Chapter 99
âHector, why did you do that?â I asked doubtfully as I looked at him.
He patted me on the head and laughed as he said, âTo help you, silly. When I saw what you were like at the hospital, I knew that you cared about every woman who appeared beside Gordon. As a friend, Iâm simply helping you eliminate the obstacles.â
His explanation sounded logical.
However, I clearly remembered that all of them had been immediately drawn to Sabrina in my past life. They had clearly rejected me, and Hector had treated Sabrina like a younger sister at the time. He had taken care of everything for her, just like he was doing now for me.
Why had he changed so drastically?
I frowned as I looked at him. He seemed harder to read than Gordon, and I couldnât make
sense of it no matter how I tried.
âBut even if you told Nathan to trick Sabrina into attending the concert, she could still rush
back.â
Hector simply smiled.
âSince I arranged this trap, I also ensured she wouldnât be able to return in time. Donât ask about the details. Just tell me how youâre going to thank me.â
That was true. What was done was done. There was no point in asking about the details.
Sabrina had lied to Gordon and said that Nathan had imprisoned her, but now it seemed she had just said so to preserve what was left of her image.
âAlright. How do you want me to thank you?â I asked.
Hector laughed again. He laughed brightly, and the diamond studs on his left ear twinkled, making him appear as a ray of sunshine.
He said, âYou can owe me for now. When youâve owed me enough, you may return the favor
all at once.â
âWhat if I canât pay it back when the time comes?â
âIf you canât pay it backâ¦â he suddenly came close to my ear and said in a bewitching tone.
âYou can pay me back physically! Besides, I know you and Gordon will break up sooner or
later.â

I jolted in shock.
Could Hector read my mind? I hadnât told him anything, but he seemed to see through every thought I had.
What did he mean by that?
Was he interested in me?
That was impossible. Weâd never interacted much in the past, and I wasnât his type.
âHector, how dare you make fun of me!â
I decided he was teasing me, so I immediately pummeled him wildly.
He grabbed the glass from my hand and gulped it down with no regard for the fact that I had just drunk from it. Then he laughed and ran off.
âTaylor, itâs not like thereâs no possibility between us, right?â
I didnât want there to be potential between us.
If I left Gordon one day, I would also leave his circle. I would leave everything connected to
him far behind.
I was filled with contempt, so I ran up to Hector and grabbed his collar. I suddenly had a mischievous thought when I saw a bucket of ice nearby.
I grabbed the ice bucket and poured it down his collar without a second thought.
Hectorâs face instantly contorted as he screamed. Then he began shaking uncontrollably, making me burst into wild laughter.
