The Harmon family had ced their hope in the Grant family’s help before knowing the truth, but now,


    they finally understood that running away in fear was useless. If the Grants were willing to go as far as


    to frame the leader of the Harmon family, there was no way they would care about Hector’s survival.


    “What? Cat got your tongue? Remember to use your head next time!” Andrew reprimanded them


    before turning to look at Dustin. “Dustin, I’m so sorry you had to suffer because I didn’t educate them


    properly.”


    “Not at all, Sir Andrew. Thank you for defending me in time.” Dustin smiled in gratitude.


    Although the Harmon family had a few ungrateful individuals, there were still people who were


    reasonable and just.


    “I feel so ashamed… I don’t know what would have happened to our family if you hadn’t helped us


    catch the real murderer.” Andrew sighed.


    Their family prided itself on being a powerful family with countless elites. Yet, when something


    happened to their leader, it was a young outsider who saved the day.


    “Father, it was our shadow guards who caught the killer. What does it have to do with that brat?” Jacob


    mumbled in displeasure.


    “You fool!” Andrew snapped. “If Dustin hadn’t used himself as bait to expose the killer’s whereabouts,


    do you think that the shadow guards could have captured that man?”


    “What? Dustin caught the culprit?” The crowd was astonished to hear that.


    “Dustin helped us so much, yet all of you wanted to harm him instead! What a bunch of ungrateful


    bastards!” Andrew’s blood boiled. “All of you here shall kneel before our ancestral altar and repent your


    actions!”


    Hearing this, the group of people scuttled away dejectedly, letting the room quiet down once


    more.


    “Thank you foring, Grandfather, or things would have escted.” Natasha let out a breath of relief.


    She had been worried about being caught between a rock and a hard ce if the two parties began


    fighting.


    “An old man like me might not be much use anymore, but I can still take care of those brats easily.”


    Andrew shed aforting grin. He had just disyed what it meant to be the head of a patriarchal


    family.


    “Grandfather, how should we deal with this man?” Natasha turned her attention to the


    murderer.


    “Since we’ve caught the real killer, we must restore your father’s innocence,” Andrew stated


    earnestly. “I’ll take a few men with me to visit Sir Moran and exin things to him immediately.”


    “Thank you so much, Grandfather.” Natasha nodded.


    “Silly girl. There’s no need to thank me. I’ll be off now.” Andrew smiled before leaving with

    his men.


    “Get some rest, Natasha. I’ll visit you again tomorrow.” Dustin also bid her farewell.


    “Can’t you stay with me?” Natasha pleaded, reluctant to be alone.


    “I can’t. I’m currently the Grants’ wanted criminal. However, I’ll being over to reapply your wound


    dressing tomorrow.” Dustin consoled her.


    “Alright, then. Be careful.” Natasha didn’t press.


    “Goodnight.” Dustin smiled and left the room. He was secretly followed by two people, hidden in the


    darkness.


    The night quickly flew by. Early in the next morning, a military vehicle slowly rolled up to the entrance of


    the Harmon estate.


    When the car door opened, a haggard-looking Hector emerged.


    “Mr. Hector? He’s back!” The guards at the entrance lit up upon seeing Hector and dashed in to spread


    the word.


    Soon, Natasha and the others came rushing out to greet the man.


    “Dad, you’re back! How are you feeling? Are you hurt anywhere?” Natasha fussed over Hector,


    surprised to see him.


    “I’m fine. Sir Moran let me out as soon as they realized that I had been framed,” Hector answered,


    smiling.
