Chapter 1159

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 documents and put them back into the folder. Since Liam acted like an *ss and
bullied Hector, she needed to teach him a lesson.

Hector was still sleeping when his phone rang. He picked it up and realized it was Linda.

He answered the call and told her where he was living. About 20 minutes later, Linda dropped by his
house.

She walked into his house and scanned around. Then, she scofled coldly and said,” Hah, it seems like
Maisie has found you a nice place to stay.”

Hector stood behind the door, turned around to look at her, and asked, “What do you want?’:

She did not answer his question but walked to the couch and sat down. She pulled out a packet of
cigarettes, took one out, and lit it. As she took a drag from the cigarette, she said, “I heard that you were



fired?”

Hector closed the door and went to pull a jar of juice out of the refrigerator. “What is the relationship
between you and Liam?”

“It’s none of your business,” Linda replied as she flicked the ash on the floor. “It isn’t a big deal at all,
even if you get fired. After all , you still have Maisie to help you. She will help you to land a better job,
right?” Her future was dependent on Liam, so she did not think it was a big deal that Hector had gotten
fired. He did not have to worry about anything since he still had Maisie to help him.



Hector looked at her with a serious expression and asked, “Do you really think Liam is serious about
your relationship?”

“Even so, he’s a lot better than Jimmy.” Linda threw the cigarette end on the floor.” I came to tell you that
you’d better keep your mouth shut about the things between Liam and that old woman.”

She rose to her feet and added in a threatening manner, “If you dare to stand in my way, then don’t
blame me for whatever I may do to you.”

Hector lowered his head and said, “Sis, is this really what you want?”

“Yes. This is what I want, and I will do everything I can to get it.” Linda took her purse and walked to the
door. “It’s all thanks to you people that I’m here today. Stop trying to talk me out of it. I won’t be nice to
anyone who gets in my way.”

:

She opened the door, and just when she was about to leave, Hector’s voice rang out behind him. “Then I
hope you won’t regret it.” Linda scoffed and left without turning her head back. Seeing that her figure was



getting smaller and smaller in his vision, Hector lowered his head.

His mother and grandmother may be at fault, but he was at fault as well.

If he hadn’t taken his sister’s care for him for granted because of his grandmother’s indulgence, if he had
said a fair word for her when her grandmother and mother treated her badly, things might have become
different today.

The vibration of his phone snapped him out of his thoughts. When he saw the message from Maisie, he
clicked on it and checked

it.

In the afternoon, at the Omen Hotel…

Liam was sitting on the bed bare-chested, taking drags from the cigarette. When he saw the editor-in-
chief’s wife come out of the shower and change her clothes, he shook off the ashes and asked, “Babe,
you’re leaving so soon?”

“I have to go back early today,” she said, her voice filled with rage. “I don’t know what has gotten into my
husband’s head. He has started to suspect me.”
