Chapter 515
The fact that Hector was arrested caused quite a stir among the members of the Harmon family.
Everyone was rushed off their feet, using whatever connections they had to 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 public.
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 drink 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 was 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 directed at Dad. No one
will believe us.”
“Sometimes, what we see might not be the truth, so we mustn’t just look on 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 this world, which is called Face–Changing Art. I suspect that someone has impersonated your dad and committed the crime.”
“Face–Changing Art?” The rest of them exchanged glances with one another, shocked 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 mask!” 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 also about ruining the reputation of the Harmons and bringing the family to the brink of collapse.
“What a merciless move!” Natasha muttered inwardly.
