“Huh?” Hector turned around and looked at Jessica, who reluctantly said, “You were in critical condition, so I became desperate and told him that as long as he’s able to treat you. I’ll let the two of them meet.”
“That’s fine. Your intentions were good.” Hector didn’t get angry but responded calmly instead. “I agree to let you two meet, but you’d better not mess around. I’ll have someone watching you. Got it?”
“Yes!” Dustin agreed immediately.
“Ruth, lead him to your sister,” Hector instructed.
“Okay!” Ruth chirped.
Natasha has been waiting for this chance for ages, and today, the two would finally get to meet.

“Oh, that reminds me. Before leaving the room, Dustin halted and turned his head around. “Mr. Harmon, mystic poison isn’t a simple issue. The person who poisoned you probably has more in store. Be careful of those around you.”
“Got it.” Hector nodded. He has always lived in seclusion, so it wasn’t easy to poison him. It was also worth noting that tomorrow was the annual family gathering. As the head of the family, things would be thrown into
chaos should others find out that he had fallen ill
Therefore, it was hard not to have suspicions when the timing at which things were happening was so
precarious.
“Jesicca, who do you think poisoned me?” Hector asked all of a sudden.
“Besides the Dark Lord, I can’t think of anyone else who is skilled at the mystic arts and holds a grudge against our family.” Jessica responded in a serious tone.
The mysterious and powerful Dark Lord has always been a thorn in their side. The Harmon family has invested in countless men to get rid of him over the years, but their efforts proved to be futile. Every year, core members.
of the Harmon family would mysteriously end up dead, and each time, clues would point to the Dark Lord as
the culprit.
It was safe to say that one man alone had made the entire Harmon family restless,
y and mentally.
“Yes He’s the only one.” Hector sighed tiredly. “Unfortunately, we can’t do much since he continues to hide
in the dark. That’s why I have no choice but to force Natasha to marry into the Grant family.”
“I understand.” Jessica sighed as well. “We can only use the Grant family’s power to deal with the Dark Lord if
Natasha marries Tyler. Or else, our entire family will be doomed.”
“I feel so sorry for Natasha. She has to sacrifice herself for our family.” Hector looked remorseful. As a father.
there was nothing he wished more than his children’s happiness. Alas, some things were beyond his control.
“Natasha is a good girl. She’ll understand why you’re doing this,” Jessica consoled him.
“I hope so.” Hector sighed again. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “What do you think of Dustin?”
“He’s a genius who’s skilled in both medicine and martial arts. He might be the best among his peers in Millsburg. Unfortunately, he still has a long way to go before competing with Tyler Grant.” Jessica gave her honest opinion. After knowing Dustin longer, she finally changed her opinions about him. However, because of
his family background, there was still a gap between them.
“I wouldn’t mind making him our son–in–law if Natasha wasn’t promised to another. Unfortunately, they were just not meant to be,” Hector muttered, troubled. “Try your best to help him from now on. We owe him that much.”
“I understand,” Jessica nodded.
The marriage between the two families had been set in stone, so it was a pity that the fated pair could never get together.
