Chapter 212 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Roderick stood there frozen, his face was pale. Heâd experienced all kinds of hardships all his life, but at that moment, he didnât know what to do.
He thought it was bad enough that heâd gotten cheated on. He didnât expect that thereâd be a bigger âsurpriseâ that followed. His son wasnât actually biologically his?
This revelation was even more severe than finding out he was being cheated on! âMr. Rhys, are⦠you sure?â Roderickâs eye twitched. He was clinging to the very last glimmer of hope.
âMr. Brooks, itâs a hard pill to swallow, but based on your bodyâs current condition, you lost your ability to have
children a long time ago. If you donât believe me, you can go get tested yourself,â Dustin said firmly.
To be honest, he was starting to pity Roderick.
Although he was swamped with riches, his wife had an affair, and his son wasnât his.
This double whammy would have driven any ordinary person insane.
âAlright. Thank you, Mr. Rhys. There are too many people here. Shall we find another place to talk?â Roderick
asked, his face completely neutral.
âOf course.â Dustin caught Natashaâs eye and immediately agreed.
âAlright. Dan, take Ms. Harmon and Mr. Rhys to the Brooks Manor. Iâll be there after a while,â Roderick
instructed his driver.
Dan hummed in response. Then, he led Dustin and Natasha to the Rolls Royce outside.
After the two left. Roderickâs expression finally turned gloomy.
Whether his son was his or not, he would find out with a paternity test.
He could forgive his wife for her affair, but he couldnât handle raising someone elseâs child.
Dustin and Natasha walked around the garden at the Brooks Manor, gazing at the beautiful scenery
surrounding them.
A few housekeepers trailed behind them, carrying trays of pastries and tea, ready to be called upon anytime.
After taking a stroll through the garden, they found a cool area to rest their feet.
âMs. Harmon, do you think Mr. Brooks can handle this shocking truth?â Dustin asked out of the blue.
Il Chloe hadnât done something so demeaning, he actually wouldnât have stuck his nose where it didnât belong.
âMr. Brooks has gone through all sorts of trials and tribulations. He should be fine. Of course, thatâs if you can

cure his secret illness.â Natasha smiled faintly.
For a man, the ability to produce children was very important.
âAs long as Mr. Brooks believes me,â Dustin responded.
As he spoke, a large shadow suddenly fell over them.
It was Roderick!
âHello, you two. Sorry for making you wait so long.â Roderick wiped the sweat from his forehead, forcing a
smile.
âMr. Brooks, has the matter been settled?â Dustin asked cautiously.
âYes, itâs settled.â Roderick nodded.
Thanks to the power of money, the results of the paternity test were out in less than an hour.
As Dustin said, his son was indeed not his.
When he learned of the outcome, he was furious.
He even had the urge to kill.
However, after so many years, he had developed some attachments to them.
In the end, he let the mother and son live.
But from today on, they were not to appear before him ever again.
âAh
fate truly dealt me a rotten hand! All my life, I did only good deeds, so who would have thought that not
only would I lose my ability to have children, but I would also end up parting ways with my wife and child.â
Roderick heaved a long sigh.
