Zayne and the rest of the men wanted to laugh.
Meanwhile, Ysabel said to Donald anxiously, “Donald, why don't we just lay the matter to rest?”
Mark seemed to notice a glimmer of hope. He turned to Hector and yelled, “Save me, Mr. Zahn! Save me!”
Hector was even more certain about his hunch as he believed they would not bet on it.
If they angered Lord Campbell, they would run into trouble.
“You can't afford to offend General Felton. It's not for all of you too late to leave now.” Hector basked in reflected glory as he spoke.
A smug look also appeared on his face.
Although Hector felt somewhat guilty, he still thought that people like Lord Campbell would not mind if he used the latter's name to his advantage.
Donald remarked wryly, “Really?”
Hector nodded firmly. “Yes. Listen to this if you don't believe me."
Then, he took out his phone and called his father, Jason. “Hey, Dad. Where are you?”
“I'm coming soon. Hang in there! I want to see who dares to hurt you!” Jason's angry voice could be heard from the other end of the line.
“Have you met General Felton?” Hector asked. He also purposely turned on the speaker mode on his phone.
“I’ve just met him and signed the contract. Currently, we aren't together. I'm coming to Nocturne Karaoke Bar at once,” Jason replied.
Hector ended the call smugly and
shrugged. “See. I'm right.”
After that, he let out a sigh before continuing, “I can't help it. My family's business isn't huge, but General Felton trusts us. You are no match for us.”
While he was talking, Jason arrived.
