No one had informed him that Dane had replaced it with a new one.
Hector stood frozen, the reality of the situation sinking in.
Since a new seal existed, the old one was no longer valid.
In short, the contract he had so carefully manipulated had no legal weight, nullifying his entire plan.
So, what had they been doing these past two days?
They were nothing but a joke.
Hector’s mind was a mess.
“That’s impossible! If the seal is really invalid, why were you so anxious today? And why didn’t you expose it from the start? You must be deceiving us!” Hector said with certainty.
How could such an important matter as changing the seal escape his notice?
This realization hit him hard.
It was a glaring mistake that could cost him everything.
Dane couldn’t have foreseen this, right? How could he have changed the seal in advance? And the timing was so perfect.
Was it just a coincidence?
“Because I wanted to see if you would regret it.
But I didn’t expect you to disregard your father’s health just to seize the company,” Dane said in an exceptionally cold tone, the disappointment in his eyes growing stronger.
“You’ll have to face the consequences of your actions.”
Hector felt a chill enveloping him, making him uncontrollably shiver.
All along, he thought he was in control of everything.
He never expected he had fallen into Dane’s trap.
After this matter was exposed, he would be kicked out of the Patton Group.
What was worse, he might spend the rest of his life in jail.
“You… I can’t believe you both conspired against me.
Humph! This isn’t over yet.
I swear I won’t let you go!” Colson’s sharp sneer echoed in the room.
Then, he rose to leave.
But before he could even take one step, Dane’s voice stopped him.
“I believe you know the truth better than I do.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.
But I didn’t expect the Patton Group to be so chaotic internally,” Colson countered with feigned seriousness.
Although his plan had failed, he didn’t intend to give in so easily.
He believed exposing this matter could indelibly impact the Patton Group’s reputation and erode public trust.
After all, Hector was the company’s second-in-command.
And a company with such internal conflicts would surely lose the public’s trust.
Finally, Colson left the room, leaving only Hector and Dane behind.
Dane poured himself a cup of coffee from the coffee pot on the table.
Hector stood frozen, his eyes fixed on Dane, and his thoughts churned violently.
His mind had never been this chaotic.
For twenty years, he had thought he had total control of everything.
He had always been the puppet master, pulling the strings behind the scenes.
He never expected to be the one being played.
Now, he had no choice but to confront the harsh reality that everything in life came full circle.
Every action had consequences.
Countless strategies flashed through his mind, each more desperate than the last.
But still, he couldn’t find a way out of this web of consequences.
The evidence in Dane’s hand had cornered him.
He looked at Dane with red eyes and said in a low voice, “This has been your plan all along.
You knew what I was going to do from the start.”
Dane didn’t say anything.
He took a sip of his coffee and set the cup down with deliberate slowness, the sound of porcelain touching the table echoing in the tense silence.
Hector continued, “How did you find out? Did Isabella tell you?”
This time, Dane broke his silence.
He said indifferently, “Even without her, I had already noticed your odd behavior.
Did you really think I wouldn’t catch you bribing my secretary to spike my coffee?”
He had known all along but chose not to reveal it.
In this way, Hector would continue to think he maintained control of the situation.
Besides, if he wanted to catch someone, he would make sure they could never escape.
And now, Hector had no way out.
Hector asked, “What do you want to do? Do you want to kick me out of the company?”
Dane shook his head.
“It won’t be that simple.
What you’ve done is enough to put you in jail for a few years.”
Hector’s face remained expressionless, but his fists clenched tightly, blue veins bulging on the backs of his hands.
No way! He wouldn’t allow himself to go to jail.
He knew very well what Dane was capable of.
And his last trump card, Global Entertainment, had already been exposed.
