An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Chatper 1493

“What?” Barry raised an eyebrow, puzzled. He observed Ezra, who appeared to be emotionally disturbed. Inwardly,

Barry couldn’t help but wonder, “Is there something wrong with his head? Why is he spouting nonsense?”

“Dad, stop standing there and give the order quickly! Or our Swanson family will be in real trouble!” Ezra urged

impatiently.

Ezra had been haunted by Dustin’s words from the previous night. He might have avoided one disaster, but it didn’t

guarantee their safety. It could lead to deadly consequences if they continued associating with the Welch family.

He reminded himself that Dustin was not just a martial arts expert but also the mentor of the Grand Sorceress of

the Mystic Arts Order. With a single command, he could easily wipe out the Swanson family.

In the face of a powerful dark sect and a prominent family, even the four ancient houses would be no match for

them.

“Doctor, you assured me my son was fine. Why is he talking nonsense as soon as he wakes up?” Barry turned to

the doctor with a barrage of questions. The doctor remained speechless.

“Ezra, we’ve had a long-standing business relationship with the Welch family; we’re already deeply connected.

“Don’t forget, you have a marriage contract with Eleanor. It’s not that simple to break it off,” Barry shook his head.

There would be a high price to pay if they cut ties with the Welch family without a solid reason, and Barry wasn’t

willing to risk it.

“Ezra, were you threatened?” Barry furrowed his brow. His son had always been composed. Barry had never seen

him act like this before.

“Dad, due to certain reasons, I can’t reveal all the details. Just trust my decision and sever all connections with the

Welch family!

“And we shouldn’t confront Dustin. He’s not someone we can mess with!” Ezra spoke solemnly.

“Dad, when it’s a matter of life and death, we must make tough choices, even if it means heavy losses. We can’t

afford to be associated with the Welch family anymore!” Ezra’s expression was serious.

“Well…” Barry rubbed his chin, starting to contemplate. It was clear that his son had suffered some kind of setback.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so restless as the heir of a wealthy family. And all of this was connected to Dustin.

The problem was, could an ordinary guy have such capabilities? Or was he hiding something?

“Ezra …” At that moment, Eleanor walked into the ward carrying a fruit basket. “Eleanor, you’re here? Please have

a seat,” Barry greeted with a polite smile, maintaining a calm demeanor.

“Mr. Swanson,” Eleanor greeted him, then turned her gaze to the bandaged Ezra, surprised. “Ezra! What

happened? How did you get injured like this?”

“Humph! I’m like this, all thanks to you!” Ezra said unkindly.

“Me?” Eleanor was stunned, “Ezra, are you joking? What does it have to do with me?”

“All the trouble caused by the Welch family, I have to clean up after you! No matter what it is, I’m the first to deal

with it. Now, I’m injured like this! You dare say it has nothing to do with you?” Ezra said it coldly.

In the past, they prioritized the big picture and tried to please Eleanor for the family’s engagement. Now, he had

enough of that!
