chapter 1660

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 immediately chuckled awkwardly. “No, no, Director Zayn. I didn’t mean anything by

that. I only think that this woman is despicable! She has never brought up her daughter.

She has never taken care of her daughter when she was young, now that she’s all grown

up, she harassed her. What would the child think of that?”

He paused for a while before asking Zayn, “ Can’t we take her to court over this matter? I

heard that as long as you have blood relations, even if she did not bring up and care for

Tessa, Tessa still has to care for her. Is that it?”

Zayn nodded. “It’s something like that.”

Hector suddenly pounded the railings next to him. “Howhorrible!”

Zayn said in a persuading tone, “I came here today to do two things. One is to visit Tessa’s

father, the other is to help Tessa solve her problem with her mother because if her mother

continues to harass her, it will affect her job and life badly. We must fix this problem. Can

you tell me how you and Tessa’s mother got married and then divorced?”

Although Tessa has already told him about this, Tessa was not the main person involved,

after all. Moreover, her mother left when she was still very young. Many of her memories

were fuzzy.

When Hector heard Zayn asking this question, he sighed and said aggrievedly, “Back then,

I took a million dollars from your father. To be honest, it was not enough to pay off my

debts. I still had to take care of my old mother. What could I do? I took odd jobs all around.

I had a few jobs in a day. It was a very hard time. Also, a few of our surrounding neighbors

knew that I used to gamble, so they spread the rumors all around. No one would introduce

a girl to me to be my girlfriend. This was on hold as I got older. Even if I tried very hard, no

one wanted me. Back then, I regretted it terribly. I regretted gambling, but what use was

there regretting? I also had low self-esteem then. I thought that I won’t find a wife anymore

for the rest of my life.”

He continued. “Just when I was in despair, I found a girl by the roadside, she was working

at the nightclub at such a young age. That day, when I found her, she had been beaten up

badly, covered in bruises. I brought her back home. It took a long time for her to

recuperate. Later, I found out that she also owed others money. It was quite a huge sum,

about a few hundred thousand. At that time, I was happy. I found this girl. Doesn’t that

mean she could be my wife? I did not mind helping her pay back her debt. I also did not

mind that she used to be a bargirl, as long as she was willing to spend her life with me. I

did not despise her because my life was also tainted. The two of US could just get by like

this. She agreed to it too.”
