An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1218

Chapter 1218 Just A Small Trouble

He had seen many beautiful women, but someone like Kate, who maximized her feminine charm and acted like a seductive enchantress, was something he had never encountered before. What’s more, this extraordinary beauty was his sister-in-law. The forbidden allure of such a situation ignited a deep desire, making him itchy and restless.

“Sigh…”

After some small talk, Kate suddenly pretended to sigh with sorrow.

“What’s wrong? Sister-in-law, do you have something on your mind?” Brayden asked proactively.

“It’s nothing, really. Just a small trouble,” Kate replied, feigning a distressed look. “You were injured recently, and I don’t want to trouble you.”

“Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?” Brayden said with a hint of disappointment. “What do you mean by ‘trouble’? Are you looking down on me or thinking that I’m incapable of helping you?”

“No, no, that’s not what I meant,” Kate waved her hand, pretending to be modest.

“Sister-in-law, if you consider me family, just tell me what’s bothering you. I promise to help you with any difficulties!” Brayden declared confidently.

“Well, alright then. Since you’re willing to help me,” Kate began, “I must tell you, this matter involves my third uncle.”

Kate continued, putting on an act of distress, “Although my father is the current head of the Harmon family, the real power lies in the hands of my third uncle, Hector. He’s an ambitious and cunning person who has always coveted the position of family head. He’s used all sorts of despicable means to achieve his goals, completely disregarding family bonds.”

“My father is kind-hearted and couldn’t possibly contend with Hector, who has pushed him into a corner. My father often cries and has even had thoughts of suicide,” she added, her voice trembling with emotion. “As a daughter, watching my father suffer like these pains me deeply. However, I’m just a weak woman and have no ability to challenge my third uncle. I can only endure and make compromises.”
