“They barged in?” Natasha’s expression dropped. “Quick! Get Deone to stop them!” Before the truth prevailed, she would never allow them to arrest her dad. “Stop!” Suddenly. Hector yelled at Jack, “Let them in. No one shall stand in their way!”
“Dad, what are you doing?” Natasha frowned. “The truth will speak for itself. I have nothing to fear if I didn’t commit the crime.” Hector declared loud and clear.
“But “Have you ever given it some thought? If I make a move now, I’ll never clear my name.” Hector wore a somber expression on his face. Fighting against Sir Moran’s forces could be perceived as resisting arrest, or, worse, staging a revolt. The Harmons could not afford to be accused of this grave crime.
“Hector’s right. We can’t butt heads with them. Tell all the Harmon disciples to stand aside!” Jacob yelled.
“Yes, sir.” Jack helplessly took the orders. Natasha and the rest were worried, but they were aware of the
importance of not adding fuel to the fire. Otherwise, the confrontation might spiral out of control
“Where’s Hector Harmon?” The commander, dressed in uniform, marched up to the doors of the meeting room
with a large number of armed soldiers behind him. These were troopers who were in service, and their
murderous air sent chills down one’s spine.
“I am Hector Harmon. Sir, what are you here for?” Hector calmly greeted the commander and his men.
“You sullied Sir Moran’s daughter and brutally murdered her! We are under orders to arrest you for trial!” The
commander announced icily.
“Nonsense! My dad never killed a soul. You must have gotten it wrong!” Ruth instantly protested.
“Sir, my husband has been a morally upright man. He couldn’t have committed such a huge sin. He must have been framed!” Jessica fought for her husband.
“That’s right! Our patriarch must have been framed!” The family members immediately voiced their support for Hector Harmon, who was known for his honorable character. No one else in the family could claim to be more
virtuous than Hector.
“Framed him? That’s a joke!” The commander’s face was taut. “We have solid evidence that clears all the doubts. Those who are not involved, please leave the scene now!”
“Sir, you claimed that my dad is guilty. But where’s the evidence? You need a reason to arrest him, isn’t that
right?” Natasha questioned the commander.
He bellowed, “The witness account is clear evidence of Hector Harmon murdering the young lady when he
was drunk!”
“A witness can be bought. With money, one can forge a witness statement. It’s pretty common,” Natasha
argued. She was displeased by how they wanted to charge Hector over the words of a few witnesses.

Chapter 513
“Is a witness‘ account unreliable? Alright, then! I’ll show you some physical evidence!” The commander played
a video on his phone. The angle of the footage resembled that of a surveillance camera. In the video, one could see a stocky man assaulting a young lady in her prime. First, he sullied her, followed by suffocating her
to death. His actions were inhumane and would incur wrath from anyone.
After choking the lady to death, the man turned around and showed his face. It was Hector Harmon.
“H–how is that possible?” Everyone looked horrified when they saw Hector in the lootage. They never expected that he was the real criminal after all! One could buy off witnesses, but it was hard to create physical evidence out of thin air! Still, the revelation was too shocking, and everyone struggled to process it.
“T– that’s impossible! My dad would never kill someone!” Ruth shook her head forcefully as the color drained from her face.
“How did it turn out this way?” Jessica’s eyes widened in disbelief.
