An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1290

Chapter 1290 Scar-faced Man

Roselyn couldn’t understand why her grandfather had revealed this secret to someone he had just met.

“Well…” Elijah hesitated, feeling a bit embarrassed.

He couldn’t exactly tell her that the young man had forced his way in, could he?

“I am the Lord’s nephew, and I came to visit my Lord,” Dustin explained.

“That’s right, this young man is Sir Lorenzo’s nephew, and it’s only natural for him to visit his uncle,” Elijah said solemnly.

“Nephew? Uncle?” Roselyn looked Dustin up and down with suspicion. “Grandpa, are you sure you’re not being deceived? Sir Lorenzo has been in a coma here for ten years, and suddenly, there’s a nephew? Do you really think that’s possible?”

“Roselyn, you’re overthinking it. I believe in the character of young Mr. Rhys,” Elijah said seriously.

“But…” Roselyn was about to say more when Elijah raised his hand to stop her. “Enough already, what happened downstairs just now? Tell me.”

“Oh, that thug Lenny Mazer is here again. He said that the medicine you prescribed last time not only didn’t cure his injury but made it worse. If you don’t give him an explanation today, he’s going to tear down our Healwell!” Roselyn complained indignantly.

Upon hearing this, Elijah furrowed his brows. “I thought we would have a bit more time, but it seems trouble has arrived sooner than expected.”

“Dr Grantwood, what’s going on?” Dustin asked, trying to find out more.

“Well, you see, Healwell is in a prime location, has a prominent reputation, and there was a pharmaceutical company that has been trying to buy us out. After multiple refusals from me, they’ve been causing trouble and tarnishing Healwell’s reputation,” Elijah explained.
