An Understated Dominance
The Immortunol formula would definitely be his soon.
âYouâre mistaken. I donât mean it that way.â Roderick uttered calmly.
âHuh?â Phineas was puzzled. âWhat do you mean, then?â
âBoth of you are here to borrow my money, arenât you?â Roderick asked back instead of answering.
Phineas let out a sheepish laugh. âOur family ran into some trouble recently, and we need some money to turn
things around. Thatâs why weâve come to you, Mr. Brooks.â
âHow much do you need?â
âAbout three billion dollars?â
âThree billion!â Roderick raised an eyebrow. âSorry, but no can do.â
âWhat?â Phineas shock quickly turned to dismay. âMr. Brooks, three billion is nothing to you. Why canât you
lend us the money?â
âTechnically, Iâve already lent the money to Mr. Rhys, so youâll have to beg him for the money.â Roderick replied
with a sarcastic smile.
âWhat? You lent it to him?â The fatherâson duo was stunned, unable to believe their ears.
There was no way Roderick would have lent that useless punk three billion dollars!
âYouâre not pulling our leg, are you, Mr. Brooks?â Phineas asked again, eyes wide.
âYeah! What are we supposed to do if you give the money to him?â Matt was dismayed.
âThatâs none of my business!â Roderick responded frankly.
âMr. Brooks, how could you lend your money to him instead of us? Considering our friendship, youâre carrying it too far. Do you think that brat is better than the Laney family?â
The Laney family was a noble family that was leagues above Dustin in terms of wealth and connections. Any normal person would know who to side with.
âFirstly, weâre not friends. Secondly, itâs my money. I decide who it goes to. I donât have to ask anyoneâs opinion. Lastly, who the fuck do you think you are? How dare you compare yourselves to Mr. Rhys! You should really look in a fucking mirror!â Roderick snapped scornfully.
âMr. Brooks! Are you going to make the Laney family your enemy just because of that brat?â Phineas growled.
âExactly! You should think this through carefully. Is the Laney family more important or that brat?â Matt quipped. They were sure that a businessman like Roderick would never turn his back on the Laney family.
âSo what if we become enemies? A penniless family like yours is trying to threaten me? Ha! You must have a death wish!â Roderick curled his lip.
âI can cut off all your funds right now. Iâll make sure you never get a penny in this province!â

at this was Bi
His words hit the latherâson duo like a bucket of ice. Theyâd been so agitated that they forgot that
Bucks Brooks they were talking to, whose influence and wealth exceeded the Laney family a gazillion times.
Even when they had been at full power, they still had to lower their heads in front of Roderick, let alone now.
Nonetheless, they could never have dreamed that someone as powerful as Roderick would butt heads with
their family for someone like Dustin.
Did Dustin have connections they werenât aware of?
