Kate was impatient as she quickly ordered them to open up the burlap sacks. Very soon, the unconscious Natasha and Ruth were freed from the sacks.
“Great, we’ve got both of them. There shouldn’t be any problem now.” Kate was pleased about the current turn of events. Hector would definitely surrender the information with his two weaknesses in their hands now.
“What? It’s her!” Vlad was stunned when he saw Natasha. “Why? Do you know her?” Kate frowned. If they knew each other, there’d be trouble.
“I saw her once.” Vlad replied solemnly and continued, “I was injured by an ignorant man when I got into a fight at the hotel yesterday. She’s with that man.
After he was defeated, he sent his henchmen to investigate Dustin. However, he couldn’t find Dustin’s whereabouts. What a coincidence; they actually kidnapped his woman.
Things were really going in their favor now. “Vlad, the person who defeated you yesterday, was his name Dustin Rhys?” Kate quickly asked.
“I think that’s his name.” Vlad nodded.
“That’s right!” Kate continued with a cold expression. “This bitch couple is in cahoots and has been bossing others around, and they have done many despicable things!”
“Ha! What a small world. Other than hitting me, they upset you as well. Now that they are our common enemy. It’s my chance to exact revenge on them!”
Vlad snickered.
He looked Natasha up and down with a greedy gaze. It’d be a waste to not have fun with such a beautiful woman.
“Vlad, the treasure map is our top priority. You can do whatever you want to these two women after we know where it is.” Kate instantly picked up on his motive.
“Ha, thanks, Kate!” Vlad sneered and licked his lips excitedly. He could have two women at the same time! How lucky. They doused the unconscious Hector with a pail of cold water. He shivered and slowly came to his senses.
“Uncle Hector, we meet again,” Kate said calmly. She didn’t even bother to hide herself as time was running out.
“It’s… it’s you!” Hector opened his eyes with great difficulty and was very stunned to see the familiar face. “W- why?”
“Uncle Hector, I won’t beat around the bush. Give us the map, and I’ll let all of you go,” Kate said frankly.
“Kate, we’re family. Do you really have to be this cruel?” Hector spoke with a raspy voice. He had no idea that it was his niece who kidnapped him.
“Cruel?” Kate snorted coldly, “Uncle Hector, you gave me no choice. You’re no longer the patriarch of the Harmon family. Why do you insist on keeping the treasure map? It rightfully belongs to my father!”
“Kate, do you know that if Tyler Grant gets his hands on the treasure map, it’ll be the end for the Harmon family?” Hector asked in a concerned tone.
“Nonsense!” Kate glared. “Uncle Hector, are you demented? The Harmon family is no longer powerful. Working together with the Grant family is the only way for us to regain our glory!”
“Do you not understand? Tyler Grant is just using you. Once he gets the treasure map, you’ll be useless to him. By then, your life will be at risk!” Hector spoke with great difficulty.
“Shut up!” Kate slapped Hector and shouted, “I’m warning you, don’t try to drive a wedge between Tyler and me. We’re engaged. After today, I’ll be Mrs. Tyler Grant, the most powerful woman in Millsburg!”
“Don’t be delusional. You are just a pawn to him.” Hector let out a long sigh.
“Stop the nonsense! Give me the treasure map now. If not, I’ll kill both your daughters!” Kate was enraged as she picked up the knife on the table and held it next to Natasha’s neck.
The sharp blade sliced through her skin, leaving a glaring and bloody trail on her neck.
