Chapter 1654
That woman had an indignant expression on her face. “I am saying that you’re an old man dating young girls! No matter how you look at it, you seemed to be in your thirties! This is called cheating. Do you know that?”“What…what are you talking about? Do we know each other?” Zayn stuttered.At that moment, he did see the woman’s appearance clearly. The woman had a bit of grey hair and she seemed like she was not that young anymore. Her features were decent and there was a deep vertical line in between her eyebrows as if she had many dreadfully worrisome matters. The woman looked like a homeless person from afar, but she did not give off an unkempt feeling to others upon seeing her up close. On the contrary, she was very clean and tidy. However, her clothes were discolored all over from being washed too many times, and there were also torn places on her sleeve and hem of the shirt. Such a person did not look like an unreasonable woman. She was more like…a fallen princess.“Ma’am, I…I

Zayn was furious. He took out his phone and called Tessa. The call was picked up very quickly on the other end of the line, and Tessa’s voice was indeed all choked up. “Zayn?”“Tessa, did your mother harass you again?” Zayn asked straightforwardly.Tessa immediately insisted. “No, Zayn, she didn’t.”“That’s not right. You’re crying! Tell me the truth, did she harass you again?” Zayn said.Tessa cried. “No, Zayn. I was the one who called her. I just wanted her to stay further away from me. I didn’t want her to harass her, so I took the initiative to call her. It’s alright now. Zayn, go back. Don’t delay your work at the company. I want to be alone for a while. I…I will want to cry once I see you, I will not be able to hold myself back. So, go home. I don’t want to cry anymore. I want to do my job properly.”Zayn thought about it, Tessa was right. She originally could hold it back and stay strong when she was alone, but she certainly would want to cry when she saw him. It was time t

Zayn had never expected that the world would be this small. Hector Caven was unexpectedly Tessa’s father.“Do you know my dad?” Tessa asked in surprise.Zayn was speechless. He knew him but he was not very familiar with him. Zayn had met Hector twice, and he had left a very bad impression on Zayn both times. The first time was when Zayn was about six years old. One year when Zayn’ parents brought to travel outstation to play, they were suddenly threatened by a few of the hooligans. The leader was Hector.At that time, Hector was still very young. He looked like he was in his twenties. He brought about six men and had forced Zayn’s family of three to a desolate place at the tourist attraction. He threatened them, holding a knife. “I urge that you let go of the Smith Group. Otherwise, you will suffer a bad end!”However, what Hector did not expect was that Zayn’s father was not afraid of being threatened. Zayn’s father put his chest against the knife. “I dare you to stab me to death!
Chapter 1657
However, Hector just could not do it.Hector begged, pestered, and was also unreasonable in front of Zayn’s father. In the end, Zayn’s father indeed had given Hector a million dollars for the sake of him sparing his family’s life. Not only that, but Zayn’s father also had aggressively eradicated that leader’s base overnight with lightning speed. This way, Hector no longer had any worries.Later on, Zayn’s father heard from that leader of the debt collectors that it was Zayne’s uncle and family who wanted to kill them. Hector, on the other hand, was only a pawn being used. Zayn’s father then warned Hector to stop gambling in the future! He has to turn over a new leaf. Sure enough, Hector had never gambled ever since then. However, considering that Hector was not someone with good manners, the Smith family also did not have any more contact with Hector.Almost six years had passed in a blink of an eye. When Zayn met Hector again, Hector already looked quite decent. Zayn had once gone

Hector was startled, but he smiled at Zayn. “Young man, do you know me? You must have come to my store and bought something there. I have never expected you to become my son-in-law, but you have a good eye. My daughter is the cream of the crop. She graduated from a famous college and is currently working in the largest company in South City. I also heard that her boss appreciates her.”“Mister Caven, my name is Zayn Smith. I am the current director of the Smith Group. You should have heard of it, right?” Zayn looked calmly at Hector.Hector had been peeling an onion in his hands. Suddenly, the onion fell to the ground. He glanced at Zayn in horror, and then he immediately fixed his expression. Hastily, he laughed as he looked at Tessa. “You little girl, why did you…not inform me beforehand that you have found a rich boyfriend? You gave me a shock.”Tessa then wrapped her hands around Hector’s neck. “Dad! Although Zayn is the director of the Smith Group, he is just my boyfriend in my

Zayn was speechless. He was so angry that he almost laughed. What on earth was going on?He coldly reprimanded. “Get up! Get up and speak!”Hector did not intend to get up. “Director Zayn, I called you out just to tell you in all seriousness, that I have long repented and turned over a new leaf! Ever since that incident, I have regretted it for a very long time. I fell severely ill. Later on, I no longer gambled. To teach myself a serious lesson, I even severed my pinky.”Hector raised his hand and showed Zayn. Zayn looked closely and noticed that Hector’s pinky had indeed been severed. Zayn said nothing.Hector continued. “Ever since then, I had been diligent and attentive. I took care of my old mother and my daughter. All these years, I have a mother and a child to care for. I have never done anything illegal. If you don’t believe me, you can head to the police to check on my records. I’m just a small trader who abides by the rules. Also, ever since I had my daughter, I also real

Hector sighed again. “Who knows where she has ended up? She was here and there. She did not have a fixed place nor did any honest work! She was a woman who was only active at night, it is such a humiliation to Tessa to have a mother like that!”When Zayn heard what Hector said, he thought about the woman he met outside Ford Group. The woman had a pale face, but she did not have the aura of a flirtatious and debauched woman who works at night. However, Zayn was not sure if that woman was Tessa’s mother.He probed Hector. “How did you meet Tessa’s mother in the first place?”Hector was stunned. “W-What’s your point in asking this?” He clearly looked nervous and a little guarded.Zayn smiled a little. He came clean to Hector. “To be honest with you, Tessa has been harassed recently. I think it’s her mother calling…”“This woman deserves to die! How terrible! I had even thought of killing her!” Hector said suddenly.Zayn was shocked. “What? You want to kill again?”Hector immediatel

“Our greatest obstacle was that I was more than ten years older than her, but I really loved her. We got pregnant not long after getting married. The three of us were extremely happy. If we had a child, we would be able to live happily in the future.”There was a pause before Hector sighed heavily. His face was filled with frustration and anger. “Who would have thought…”At that point, he suddenly stopped speaking. His expressions became gloomy. Zayn could hear that what he said and what Tessa said were similar. However, Tessa did not go into such details like Hector.“What happened?” Zayn asked.“Humiliation! It was so humiliating!” Hector sighed. He looked at Zayn with an embarrassed expression. “Tell me, which man would be able to stand it after encountering such an incident? I was so good to her. I took her in and paid off her debt of a few hundred thousand dollars. The four of us were living happily initially, who knew that after a few years with me, she…would have an affair.
