Chapter 532

“Of course not, Father. You will always be the head of the family.” Trent smiled sheepishly.

“Fine. Since you said that, I’ll give you my opinion.” Andrew surveyed the room. “Dustin has saved my

life, as well as helped our family multiple times. We are in his debt, so anyone who tries to take him

today will be going against me!”

“What?”

The group shared dismayed glances. They never expected Andrew to stand up for Dustin during this

crucial time.

“Father, this bastard killed one of the Grants’ daughters! He will only drag us deeper into this mess!”

Trent rebutted.

“Trent is right! We’re doing this for the greater good of the family!” Jacob seconded.

“You bunch say such lofty things when you’re just cowards!” Andrew struck the floor with his cane

forcefully. “The Grants have been stepping all over us, and instead of standing up against them, you

choose to grovel and please them? What an embarrassment to our family!”

“Fath-”

“Silence!” Andrew cut off Trent’s words. “Our family has gone through all sorts of trials since its

existence. How could we embarrass our ancestors by losing our dignity because of something like

this?”

The Harmons lowered their heads in shame, unable to deny that the Grants had shaken them greatly.

“Listen carefully!” Andrew announced. “Our priority should be to save Hector, and not be sitting ducks!”

He made Hector his successor because of how righteous and brave his son was, but now that Hector

was captured, the entire family was thrown into chaos.

“Grandfather, we need to borrow the Grants’ power if we want to save Uncle Hector. Our best option is

to hand Dustin over to them in exchange for Uncle Trent.” Kate coaxed.

“Nonsense!” Andrew glared at his granddaughter. “The Grants were the ones who framed and

imprisoned your uncle, yet you think they’ll help us? What a joke!”

“What? Mr. Hector was imprisoned by the Grants?”

The crowd was dismayed to hear this. After all, framing the head of another family was not a small

matter.

“Father, please refrain from making claims without evidence! There are ears everywhere.” Trent

reminded seriously.

“Evidence, you say? Sure!” Andrew turned around and called out. “Isfrid? Bring him in.”

Immediately, the leader of the shadow guards dragged a man into the room. The man wore a hood that

made it difficult to identify his face and was tightly bound from head to toe.

“See this man? He’s the real murderer!” Andrew yanked off the man’s hood, exposing a familiar face.

It was Hector’s face!

“Mr. Hector?”

Everyone was puzzled by the sight. Hadn’t Hector been captured? What was he doing here?

“Yeah, right. He’s merely wearing a prosthetic mask!”

Andrew sank his fingers into the man’s face and pulled, revealing skin with a sickly pallor.

“I-it’s fake?” The crowd exclaimed, stunned. They never imagined that something like this existed in

real life, and it was shockingly realistic too! It was so well made that it nearly fooled

everyone.

“Do all of you understand now? Hector was framed, and the ones behind this are the Grants! Are you

still going to suck up to those treacherous bastards?” Andrew seethed, rendering everyone else silent.
