An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1226
In Balerno, Tyler was unmatched among the younger generation. Everyone believed that with him. leading the way, the Grant family would become even more influential and ultimately rule over Balerno.
When Tyler’s engagement was announced, it drew attention from all the folks in Millsburg. Not only that, but important people like leaders, merchants, and the rich from all major cities in Balerno also came to show their respect.
As dawn approached, the Grant mansion was bustling with guests. In the meeting room, Tyler sat at the center, calm amidst the grandeur. To his sides were key members of the Grant family uncles, aunts, cousins all lowering their status, hardly daring to make a sound.
When Tyler became General Lionheart and took over as the family patriarch from Arthur Grant, his grandfather, some elder members of the family weren’t happy.
They argued Tyler lacked experience and qualifications. But within three days, those who opposed him met unfortunate ends, and none of them fared well.
With such ruthless methods, Tyler quickly gained complete control of the family in under two weeks. Hence, the saying, “Those who support me thrive, those who oppose me suffer”.
Over time, his authority even surpassed that of his grandfather, making him a feared figure.
“Trent, it’s time. Where is the stuff I asked for?” Tyler asked. Instantly, everyone’s attention turned to the end of the table where the Harmon family members were seated.
“Well…” Trent hesitated, unsure how to respond. Failing to produce the promised treasure map by dawn was undeniably embarrassing.
“What? Did you take my words lightly?
“Tyler’s expression turned colder.
“No, we didn’t!” Trent quickly waved his hand. With a forced smile, he said, 11 Please give us a bit more time, Tyler. We’ll definitely have the treasure map by tonight.”
“I don’t like haggling. If the treasure map isn’t here, then today’s engagement celebration won’t happen. I’ll make your withdrawal public, and you’ll face the consequences!” Tyler threatened.
“Ah?” Trent was frightened, his body trembling. He knew too well about Tyler’s ruthless ways; failing to produce the treasure map would bring suffering to the entire Harmon family.
“Ty…” At that moment, Kate hurriedly entered the meeting room, dressed in a bridal gown.
“Kate, do you have news?” Trent’s eyes lit up as if seeing a savior.
“Yes.” She nodded and looked at Tyler, smiling. “Ty, please be patient. The treasure map is already on its way and will be in your hands within half an hour.”
“Oh? Is that so?” Tyler raised an eyebrow, finally softening his stern expression. “That’s for the best, or I’ll be very upset.”
“Tyler, the treasure map is guaranteed, but there might be a slight problem. I hope you won’t mind,” Kate cautioned. Even if she held someone hostage, she couldn’t be sure Dustin wouldn’t cause trouble.
“As long as there’s a treasure map, I’ll handle any issues,” Tyler replied casually, asserting his dominance.
“Then, it’s settled.” She let out a sigh of relief. Just as they were talking, a loud voice suddenly rang out. “Tyler! Get your ass out here, now!”
