Chapter 1253 An Understated Dominance

Chapter 1253 Blame it to Kate’s Dad

“Stop making baseless accusations! I haven’t done anything; I am not involved in this mess!”

Faced with the questioning and accusations of the crowd, Kate became furious, “I warn you, if you dare to slander me again, be prepared for me to fight back!”

In a life-or-death situation, she naturally wouldn’t admit to anything.

Otherwise, she would die in vain.

“Kate! Stop causing trouble, if you don’t confess, none of us will survive!”

“That’s right! It’s clearly your fault, so why are you trying to harm us?”

The emotions of Harmon’s family members became even more agitated.

They didn’t expect Kate to be so shameless, spouting lies with her eyes wide open.

Everyone knew that the situation was already set, and the mastermind behind the scenes could not escape punishment. If she confessed willingly, it could still save the Harmon family.

But Kate not only lacked the resolve to confess but also tried to drag down the entire Harmon family.

She was truly heartless!

“Kate! All the physical evidence points to you; there’s no room for your deception. Confess quickly!” Thaddeus couldn’t help but shout.

He feared that Kate wouldn’t confess, and it would cause trouble for the Grant family.

“Confess, so your family can still survive.” Tyler spoke coldly.

“Tyler, Lord…”

Kate was struck as if by lightning, standing there dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe.

She thought Tyler would stand by her side, but one sentence from him had utterly dashed her hopes.

If even Tyler wouldn’t help her, was she doomed?

“Kate, everyone unanimously believes it’s you. Do you have anything else to say?” Dustin approached slowly, a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

“No… it’s not me… I didn’t… It’s not my fault…”

Kate’s face turned pale, and she shook her head frantically, offering a threefold denial.

But at this moment, her explanations sounded feeble and powerless.

“If it’s not you, then who is it?” Dustin asked from his vantage point.

“It… it…”

Kate’s eyes darted around, seeking help, and finally, she suddenly froze, pointing at Trent and shouting, “It’s my dad! He ordered me to do it; it’s all his fault!”

“Me?”

The accused Trent was left stunned, his face filled with shock.

Just moments ago, he had been contemplating how to free himself from the situation his daughter had put him in, but in the blink of an eye, his daughter was publicly accusing him.

She was placing all the blame on him.

For a moment, he didn’t know how to explain himself.

“So, you’re saying Trent is the true mastermind?” Dustin raised an eyebrow.

“That’s right! It’s my dad! He planned everything; he’s the one who had me kidnap Natasha. I was just a messenger; I didn’t know anything!” Kate kept exonerating herself.

The fear of death had made her forget about family ties; she only hoped to find a scapegoat to shoulder everything.

“Kate…”

Trent tried to say something, but Kate interrupted him, saying, “Dad! Admit it! It’s your doing; it’s your fault. You plotted everything!”

“Don’t try to defend yourself anymore; don’t drag me down. I’m still young, and I really don’t want to die!”

“Dad, please, confess!”

“If you don’t die, I won’t survive!”

As she said these words, she was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Her eyes were filled with supplication and pity.

She knew that in this world, the only person who could help her now was her own father. As long as he was willing to confess and take responsibility for everything, she could stay alive.
