An Understated Dominance
âWhat?â Upon seeing the man, both Hector and Natasha frowned. They started to worry. âUncle Hector, you should recognize this man, right?â
Dylan walked around the attendant. âI caught this guy as he escaped with the treasures. âAfter a thorough interrogation, he confessed and admitted to his crimes. The key to the treasury is the evidence.â
âHey! What are you still standing around for?
âHurry up and tell us the truth. This is your last chance to redeem yourself!â Kate stepped. forward and kicked the attendant.
âItâs not me⦠I had nothing to do with it!â With a thud, the man fell to his knees before pointing at Natasha.
He groveled as he cried out, âIt was all Miss Natashaâs doing! She ordered me to do it.
âI was just following orders. I donât know anything.
âPlease, I beg you, spare my life!â
âWhat are you talking about? When did I ever order you to do such a thing?â Natasha looked
serious.
âMs. Natasha, we have been exposed. Thereâs no point in denying it.
âYou might even get a lighter punishment the sooner you hand over the treasures,â the attendant said mournfully.
âYou sure got the guts! How dare you falsely accuse me like that?â Natashaâs anger surged uncontrollably.
She didnât expect to be framed by her men. There was no way for her to prove her innocence.
now.
âNatasha, you can stop the act. We have a witness and evidence. Just confess to your crimes!â Dylan looked at her with eyes full of hostility.
âThis is your last chance. If you donât show remorse and continue to be stubborn, weâll have to enforce the house law!â
âHector, you are the family head. You must enforce the house law, no matter personal reasons! âTrent said sternly.
âThe familyâs interests always come first. Anyone who dares to harm the familyâs interests is
an enemy of the Harmons!â Jacob declared.
âEnforce the house law!â
âEnforce it!â
The scene turned into chaos with their chants.
At first, they were just suspicious. But now there was both a witness and evidence; they were sure that Natasha was involved in the theft and had betrayed the family.
It was necessary to enforce the house law in response to such a crime as a warning to others. âSilence!â Hector thundered.
The instant sense of authority reverberated throughout the entire hall.
Instantly, the voices stopped.
âHector, you are the family head. Will you stand against the law for personal reasons and protect a criminal within the family?â Trent asked.
âHector, it is unwise to go against public sentiment. You should think this through carefully!â Jacob warned.
âTrent, Jacob, everyoneâ¦â Hector took a deep breath before picking the knife up from the ground.
He spoke loudly, âAs the family head, I share an equal responsibility for the treasury theft.
âAs a father, I failed to teach my child. Therefore, I hold myself equally accountable.
âI understand that all of you are angered at the situation. That is why I will bear the punishment on behalf of my daughter as a response to your concerns!â
When Hector was done speaking, he suddenly raised the knife and thrust it into his abdomen. three times in quick succession..
Instantly, blood surged out. It wasnât long before his clothes were stained red.
âWhat?â Everyone was shocked at the scene.
Nobody expected Hector to stab himself without hesitation. Moreover, he didnât hold back.
Each stab had pierced deep into his flesh and bones.
âDad!â Natashaâs expression shifted as she rushed forward.
However, Hector raised a hand to stop her. Even though he was bleeding profusely from his abdomen, his body remained upright.
âUncle Hector, I truly respect your courage. But these three stabs wonât clear Natasha of her crime.â Dylan narrowed his eyes.
âI understand.â Hector nodded.
He then stated calmly, âThat is why I have decided that from this moment on, I will step down. as the family head and hand over all of my assets. I will be bearing all of the consequences!â
