, he'll destroy Harmony Healers!” Harper was indignant. Brooke frowned at this news. “I thoughtwe would have time before troubles started, but | didn’t think it would be this soon.”

Dustin asked, “What’s going on, Dr. Busch?”Brooke explained, “Our Harmony Healers are at a prime location and have a good reputation.

“A pharmaceutical company has been attempting to buy us out, but I’ve refused each time. So, they’ve sent people here to causetrouble and damage our reputation.”

Dustin raised an eyebrow, “So, they’re resorting to brute force? “How dare they be so bold? Doesn’t anyone keep them in line?”“Well... reporting them to the authorities is useless. These bastards are fast, and they vanish once the officers show up.

“Even if they are caught, they have powerful supporters who will have them out in no time,” Brooke said. It was a difficultsituation for him to be in. Brooke felt helpless even if he had divine medical skills. He had been harassed for months.

Dustin offered, “Dr. Busch, why don’t we go downstairs and see what’s happening? | have experience dealing with these people,and maybe | can help.”

Brooke had cared for Cinna for ten years, so Dustin thought he should repay the favor.

“What can you do?” Harper sneered at him.

“Ziggy is a notorious figure in South City and has powerful connections. You're an outsider. How can you fight against him?”“She's right, Mr. Rhys. You can’t afford to upset Ziggy. Don’t worry about it. Let me take care of it.

“I still have some influence here in South City; they won't dare do anything rash,” Brooke said thoughtfully.

“Grandpa, you don’t have to worry. I’ve already informed Cody, and he'll take care of Ziggy. “We'll just go down and hold themback until Cody gets here,” Harper said confidently.novelbin

“It looks like we'll need to rely on Cody. “Brooke nodded.

“Let's go downstairs and meet them.” With that, he led them down to the first floor of Harmony Healers. On the first floor, ascarred-faced man sat at the counter, slicing an apple. His henchmen sat behind him, pushing all the patients out of the way.

All the doctors and apprentices from Harmony Healers were huddled in one corner, trembling with fear and unable to speak.“Hey, where’s Brooke? Tell him to get out here!” Ziggy grew impatient and grumbled.

“I'm counting to three; if he’s not here, I'll wreck this place!”
