Chapter 1043
“Regarding this matter, I’ve already explained it to your father and Trent. The treasure map was
stolen several years ago, and its whereabouts remain unknown,” Hector said.
“Uncle Hector, it sounds suspicious if you put it that way.”
Dylan grabbed a banana and casually peeled it. “The treasure map is a precious item. You’ve
deemed it more valuable than your own life..
“How would you let someone steal it? Are you sure you didn’t secretly hide it for yourself?”
“Are you doubting me? Where’s your evidence?” Hector furrowed his brows
“Uncle Hector, the day has eyes, and the night has ears. We all know the truth.”
Dylan took a bite of the banana and grinned. “As your nephew, I advise you to consider handing it
over soon. Otherwise, no one can guarantee that today’s events won’t repeat themselves.”
Everybody’s faces fell when they heard that. Especially Natasha, as her anger flared up.
She rushed forward and grabbed Dylan’s collar. “What did you just say? Are you saying you had a
hand in today’s accident?”
“Don’t get so worked up. I was just making a casual remark.” Dylan smirked and continued eating
his banana.
“Bastard! Natasha is your cousin. How dare yoù harm her? Are you even human?” Hector seethed
with anger.
“Uncle Hector, I was just joking. Look at how tense you all are over this. Cool down.”
But then, Dylan suddenly became solemn. “Of course, if you still refuse to hand over the treasure
map, that’s a different story.”
“Are you threatening me?” Hector’s face darkened.
“I won’t dare to do that. I’m just offering you a friendly reminder.”
Dylan smirked. “Uncle Hector, you’ve been in charge for many years and have made enemies.
“Without the Harmon family supporting you, your future days won’t be easy. I hope you’ll think it over carefully.
“I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you anymore. Goodbye.”
“Hmph! He’s such a jerk! Just looking at him makes me sick!” Ruth spat.
