He had seen many pretty women. However, he had never met a vixen like Kate. She knew how to
flaunt her charm to its peak.
The most important thing was this exceptional beauty before him was his future sister-in-law. The real
abyss of desire was the excitement of committing the forbidden. It was tempting. Kate suddenly let out
a sad sigh.
“What’s the matter? Is there anything bothering you?” Vlad asked. “It’s nothing. Please enjoy your
meal. It’s just a small issue. It’s nothing.” Kate forced a smile, pretending to be reluctant.
It would be very suspicious if she asked for help directly. But, if the other party insisted on finding out,
it’d be a different scenario.
“Kate, we’re family. Please tell me if something is troubling you. I’ll definitely help!” Vlad appeared to be
very sincere, placing a hand on his chest.

“Kate! What are you talking about?” Vlad put down his fork. He said unhappily, “What do you mean
trouble me? Are you looking down on me or what? Do you think I’m useless and couldn’t help you?”
“Oh no, I didn’t mean that.” Kate waved her hand.
“Kate, if you think of me as family, please tell me what’s on your mind. As your brother-in-law, I promise
I will make sure your problem is properly resolved,” Vlad said confidently.
“Vlad, will you really help me?” Kate appeared extremely touched. “Of course! You’re my sister-in-law. I
will always help you!” Vlad said candidly.
“Please don’t make fun of me when I tell you my problem. It’s actually related to Uncle Hector.”
Kate sighed and continued, “Even though my father is the family’s head, Uncle Hector holds the real
power. My uncle is overly ambitious and deceptive. He has always wanted to be the head.
“He has tried all the tricks in the book and used a lot of despicable maneuvers to rise to power. He
doesn’t see us as his family at all.
“My father is kind and would never be able to fight my uncle. He is left with no choice. He cries every
day and has even considered suicide.
“I could feel his pain as a daughter. However, I’m weak and can’t rise against my uncle. I could only be
patient and hope for the best.” When she finished speaking, Kate let out a long and sorrowful sigh.
“Hmph! This Uncle Hector of yours is too shameless. He’s worse than a dog!” Vlad slammed his hand
on the table in anger. He was indignant.
“I’ll let the bygones be bygones. However, my uncle is getting worse lately.” Kate continued to add fuel
to the fire and made herself the victim.
“My uncle stole our family heirloom and used it to threaten my father to surrender his position as the
family head.
“If we don’t get the family heirloom back, death will be my father’s only option. We have no one else to

Her pitiful appearance with teary eyes was truly heart-wrenching. Vlad’s instinct to protect was
immediately ignited. He stood up suddenly and said with conviction, “Kate, don’t you worry! I’ll take
care of this for you!
“I’ll send someone to capture Hector Harmon and interrogate him. I will make him surrender the family
heirloom and deliver justice to you!”
“Vlad, my uncle is cunning and is protected by a competent martial arts master year-round. It’s very
difficult to capture him,” Kate sighed.
“Hmph! He’s only a despicable man! I never saw him as a worthy opponent!” Vlad said proudly. He
continued, “Kate, you wait for my good news at home. I’ll give you a very satisfying answer tonight!”
With that, Vlad walked out the door, full of confidence.
“Vlad, please be careful,” Kate shouted, feigning concern. The smile on the corner of her lips was
slowly showing.
Men were truly animals that thought with their lower bodies. She had easily riled him up.
