Chapter 515

The fact that Hector was arrested caused quite a stir among the members o

f the Harmon family.

Everyone was rushed off their feet, using whatever connections they had t

o prove Hector innocent. Hector was the

patriarch of the Harmons; he represented the

family. If he was really charged with murder, not only would he be ruined

, but the whole Harmon family would also be terribly criticized by the pu

blic.

After giving out the order, Natasha called some of the trustworthy people

to her room to

discuss the countermeasures. Not everyone in the family stood on the same

side. Trent and Jacob

harbored their own thoughts. She naturally didn't trust them.

"What do you

think about this matter?" Natasha asked, glancing around.

"Could it be that Dad got sloshed for real, so he…" Ruth trailed off.

Before Ruth saw the video, she was sure that her father was not the kind

of person who would commit such a crime. However, now

that the evidence was right before her eyes, she couldn't help but doubt

his innocence.

"Your dad is well aware of his alcohol tolerance level. But why did he dr

ink so much this time that he couldn't even remember what he did after

that?" Jessica's expression didn't look good.

"Ms. Natasha, saving Mr. Harmon is what's most important right now," Jack

said worriedly.

It was going to be hard for Hector to

clear his name anytime soon. Hence, keeping him safe and sound for now wa

s their top priority.

"Dustin, what do you think?" Natasha looked at him.

"I don't think it's a coincidence that this matter happens at this time.

Your dad is probably being set up by others," Dustin replied.

Ruth

furrowed her brows. "That's what we hope too, but all the evidence is dir

ected at Dad. No one

will believe us."

"Sometimes, what we see might not be the truth, so we mustn't just look o

n the surface," Dustin said, shaking his head.

"You've gotten a clue?" Natasha asked.

"Those who have been around will know that there's a special skill in thi

s world, which is called Face–

Changing Art. I suspect that someone has impersonated your dad and commit

ted the crime."

"Face–

Changing Art?" The rest of them exchanged glances with one another, shock

ed by Dustin's

words.

"Remember the Dark Lord's disciple who showed up at the annual gathering

that day? She had used Face–Changing

Art to disguise herself as Celeste," Dustin explained.

"That's right! When she escaped, I think she left behind a human face mas

k!" Ruth said.

"That is

to say, Hector might be framed for real?" Jessica's eyes brightened.

Although they knew nothing much about Face–

Changing Art, this speculation was their only

hope at the moment.

"Are you saying that the Dark Lord is behind this?" Natasha's expression

turned cold. This wasn't just about dirtying Hector's good name; it was a

lso about ruining the reputation of the Harmons and bringing the family t

o the brink of collapse.

"What a merciless move!" Natasha muttered inwardly.

"It's possible, but there's also someone who we mustn't leave out," Dusti

n reminded.

"Who?" Natasha narrowed her eyes.

"Tyler." Dustin's voice was flat. "He was rejected at the annual gatherin

g. Judging from how the Grant family conducts themselves, it's impossible

for them to gloss over the matter."

"Seriously?" Ruth frowned in thought. "The Grant family is one of the top

three most prominent families. It's impossible for them to do something

like this. Moreover, framing my father won't bring them any benefits.

"It's just my guess. If we want to catch the culprit, it'd be best to inv

estigate from here as a start," Dustin said.

"Jack, get the shadow guards to look into these immediately!" Natasha gav

e the order directly. "Noted!" Jack obeyed and left in a hurry.

Right then, a glint of silver light surged from the window all of a sudde

n and landed fiercely on the wall. It wasn't until they had taken a close

r look that they realized it was a silver hairpin with a piece of paper a

ttached to it.

"Miracle doctor, I know who the culprit is. Come alone to Lilyrius Restau

rant tonight at 8 pm. See you then." The note was signed off by someone c

alled Azalea.
