Dahlia Nicholson and Dustin Rhys Novel

Chapter 1130: "Revelation and Confrontation"

Harrison's simple words carried an undeniable aura of authority, causing everyone to tremble in fear and unease. Their eyes all turned towards General.

As the highest-ranking and most powerful figure present, the General's stance would determine the life or death of the entire clan.

"Rebel! You've harmed your siblings and brought calamity to the family. Your actions are treasonous, and now you have the audacity to ask me for an explanation? Do you truly see yourself as the victim here?" General sternly rebuked.

He had always believed that Harrison was his best successor. He possessed courage, intelligence, and cunning, and could have led the family to greatness. It was just a pity that his most talented son had strayed down the wrong path, causing a rift between him and the family.

Amidst his anger, there was also deep sorrow.

"Father, you need to understand that everything I've done was because of you. If it weren't for you, pushing my wife to her death, how could I have ended up on this path?" Harrison calmly stated.

"That woman's death is related to me. Even if it's true, so what? She deserved to die!" General said coldly.

"She was your daughter-in-law, but you actually think she deserved to die?" Harrison self-mockingly smiled.

"She was my daughter-in-law, but she was also a spy for an enemy nation, an enemy to our Dragonmarsh!" General said sternly. "Do you know how many of our young men have died unjustly on the battlefield because of the existence of such spies?"

"She had repented, and she never harmed anyone. Why? Why won't you give her a chance?" Harrison suddenly became emotional.

"She didn't harm anyone else, but she harmed you!"

General slammed the table. "You could have had a promising future, but look at what you've become now? Neither human nor ghost, just a disgrace to the Murray Clan!"

He could have supported Harrison's pursuit of love, even if it meant disregarding social status. Even if she were a beggar, as long as his son was happy, he would have agreed. But being a spy was unacceptable.

"I don't care about my future. I only want her by my side. I only want her to live!" Harrison's voice grew more forceful. "It's you-it's you who killed her! It's your fault for killing my wife!"

"Bastard! Don't you understand? That woman has been plotting against you all along, even in death, she didn't spare you!" General finally revealed the truth. "I did want to kill her, but I didn't force her to die. For your sake, I gave her a chance to leave alive. However, this woman was cunning and ruthless. In order to destroy you and strangle the most outstanding heir of the Murray Clan, she didn't hesitate to use her own life as bait. She set a trap to drive a wedge between us father and son! Our current conflict is all her doing! Wake up! Don't persist in your ignorance!"

Even until now, he had held onto a glimmer of hope, hoping that his son would see the light.

"Nonsense! You're lying!"

Harrison erupted in anger, his face twisted with rage. "Fatherl! You forced my wife to her death, and now you're trying to smear her name. You're nothing but a beast!"

"Third Brother! Father isn't lying. I can testify to what happened back then!" Caden spoke up again. "I remember everything clearly from that time. Even though that woman was a spy, for your sake, Father still spared her life. It's just that we never expected that she would willingly seek death and set up a trap to drive a wedge between us father and son! It's truly insane!"

"That's right! We can all testify!"

At this moment, the Murray family members chimed in one after another.

The events from back then had indeed been a misunderstanding or, more accurately, a trap laid by that woman to sow discord.

It had led to the current situation where father and son were in conflict.

"Shut up! All of you shut up!"

Harrison roared repeatedly, his expression becoming particularly fierce. "You're all a nest of vipers. Of course, you would speak up for General! If it weren't for your persistent coercion, how could my wife have been willing to leave me? You hypocritical pseudo-gentlemen! Today, I will make you all pay for your actions!"

With that, he waved his hand forcefully. "Bring them all into custody!"
