Chapter 1433
Hector took Lucy to the front of the car. Seeing that Lucy looked distressed and did not
say a word, he grabbed her by her shoulders. “Lucy, you don’t have to take her words

family’s affairs are very complicated. I didn’t think so before this because I’m a boy,
and my grandmother favors sons over daughters and pampered me a lot.
“She had never taught me what’s right and what’s wrong. She would do anything for me as long as I wanted that
thing, no matter whether it was right or wrong. So much so that I thought she could save me even if I were to get

As she was passing by the stairwell, she suddenly heard someone’s voice, took a few
steps backward, looked into the stairwell, and saw the two relatives standing in the
corridor, chatting.
