Jacob stood up and enunciated each word slowly. “I will go to the Grants with Kate to talk about the
marriage arrangement in detail.”
“Thank you for backing me up, Uncle Jacob!” Kate was overjoyed.
“I’ll leave the task to you then, Jacob.” Hector nodded at him.
“Wait for our good news, everyone!” Jacob looked around the room and nodded at his brothers before
leaving with Kate in tow. Hector seemed deep in thought as he watched them leave.
Over in Natasha’s room, she laid on her bed with her eyes closed as Dustin sat beside her,
meticulously applying an ointment to her wound. The wound on Natasha’s face wasn’t severe, and
after applying some of Dustin’s special ointment, it was clearly much better than it had been
before.
“Sis! I have good news!” Ruth barged into the room excitedly.
“Oh? What’s the good news?” Natasha asked with her eyes still closed, enjoying the attentive
treatment Dustin was giving her.

meeting earlier on, and Kate stood up and volunteered herself! She said that she would take your place
and marry Tyler. Everyone agreed!” Ruth announced with joy.
“Kate offered to marry Tyler?” Natasha sat up in surprise when she heard what Ruth said. “Are you
sure that you heard right, Ruth?”
“Of course! I heard it loud and clear!” Ruth nodded with certainty. “Uncle Jacob and Kate have
already left for the Grants to discuss the matter. As long as Tyler agrees to it, we’ll have nothing left to
worry about!”
“That’s great! Kate has always been after wealth and status, anyway. She’d be the best candidate to
marry Tyler!” Natasha was glad.
“That’s right! You won’t need to suffer; Kate will get what she wants; and both families will be at
peace with each other. We’ll be getting the best of both worlds!” Ruth smiled brightly.
“Ladies, it’s too early to be happy just yet. I’m afraid things might not be so easy.” Dustin put a damper
on the situation.
“What do you mean? Isn’t it a good thing that my sister will not have to marry Tyler?” Ruth asked
curiously.
“Of course it is, but the question is, would Tyler agree to it?” Dustin proceeded to explain his view on
the situation. “I’ve only met Tyler once, but I can tell straight off the bat that he’s an arrogant and
conceited person. And people like him rarely accept changes once they’ve made up their
mind.”
The Harmon sisters frowned when they heard that.
“So what you’re saying is that Tyler will not agree to the swap?” Natasha probed.

“He will most likely refuse the notion.” Dustin put his ointment away and handed Natasha a glass of
water before stating nonchalantly, “Things would have worked out fine if he had been the one who
came up with the idea of swapping, but he would never accept it if others were the ones to suggest it
and mess with his marriage.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No way, he can’t be so stubborn, can he?” Ruth could not seem to believe it.
“This isn’t about being stubborn. It’s the sense of superiority that he was born with. Simply put, he’s the
only person who’s allowed to be in charge, and no one else is allowed to challenge that,” Dustin
expounded.
“You say it like it’s already set in stone. Well, what if Kate succeeds?” Ruth challenged.
“Of course, it’s best if she succeeds, but all I’m saying is that you shouldn’t bear high hopes.” Dustin
wasn’t entirely sure either.
“Ruth, go wait in the meeting room. Inform me as soon as you get any news,” Natasha instructed.
“Alright.” Ruth nodded and left.
Around dusk, Jacob and Kate finally returned to the Harmon estate. They didn’t look too pleased.
“How’d it go, Jacob? Did Tyler agree to it?” Trent immediately stood up and asked Jacob the
moment he saw the two of them coming in through the doors.
“Like hell, he agreed!” Jacob was riled up. “Tyler Grant is as stubborn as a mule! No matter what I said
or what offers I made him, he simply refused to agree! He insists on marrying Natasha, and that’s the
end of the discussion. He even threatened us, saying that if Natasha did not appear as his bride on the
day of the wedding, he’d bring his troops in and annihilate all of us Harmons!” A commotion broke out
in a split second.
