Chapter 1659


    Zayn was speechless. He was so angry that he almostughed, what on earth was going


    on?


    He coldly reprimanded. “Get up! Get up and speak!”


    Hector did not intend to get up. “Director Zayn, I called you out just to tell you in all

    seriousness, that I have long repented and turned over a new leaf! Ever since that incident,


    I have regretted it for a very long time. I fell severely ill. Later on, I no longer gambled. To


    teach myself a serious lesson, I even severed my pinky.”


    Hector raised his hand and showed Zayn. Zayn looked closely and noticed that Hector’s


    pinky had indeed been severed. Zayn said nothing.


    Hector continued. “Ever since then, I had been diligent and attentive. I took care of my old


    mother and my daughter. All these years, I have a mother and a child to care for. I have


    never done anything illegal. If you don’t believe me, you can head to the police to check on


    my records. I’m just a small trader who abides by the rules. Also, ever since I had my


    daughter, I also realized that I was a b*stard back then. I spent all my energy teaching my


    daughter. Look at how well she turned out to be. I beg of you. For the sake of my daughter,


    who has had no mother since young, please do not tell her about my past. My daughter is


    a good girl. She did not have a mother since young. It’s really hard on her. As...as long as


    you treat my daughter well, I would be willing to die even if you ask me to.”


    Hector looked at Zayn with a bitter smile. He was covered in tears, and he did look quite


    pitiful. Zayn did not know what to say. When Zayn was young, Hector was his nightmare. It


    was only until Zayn was in his teens when he started to be less afraid of him. However, he


    never would have thought that he would be family with this person. Also, he saw with his


    own eyes how Hector treated Tessa’s mother. This was not quite the same as what Tessa


    said.


    Zayn thought for a while. “Tessa is a good girl. You are you, Tessa has nothing to do with


    you. Furthermore, when you wanted to kill our entire family back then, it was also


    unsessful. I will not pursue further what happened back then, of course, I won’t tell


    Tessa, because I don’t want her to be traumatized. Why don’t you get up?”


    Only then did Hector stood up, trembling. “T- Thank you, thank you, Director Zayn. Thank


    you, thank you!”


    Hector paused for a moment before expressing to Zayn. “Don’t you worry, Director Zayn, I


    will teach my daughter to be a good wife, to teach her children well and assist her


    husband. She will live properly in harmony with you. I will make sure she will be an


    obedient good wife. Although my daughter is outstanding, I know that it is a blessing for


    her, who came from a welldoing family, to marry an influential figure of South City. I will


    make sure that she would be a qualified wife for you! Don’t worry!”


    Looking at how respectful and servile Hector was, Zayn thought that he was rather


    spineless. Zayn had already told him how he would get Tessa involved and let bygones be


    bygones, yet Hector still fawned over him. Clearly, this was a man who was good at


    ttering others. Zayn’s impression of Hector was still not that great.


    Zayn sighed. He no longer wanted to see Hector’s cowering look, so he changed the


    subject. He deliberately asked, “Tessa has had no mother since young. What happened?


    Where is her mother?”


    Hector sighed. “...It’s my karma, when I was young, I did bad things, so I married a wife


    that almost got me killed. Not only did she almost bankrupt me, but she also abandoned


    Tessa and left when she was young.”


    Zayn remained calm andposed. He continued asking intentionally, “Then, where is


    Tessa’s mother now?”
