Chapter 1298 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Cody was equally surprised, finding it difficult to believe. Everyone had assumed Dustin was trying to brag and lacked real skills. But, he had completely turned things around and resolved the crisis at Harmony Healers with his ointment. Dustinâs performance was truly remarkable.
âWow⦠Dustin, you did a great job!â After recovering from his astonishment, Brooke clapped and laughed joyfully. He was prepared for failure, but Dustin had worked a miracle. It took him by surprise.
âWhat on earth! What happened to my wound? Why is it gone?â Ziggy kept touching his abdomen, looking concerned. He had put in a lot of effort to stage a deceitful act. If it failed this time, he would face the consequences.
âI never thought there was such a miraculous medicine in the world. If we can get our hands on it, weâll make a ton of money.â Zion squinted his eyes, deep in thought.
As the Swanson family butler, he possessed a sharp mind. Despite the annoyance over their failed plan, he swiftly recognized a new business opportunity. It was amazing to heal the festering wounds within half an hour. An ointment as good as this was unheard of.
If the Swanson family could get this ointment and sell it, they could dominate South Cityâs medical market. They could even go to greater heights.
âYour wound has healed. You can leave, Dustin dismissed them with a wave as if swatting away flies.
âYou little punk! How dare you mess up my plans? Iâll get you!â Seeing the plan fail, Ziggy was seething with anger and ready to attack.
âHold on!â Zion stepped forward and slapped Ziggy.
The slap left Ziggy bewildered. The crowd was confused. They wondered why a sudden fight had broken out between people who seemed to be on the same side.
âMr. Swanson, why did you slap me?â Ziggy, nursing his stinging face, looked upset.
âHmph! How dare you to disrespect Mr. Rhys. Itâs a given that Iâm slapping you for that!â Zion glared at Ziggy fiercely.
Ziggy, puzzled and mournful, scanned the perplexed faces around him. Just moments ago, they were stirring up trouble. The sudden shift and Zionâs use of âMr. Rhysâ struck him as odd.
âWhy are you just standing there? Apologize to Mr. Rhys, or Iâll break your legs!â Zion scolded Ziggy and slapped him again. Ziggy had no other option but to reluctantly approach Dustin. He apologized, âMr. Rhys, Iâm sorry.â
âMr. Rhys, I sincerely apologize for not properly disciplining him. Itâs my fault. I hope you can forgive us,â Zion added politely with a smile. The members of Harmony Healers were utterly confused by this strange turn of events.
Zion, the butler for the Swanson family, usually exuded an air of superiority and showed little interest in others. What had caused his sudden politeness?
