Chapter 881 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âConsidering that this is Natashaâs first offense, and she has shown timely remorse, we can spare her from physical punishment.â
However, Trent suddenly added, âBut the family has suffered significant losses, and you must make amends. âHereâs the deal: if you hand over the formula to Immortunol, Iâll forget today ever happened.
âThe formula to Immortunol?â Natasha furrowed her brows and refused immediately, âNever!â
She hadnât committed any crime. They had only given in to alleviate the situation. She couldnât believe they were pushing their luck and targeting the formula to Immortunol. Their greed knew no limits!
They knew that the formula was an invaluable treasure. Even if Natasha gave up all her assets, she could still make a fresh start as long as she possessed the formula.
âNatasha Harmon! Uncle Trent is giving you a chance. Donât be ungrateful!â Dylan shouted.
âHmph! Youâll face our house law if you donât hand over the formula. Letâs see how you fare then!â Kate looked at her maliciously.
Immortunol had become a soughtâafter product in the highâend medical aesthetics market. It was known as a medicine that was hard to obtain.
Besides, its annual profit per year was at least several hundred billion. Who wouldnât want it?
âI wonât give it up even if you kill me, not to mention enforcing the house law!â Natasha was fearless.
âVery well! You brought this upon yourself!â
Kateâs gaze turned icy. âTake her away! Give her 80 strokes of the cane!â
âYes, maâam!â
Several guards stepped forward immediately, ready to grab Natasha.
Since Hectorâs power and authority were diminishing, Natahsa naturally lost her influence too.
âWho dares!â
Just as the guards were about to take action, a shadow barged in, kicking several guards aside. The newcomer was none other than Dustin. Following closely behind was a breathless Ruth.
âWhy are you here?â Natasha lit up when she saw Dustin.
Her anxiety finally eased. It was like she had found a source of support.
âRuth said you were in trouble, so I came to check on you.
âHow are you? Are you hurt?â Dustin was concerned.
âIâm fine, but my dad got three stabs,â Natasha replied truthfully.
âMr. Harmon?â
Dustin turned to Hector. When he noticed him bleeding from his abdomen, he frowned.
âWho did this?â he bellowed.
âNo one. I did it to myself.â Hector shook his head.
âWhat?â Dustin was taken aback.
What went on that led to him stabbing himself?
âThis is what happenedâ¦â Natasha didnât hide anything and briefly recounted the events.
After hearing her explanation, Dustinâs gaze hardened.
They accused his woman, forced Hector to step down, and were about to enforce the house law. These people deserved a beating.
âRhys! What happened today has nothing to do with you. Iâm warning you not to get involved, or youâll face the consequences!â Kate shouted.
âAnything that happens to Natasha has everything to do with me! If you dare touch her, you should be ready to suffer!â
Dustin stood firmly in front of Natasha, his tone authoritative.
âYou son of bitch! Show some respect! Take a look around and see whoâs in charge now!â Kate threatened.
She had held back when Hector was still in charge. But now that her father had become the family head, her authority had also risen.
âI couldnât care less about the Harmons. Just know that Natasha is my woman.
âIâm taking her away safely today. Stop me if your dare!â
As Dustin stepped forward, an overwhelming aura came from him. He emitted an aura of dominance.
