Hector smiled. “I gave you a chance to apologize, but you didn’t take it.”
Mr. Lowe laughed hysterically. “You want me to apologize to a kid like you?” He balled up his fist. “Are
you dreaming? Who do you think you are?”
Hector pushed his hand away and pushed him away. He brushed out the wrinkles on his shirt, and his
actions startled Mr. Lowe.
Hector approached him. He was half a head taller than Mr. Lower and was overbearing. “You don’t need
to know who I am.”
He patted Mr. Lowe’s cheek. “Since you failed to frame me, you should give up. I know what you did, so
you should just cooperate with me, or I can’t guarantee that no one else will find out about your secret.”
“A-Are you threatening me?” Mr. Lowe’s face was pale, but he wasn’t fierce enough compared to Hector.
Hector smiled. “Mr. Lowe, not every newbie can be threatened. You’re not threatening enough to me.” He
ignored Mr. Lowe after saying that and turned around to leave the office. Mr. Lowe stood on the spot,
looking more and more embarrassed. Meanwhile, at Soul…
Maisie got a call from Hector, and he said he had scared Mr. Lowe.
He then asked, “Zee, how would you know it worked?”
Maisie twirled the pen she was holding, smiled, and said, “If he wants to keep his job, he won’t do
anything before finding out who you really are. If a new guy can get him in trouble-you even have
leverage on him-he can only suffer quietly.”
Hector thought for a while and said, “But I don’t think he will stop here. He doesn’t even respect the
editor.”
“He doesn’t respect him because of his wife.” Maisie picked up a file. “That depends on how clever the
wife is and if she will give you trouble because of her lover. Even if the editor’s wife speaks to you, you
can’t back down either.”
Hector nodded. “Alright, understood.”
Maisie reminded, “Remember, don’t do anything if they don’t offend you. There’s no need for you to be
reasonable if there are unreasonable people. They need a life lesson.” After the call ended, Maisie put
down her phone. She believed that Hector could be even more obnoxious than anyone if he wanted.
Even if a wolf were to be domesticated, it would still be wild. Even though he had toned down a lot, it was
because he had become more mature and controlled.
Because of his arrest, conflict with the Vanderbilts, Madam Vanderbilt’s selfishness, and Cindy’s con,
Hector had learned how cruel reality could be.
If not because of those experiences, he wouldn’t have been able to get back on the right path. Given his
arrogance, he wouldn’t know right from wrong.
Thus, she didn’t let Hector announce that Nolan was family when it came to this. It was also to make
sure that he knew he had to do things with his own effort.
Lucy knocked on the door. “Ms.
Vanderbilt.” She entered with some files in her hands, then smiled and said, “The new designer has
officially started here. Do you want to go take a look?”
Maisie remembered that she had hired Naomi and that this was her first day.
She put down the file she was holding, stood up, and followed Lucy. “Let’s go.”
