An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1215
âEver since a new leader took over the Harmon family, the family bowed to the Grant family. They even took over the Harmon familyâs properties.
I think Tyler Grant will show his true colors soon after the engagement.â Natashaâs expression became serious.
The dispute within the Harmon family brought about bad blood among the brothers. Families were now enemies. It was a serious crisis in the family.
Fortunately, she foresaw this. She had transferred the properties under her name to Oakvale. By doing so, she had protected some of the familyâs foundation.
âNatasha, speaking of the Harmon family, what does your father think of all this?â Dustin asked. With Hectorâs network and reputation, he had a high chance of winning if hedecided to fight back.
âMy father is still trying his best to salvage the situation. Heâs trying to talk some sense into my uncles. However, I donât think itâs working.â Natasha shook her head. Her father was a good man. Too good to a fault, in fact.
He was a sentimental person and kept making compromises. All because he didnât want to antagonize his brothers. As the feud continued, the family was slowly falling apart.
âLooks like your father still has his concerns. However, he must be decisive and ruthless to resolve the issue,â Dustin advised.
It was a good thing that he respected the relationship with his brothers. However, the situation would only worsen if he kept giving in.
âI hope that my father comes to this realization soon,â Natasha said with a complicated expression. She could turn the tide in her fatherâs favor. The only problem was that her father didnât want to fight.
âOh, andâ¦â Natasha suddenly remembered something and took out an exquisite sachet from her bag. She gave it to Dustin. âItâs your birthday tomorrow, and this is a gift from my father.â
âPlease give him my thanks.â Dustin flashed her a smile.
âOpen it and take a look.â Natasha gave him a look. âNow?â After gaining her approval, Dustin untied the sachet slowly. From inside, he took out a carefully preserved piece of parchment. He unfurled the parchment and saw a mysterious but incomplete drawing on it.
âNatasha, whatâs this?â Dustin was a little astounded. âThis is the Harmon family heirloom, the treasure map. This is also what Tyler Grant is after. Now, my father has gifted it to you.â Natasha smiled.
âWhat? The family treasure map?â Dustin was stunned and immediately waved his hands.
âNo way, this is too much! I canât accept this!â
The Harmon family treasure was a gold mine, and it could potentially alter the course of events. The value of this treasure map was unimaginable.
âItâs just an incomplete piece of the original treasure map. My father sees no point in keeping it.
âHe thought itâd be better to give it to you. You might have a better chance at finding the other missing pieces.â Natasha smiled.
âNatasha, this is your family heirloom. How could I possibly accept it?â Dustin shook his head again.
âMy father has thought long and hard about it before giving it to you.â
Natasha explained, âWith his current ability, he wouldnât be able to keep this map safe for long. Tyler might steal it from him.
âInstead of losing the treasured map to an overly ambitious person, he wanted to give it to someone who is reliable to safeguard this map.â
âWellâ¦â Dustin hesitated. Hector saw the treasure map as something more important than his life. Giving him the map meant that Hector had full confidence in him. Simultaneously, Dustin felt a heavy burden on him.
âThatâs enough. Please donât refuse the gift. This is a sincere gift from my father. Just accept it. It might be useful to you in the future.â Natasha smiled as she shoved the map into Dustinâs hands.
âAlright then. Iâll keep it safe on behalf of your father. Iâll return it to him when the Harmon family is at peace again.â Dustin finally nodded.
Hector gave him the treasure map because he trusted him. He also hoped that the treasure map would be used for the benefit of others.
It was night. Tyler was playing chess alone in his study in the Grantsâ mansion.
