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 place to speak!” Hector turned back and roared.
Power, status, and money were nothing to him compared to his daughter.
“Hector, are you sure about this?” Trent’s eyes shone with delight before he regained his composure.
“Hector, resigning from the role of the family head is no small matter. You should think properly.” Jacob

“Since a mistake was made, I must accept 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.

with a smile.

waste.
Her father had finally risen to power.

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

“Hold on!” Kate suddenly called out as the father and daughter were about to leave.
“Uncle Hector, even though you’ve taken the blame, 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

“Exactly! While we spared you from the death penalty, you must be taught a lesson to prevent you from
doing it again!” Dylan 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.
