An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 548

Chapter 548 

Dr. Alden did not hesitate to invite Dustin to join them. His medical skills were truly miraculous, to say the least. It was amazing how he could bring someone from the brink of death back to consciousness with just several needles. Had it not been for his ego, Dr. Alden would have asked Dustin to be his mentor. 

“I have no such plans yet. We’ll see when the opportunity arises.” Dustin rejected him nicely. 

Then, without anyone asking, he quickly scribbled down a prescription and handed it to Ruby.” Remember to make sure that your mother takes her medications on time. She’ll have to take them for about a month, and she’ll be alright.” 

“Thank you, Dustin!” Ruby beamed brightly at him 

“I have other plans, so I’ll take my leave now.” Dustin did not stay there much longer and left the hospital soon after. As he left the hospital, Dustin was suddenly reminded that he had yet to change Natasha’s wound dressing today, so he hailed a cab and headed straight for the Harmon 

estate. 

In the Harmons‘ discussion room, Hector was leading a group of the Harmon family’s key members in a meeting. They had divided opinions over the marriage arrangement. 

“Are you really going to break off the marriage alliance, Hector? Have you ever considered what 

this would mean to the family?” Trent asked with pinched brows. 

“I’ve given things serious consideration, Trent. There shall be no marriage alliance!” Hector meant 

what he said. The main agenda of the meeting today was to discuss the breaking off of the 

marriage alliance. The Grants had gone too far. He could not sit back and act like nothing had 

happened. 

“The Grants are already livid over Jayla’s death. If we tell them that we’re breaking off the 

marriage alliance, they’ll use that as an excuse to give us trouble, and when that happens, there’s 

bound to be massive strife between the two families!” Trent warned. 

“The strife has already begun. From the moment the Grants framed me and messed with my 

daughter, there was already no alliance. What we need to do now is strengthen our defenses and be prepared,” Hector said coldly. 

“Must things really come to this? We’ll be in a terrible predicament if we really burn bridges with 

the Grants.” Trent’s expression was tense. 

“I wish that the family can develop in peace too, Trent. But with the difficulties we are facing, both internally and externally, people out there will only see it as an opportunity to take advantage of us if we do not act firmly. We cannot compromise anymore!” Hector said with a 

resolute tone. 

If the Harmons backed off once, they’d have to do it again in the future, and the Grants would only behave even more ruthlessly at that time. 

Hector thought that it’d be better for the Harmons to face the Grants head–on while they still had

the means to do so. And even if they lost, they’d lose with their heads held high. 

“Why are you silent, Jacob? Talk some sense into Hector!” Trent signaled at Jacob frantically to persuade Hector. 

“What’s the point? Hector is the head of the family. He has the final say in every matter.” Jacob seemed to have given up on contributing any thoughts. 

“Jacob, this is a family meeting. Everyone is free to voice their thoughts. I will consider your suggestions if you come up with any good ideas.” Hector encouraged.
