Chapter 514
Jessica had always believed her husband, but the result at the moment had left her completely
stunned.
“Hector, look at what you have done!” Trent was exasperated.
“Y–you son of a bitch! You’re not worthy to be the patriarch!” Flying into a rage, Jacob threw a punch at
Hector’s face.
Such a scandal was going to bring extreme humiliation to the entire family.
“Dad, you…” Knitting her brows. Natasha wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in her
throat. At first, she firmly believed that her father had been framed. However, looking at the pieces of
irrefutable evidence now, she was at a loss as to how to defend him.
Even Hector was inexplicably shocked. It was indeed his face that appeared in the video. On top of
that, the way that person dressed up was also just like his.
“Did I really kill someone after getting drunk?” Hector muttered inwardly. At the thought of that, Hector
coughed up a mouthful of blood, not able to withstand the shock. His face was ashen white.
“Dad!” Natasha wanted to support him subconsciously but was stopped by him.
“Natasha, I’m sorry for dragging you all into this mess. Now that I’ve done something like this, how can
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI continue to live with myself?” As soon as he finished speaking, he snatched the gun from the
commander and pointed it at his own head. He pulled the trigger, attempting to use his death to make
up for his mistake.
“Dad!”
“Patriarch!”
Everyone at the scene was taken aback by that. They wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
As the loud gunshot pierced the air, the bullet missed its target and brushed past Hector’s forehead by
a hair’s breadth, leaving a streak of red on his skin.
It was Dustin. He had seized the gun in Hector’s hand.
“Mr. Hector, we haven’t gotten to the bottom of the situation yet. There’s no need to go to this extreme.”
Dustin
frowned.
He did not expect Hector to be so cruel to himself. Hector directly sought to end his life because of a
crime
that had not been confirmed. If Dustin hadn’t been fast enough, Hector would’ve been dead by now.
“It’s normal to be punished for making a mistake. Only by paying it with my life can I make up for my
sin.”
Hector had been upright throughout his entire life. How could he carry on with his life when something
like
this had happened?
“Mr. Hector, there’s something fishy about this matter. Don’t act recklessly. Let’s wait until we get the ins
and
outs of it,” Dustin said solemnly.
“That’s right! You’re not going to solve anything by dying. As the patriarch of the Harmon family, how
could
you seek death to escape your responsibilities?” Natasha reproached.

“I…” Hector was at a loss for words. He had only wanted to save his family’s reputation, so he didn’t
think
about it too much.
“Dad, give us some time. I believe we can bring the truth to light,” Natasha said. She felt that something
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas amiss about this matter.
Right then, the commander uttered coldly. “Alright, I have no spare time to see how affectionate your
father- daughter relationship is. Hector, you’ve committed murder, and the evidence is indisputable.
Now you need to come with us to assist in our further investigation.”
Then, the commander waved his hand. Two soldiers stepped up at once and cuffed Hector.
“Dad, it’s easier to die than live. Take care of yourself. We will definitely save you!” Natasha was
serious.
Hector nodded, not saying anything more.
“Take him away!” With that, the commander led the rest of his people and left the place.
“Sis, what should we do now?” Ruth was in a fit of panic.
“This is a serious crime. If we don’t save Dad in time, his life is probably going to be at stake,” she
thought.
“Quick! Assemble all the resources we have and look into this matter comprehensively! Don’t miss out
on any clues or details!” Natasha ordered.
Hearing that, everyone immediately began to take action. This matter had caused chaos in the Harmon
family.
