“They barged in?” Natasha’s expression dropped. “Quick! Get


    Deone to stop them!”


    Before the truth prevailed, she would never allow them to arrest her dad.


    “Stop!” Suddenly. Hector yelled at Jack, “Let them in. No one shall stand in their way!”


    “Dad, what are you doing?” Natasha frowned.


    “The truth will speak for itself. I have nothing to fear if I didn’tmit the crime.” Hector dered loud


    and


    clear.


    “But


    “Have you ever given it some thought? If I make a move now, I’ll never clear my name.” Hector wore a


    somber


    expression on his face. Fighting against Sir Moran’s forces could be perceived as resisting arrest, or,


    worse,


    staging a revolt. The Harmons could not afford to be used of this grave crime.


    “Hector’s right. We can’t butt heads with them. Tell all the Harmon disciples to stand aside!” Jacob


    yelled.


    “Yes, sir.” Jack helplessly took the orders. Natasha and the rest were worried, but they were aware of


    the

    importance of not adding fuel to the fire. Otherwise, the confrontation might spiral out of control


    “Where’s Hector Harmon?” Themander, dressed in uniform, marched up to the doors of the


    meeting room


    with arge number of armed soldiers behind him. These were troopers who were in service, and their


    murderous air sent chills down one’s spine.


    “I am Hector Harmon. Sir, what are you here for?” Hector calmly greeted themander and his men.


    “You sullied Sir Moran’s daughter and brutally murdered her! We are under orders to arrest you for


    trial!” The


    “Nonsense! My dad never killed a soul. You must have gotten it wrong!” Ruth instantly protested.


    “Sir, my husband has been a morally upright man. He couldn’t havemitted such a huge sin. He


    must have been framed!” Jessica fought for her husband.


    “That’s right! Our patriarch must have been framed!” The family members immediately voiced their


    support for Hector Harmon, who was known for his honorable character. No one else in the family


    could im to be more


    virtuous than Hector.


    “Framed him? That’s a joke!” Themander’s face was taut. “We have solid evidence that clears all


    the doubts. Those who are not involved, please leave the scene now!”


    “Sir, you imed that my dad is guilty. But where’s the evidence? You need a reason to arrest him, isn’t


    that


    right?” Natasha questioned themander.


    He bellowed, “The witness ount is clear evidence of Hector Harmon murdering the youngdy when


    he


    was drunk!”


    “A witness can be bought. With money, one can forge a witness statement. It’s prettymon,”


    Natasha


    argued. She was displeased by how they wanted to charge Hector over the words of a few witnesses.


    “Is a witness‘ ount unreliable? Alright, then! I’ll show you some physical evidence!” Themander


    yed


    a video on his phone. The angle of the footage resembled that of a surveince camera. In the video,


    one could see a stocky man assaulting a youngdy in her prime. First, he sullied her, followed by


    suffocating her


    to death. His actions were inhumane and would incur wrath from anyone.


    After choking thedy to death, the man turned around and showed his face. It was Hector Harmon.


    “H–how is that possible?” Everyone looked horrified when they saw Hector in the lootage. They never


    expected that he was the real criminal after all! One could buy off witnesses, but it was hard to create


    physical evidence out of thin air! Still, the revtion was too shocking, and everyone struggled to


    process it.


    “T–that’s impossible! My dad would never kill someone!” Ruth shook her head forcefully as the color


    drained


    from her face.


    “How did it turn out this way?” Jessica’s eyes widened in disbelief.
