Chapter 138 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
After that big incident at the party, Dustin finally returned to East Swinton Hospital. When he entered the ward. he noticed that Florence and James had already arrived.
âWhich evil bastard beat up my daughter to such a state? How could they be so cruel?!â
âExactly! If I find out which bastard did this. Iâll tear them into pieces!â
Seeing the injured Dahlia, the Nicholsons couldnât help but curse, feeling pity for her.
âWhy are you here? We didnât even contact you.â Suddenly, one of them noticed Dustin, who was standing at the door.
âI came to check on Dahliaâs injury.â Dustin walked into the room slowly, his face not showing a hint of expression.
âGet out! Youâre not welcome here!â James roared, letting out his pentâup anger.
âDustin! Tell us the truth. Does my daughterâs injury have anything to do with you?!â Florence glared at him.
âI donât have the details about how she was injured. Perhaps you should ask Julie this question instead.â Dustin replied.
*Julie? Speaking of which, where is she? Didnât she attend the party with my sister? Why isnât she here?â James frowned.
âCould it be that Julie is injured too? Dustin! What exactly is going on here? Who hurt my daughter? And where is Julie?â Florenceâs expression immediately turned dark.
âI think it would be best if you didnât find out.â Dustin shook his head.
âIf you have something to say, then say it! No matter who hurt my sister, I will make them pay!â James said furiously.
âThatâs right! We wonât let them off easily!â Florence exclaimed.
âThe person who injured Dahlia is Tina Hummer,â Dustin answered truthfully.
âTina Hummer? Whoâs that?â James had no clue.
âThe daughter of the richest man in Swinton, Edwin Hummer.â Dustin replied.
âWhat?! Sir Hurrmerâs daughter?!â Everyone was stunned by this piece of information.
They exchanged glances, not knowing how to reply. Especially Florence and James, whose anger immediately disappeared.
They wouldâve been yelling for revenge if it had been an ordinary person. Yet, when they heard the name Hummer, they didnât even dare to get angry.
âWe had no grudges against the Hummer family. How could Ms. Hummer be so cruel to us?â Florence gulped.
âThatâs right! My sister was invited to the party. How did she cross Ms. Hummer?â James frowned, deep in

thought.
The others were uneasy as well. The Hummer family was someone they would never dare to provoke. Even if
they were wrongly accused, they couldnât do anything about it.
âYou wonât have to do anything. In three days, Iâll let Tina Hummer apologize to you all in person.â Dustin
assured easily.
âHey! Do you even know what youâre saying? Do you know who Ms. Hummer is? Do you think thatâs something you can handle? Youâll let her apologize? Look at yourself!â James said, unimpressed.
âExactly! Do you have no idea who you are? You just know how to brag all day long! If you really had that ability, why would you let them hurt my daughter in the first place?!â Florence exclaimed.
It was obvious that they did not take Dustinâs words seriously..
After all it was Edwinâs daughter. A true billionaire. Even they were afraid of provoking them, let alone a
nobody like Dustin.
âYou all must be the patientâs relatives.â At that moment, a nurse walked into the room
âWe just received a notice that the patient shall be transferred to a VIP ward and receive better treatment. All
of this will be free of charge. Will you guys accept this offer?â
âFree of charge? Of course, of course. We most definitely accept.â Florenceâs eyes sparkled as she nodded
fervently.
âThatâs great, please follow me.â After a signal from the doctor, a few others came into the ward to help Dahlia
into the new ward.
Dustin stood still as he watched the people leave the room. It was his order to switch to a VIP ward.
Although he was not afraid of Edwin, it was still inevitable that he would seek revenge. This was his safety
measure.
A few moments after Florence and the others left the room, Julie sprinted into the ward.
âAunt Florence! I have big news! I just saw
Before she could finish her sentence, she was stunned. Her eyes widened as her gaze landed on Dustin. âYou!
Why are you here?â
âYouâre just in time. I have something to ask.â Dustin approached her slowly.
âDâDonât corne any closer! What are you trying to do? Iâm warning you, slay back!â Julie retreated two steps.
backward in fear.
She could still vividly picture the scere earller where Tina was brutally beaten up.
In her eyes, Dustin was a maniac!
âWhy are you so afraid? Could it be that youâre guilty of something?â Dustin said lightly.
âYouâre the one who should be guilly! I donât have anything to hide. Whatâs there for me to be afraid of?â Julie declared, putting up a front.

âGood. Then let me ask you, were you the one who framed Dahlia for stealing at tonightâs party?â Dustinâs
demeanor turned cold.
âNonsense! Weâre cousins, how could I harm her? Iâm warning you, donât accuse someone innocent!â Julieâs expression contorted into a panic.
âAccuse someone innocent?â Dustin laughed coldly.
âThen tell me, how did this end up in Dahliaâs bag? Who else would have access to her bag other than you?â He tossed a box in front of her with a pair of ruby earrings inside.
âHâHow would I know? Itâs not me!â Julieâs eyes flashed with panic as she desperately clung to her lie.
âYou better think clearly before you answer. Otherwise, youâd lose your chance.â Dustin said expressionlessly.
âWhat do you mean? Are you saying that youâll lay a finger on me?â Julie shouted sternly.
âYou have one minute left.â Dustin lifted a finger.
âWhat on earth are you trying to do? Iâm not afraid of you!â Julie said as she backed away slowly.
âTen seconds left.â
âDustin! Iâm warning you.â Before Julie could finish her threat, footsteps could be heard outside the room.
âBoss. I already got the information that Danlia is in this ward!â
âGood! You, keep a lookout. The others. follow me!â
After an exchange of words, a few assassins dressed in black immediately swarmed the room.
âWho is Dahlia Nicholson?â The leader scanned the room with a piercing gaze.
âShe is.â Dustin pointed his finger at Julie.
The next second, with a sharp âClangâ, two swords were pressed against Julieâs neck.
âBring her!â
