Chapter 219 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Meanwhile, at Peaceful Medical Centre, Dustin was reading a book in silence when a Maybach pulled up at the door. The car door opened, and Phineas came out holding some gills.
âMr. Rhys.â Phineas entered the building with a smile, no longer carrying the arrogance he had when they first met.
âDo you need me for something?â Dustin glanced at the other man indifferently. âMr. Rhys, Iâm really sorry about todayâs incident. Please forgive us for being so ignorant.â Phineas smiled apologetically.
He finally understood that there was more than meets the eye when it came to Dustin, who had the support of the Harmon family and the friendship of Big Bucks Brooks. If Phineas wanted to borrow three billion dollars, he had to first get Dustinâs forgiveness.
âHow could a nobody like me make the Laney family apologize?â Dustin replied, unconcerned.
âWhat are you talking about, Mr. Rhys? Youâre young but talented. We admit defeat proudly. Please give us a way out.â Phineas bowed his head. However, Dustin didnât respond. Gritting his teeth, Phineas fell to his knees.
with a thud.
âMr. Rhys, please accept our familyâs sincere apologies. As long as you give us another chance, youâll be our honored guest forever! Iâm willing to offer a third ofâno, half of our property as an apology.â Phineas quickly bowed lower, surprising Dustin, Dustin admired the older man for having the courage to put his pride aside to
apologize.
âWhat should we do about the death of Caitlynâs cat?â Dustin asked coldly.
âWeâll pay her back! We get her as many cats as she wants!â Phineas frantically vowed.
âDustyâs dead. It doesnât matter how many cats you get.â Caitlyn murmured sadly next to Dustin.
âDid you hear that? I donât mind forgiving you, but you offended Caitlyn.â Dustin shrugged.
âIâm so sorry. Ms. Lawler. I swear I wonât do it again! Please forgive me this once. Iâve learned my mistake!â Phineas quickly dragged himself to Caitlyn without getting up, and he began to apologize.
âI forgive you on the condition that you never do anything evil again!â Caitlyn declared gravely.
âDefinitely! Iâve learned my mistake.â Phineas nodded frantically, having no choice but to lower his head
toward them.
âSince Caitlyn forgives you, Iâll let this matter go. You better remember your promise. Hall of your properties.â Dustin reminded calmly.
âOf course. As long as the Laney family is able to pull through, theyâre yours!â Phineas dared not object.
Dustin hummed. He was about to say something else when his phone started ringing.
Dahlia was calling him.

Muffled noises could be heard as soon as he picked up.
âLet me go. I want to go home.â Dahlia demanded weakly.
âWhat do you mean âgo homeâ? Look at how pretty Estelle Hotel is. Letâs keep drinking there.â Matt cackled.
âYou can go alone. Piss off.â
âFucking slut! You better appreciate the chance Iâm giving you. You donât have a say in this. Youâre drinking tonight. Get in!â
As the phone fell to the floor, the cursing became softer until it completely faded away.
Dustinâs face darkened immediately, and the air around him became unbelievably cold.
âWhatâs wrong, Mr. Rhys?â Phineas shivered.
A loud slap rang out as Dustin struck Phineas across the face, causing the latter to fall to the floor. âYou motherfucker! You better hope your son didnât make a mistake, or Iâll destroy your entire family!â Dustin opened the door and dashed out.
