An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 549

Chapter 549 

“You?” Trent was caught off guard when he saw Kate step forward. He had never thought that his daughter would come forward in the family’s time of need. 

“That sounds good. I think Kate is indeed a suitable candidate. We should consider letting her take 

Natasha’s place for the marriage alliance,” Jacob vouched for Kate. 

The rest of the family nodded in agreement when they saw Jacob backing Kate up. They were convinced that Kate was just about as good as Natasha, both in looks and abilities. It really wasn’t a bad idea to let her marry Tyler. 

“Kate, this is no laughing matter. You should consider it carefully,” Hector warned sternly. 

“Uncle Hector, I’ve given it much thought. Since Natasha is reluctant to marry Tyler, I’ll do it,” Kate announced boldly. 

“Are you really willing to sacrifice yourself for the family?” Hector asked once again. 

“Well, someone has got to do it, so it might as well be me. This is my responsibility as a Harmon!” Natasha declared righteously. Although she put on a dignified and honorable front, she was 

actually elated inwardly. 

Sacrifice? What a joke! Tyler was powerful, influential, and had a high social standing. He had a promising future! And on top of that, he had the looks to match. It would be a dream come true for Kate if she were to marry such an excellent man! 

Since the beginning, Kate had always been indignant that Natasha would be the one to marry Tyler. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever thought that Natasha would willingly choose to 

break it off. 

But now that the opportunity of a lifetime had presented itself to her, Kate wasn’t about to let it go. This was her one chance to step into the elite circle. If she were to marry Tyler and become the next matriarch of the Grant family, she’d possess such vast powers! 

“You’re Kate’s father, Trent. What do you have to say about this?” Hector turned to Trent for his opinion before deciding on the matter. From how he saw it, the Grant household was a dangerous place to be in. He really could not bring himself to subject his niece to such suffering. 

“Well …” Trent frowned, obviously caught in a dilemma. Under normal circumstances, it would have been a great thing to be married to Tyler. But with how things were currently, where both families had had such a major fallout, he couldn’t say for sure whether it was a good thing. 

“Dad! I’ve put my mind to it. Nothing anyone says can change my mind. Besides, you’re their older brother. You should lead by example!” Kate gave her father a wink, signaling him to just go with. it. She was worried that her father might not get what she meant and decided to turn down the opportunity. After all, chances like these did not come by often. She did not wish to pass it up. 

“Well, since Kate is adamant, I have nothing to say.” Trent shook his head. He was sure that with his daughter’s wits, she was bound to have something up her sleeves. He did not want to stand in 

her way. 

“What do the rest of you think?” Hector turned to face the rest of the family to get their say on the

matter. 

“Kate is doing this for the family! We should support her!” 

“That’s right! There’s no better alternative anyway!”
