Chapter 426
“The gold is indeed tempting, but I don’t like it. So I can’t accept the conditions you just mentioned.” Dustin shook his head.
“If you don’t like gold, then name your price.” Hector raised his chin.
“Mr. Harmon, forgive me for speaking frankly, but Natasha should decide her marriage herself. As her parent, you shouldn’t forcefully interfere with such matters,” Dustin said.
“What?” Hector frowned. “Are you teaching me how to do things?”
“I’m just speaking the truth.” Dustin remained composed. “As parents, shouldn’t you want your children’s marriages to be happy?”
“Hmph! What do you even know?”
At this moment, Jessica couldn’t hold back any longer. “Do you know who Natasha’s fiancé is? He is Tyler Grant, a natural–born genius and the future rising star of the Dragonmarsh! Only by marrying him can Natasha have a good future!”
“That should be up to Natasha to decide. If she doesn’t want to marry him, you can’t force her.” Dustin argued reasonably.
“Are you implying a challenge to the authority of the Harmon family?” Hector’s expression turned grim.
“Mr. Harmon, I don’t want to be enemies with the Harmon family, but I’m willing to take this risk for Natasha’s
sake. I’ll repeat myself. As long as she doesn’t want to marry, no one can force her!” Dustin’s tone became
assertive.
“Hmph! What an arrogant youngster!“Hector’s eyes turned cold. “I’ve tried to speak nicely to you for Natasha’s sake, but if you insist on being stubborn, don’t blame me for turning my back on you!”
“Dustin! Don’t provoke my father. It’ll bring you no good.“Ruth desperately tried to hint at Dustin.
Her father was the head of the Harmon family. He wielded great power and was known for his resolute decisions. Although Dustin had some ability, he was clearly far from being able to contend with the Harmon
family.
“Mr. Harmon, you’re the one being stubborn, not me.” Dustin remained undaunted.
“Fine! Very well!” Upon hearing that, Hector smirked. “Young man, you surely are fearless! I’ll give you three days. If you’re willing to leave Millsburg within three days, I won’t hold it against you. But if you persist in going your way, you’ll have to bear the consequences!”
Il Dustin were to resist to the end, Hector would hold some respect for him. At least Dustin was a persistent person. However, he would look down on Dustin even more If he gave In Just like that.
“Mr. Harmon, it seems your health is in a bad condition. You probably won’t last three days.‘ Dustin dropped a bombshell.
“What are you talking about?” Hector furrowed his brow.
“Nonsense!” Hector snorted. “Do you think you can scare me just like that? You’re underestimating me!”
