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

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 Zestar’s new owner?”
“It’s absolutely true. I have a friend who works for Zestar. she told me that the current owner of Zestar is Hector,
Ms. Vanderbilt’s cousin. So, doesn’t that
make him Mr. Goldmann’s cousin-in-law?”
“Mr. Goldmann’s cousin-in-law is way too bold. Rumors have it that he single-handedly tore Zestar’s higher-ups
apart. Didn’t it appear in the news not long ago? If it weren’t for him, we would still be deceived by Zestar and know
nothing about the cr*p that’s happening within the company! ”
Lucy slowed down, smiled, and seemed to feel happy for Hector.
As soon as she entered the office, she was startled by Jenna, who was already sitting on the couch, waiting for her.
“Mom?” Lucy put her bag on the desk and walked up to her. “Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you’re coming
over to see me?”
Jenna put down the cup of tea in her hand. “Lucy, that friend of yours, whose name is Hector... Is he Mrs.
Goldmann’s cousin?”
Lucy turned around and sat down on the couch, she had already seen through her mother’s thoughts. “So what if
he is? Mom, our relationship isn’t what you think it is. We used to be colleagues, and he’s currently my neighbor.”
Jenna lowered her gaze. “Lucy, you haven’t spoken to me properly since you left the Xaviers. I know you still blame
me for my failure of not being able to provide you with a complete family.”
Lucy did not say anything.
Jenna stroked her slightly bulging but not very obvious-looking belly. “You once asked me whether I regretted my
choice. I do regret it, but at the same time, I can’t help it either. I’m not a saint, just an ordinary woman.
“After your father passed away, all our household burdens fell onto my shoulders. I had
to work alone and earn money to support you, and I’ve always wanted to give you the
best. But I couldn’t do it alone. No one in this world can get what they want just by
working hard. Lucy, I truly hope you can understand my hardship.”

her back on her. “ But I hope that you can understand me too.”
Jenna stared at her. “Don’t I understand you well enough?”
Lucy turned around. “If you truly understood me well enough, you wouldn’t always
think about arranging everything for me.”
Jenna was flustered. “I just don’t want you to face so many hardships!”
“You have your thoughts, but I have mine too.” Lucy’s emotions were getting a little out
of control too. “No matter who I get together with, you’re
always there, intending to cut in. You must think that you can rest assured as soon as I
get to marry a great man, right? okay, but have you ever thought about whether that’s
the life I desire?”
Jenna was rendered speechless.
Her original intention was good, she only wanted to help her daughter out, hoping she
would not have to work as hard as herself, but she had been ignoring her daughter’s
willingness all this while.
