An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1294
Cody explained, “Mr. Swanson, I didn’t mean to disrespect the Swanson family. “But these ruffians caused a scene at Harmony Healers; I had to step in.”
Despite being just a butler for the Swanson family, Zion had the support of Ezra Swanson, the family’s scion. Cody wouldn’t dare to go against Ezra unless it was necessary.
“Causing a scene? But I heard that Harmony Healers are mistreating patients,” Zion remarked casually. your
“Ziggy told me that your quack doctor failed to treat his condition and made it worse. He came here seeking justice, and I find that reasonable.”
“That’s right…” Ziggy nodded, expressing his grievances. “Mr. Swanson, Harmony Healers are so unreasonable. Their treatment worsened my injuries, and I was close to death.
“Not only did they refuse to admit it, but they also accused me of causing trouble. Please, be fair and help me!”
“Nonsense! He’s just lying!” Harper couldn’t contain her anger. She had never met such a shameless. person before. Ziggy told blatant lies and was trying to extort money. Now, he even portrayed himself as the victim.
“Lying? Look at my wound!” Ziggy raised his shirt once again, revealing the festering wound.
“Mr. Ostrower, did you see this? Harmony Healers’ doctor caused this condition. “Are you still going to defend them?” Zion’s tone grew more confrontational.
“It’s just a minor injury. We can offer compensation. How much do you want? “Cody asked. He would pay if it meant resolving the issue.
“Compensation is a must, but I don’t want money.”
Ziggy shook his head and pointed at Harmony Healers’ sign. “I don’t want money. I want your shop. Then we can consider this matter settled.”
Cody retorted, “This injury is minor, and you want Harmony Healers? That’s absurd!” Ziggy replied, “Mr. Ostrower, this ‘ minor’ injury nearly cost me my life. I’d trade Harmony Healers for my life, wouldn’t you?”
“Hmph! What’s your life worth? It’s not even worth the restroom at Harmony Healers!” Cody replied firmly.
Zion interjected abruptly, “Ziggy is part of the Swanson family. Calling his life worthless is like saying the Swanson family’s life is worthless.
Would you take responsibility for your words?”
“You-” Cody felt frustrated. Dealing with Ziggy was one thing, but Zion’s words made matters complicated.
“Mr. Ostrower, don’t blame us for being unreasonable. If you won’t compensate, that’s fine. “Just heal Ziggy’s injury, and we can move on,” Zion stated, crossing his arms.
“That’s right! If you won’t compensate, heal my injury right now. Let’s see if you can,” Ziggy challenged, pointing menacingly at his wound.
“Hmph! Even if we prescribe medicine, you’ll replace it when you go home. How can it heal then?” Harper felt indignant.
They had seen this tactic before. Even Harmony Healers’ best medication couldn’t treat a patient’s ill intentions.
“Ms. Busch, mind your words. I’ve always been living an upright, honest life. “Why would I do something that’s harmful to me?” Ziggy replied, smirking.
“Mr. Ostrower, I’ve given you an opportunity. Whether you can heal Ziggy’s injury depends on Harmony Healers’ doctor’s abilities,” Zion said, looking as if he had everything under control.
Cody clenched his teeth, his lips frowned with displeasure. Brooke and the others also had furrowed brows, feeling helpless. They truly felt powerless under the persuasion and intimidation of the Swanson family.
“Why the fuss over a minor skin injury? Just heal it on the spot, and it’s done, right?” Dustin, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke up.
