Chapter: 1292
"Dad, it will be hard at first. But since everyone is nominating you, why don’t you accept it?" Kate said with a smile.
They had struggled this long all for this moment. Thankfully, their determination and efforts didn’t go to waste.
Her father had finally risen to power.
"Alright. Since everyone is insistent, I’ll try it for a few days.
"If a more suitable candidate shows up, I’ll step down and let them take over," Trent humbly. said with a smile.
"With Trent leading the family from now on, I believe the Harmons will reach even greater heights!" Jacob took the opportunity to flatter Trent.
"Congratulations, Uncle Trent! Congratulations on becoming the family head of us, Harmons! "Dylan shook his hand.
"Congratulations, Mr. Trent!" The crowd exchanged glances and was quick to catch on.
They congratulated Trent loudly together.
Trent burst into laughter. "Hahaha… Alright! From now on, I will do my best for the family. I will not disappoint you!"
"Trent, congratulations on getting what you wished for. With the injuries I have, may I be excused?" Hector bowed slightly.
"Go ahead. Take good care of yourself." Trent smiled and nodded.
Since he was just appointed the family head, he was in a good mood.
"Hold on!" Kate suddenly called out as the father and daughter were about to leave.
"Uncle Hector, even though you’ve taken the blame, it was ultimately Natasha’s mistake. If we don’t punish her properly, there might be others who would do the same in the future."
"What?" Natasha’s expression turned icy.
"We’ve already surrendered all our assets. What more do you want?"
"By returning the goods that had been stolen, does that mean the theft never happened? Don’t you think that would be letting you off too easy?" Kate crossed her arms.
"Exactly! While we spared you from the death penalty, you must be taught a lesson to prevent you from doing it again!" Dylan stated firmly.
"Don’t push it too far! You know very well whether I stole from the family treasury!" Natasha raised her eyebrows in anger.
She had always been sharp–minded. After what happened earlier, she was sure this had been a setup.
She was the bait, and her father was the prey. All accusations and schemes were planned to have Trent as the family head.
"What? The evidence is clear. Are you still going to try to argue your way out of this?" Kate sneered.
"Uncle Trent, you’re the family head now. It’s up to you to decide how to handle this," Dylan said.
"Considering that this is Natasha’s first offense, and she has shown timely remorse, we can spare her from physical punishment."
