An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1300
“Mr. Swanson, I don’t like being threatened. “Let me give you some advice: don’t mess with me, or your Swanson family will regret it,” Dustin said casually.
“You’re quite bold, aren’t you?” Zion sneered.
“Alright, if you’re that confident, we’ll wait and see.” With that, he left. The Swanson family wouldn’t want a public confrontation. He would find another way to get the formula later.
“Kid, you’re in trouble now for crossing Mr. Swanson!” Ziggy sneered as he gathered his crew and left. Even though Ziggy’s plan failed today, he didn’t leave empty-handed. The Swanson family had their eyes on the Dew Balm formula Dustin had.
Ziggy believed that getting it would bring them great rewards.
“Mr. Rhys, we’re thankful for your help today. Harmony Healers would’ve been in a tight spot without you,” Brooke expressed his gratitude genuinely.
“Dr. Busch, it was nothing much. Just helping out,” Dustin replied humbly with a smile. “You’re a talented young person with amazing skills. I’m impressed,” Brooke acknowledged.
“Come on, what’s the big deal? It was just luck,” Harper said dismissively, crossing her arms.
“Harmony Healers would’ve been in trouble without that old formula.”
“Harper, show some respect!” Brooke scolded. “Mr. Rhys has helped us twice, and your attitude is disrespectful and uncalled for.”
“Did I say something wrong? He was clearly showing off, and it could’ve caused problems!” Harper retorted defiantly.
“You-!” Just as Brooke was about to lose his temper, Cody intervened. “Master Brooke, please stay calm. Harper was only looking out for Harmony Healers, even if her words were out of line. Please forgive her behavior.”
“If only Harper were as understanding as you, I’d be at ease,” Brooke said, his frustration and helplessness evident.
Harper, his only granddaughter, had been spoiled and pampered from a young age, which caused her unruly demeanor.
“Harper, you’re also at fault here. Mr. Rhys helped us today, and you were disrespectful and lacked manners,” Cody scolded Harper. Harper pouted and appeared upset but remained silent.
“Mr. Rhys, I appreciate your assistance earlier. Your remarkable skills surprised me, especially at your age. You’re impressive,” Cody complimented Dustin before getting to the point.
“So, what are your plans for the Dew Balm?”
Dustin candidly responded, “Are you considering buying the formula too?” Cody’s change in attitude was evident; it was clear that he shared the same motive as Zion.
“If you’re willing to sell it, that’s great. If not, we can still work together in the long run,” Cody said with a smile.
“I witnessed the remarkable effects of the Dew Balm earlier, and I’m confident it’ll be a huge success once we promote it. This product can potentially make us a fortune, even more than 20 million.”
The Dew Balm’s ability to heal injuries and scars within half an hour was exceptional and unmatched in Oakvale. He thought it would be a guaranteed success if produced in large quantities.
“Mr. Ostrower, the Dew Balm has significant side effects,” Dustin calmly explained.
“I administered a strong dose earlier for rapid healing. While Ziggy appears fine now, he may later suffer from severe abdominal pain and diarrhea.
“In the worst-case scenario, it could even lead to shock. This ointment is not for sale as it would bring risks to users.
