Some of the girls in the department were so scared that they began to sob. The staff's eyes looked dim as they couldn’t see any hope. A few cars stopped in front of Zestar. A dozen men clad in black emerged from the cars and stood in two rows.Quincy opened the door to the back seat, and Hector got out of the car. He lifted his head to look at the building, and his gaze became more determined when he thought of what had happened to Sean. Quincy looked at him and said, “Let’s go, Hector. Mr. Goldmann said you can do whatever you want to do.”Hector took a deep breath and stepped into the building. Quincy followed behind with a team of lawyers and bodyguards.They barged straight into the administration department and went straight to the director's office. They put down the bodyguards that were guarding outside, and Hector pushed the door into the office open. The director of Zestar and a few higher-ups were in the middle of a meeting.When the deputy director beside the directo
The higher-ups were stunned.Hector took off his jacket and threw it to the floor. He picked up a vase on the side and walked toward the deputy director.The deputy director was so shocked that his face turned pale. As he took a step back, he said, “W-What are you trying to do? There are so many people over here. You're committing a crime if you dare to lay a single finger on me!”Hector lifted the vase, and the director shouted. “Stop!”The vase fell on the floor and smashed into pieces. However, the vase just shattered on the wall behind the deputy director, who was holding his head in his hands. Fear drove him to scream like a madman, and the floor soon became wet.When Hector saw he had pissed himself, he snorted. “Hah, so you’re a coward too.”Quincy looked toward the director, whose face was dark, and said, “You don’t have any choice now.”He handed the transfer agreement to him and continued. “Sign the agreement, and sell Zestar to Blackgold. As for your crimes, the cou
They waved the party crackers in their hands, whistled, and shouted to welcome their savior.Hector was stunned for a moment and finally gave off a helpless smile. He lowered his head, and his eyes turned a little bloodshot. “The person that everyone should thank is Mr. Lewis. If it weren’t for him, I might’ve…”As soon as Sean’s name was mentioned, everyone became quiet for a moment.No one could forget what happened to Sean.A male employee walked out of the crowd and placed his arm on Hector’s shoulder. “Hector, we don’t blame you for Mr. Lewis’ encounter. It’s not your fault but theirs instead.”“Yes, it’s those b*stards’ fault!”Hector chuckled and seemed to be able to blend in with the atmosphere and everyone else.…Lucy passed through the corridor of the department and suddenly heard several female staff members discussing Zestar. She did not pay much attention to it at first, but they mentioned Hector at that moment.“Is this true? So, Mr. Goldmann’s cousin-in-law is
The conversation could no longer go on, so Jenna bade Lucy goodbye and left.Jenna ran into Maisie in the corridor as Maisie came out of the elevator. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie smiled at her and approached her. “Mrs. Xavier, are you here for Lucy?”“Yeah, I originally wanted to come and talk with her, but communication seems to be getting increasingly difficult as she gets older.” Jenna gave off a wry smile as she could not help but feel extremely distressed deep down.‘The barrier between our relationship seems impossible to remove.’“Lucy is already an adult. And adults have their own thoughts and plans. Although parents’ worries are necessary from time to time, children will have their own lives when they grow up. You’re worrying too much, Mrs. Xavier.”Maisie’s advice caught Jenna off guard and stunned her for a split second, but she felt a little embarrassed after returning to her senses. “Mrs. Goldmann, you have three children, don’t you?”“Yes, but don’t be fooled by their
After getting off work, Lucy went to the mall to pick out a gift, but she really did not know what she could buy. Thus, she took out her cell phone, typed a message, and sent it to Elaine.However, the suggestions she got were all expensive luxury items she could not afford.‘I’ve definitely gone to the wrong person for advice.’Lucy looked around the mall, and her gaze landed on a souvenir store.She suddenly thought of Hector's mecha figure collection in his house.‘He should be interested in these, right?’Lucy went into the store to look for a gift, and the salesperson came up to her and introduced a few models to her enthusiastically. She told him it was a gift, and the salesperson instantly understood her needs. “Are you buying a gift for your boyfriend?”Lucy choked on her reply and became incoherent out of anxiety. “Of course not. He’s just an ordinary friend.”As if he did not hear her explanation, the salesperson brought her to the shelf on the other side of the shop.
Barbara and Pearl walked toward Maisie. “Your cousin is tonight’s protagonist. Why hasn’t he appeared yet?”Maisie smiled. “He’s probably still preparing.”Just when she said that Hector appeared at the scene, and next to him was Zestar’s former manager, Triden.Triden and Sean were partners at Zestar. Triden knew a thing or two about Sean’s death and the actions of the ex-Zestar higher-ups. It was Hector who hired him back to Zestar.Hector was more formally dressed today. He wore a three-piece suit. The attire not only made him look grand, but it also made him exude a mature and dignified aura.However, Hector felt a little restrained when he was wearing this outfit.Maisie walked toward him and adjusted his tie for him. “This is your first time dressed in something like this. You’re not used to it, aren’t you?”“Yeah, I’m really not used to it.”Hector felt awkward, and Triden, who was standing next to him, clicked his tongue. “There are still a lot of things you’re not used
The commotion attracted the people's attention, and Lucy panicked. She was also afraid that Edward would find out about her appearance at the party. “It’s okay. I’m fine.”She then ran out of the venue.The waiter called to her, but she did not look back.Hector seemed to have heard Lucy’s voice, so he turned his head to look, only to see a familiar figure sprinting away.And only the waiter was left behind, cleaning up the mess.Lucy ran to the bathroom and cleaned the wine stains on her dress with water, but the more she washed it, the dirtier it became.She felt extremely aggrieved all of a sudden and wanted to cry.At that moment, the phone in her clutch rang.She took the phone out, and it was a call from Hector.She hesitated for a few seconds before answering.Hector asked where she was.She picked up the clutch, left the bathroom, and ran to Hector, who came out to find her in the corridor.Hector turned his head and slowly put down the phone as his gaze was fixed o
Lucy walked toward the hall with Hector, and the moment the doors opened, she looked down to avoid their glances.The crowd looked toward them, and the scene froze. Maisie walked toward them and smiled. “Where did you go?”Lucy played with her fingers nervously. “Ms. Vanderbilt, I… I think I’ve brought trouble.”“There’s no trouble.” Maisie was going to take a sip when she suddenly saw the flower at the bottom of her skirt. “This flower looks beautiful.”“Hector used it to cover the wine stain. He just sewed it in.” Her face turned redder and looked like an apple under the light.Maisie laughed and turned to look at Hector. “Hecky is brave yet careful. He would probably spoil his future girlfriend.”Lucy’s heart skipped a beat, and she wouldn’t look up.Barbara suddenly walked over and placed her hand on Maisie’s shoulder. “You’re already picking a cousin-in-law?”Maisie denied it. “I want to pick daughters-in-law for my sons too, but they’re still young.”Barbara moved her
