Jordan and Hayes both agreed with Hector’s words.
Sebastian turned around immediately and glared at Hector. “Hector Combe, have you gone mad? How can you speak for them at a time like this?!” He asked in infuriation.
“Uncle, that was basic reasoning. I’m not taking sides here,” Hector said calmly.
Sebastian gritted his teeth and tried his best to suppress his anger. “In that case, lend me a few million dollars for this emergency,” he said.

He could not believe that Hector was bold enough to team up with an outsider just to go against him.

The caller was a close associate of his from the company. Without thinking much, Sebastian picked up the call.
However, the oddest thing was that the debts he owed the private loan companies had not yet expired. Why were they collecting the debts now?
“I don’t know. They are disregarding the interest and demanding us to repay the principal right now. Since we couldn’t find you, they went to the supermarket to spread the news.”
