Chapter 1404
Hector arrived at the office. Unsurprisingly, Olivia’s scandal had blown up, and
everyone was talking about it. He placed his bag on the desk and listened in on the
discussions with a light smile.
A man walked toward him and patted his shoulder. “ Hecky.”
He turned and nodded. “Mr. Lewis.”
Sean brought him to the corridor, which was quiet, and said, “You need to be careful. I
just got the news that the deputy director will protect Olivia, and she definitely told on
you. He’s probably going to speak to you soon.”
Hector was calm when he heard that. “I know.”
“Aren’t you worried?” Sean was surprised. He had framed Olivia and caused such a
scandal. The executives had to find a way to cover it up, so someone would have to be
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇta scapegoat.
Olivia would definitely say that Hector had framed her, so he would be facing a lawsuit
once the higher- ups made up their minds.
Hector patted his shoulder. “Mr. Lewis, there’s no need to worry. I have a plan, but I need you to work with me.”
“Hector.”
The people from the administration indeed came to find him. “The deputy director wants to see you. ”
Sean looked at him nervously.
Hector’s hand that was resting on his shoulder became heavy as if to ask him to relax. Hector then pulled away and
left with that group of people.
Hector and two employees walked into the office. The deputy director was there with two men, one of them with a
gold chain, whom he recognized. The man seated on the couch with a little belly looked like the boss of the man
with the gold chain.
“Hector Vanderbilt, you’ve got some balls! How could you do something that would cause a huge loss to Zestar?
What are your intentions of joining this company?”
The deputy director slammed the desk and glared at him furiously.
Hector smiled. “I have no intentions.”
“Don’t lie! ” The man threw a file next to his feet.
Hector took a glance but didn’t move.
The man on the couch breathed out some smoke, and his meaty cheeks were pushed aside as he smiled. “ You’re
Hector Vanderbilt, eh? I know you.”
Hector looked toward him.
The man had a gold ring which he knocked on the armrest. “You did some dirty things with my men in the past and
were sent to prison. Now that you’re a free man, you returned and backstabbed them. That’s interesting.”
The deputy director frowned. “You went to prison?”
Hector smiled and replied, “I was young and dumb.”
The man with the gold chain looked at him with resentment. “Hector, you betrayed me
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeven when I trusted you.”
He had called them and said he had found an actress, but it needed to be done with
night-vision. That was when they rushed to the hotel, but the police arrived soon after.
It was evidently a trap!
Hector looked up and calmly said, “Should I be manipulated by you like all those years
ago? You make it sound like we’re friends, but you’re just using me. There’s no betrayal
here.”
The man with the gold chain was enraged and was going to retort, but his boss raised
his hand to stop him. “Hector, I guess I need to settle this my way since you’re still
being stubborn.”
He looked toward the deputy director. “I’ll cover all of Zestar’s losses, but I’ll have to
bring this man away.”
The deputy director smiled and said, “Thank you, Mr. Brown.”
Hector’s face dropped, but he started laughing as if he knew a secret, “That’s why
those male celebrities have been banned from work. It’s all because of this.”
