Jessica had always believed her husband, but the result at the moment had
left her completely stunned.
"Hector, look at what you have done!" Trent was exasperated.
"Y–
you son of a bitch! You're not worthy to be the patriarch!" Flying into a
rage, Jacob threw a punch at Hector's face.
Such a scandal was going to
bring extreme humiliation to the entire family.
"Dad, you…" Knitting her brows. Natasha wanted to say something, but the
words were stuck in her throat. At first, she firmly believed that her fa
ther had been framed. However, looking at the pieces of irrefutable evide
nce now, she was at a loss as to how to defend him.
Even Hector was inexplicably shocked. It was indeed his face that appeare
d in the video. On top of that, the way that person dressed up was also j
ust like his.
"Did I really kill someone after getting drunk?" Hector muttered inwardly
. At the thought of
that, Hector coughed up a mouthful of blood, not able to withstand the sh
ock. His face was ashen white.
"Dad!" Natasha wanted to support him subconsciously but was stopped by hi
m.
"Natasha, I'm sorry for dragging you all into this mess. Now that I've do
ne something like this, how can I continue to live with myself?" As soon
as he finished speaking, he snatched the gun from the commander and point
ed it at his own head. He pulled the trigger, attempting to use his death
to make up for his mistake.
"Dad!"
"Patriarch!"
Everyone at the scene was taken aback by that. They wanted to stop him, b
ut it was too late.
As the loud gunshot pierced the air, the bullet missed its target and bru
shed past Hector's forehead by a hair's breadth, leaving a streak of red
on his skin.
It was Dustin. He had seized the gun in Hector's hand.
"Mr. Hector, we haven't gotten to the bottom of the situation yet. There'
s no need to go to this extreme." Dustin
frowned.
He did not expect Hector to be so cruel to himself. Hector directly sough
t to end his life because of a crime
that had not been confirmed. If Dustin hadn't been fast enough, Hector wo
uld've been dead by now.
"It's normal to be punished for making a mistake. Only by paying it with
my life can I make up for my sin."
Hector had been upright throughout his entire life. How could he carry on
with his life when something like
this had happened?
"Mr. Hector, there's something fishy about this matter. Don't act reckles
sly. Let's wait until we get the ins and
outs of it," Dustin said solemnly.
"That's right! You're not going to solve anything by dying. As the patria
rch of the Harmon family, how could
you seek death to escape your responsibilities?" Natasha reproached.
"I…" Hector was at a loss for words. He had only wanted to save his famil
y's reputation, so he didn't think
about it too much.
"Dad, give us some time. I believe we can bring the truth to light," Nata
sha said. She felt that something was amiss about this matter.
Right then, the commander uttered coldly. "Alright,
I have no spare time to see how affectionate your father-
daughter relationship is. Hector, you've committed murder, and the evide
nce is indisputable. Now you need to come with us to assist in our furthe
r investigation."
Then, the commander waved his hand. Two soldiers stepped up at
once and cuffed Hector.
"Dad, it's easier to die than live. Take care of yourself. We will defini
tely save you!" Natasha was serious.
Hector nodded, not saying anything more.
"Take him away!" With that, the commander led the rest of his people and
left the place.
"Sis, what should we do now?" Ruth was in a fit of panic.
"This is a serious crime. If we don't save Dad in time, his life is proba
bly going to be at stake," she thought.
"Quick! Assemble all the resources we
have and look into this matter comprehensively! Don't miss out on any clu
es or details!" Natasha ordered.
Hearing that, everyone immediately began to take action. This matter had
caused chaos in the Harmon family.
