An Understated Dominance By Marina Vittori Chapter 1335-What Mr. Yaxley had brought was a box of gold bars. They sparkled brightly under the sunlight, creating a visual impact more stunning than money ever could.

“Dustin, here’s a token of appreciation from the Welch family. Take it as your payment for saving Eleanor,” Joanne said calmly as she glanced at the gold bars.

“What is the meaning of this, Mom?” Eleanor pouted in displeasure. “The Welch family never owes favors. Since Dustin saved you, it only makes sense that I reward him handsomely,” Joanne said matter-of-factly.

“Mrs. Welch, I did not save Eleanor for money.” Dustin shook his head.

“What? Is this too little for you?” Without saying anything else, Joanne gestured to Mr. Yaxley, “Joaquin, bring out another box.” “Yes, Ma’am.” Mr. Yaxley promptly turned to leave.

“Mom!” Eleanor couldn’t keep it in any longer. “Not everything is about money! What the miracle doctor needs is the Dragon Panax! He needs it to save lives, not some useless gold bars!” “The Dragon Panax?” Joanne repeated impassively. “You do realize it’s your grandfather’s precious collection, right? Don’t you know that it’s a priceless treasure?” “What priceless treasure? Isn’t it just a herb?” Eleanor challenged indignantly, Besides, he saved my life! Is my life not worth as much as the lousy Dragon Panax to you?” “Of course your life is worth more than that. But his contribution doesn’t justify getting the Dragon Panax.” Joanne continued breezily, “Doctors only save lives for money. So it’s only fair that we pay him for saving your life. But that’s all that we’re going to give.

“We can’t give him our valuable possession just because he saved you. Business is business. We can’t bring emotions into it. Do you understand?” “Mom! How … How could you be so heartless?” Eleanor felt angry.She could not believe that her mother treated her life as business!
