An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1231

Chapter 1231 Pang of Sadness

“Splut!”

The sharp dagger stabbed into Hector’s back and emerged from his chest. A single drop of blood adorned the gleaming blade.

“Ugh…”

Hector’s body trembled, his expression frozen. He instinctively lowered his head to see the dagger tip protruding from his heart, slowly dripping with blood.

“Ah?”

This sudden turn of events left everyone in shock. No one had expected Brayden to make such a sudden and deadly attack.

Wasn’t it supposed to be one life for one life?

This guy had taken it to an extreme level.

“Hector?” Dustin was also taken aback. His attention had been focused on Tyler and Kate, and he hadn’t anticipated that Brayden, as a hostage, would launch such an attack.

“Du…Dustin… Take care of my daughter… from now on…” Hector uttered his final words with great difficulty before his head slumped down, lifeless.

“Even in death, he finds relief.”

Seeing this, Kate remained cold and unmoved. She wasn’t affected at all.

“Uncle…”

Among the crowd, Trent’s face showed signs of pain. Regardless of the circumstances, the two were brothers who had grown up together and carried the weight of their family on their shoulders.

Now that Hector had been killed, Trent couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness.

However, he didn’t dare to voice his anger because he couldn’t afford to offend the murderer.
