An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1216
Trent and Kate stood beside him meekly. They didn’t dare to make any noise, and they appeared pitiful.
When they were captured by the Dark Panther Cavalry, they were released in just two days. From what
they could deduce, Tyler must have convinced the Scarlet Warrior to let them go.
This was enough to prove that they had placed their loyalty on the right person. “Our engagement is
tomorrow. Is everything ready?” Tyler finally spoke after finishing one round of chess.
“Well…” Trent’s expression froze when he heard that, and he instinctively looked at his daughter.
“Tyler, we almost succeeded. But Dustin Rhys, that bastard, ruined our plan and captured us.” Kate
cursed as she explained.
“That’s enough. I don’t want to hear excuses.” Tyler threw them an icy glance. He continued, “I want to
see results, not the process. According to our deal, you’ll get me the treasure map, and I’ll give you my
support to rise to power.

the promise. What about you?”
“Tyler, we tried our best. Could you please give us a few more days? I promise I’ll get the treasure map
for you!” Trent said confidently.
“That’s right, Tyler. With a few more days, we can definitely fulfill our promise to you!” Kate nodded.
“I hate people who can’t keep their word. The deal was to get me the treasure map before the
engagement.
“If you can’t do that, tomorrow’s engagement will be canceled. From then on, we’ll have nothing to do
with each other.” Tyler said without any expression.
“Huh?” Trent and Kate paled when they heard that. The situation in the Harmon family was very volatile
as everyone was ready to pounce on each other to gain power.
Without the Grant family’s protection, they would lose the dominance they had just secured very soon.
“Tyler! It can’t be canceled!” Kate was a little anxious. She quickly reassured Tyler. “Please give us
another chance. We can definitely get the treasure map!”
She finally got the chance to marry into an extremely wealthy family and become the wife of a general.
She wouldn’t give it up so easily. She’d do anything to defend her current status regardless of the cost.
“Talk is cheap. I want results.” Tyler replied calmly. “You still have tonight. Don’t say I didn’t warn you
when you can’t produce the treasure map before the engagement party tomorrow.”
“Not a problem! We’ll get to it right away!” Kate nodded eagerly. She was left with no choice; she must
gamble.
“Alright, then. Don’t disappoint me.” Tyler waved his hand to dismiss them. “Of course.” Trent and Kate
didn’t hesitate and quickly left.
After they left the study, Trent was a little distressed. He lamented, “Kate, we only have tonight. How
are we going to get the treasure map?” They had. tried so many ways but to no avail. It’d be more
difficult now.
“Dad! We can’t keep playing nice. It’s time we bring out the real guns. If we miss this opportunity, we’ll

“The real guns? What do you mean?” Trent suddenly felt uneasy. “We’ll abduct and torture Uncle
Hector. We’ll force him to surrender the treasure map.” Kate said, looking murderous.
“Torture?” Trent frowned.
He continued, “Kate, he’s your uncle and our family. It’s a bad idea.”
Even though they had been in a feud, no one had crossed the line. They were brothers, after all. He
didn’t have the heart to actually kill them.
“Dad! We’re running out of time! If we don’t do it this way, we’ll never get the treasure map!”
With a terrifying expression, Kate continued, “Every man for himself! We’re this close to succeeding.
We can’t let all our efforts go in vain. “The ends justify the means. This is our only chance. We have to
give it all we’ve got!”
Trent fell silent when he heard that. After a while, he nodded heavily. “It’s for your sake and for the sake
of our future. We’ll have to disown our family!
