An Understated Dominance - Chapter 193

“You! How dare you hit me?” Mr. Marcs shouted, holding his face, still stinging from the slap. His expression showed both anger and shock.

With the Harmons backing him, everyone usually tried to please Mr. Marcs. When had anyone ever had the nerve to hit him before?

“So what if I smacked you? As an employee, you’re supposed to follow the company’s rules,” Dustin replied boldly. “But look at you! You steal from the company and mix bad products with the good ones. You deserve that smack!” With that, Dustin stepped forward and slapped Mr. Marcs again. Mr. Marcs felt dizzy and blood dripped from his nose and mouth.

The noise drew a crowd, and many people stopped to watch.

“Wow! Who is this guy? How dare he hit Mr. Marcs?”

“Causing chaos on the Harmons’ property! He’s really bold!”

“He must be clueless. He’s going to get in a lot of trouble!”

The crowd murmured among themselves, intrigued by the scene.

“Rhys! Are you out of your mind? Stop it now!” Julie exclaimed, shocked at what she saw.

“Dustin! Do you have any idea how much trouble you’re in? How could you hit Mr. Marcs? You’re not leaving here in one piece today!” Matt yelled angrily.

But Dustin didn’t seem worried at all. He continued to hit Mr. Marcs. He could ignore Mr. Marcs’ talk before, but now he was getting violent. That was too much for Dustin to accept.

“Security! Someone! Help!” Mr. Marcs cried out in pain.

Within moments, a group of guards rushed in. They quickly surrounded Dustin.

“Rhys! How could you do this to Mr. Marcs?”

“Marcs is coming! You’re going to regret this!” Julie frowned when she saw that they had backup. She glanced at Dustin, eager to see what trouble he would be in.

“Hmph! You foolish idiot! No one can save you now!” Matt enjoyed seeing Dustin face consequences from Mr. Marcs. Dustin had annoyed him for a long time, but Matt hadn’t acted on it yet because he wanted to maintain his reputation. Now, he felt thrilled that someone was finally going to teach Dustin a lesson.

“What are you all doing just standing there? I want to see him get hurt—now! I’ll take the blame!” Mr. Marcs shouted at the guards, pointing at Dustin.

Suddenly, a loud voice rang out just as the guards were about to act. A man with a square face strode over, commanding attention. He had several men with him. Dustin recognized him as Morgan Finn, the vice president of Harmon Pharmaceuticals.

When the crowd saw him, they quickly made way. Even Mr. Marcs, who had been yelling at the guards, fell silent.

“Is this his boss? We can’t be that unlucky, can we?” Julie thought, feeling a wave of anxiety. She could tell that this man was important because of how scared Mr. Marcs looked.

“This guy really hit the jackpot!” Matt grumbled, frustrated. He had hoped Mr. Marcs would finally get back at Dustin, but this unexpected arrival seemed to ruin that chance.

“Mr. Finn, you’ve arrived just in time. This man here is stealing from the company instead of protecting it. He’s sold faulty products, which could seriously harm the company’s reputation. You need to—

“To arrest him,” Dustin said, pointing at Mr. Marcs.

Morgan squinted and hummed softly. “Oh? Are you telling me what to do? And who are you? Do I even know you?”

“Mr. Finn, we’ve met before,” Dustin replied.

“So what? I’ve met a lot of people. Should I remember all of them?”

Morgan looked Dustin up and down with disdain. “And who do you think you are? Why are you interfering in the company’s business?”

Dustin frowned at Morgan’s words. “Mr. Finn, as the vice president, shouldn’t you address actions that could harm the company’s reputation?”

“Whether I look into this is up to me. What proof do you have that Mr. Marcs is selling bad products?”

“You want proof? Here it is!” Dustin kicked over a box, spilling Immortunol all over the floor.

“Hey, young man! So what if these Immortunols are substandard? How can you prove they belong to Mr. Marcs? How do we know you didn’t steal them?” Morgan shot back.

Mr. Marcs was momentarily surprised, but he quickly recovered. “That’s right! Mr. Finn, this guy is a thief! I caught him stealing from us! I never expected him to fight back so aggressively! He’s truly awful!”

“I can back that up! He’s the one who stole the Immortunols!” Julie added.
