Chapter 880


    “What? You’re stepping down as the family head?” Hector’s words caused the crowd to panic.


    Since he became the family head, Hector worked diligently and tirelessly to manage the


    family. He had kept everything in order.


    While no one in the entire family dared to challenge his authority, they found it hard to ept. that he


    was stepping down.


    “Dad! All of this happened because of me.


    “I should be the one being punished, if ever. There’s no need for you to bear the me!” Natasha


    started to panic.

    If Hector stepped down from his position and handed over all his assets, decades of her father’s hard


    work would be ruined.


    After that, they would be left with nothing and no chance to turn the situation around. “Shut it! It’s not


    your ce to speak!” Hector turned back and roared.


    Power, status, and money were nothing to himpared to his daughter.


    “Hector, are you sure about this?” Trent’s eyes shone with delight before he regained hisposure.


    “Hector, resigning from the role of the family head is no small matter. You should think properly.” Jacob


    stroked his chin, deep in thought.


    “Since a mistake was made, I must ept the consequences. I’ve made up my mind. There’s no need


    to persuade me,” Hector responded calmly.


    “Your sudden resignation would leave us without a leader. This puts us in a difficult situation. “Trent


    looked troubled.


    “Trent, you are both courageous and resourceful and the eldest amongst us. You are more than


    qualified to take on the role,” Hector said.


    “That doesn’t seem appropriate. I’m afraid it will take time to gain everyone’s trust.” Trent faked


    reluctance.


    “Trent, your contributions to the family are no less than Hector’s. I believe you are very suited for the


    role!” Jacob showed his support.


    “That’s right! Uncle Trent has wisdom and courage. His hard work and achievements are remarkable.


    He can be the family head,” Dn echoed.


    “Dad, it will be hard at first. But since everyone is nominating you, why don’t you ept it?” Kate said


    with a smile.


    They had struggled this long all for this moment. Thankfully, their determination and efforts didn’t go to


    waste.


    Her father had finally risen to power.


    “Alright. Since everyone is insistent, I’ll try it for a few days.


    “If a more suitable candidate shows up, I’ll step down and let them take over,” Trent humbly. said with a


    smile.


    “With Trent leading the family from now on, I believe the Harmons will reach even greater heights!”


    Jacob took the opportunity to tter Trent.


    “Congrattions, Uncle Trent! Congrattions on bing the family head of us, Harmons! “Dn


    shook his hand.


    “Congrattions, Mr. Trent!” The crowd exchanged nces and was quick to catch on.


    They congratted Trent loudly together.


    Trent burst intoughter. “Hahaha… Alright! From now on, I will do my best for the family. I will not


    disappoint you!”


    “Trent, congrattions on getting what you wished for. With the injuries I have, may I be excused?”


    Hector bowed slightly.


    “Go ahead. Take good care of yourself.” Trent smiled and nodded.


    Since he was just appointed the family head, he was in a good mood.


    “Hold on!” Kate suddenly called out as the father and daughter were about to leave.


    “Uncle Hector, even though you’ve taken the me, it was ultimately Natasha’s mistake. If we don’t


    punish her properly, there might be others who would do the same in the future.”


    “What?” Natasha’s expression turned icy.


    “We’ve already surrendered all our assets. What more do you want?”


    “By returning the goods that had been stolen, does that mean the theft never happened? Don’t you


    think that would be letting you off too easy?” Kate crossed her arms.


    “Exactly! While we spared you from the death penalty, you must be taught a lesson to prevent you from


    doing it again!” Dn stated firmly.


    “Don’t push it too far! You know very well whether I stole from the family treasury!” Natasha raised her


    eyebrows in anger.


    She had always been sharp–minded. After what happened earlier, she was sure this had been a setup.


    She was the bait, and her father was the prey. All usations and schemes were nned to have


    Trent as the family head.


    “What? The evidence is clear. Are you still going to try to argue your way out of this?” Kate sneered.


    “Uncle Trent, you’re the family head now. It’s up to you to decide how to handle this,” Dn said.
