“It was Grandma and Mom’s fault, but are you really innocent?” Hector’s question made Linda’s pupils shrink, and she held her breath. He continued. “You knew what Grandma and Mom were planning, but you got involved, so you were an accomplice.”Linda took a few steps backward, “I… I’m not.”“No one is absolutely faultless or evil, but there aren’t people who are absolutely innocent either. You chose to join Grandma and Mom in framing Maisie, so don’t make it sound like she was the one who framed you back or like she did you wrong. You reap what you sow.”Hector turned around. “Grandma treated Maisie terribly, yet she let her live in the old mansion, and that’s very generous. We have no right to ask for compensation.”“If you have nowhere else to go, I can help you find a place.” Hector left after he said that. Linda leaned against the wall with her head hung low. She was still unhappy about the outcome. What was the point of feeling sorry for her now? Did they think she was a
Hector suddenly felt shy, but he remembered something. “By the way, the middle-aged woman who was with my sister was the wife of our editor-in-chief.”Maisie frowned, “The one who cheated on with Mr. Lowe?”Hector nodded. She pondered, ‘That means that when Linda and the wife of Hector’s boss were fighting, the man in the room was Mr. Lowe? What kind of relationship does Linda have with him?’Hector looked down, looking upset. “I really wanted to advise my sister, but she wouldn't listen.”Maisie smiled. “It’s fine as long as you advised her. It’s up to her to listen or not. It’s not your fault if she chooses to ignore it because you’ve done your part.”He nodded.When Hector was walking into his apartment, Maisie called out to him, and he turned around. “Is there anything else?”Maisie looked at him. “It’s best to be careful around Mr. Lowe.”Hector paused for a moment, but seeing how serious Maisie looked, he nodded. Two days later, at Soul…Maisie hadn’t been back to th
Maisie’s eyes turned cold. It must have been Linda!…When everyone from the magazine company saw this breaking piece of news, they were all shocked.“Could it be true? Hector went to prison before?”“He sold drugs and got into fights. He was a thug!”“Don’t judge a book by its cover. Did we really wrongly accuse Mr. Lowe about the watch incident?”“It’s possible. He went to prison before, so it wouldn’t be too weird if he really did that.”The colleagues were discussing when Hector showed up at the door, and then they suddenly went quiet. Hector walked to his desk and ignored everything. He left after taking some documents and saw Liam happily walking toward him when he got to the corridor. “Little thug, how could you still show up here?”Hector ignored him and walked past him, but Liam put out his arm to block him. “Weren’t you so arrogant before this? Why are you trying to run away?”“What do you want?” Hector asked in a low voice. Liam touched his nose, smiled, and put
The editor-in-chief was stunned. “What is it?”Hector looked at him and said, “Watch out for Mr. Lowe.”“Liam?” The editor-in-chief was dumbfounded. He seemed rather surprised at Hector's reminder and wondered why he had mentioned that he should be wary of Liam.“What’s wrong with him?” he asked.“Mr. Lowe has his own hidden agenda for working under you. In any case, just keep an eye on him. You'll understand it in the future.”After Hector left the office, the editor-in-chief looked at the resignation letter on his desk and fell silent.He knew the “feud” between Liam and Hector. Liam had been working under him for 10 years, and he was very familiar with his personality.Liam was flighty and impetuous, which was why he had not been promoted for so many years. Hector indeed was better than him, and he had a knack in fashion. He also knew that it was Liam who had framed Hector for stealing the watch out of his jealousy. ‘Hector is not someone who would make something up on purp
Nolan asked him to take his seat. After the editor-in-chief had taken his seat, he parted his mouth and said slowly, “My wife loves the recent beauty magazine published by your company, so she asked me to come and ask who is the editor for the recent issues.”The editor-in-chief froze.The staff beside him replied, “Isn't the editor for the recent issues of the beauty magazine Hec—”Before he could finish his sentence, he realized something and fell silent.Nolan took over the cup of tea that was handed to him and asked. “Were you trying to say Hector?”The editor-in-chief let out an embarrassed smile. “Yeah. The editor for the recent issues of beauty magazines is indeed Hector, but he resigned yesterday…”“Resigned? What happened?” Nolan asked as he sipped on his tea.The editor-in-chief sighed and answered, “Honestly, Hector is good. He's serious in his work, and he's a self-motivated person. Unfortunately, he has been in prison before, and this is a big no. Most of the people
“If you don’t believe me, feel free to check Zen Garden’s surveillance recording. After all, I'm sure you want to know the thing that Hector would rather resign than tell you, right?”After saying everything he wanted to say, Nolan rose to his feet and left.The editor-in-chief was not stupid. He knew that Nolan was there for Hector. Initially, he had just felt it weird when Hector said something like that to him before he left. However, after what Nolan revealed, he shuddered and even felt vaguely that his wife must be hiding something from him.Nolan came out of the fashion magazine company, and Quincy was waiting for him in the car. When he entered the car, Maisie came closer from the back seat and asked, “Do you think the editor-in-chief will go look into it?”Nolan chuckled. “I've already made things very clear for him. If he still didn't get it, then there's nothing I could do about it. He deserves to get cheated on by his wife.”Maisie laughed.It was better to let Nolan i
What's more, Liam would play hard to get with those ladies. He would reject their kindness, making them look at him in a different light and trust him even more. Not only that, but Liam knew how to keep a comfortable distance from them. He portrayed himself as a kind and considerate gentleman, making those rich wives whose husbands were always busy with their careers and couldn't be with them fall even harder for him.When the time came, Liam would accept the goodwill of the rich wives, taking their money for investment to approach those gold-diggers. It was also thanks to the rich wives’ "investment" that he had the ability to rent luxury cars, villas, and apartments easily.After reading through the information, Maisie couldn’t help but exclaim at Liam’s talent in acting. She was confident that he would have been successful if he could put his talent into good use, and it was only now she saw the reason the editor-in-chief’s wife would fall so hard for Liam.She collected all the
Liam was stunned for a moment before he frowned deeply. “He has started to suspect you? How is that possible?”He had kept their relationship so well hidden. Besides, Hector had resigned, and with Linda keeping an eye on him, it was impossible for him to expose him. Suddenly, he thought of something and stubbed the cigarette. He then went forward and grabbed her in his arms from the back. “If he really has started to suspect you, why don’t… Why don’t you divorce him? I promise I’ll give you a better life.”The editor-in-chief’s wife was momentarily stunned for a moment before she laughed and replied, “What are you talking about? If I get a divorce from him right now, I won’t be able to get anything from him. If he finds out that I’m cheating on him, he won’t give me a single cent.”Liam smiled back at her but did not say anything.The editor-in-chief’s wife thought of someone, and her face turned dark. “By the way, you haven’t explained to me what is going on with you and that b*
