An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1252
It was the Harmons themselves, Natashaâs own family, who kidnapped her and led to Hectorâs death. Dustin could no longer tolerate their selfish behavior.
âDustin, we were wrong. We wonât do it again. Please spare us!
âWe promise never to go against Natasha ever again!â Kate quickly begged for mercy when she noticed their dire situation.
âWhatâs the point of saying all these now?â Dustin replied coldly.
âYouâve repeatedly resorted to dirty tricks and fought for power. While it was already getting out of hand, at least you hadnât crossed certain lines.
âBut this time, your actions have shown a complete lack of humanity! Youâve lost all conscience and are worse than animals. What makes you think you deserve forgiveness?â
âRegardless, we are still Natashaâs relatives. We share the same blood. If something were to happen to us, she would surely be heartbroken.
âYou love her so much; you wouldnât want to see her in tears, would you?â Kate began playing the emotional card.
âRelatives? Same blood? How brave of you to utter those words!â Dustin scoffed. Pointing at Hectorâs lifeless body, he yelled, âOpen up your goddamn eyes! Just look at whoâs lying on that floor!
âYou killed Natashaâs father, yet you dare to spout complete bullshit like this? You are nothing but shameless!â
âI⦠.â Kate was momentarily speechless. Beside her, Trent and the rest of the group hung their heads in shame beside her. Although they never intended to kill, they shared the responsibility for Hectorâs death.
âSomeone must be held accountable for Mr. Harmonâs death. Whoever is the mastermind should know what to do.â Dustinâs tone was icy. As he spoke, he threw a knife before the Harmons with a loud clang.
âWhat?â Looking at the sharp knife, the Harmons exchanged bewildered glances. Dustin was sending a clear warning. Whoever confessed to their crimes would die.
They only had one life. Who would willingly step forward to be the scapegoat? âWhat? No one is going to confess?â Dustinâs gaze turned cold. His voice was chilling, âIf no one dares confess to their crimes, then everyone dies!â
âWhat?â The expressions of the Harmon family members shifted upon hearing Dustinâs words. He was going to punish all of them. Either one person took the blame, or the entire family faced death. Under these circumstances, someone had to bear the responsibility.
It was impossible to cover up the truth at this point. Realizing this, most eyes inadvertently turned toward Kate. Many of them were aware that Kate had started the whole fiasco. However, nobody dared call her out on it because of her status.
After all, they couldnât offend the patriarchâs daughter and Tylerâs fiance. However, the situation was different now. Their lives were at stake. If they didnât reveal the truth, all of them would suffer.
âW-What are all of you looking at me for? It wasnât me!â Kate exclaimed anxiously. Her eyes emitted a threat in response to the strange glances she felt piercing her. âKate, we all know what you have done. Just own up to your actions!â
âThatâs right! You canât make us all suffer for your deeds!â
âKate Harmon, you must face the consequences for your mistakes. Stop trying to evade responsibility and confess to your crimes. Thatâs your best chance at a favorable outcome!â
Driven by the imminent threat of death, they were no longer concerned about their familial ties. At that moment, Kate became the target of criticism among the Harmons.
