Chapter 1025: "Got it," he said.
Meanwhile, Brenna watched the scene unfold from inside her own car. She saw the bodyguards escorting Gracie to a waiting vehicle. Only when she saw Hector finally emerge from the building did she tell her driver to leave.
Hector soon slid into his car.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGracie sat in the back seat, her hair a tangled mess and her eyes blazing with anger. "You've trackedhere?" Despite Gracie's tough front, fear gnawed at her. She wondered if Hector already knew she was behind the botched assassination attempt earlier that day.
"Did you really believe hiding here would keep you safe?" Hector's voice turned harsh as he leaned in, gripping her chin firmly. "You sent people to kill me, Gracie. I didn't expect that from you." His anger boiled over. He yanked her hair back with one hand and struck her hard with the other, leaving her lip bleeding.
All the anger drained from Gracie's face, replaced by terror. She had spent two days hiding in her office in the Mitchell Group building, hoping the assassins she had hired could kill Hector. But she had failed.
Hopelessness set in. "What will it take for you to letgo? You already control everything my family owns. Isn't that enough for you?" she said.
Hector let out a cold laugh. "You wantto let you go? My aunt once loved your father with her whole heart, and how did he repay her? He took her kidney, her liver, even her heart and eyes, using her as nothing more than a science project. My aunt's body is still lying in that institute. You and your father have suffered so little compared to what you deserve, and you already want mercy? This is just the beginning. Don't think for a second I'll let you off easily." Gracie muttered, "I don't care about anything anymore. Take my family's fortune. Take it all. I'm begging you, just letgo..." Hector hit her again, several blows landing across her face, and her head hit the window. A bruise began to form above her eyebrow.
Just then, her phone rang with Ethan's nlighting up the screen. Tears streamed down her cheeks. Ethan was still away on business, and even if he set off to cback now, he wouldn't be able to save her.
Hector's hand twisted tightly in Gracie's hair, yanking her head up so her eyes were locked on the laptop's screen.
Displayed in chilling real-time, the video showed an elderly man, his hair streaked with gray, motionless on the operating table, as a masked surgeon methodically cut into his body to extract organs.
Frozen in terror, Gracie stared wide-eyed, her scream splitting the air. "No!" The elderly man having his organs removed was her father.
"Please, don't hurt him! Don't take his organs. I'll give you anything! I swear I'll never cross you she pleaded, voice raw with you," in. I'm begging n emotion. Panic dropped her to her knees at Hector's feet. "Take the Wilson Group! Take it all. Just spare my father and me..."
With a flick of his wrist, Hector let her hair go, his face darkening. "You think this is all about money? I couldn't care less about your company or your assets. This is vengeance-your father made my aunt suffer, and now, he'll suffer the sfate. I want every organ he owns, preserved as specimens."
"Don't do this. I'm begging you..." Gracie said, desperation breaking her voice. Just then a document was handed to Hector by a guard, which he then tossed at Gracie's knees.
"Sign it, and you'll be free."
