Chapter 526

"Are you seriously not lying to me?" Hector narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Daniel.

"I swear I'm not!" Daniel insisted, sounding completely certain. "Come on, Hector, we've known each other for years. When have I ever lied to you?"

Daniel might have a reputation for being a bit of a flirt and never really settling down, but lying just wasn't in his nature.

Hector shot Daniel a look. "Then it must be Rebecca who's lying to you! Daniel, you're not getting any younger, man. You can't just keep falling head over heels for every pretty face that comes your way. Look at her-she's so jittery she doesn't even dare touch the car, and you honestly think she can race? Wake up, buddy! Don't let her fool you!"

Honestly, Hector had a point.

But Daniel wasn't listening at all. Not right now.

He grabbed Hector's arm, desperate. "No, you've got it wrong! Rebecca hasn't lied to you, not once! If anyone's lying, it's Sherman!”

Rebecca was far too kindhearted to deceive anyone. She just wasn't the type.

Hector turned his gaze to Rebecca, his tone blunt and unfiltered. "Look, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but that woman? She doesn't seem genuine to me. She's got that whole innocent act going, all wide-eyed and trembling, pretending she doesn't know a thing about racing. Frankly, it makes me sick."

He and Daniel were opposites in this regard.

Daniel always had a soft spot for damsels in distress. Hector? Not so much.
