An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1387

Chapter 1387: Impulsive

“What? Are you going to take action again?”

Dustin glanced back and forth, giving a cold smile. “I initially saved your daughter, then gave you the prescription, and yesterday I even brought old man Christopher back from the brink of death.

I’ve done so much for you, and your Torby family doesn’t show gratitude. Now you want to repay kindness with enmity.

If this matter were to spread, what would happen to the reputation and face of your Torby family?”

Upon hearing this, Kevin and the others couldn’t help but change their expressions.

It was precisely because he considered the family’s reputation that he had instructed Scott to poison secretly.

In this way, even if something went wrong, he could make Scott the scapegoat and absolve himself of responsibility.

Now that Scott was dead, if he were to confront Dustin in public, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t leave any evidence behind.

Killing someone and repaying kindness with enmity, once that reputation spread, it would greatly affect the credibility of the Torby family.

After careful consideration, Kevin finally chose to step back temporarily.

“Sophia, what are you doing? Dr. Dustin has done us a favor. How can you speak ill of him like this? You have no manners! Step aside!”

Kevin first scolded Sophia, then pushed aside two martial arts experts who were blocking the way and approached Dustin with a smile. “Dr. Dustin, I’m truly sorry. My wife was just worried about her father-in-law’s health, so she spoke impulsively and may have offended you. Please forgive her.”

In some situations, the usual routine for husband and wife was for one to play the good cop, and the other the bad cop.

If threats worked, that would be the best outcome. If not, at least they wouldn’t completely ruin their relationship.

“It seems that there are still reasonable people in the Torby family. I thought you had no shame at all,” Dustin sneered.

“You—!”

Sophia was about to lose her temper, but Kevin stopped her with his eyes and then smiled at Dustin. “Dr. Dustin, we are deeply grateful for your great kindness. If you have any requests, please don’t hesitate to ask. As long as I can do it, I will do my best to fulfill it!”

“No need. I have no right to accept your gratitude, so I’ll take my leave.”

Dustin snorted and left directly.

If it weren’t for Kevin’s wise decision to cut his losses, he would have almost lost his temper just now.
