Zayn was stunned when he heard such words. Zayn originally did not have a good impression of Hector, and he was even more suspicious when he saw Hector's evasive behavior.
"Why?” asked Zayn.
"I don’t...don't want to trouble him," Hector said.
Zayn looked directly at Hector. "This matter has already become a sore point for Tessa. It has already severely affected Tessa's work and life. She has always been very afraid that it was unable to settle and the case could not be won after taking it to court. Sebastian is going to take charge and settle it for you guys now. Could it be that you have secrets that are difficult for you to disclose?
Tessa persuaded Hector. "Dad, if Director Ford wants t o settle this matter, then he will certainly resolve it thoroughly! Why don't you agree? What are you afraid of?"
Hector was hesitant to speak. In the end, he said in a disheartened manner, "Your mother cheated on me. Who in this world is willing to publicly disclose the matter of being cheated on by his wife?"
Zayn and Tessa were both speechless. Zayn still had suspicions. When he came over three days ago, Hector was still very willing to settle the matter. He felt it was
best for Hana to be charged and imprisoned. In the end, once he heard that Sebastian was taking charge and settling the matter, he did not agree anymore? Was Hector afraid that the matter of his wife cheating on him would be made public or was he afraid of... Sebastian?
When Zayn found a window of opportunity, he pulled Hector aside., "Are you worried that the thing you've done to us more than twenty years ago would be found out by others? That’s why you're not willing to settle the matter? If that is the case, then you don't have to worry! I have said it before, for the sake of Tessa, I will never bring up the thing you've done back then again in this life, so I will never do it. Firstly, it was because you indeed love Tessa and is a qualified and good father. I also indeed do not wish for Tessa to have any psychological burden. Another reason was that although you did want to kill us back then, you did not go through with it in the end. This is no big deal. It’s fine as long as you've turned over a new leaf."
Hector kept thanking Zayn. "Thank you, I..."
He was not afraid about the matter from twenty years ago. He was afraid because of Sebastian. Although Hector has never met Sebastian and has never interacted with him, he still clearly knew the deterrent power of Sebastian in South City. If Sebastian was to take charge and settle this matter, then he certainly would get to the bottom of everything about this matter. Hector was afraid that h e could not bear the consequences when the time
