Chapter 809

Chapter 809:

“He never spoke near my device.

However, Tatiana, suffering under Hector’s abuse, wanted desperately to break free from his grip.

I had once outfitted her clothes with a listening device.

She likely suspected I had a backup plan, so she detailed Hector’s plans while in his villa.”

Dane let out a long breath, feeling a weight lift from his shoulders.

The success of their efforts had been no coincidence; it was the result of everything falling perfectly into place.

Without those vital pieces, even if the group had survived the ordeal, they never would have been able to capture Hector.

Before hanging up, Madisyn cautioned Dane to remain careful.

Dane set the phone down and turned to Aldin, who lay on the bed.

“Aldin,” Dane said softly.

Aldin sighed deeply, his face etched with regret.

Dane stepped closer, placing a hand on Aldin’s shoulder.

“Don’t blame yourself.”

Aldin’s eyes glistened with unshed tears, and his voice was thick with sorrow.

“It’s my fault.

I failed him as a father.

I never thought he would stoop so low, committing such heinous acts!”

The weight of Hector’s crimes—cruelty to animals, abuse of women—was crushing.

Each act alone was enough to warrant prison.

Seeing the pain etched on Aldin’s face, Dane felt an ache in his chest.

He had known that, in his darkest moments, Hector would undoubtedly think of Aldin for help.

But knowing Aldin’s unyielding integrity, there was no chance he would extend his hand.

Aldin had always stood firmly against wrongdoing, even at great personal cost.

Though Hector’s downfall would grieve him as a father, he would never justify his actions.

This was why Dane had laid bare all of Hector’s deeds.

Aldin had been shocked and furious, but he agreed to go along with Dane’s plan, pretending to plead with Dane to let Hector go.

It was to make Hector believe he could escape this ordeal and thus reveal his dealings with the Pearl Group over the years.
