An Understated Dominance - Chapter 274

“What’s wrong?” Natasha asked, looking surprised. “I just heard that Dustin has been arrested by the military!” Ruth quickly explained what had happened.

As Natasha listened, her expression turned serious. “Using the military to arrest him? This must be someone with a lot of influence behind it.”

“Do you think the Hummers are involved?” Ruth asked, frowning. “Dustin went on a rampage at the Hummers yesterday and even hurt Edwin’s son. They won’t let this slide.”

“It definitely has to do with them. But just Edwin’s connections wouldn’t be enough to call in the military. I suspect the Grant family is also involved,” Natasha said, thinking it over.

Jade was Joshua’s fiancée. There was no way the Grant family would stay quiet about this. As part of the Tremendous Three, the Grant family had a lot of power over the Belarno Military. It would be easy for them to deal with someone without support.

Even though Natasha knew Dustin was in trouble, she didn’t expect it to escalate so quickly.

“What should we do now?” Ruth asked nervously.

“Find out where Dustin is being held. I’ll take care of the rest.” Natasha said, then turned and walked out the door.

She knew the fight was just beginning. This time, she would take on the Hummers head-on!

Meanwhile, at the Hummer Villa, Joshua lay on the bed, his face pale. His arms were covered in thick bandages, and he looked weak.

An old man, frail and focused, sat beside him, diligently treating his wounds, sweat forming on his forehead. Edwin and Tina watched quietly from the doorway, not daring to interrupt.

Edwin hesitated to make a sound, not wanting to disturb the old man in front of him. This was Dr. Rowan Cross, the miracle doctor!

After a while, Rowan finally stood up. Edwin couldn’t help but ask, “Dr. Cross, how is my son?”

“Mr. Hummer, I have reattached your son’s arms,” Rowan replied, wiping the sweat from his forehead. “However, he won’t be able to lift heavy things from now on.”

“What about his internal injuries? Can his injured core recover?” Edwin pressed, anxious about his son’s future and whether he could regain his abilities.

“Restoring the core is not like fixing the arms; it’s very difficult,” Rowan explained. “But I can look into ancient methods that might help.” He didn’t make any promises.

“Please, Dr. Cross, do everything you can. Our family will reward you handsomely once it’s done!” Edwin said, filled with gratitude. As long as there was hope, they couldn’t give up.

“It’s all that damn Dustin’s fault! How could he hurt my brother so badly? I’m going to tear him apart!” Tina exclaimed angrily.

“Wait a minute,” Rowan interrupted, pausing. “Did you just say Dustin hurt your brother?”

“Yes! That animal did!” Tina confirmed, nodding vigorously.

Rowan’s expression darkened. “From what I can see, your brother cannot be treated. He’ll be a cripple for the rest of his life. Hope for the best. Farewell!” With that, he left with his medical kit.

Edwin and Tina exchanged confused looks. What just happened? Rowan had seemed so kind earlier, and now this?

Why did his mood change so quickly?

Were all miracle doctors like this?

As Rowan stepped out of the Hummer Villa, he turned back and spat on the ground, angry. “How dare you ask me to help your family after what you did to my savior? Screw you!”
