An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1290
Harper couldn’t understand why Brooke had shown this secret place to someone he had only met.
“Well…” Brooke hesitated, feeling awkward. He couldn’t just say that Dustin had barged in. Dustin
explained, “I’m here to visit my uncle, Cinna.”
“That’s right, this is Mr. Rhys, Cinna’s nephew. It’s only natural for him to visit his uncle,” Brooke said
solemnly. “Nephew? Uncle?” Harper looked at Dustin suspiciously.
“Grandpa, are you sure he’s not lying? Mr. Shaffer has been in a coma for ten years. “And suddenly, his
nephew shows up to visit. Don’t you think something fishy is going on?”
“You’re overreacting. I trust Mr. Rhys is not a bad man,” Brooke said firmly, dismissing her doubts..
“But-!”
Harper was about to say more, but Brooke held his hand to cut her off. ” Enough, let’s talk about this

“Oh, that bastard, Ziggy Larkspur, is back. He claims that the medicine you prescribed him last time
worsens his condition.
“He said if you don’t fix it today, he’ll destroy Harmony Healers!” Harper was indignant. Brooke frowned
at this news. “I thought we would have time before troubles started, but I didn’t think it would be this
soon.”
Dustin asked, “What’s going on, Dr. Busch?”
Brooke explained, “Our Harmony Healers are at a prime location and have a good reputation.
“A pharmaceutical company has been attempting to buy us out, but I’ve refused each time. So, they’ve
sent people here to cause trouble and damage our reputation.”
Dustin raised an eyebrow, “So, they’re resorting to brute force? “How dare they be so bold? Doesn’t
anyone keep them in line?”
“Well… reporting them to the authorities is useless. These bastards are fast, and they vanish once the
officers show up.
“Even if they are caught, they have powerful supporters who will have them out in no time,” Brooke
said. It was a difficult situation for him to be in. Brooke felt helpless even if he had divine medical skills.
He had been harassed for months.
Dustin offered, “Dr. Busch, why don’t we go downstairs and see what’s happening? I have experience
dealing with these people, and maybe I can help.”
Brooke had cared for Cinna for ten years, so Dustin thought he should repay the favor.
“What can you do?” Harper sneered at him.
“Ziggy is a notorious figure in South City and has powerful connections. You’re an outsider. How can
you fight against him?”
“She’s right, Mr. Rhys. You can’t afford to upset Ziggy. Don’t worry about it. Let me take care of it.

thoughtfully.
“Grandpa, you don’t have to worry. I’ve already informed Cody, and he’ll take care of Ziggy. “We’ll just
go down and hold them back until Cody gets here,” Harper said confidently.
“It looks like we’ll need to rely on Cody. “Brooke nodded.
“Let’s go downstairs and meet them.” With that, he led them down to the first floor of Harmony Healers.
On the first floor, a scarred-faced man sat at the counter, slicing an apple. His henchmen sat behind
him, pushing all the patients out of the way.
All the doctors and apprentices from Harmony Healers were huddled in one corner, trembling with fear
and unable to speak.
“Hey, where’s Brooke? Tell him to get out here!” Ziggy grew impatient and grumbled.
“I’m counting to three; if he’s not here, I’ll wreck this place!”
