Chapter 548

Dr. Alden did not hesitate to invite Dustin to join them. His medical skills were truly miraculous, to say

the least. It was amazing how he could bring someone from the brink of death back to consciousness

with just several needles. Had it not been for his ego, Dr. Alden would have asked Dustin to be his

mentor.

“I have no such plans yet. We’ll see when the opportunity arises.” Dustin rejected him nicely.

Then, without anyone asking, he quickly scribbled down a prescription and handed it to Ruby.”

Remember to make sure that your mother takes her medications on time. She’ll have to take them for

about a month, and she’ll be alright.”

“Thank you, Dustin!” Ruby beamed brightly at him

“I have other plans, so I’ll take my leave now.” Dustin did not stay there much longer and left the

hospital soon after. As he left the hospital, Dustin was suddenly reminded that he had yet to change

Natasha’s wound dressing today, so he hailed a cab and headed straight for the Harmon

estate.

In the Harmons‘ discussion room, Hector was leading a group of the Harmon family’s key members in a

meeting. They had divided opinions over the marriage arrangement.

“Are you really going to break off the marriage alliance, Hector? Have you ever considered what

this would mean to the family?” Trent asked with pinched brows.

“I’ve given things serious consideration, Trent. There shall be no marriage alliance!” Hector meant

what he said. The main agenda of the meeting today was to discuss the breaking off of the

marriage alliance. The Grants had gone too far. He could not sit back and act like nothing had

happened.

“The Grants are already livid over Jayla’s death. If we tell them that we’re breaking off the

marriage alliance, they’ll use that as an excuse to give us trouble, and when that happens, there’s

bound to be massive strife between the two families!” Trent warned.

“The strife has already begun. From the moment the Grants framed me and messed with my

daughter, there was already no alliance. What we need to do now is strengthen our defenses and be

prepared,” Hector said coldly.

“Must things really come to this? We’ll be in a terrible predicament if we really burn bridges with

the Grants.” Trent’s expression was tense.

“I wish that the family can develop in peace too, Trent. But with the difficulties we are facing, both

internally and externally, people out there will only see it as an opportunity to take advantage of us if we

do not act firmly. We cannot compromise anymore!” Hector said with a

resolute tone.

If the Harmons backed off once, they’d have to do it again in the future, and the Grants would only

behave even more ruthlessly at that time.

Hector thought that it’d be better for the Harmons to face the Grants head–on while they still had

the means to do so. And even if they lost, they’d lose with their heads held high.

“Why are you silent, Jacob? Talk some sense into Hector!” Trent signaled at Jacob frantically to

persuade Hector.

“What’s the point? Hector is the head of the family. He has the final say in every matter.” Jacob seemed

to have given up on contributing any thoughts.

“Jacob, this is a family meeting. Everyone is free to voice their thoughts. I will consider your

suggestions if you come up with any good ideas.” Hector encouraged.

“Alright, then I’ll tell you what I think.” Jacob cleared his throat before he continued. “Hector, I know that

Natasha is reluctant to marry Tyler, but the consequences of breaking off the marriage alliance are

severe. I think that we should just change our strategy slightly.”

“Oh? Change our strategy? How so?” Hector asked with a lift of his brows.

“It’s simple. There are many eligible young ladies in the Harmon family who are of marriageable age.

Since your daughter is unwilling to marry Tyler, then we’ll send someone else to marry him. As long as

we have a marriage alliance, it doesn’t matter who marries him,” Jacob said plainly.

“Send someone else?” The rest of the family began whispering among themselves when they heard

Jacob’s suggestion. It seemed like a decent enough proposal. Natasha might not agree to marry Tyler,

but there were other people who would readily agree to the marriage. Tyler was an excellent candidate

that many women would die to be married to.

“But Jacob, there has been so much conflict between the two families. No matter who we send to marry

Tyler, we’d be sending her into an extremely risky situation.” Hector was torn as to whether or not he

should take Jacob’s suggestion.

“Someone has got to take one for the family. Since your daughter is unwilling to be the one to do so,

we’ll just have to get someone else,” Jacob said.

“You’re right, but who else would be good enough for Tyler?” Trent pondered for a suitable candidate.

They could not just send any other girl to marry Tyler. He was General Lionheart, a truly brilliant man.

Natasha was the only one in the entire Harmon family who was barely good enough for him.

“Me!” Just then, Kate stood up and declared confidently. “Be it looks or ability, I’m not far off from

Natasha. I’m the most suitable candidate to marry Tyler!”
