Chapter 549
“You?” Trent was caught off guard when he saw Kate step forward. He had never thought that his daug
hter woulde forward in the family’s time of need.
“That sounds good. I think Kate is indeed a suitable candidate. We should consider letting her take
Natasha’s ce for the marriage alliance,” Jacob vouched for Kate.
The rest of the family nodded in agreement when they saw Jacob backing Kate up. They were convinc
ed that Kate was just about as good as Natasha, both in looks and abilities. It really wasn’t a bad idea t
o let her marry Tyler.
“Kate, this is noughing matter. You should consider it carefully,” Hector warned sternly.
“Uncle Hector, I’ve given it much thought. Since Natasha is reluctant to marry Tyler, I’ll do it,” Kate anno
unced boldly.
“Are you really willing to sacrifice yourself for the family?” Hector asked once again.
“Well, someone has got to do it, so it might as well be me. This is my responsibility as a Harmon!” Nata
sha dered righteously. Although she put on a dignified and honorable front, she was
actually ted inwardly.
Sacrifice? What a joke! Tyler was powerful, influential, and
had a high social standing. He had a promising future! And on top
of that, he had the looks to match. It would be a dreame true for Kate if she were to marry such an
excellent man!
Since the beginning, Kate had always been indignant that Natasha would be the one
to marry Tyler. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever thought that Natasha would willingly choose t
o
break it off.
But now that the opportunity of a lifetime had presented itself to her, Kate wasn’t about
to let it go. This was her one chance to step into the elite circle. If she were to marry Tyler and be
the next matriarch of the Grant family, she’d possess such vast powers!
“You’re Kate’s father, Trent. What do you have to say about this?” Hector turned to Trent for his opinion
before deciding on the matter. From how he saw it, the Grant household was a dangerous ce to be i
n. He really could not bring himself to subject his niece to such suffering.
“Well …” Trent frowned, obviously caught in a dilemma. Under normal circumstances, it
would have been a great thing to be married to Tyler. But with how things were currently, where both fa
milies had had such a major fallout, he couldn’t say for sure whether it was a good thing.
“Dad! I’ve put my mind to it. Nothing anyone says can change
my mind. Besides, you’re their older brother. You should lead by example!” Kate gave her father a wink,
signaling him to just go with. it. She was worried that her father might
not get what she meant and decided
to turn down the opportunity. After all, chances like these did note by often. She did not wish to pa
ss it up.
“Well, since Kate is adamant, I have nothing to say.” Trent shook his head. He was sure that with his da
ughter’s wits, she was bound to have something up her sleeves. He did not want to stand in
her way.
“What do the rest of you think?” Hector turned to face the rest of the family to get their say on the
matter.
“Kate is doing this for the family! We should support her!”
“That’s right! There’s no better alternative anyway!”
The crowd was quick to voice their approval. It didn’t matter to them who married Tyler. All they were co
ncerned about was the sess of the marriage alliance to protect the interest of the
family.
“I have everyone’s support, Uncle Hector. Surely you can’t say no?” Kate asked cautiously.
“Sure, I can agree to it. But the question now is, will Tyler agree to it?” Hector suddenly came in from a
different perspective. It served no purpose for them to be so worked up
over the prospect of Kate recing Natasha because the final decision rested with Tyler.

“Uncle Hector, I’m notcking in the looks department, and I’m much more talented than Natasha. I’m c
ertain Tyler will not reject me.” Kate had all the confidence in the world.
“Why don’t we ask him to find out?”
