"Outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous! All of us saw with our own eyes that Quentin was alive and well before you killed him. Yet you dare say that he was just a corpse? How absolutely ridiculous!" Jacob's rage burned to a whole new level, and he wanted to rip Dustin apart."Hmmph! Do you take us for fools? What makes you think we would believe your bullshit?!""Exactly! You were the one who killed Quentin. We all witnessed it!"The crowd was furious, and their suspicions towards Dustin grew even stronger. How dare he deny killing someone and even use such a ludicrous excuse to clear his name? Did he think they were three-year-olds? "Young man, do you know what you're talking about?" Hector said with a frown. He had tried to give Dustin a chance to explain himself, but his words only grew more outrageous. "I know you guys don't believe me, but I have proof." Dustin walked to Quentin's corpse and ripped Quentin's clothes off, exposing patches of red lines to the crowd. "Do y
Jacob was stunned and he couldn't really believe his eyes. It was his first time witnessing such a strange incident. "The Dark Lord! It must be the Dark Lord's doing!" some members of the Harmon family started shouting. From time to time before this, some Harmon family members would die sudden deaths, but none of them had been as terrifying as this incident."How very brutal!" Hector frowned deeply, looking distressed. Someone had killed Quentin first, then controlled his body with witchcraft to poison the whole Harmon family. These tactics were not just cunning but vicious. Nobody other than the Dark Lord could be capable of it."I'm sure you guys believe my words now?" Dustin said at the perfect timing. "I …" Jacob was hesitant to speak. Although it was hard to accept, the facts were laid before him, and he had no choice but to believe it. "Dad! The truth is out. Won't you ask your men to fall back?" Natasha said. "Fall back." Hector gestured with his hand for the guards to
"The mastermind?" Everyone's gaze fell on the beautiful lady when they heard that. Had he said that at any other time, none of them would have believed him. In fact, they might even have brushed it off as a lie. But after everything that had happened, they had no choice but to consider his words seriously. After all, they had just witnessed a corpse moving around with such vitality. At this point, nothing seemed impossible anymore."Hey, miracle doctor, I haven't crossed you before this, have I? Why are you setting me up?" The beautiful lady frowned with a troubled expression."Dustin, you better not be accusing others without solid proof!" Hector warned him gravely. His brother had just experienced the pain of losing his son, and now, his wife was accused of being the perpetrator. This was no doubt rubbing salt in his wound."That's right! What proof have you got to claim that our sister-in-law has anything to do with this?" Jacob demanded loudly."I must have a certain level of
Before he could even wrap his head around what was going on, a sharp blade was already pressed up against his throat. The blade glistened with a dark sheen, obviously coated in poison. "Celeste, what are you doing?" Stunned by the sharp turn of events, Trent was at a loss at how to react. He had never thought that the day would come when his wife would threaten him with a blade against his neck."Stop calling me that. Your beloved Celeste died a few days ago." The woman smiled."You're not Celeste? Then who are you?" Trent's expression was one of utter horror and confusion."The Dark Lord is my master. Who do you think I am?" The sinister smile on her face remained unchanging."You're the Dark Lord's disciple?" Hector frowned. This was a grave matter. They had never expected the Dark Lord to plant a mole in the Harmon family disguised as one of them."So it is true that you're the one who poisoned Quentin! Guards! Get her!" Jacob ordered without further ado."Stand right there!"
With Hector and Jacob's arrangements, all the guests in attendance at the Harmon family gathering gradually left, and the annual event came to a jarring end.In order to prevent any other parties from taking advantage of the situation, Hector gave everyone firm instructions to keep what happened a secret and that under no circumstances was any information to be leaked.When all the guests had left, about 100 of the Harmons stayed back. As part of the Harmon family, they understood that if anything were to happen to the family, they would be similarly implicated, so they were all in it together."We really appreciate your help in finding the culprit, Dustin. Had it not been for you, the Harmon family would have suffered a tremendous loss." Hector patted Dustin on the shoulder with admiration in his eyes. It was rare to come by such a fine young man."Dad, Dustin saved our entire family. Surely you're not just thanking him verbally?" Natasha prompted."Of course not." Hector smiled.
There were several luxurious cars and a whole lot of bodyguards standing guard behind them. It was a grand sight to behold as there were easily a hundred people gathering. A man and a woman stood right at the forefront.The charismatic man had a tall physique that exuded a commanding presence, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. Every step he took gave out a strong air of danger and menace, as though he were the Grim Reaper himself making his way through a sea of bloody corpses. He stood out from the crowd and carried such an air of reverence. This was none other than the impressive Tyler Grant! And the lady beside him was Jayla Grant, whom Dustin had had a chance encounter with."Tyler, I've asked Natasha about her thoughts on this marriage alliance before. She seemed to have expressed that she did not wish to marry you," Jayla said offhandedly."That's not her choice to make. No matter what she says, I will get the woman I have my eyes on," Tyler said d
The Harmons couldn't help but shudder when Tyler's gaze swept over them. An uncontrollable fear seemed to come over them. Though he spoke calmly without any emotions, his gaze alone was enough to instill fear in them. For a moment, they felt like they were all prey to a monstrous beast."Do not be mistaken, Tyler. She doesn't mean that." As Hector said that, he shot Nataha a glare. "Stop messing around. Go back to your room right this instant!""Natasha, this marriage alliance is an arrangement between two families! This isn't child's play! You mustn't act recklessly!" Frightened, Jessica stepped forward to warn Natasha. It was one thing for her to speak impulsively in front of Jayla. But now that Tyler was here, things would get out of hand if she still insisted on saying such things."I'm not messing around, nor am I acting recklessly." Natasha stood her ground. "I know you're an exceptional person, Tyler, but matters of the heart cannot be forced. Nothing good will come of this.
"Natasha Harmon, you are shameless! Absolutely vile!" Jayla was so angry she slammed her hands on the table and jumped up from her seat. With her brother's status and prestige, he was never going to marry a woman who had slept with someone else."Are you trying to provoke me?" Tyler's brow knitted together ever so slightly. A brief second later, he regained his composure and put on a facade of indifference. "I do not mind that you've lost your virginity.""What?" Once again, everyone was shocked by what they heard, especially the Grants. It was like they did not even know Tyler anymore."You do not mind that I'm no longer a virgin? Well, what if I told you that I'm with child?" Natasha tossed him another shocker. "Truth be told, I'm pregnant. I'm carrying Dustin's child!"The moment she said that, a commotion came over the room."Oh, you wretched child! How terrible!""Oh, Natasha! You've brought disgrace upon the entire Harmon family!""How can you agree to a marriage alliance
