An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1269

Chapter 1269 The Most Capable Harmon

Three days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Hector's funeral had been concluded, and his ashes were now enshrined in the Harmon family ancestral hall, where they would receive the offerings of future generations.

During this time, the Harmon family had suffered a series of unfortunate events, with troubles arising one after another. The once-mighty family had been torn apart.

After the funeral, the Old Harmon, who had already stepped out of the spotlight, convened a family meeting that all Harmon family members were required to attend.

In the conference room of the Harmon family.

Harmon’s grandfather sat at the head of the table, his hands gripping a cane, wearing a solemn expression.

On his left and right, the core members of the Harmon family were seated.

Hector had passed away, Trent had also perished, and Jacob had gone missing. Three sons had died or disappeared, and with internal and external troubles plaguing the family, the entire Harmon family was now without a leader and in its lowest ebb.

Old Harmon had no choice but to step forward and take charge of the situation.

"I believe you are all aware that the Harmon family has experienced many recent hardships and lost many members," Old Harmon began. "But the deceased are gone, and the living remain. We must quickly regain our composure."

"The Harmon family is now at a critical juncture of life and death."

"If we do not unite and work together, the entire Harmon family will be on the brink of destruction!"

As soon as Old Harmon spoke, he silenced everyone in the room.

"Grandfather, we all understand the principle of 'one's honor is everyone's honor, one's disgrace is everyone's disgrace,' but now the Harmon family is leaderless, and we have been repeatedly attacked. It's incredibly difficult for us to make a comeback," someone said.

"Yes, in recent times, many traitors have fled with the family's wealth, and many external forces have taken advantage of the situation. The Harmon family is beyond salvation," another person added.

"You're right! In my opinion, we should divide the remaining family assets and go our separate ways. This might actually be a way out," others chimed in, with a few even advocating for splitting the family.

The room erupted in discussion, with most people expressing pessimism and a complete lack of fighting spirit. A small minority were even suggesting the dissolution of the family.

"Calm down! Calm down!" Old Harmon slammed his cane on the ground, finally quieting the noisy room. He continued, "Although the Harmon family is facing difficulties, we have not reached a point of no return. As long as we unite, there is a way to resolve our issues."

"Father, what solution do you have in mind? Please tell us," someone asked.

"Right now, we need to choose a new family head to lead the entire Harmon family. With a capable leader, we can gradually recover our strength," Old Harmon explained.

"A new family head?" The members of the Harmon family exchanged glances, wondering who would be qualified to take on the role.

Trent and Hector were both deceased, and Jacob was missing. The second-generation heir of the Harmon family had been wiped out.

"Father, who do you think would be the most suitable candidate for the new family head?" someone inquired.

"At present, the only person with the ability to lead the entire family is Natasha!" Old Harmon declared confidently.

"Natasha?" As soon as this statement was made, everyone's gaze turned to Natasha.

Compared to her past radiant self, Natasha now sat quietly at her seat, seemingly indifferent to the discussion.

"As you all know, Natasha is exceptionally capable and possesses great business acumen. Over the years, the companies she founded have all thrived and accumulated substantial wealth. With her leadership, the Harmon family will undoubtedly be in good hands," Old Harmon said with full confidence.

"Natasha is indeed capable, but she is still quite young, and there is a slight difference in seniority. Suddenly promoting her to the position of family head, I'm afraid some people may not accept it," a senior member raised a question.

"In our current situation, we must have a leader who can take decisive action. In this regard, Natasha is the most suitable. As for matters of tradition and s
