Chapter 573: She Can Gain a Lot

After she leaves, I feel much more relaxed.

Linda couldn't seem to make her own judgement while Hilda was here.

Besides, there is another reason why I want to see Linda.

Before I came here, Mindy told me Linda and Hilda became friends because Linda worked for Terence.

Moreover, she is high up in the company.

After Terence died, she started her own business.

Now she is quite powerful.

If she knows what Hilda is capable of, she might be my valuable ally in taking Hilda out.

The lawyer shouldn't hear what I am going to say, so I smile gratefully at him and say, "Thank you for
coming with me. I think Linda and I can understand each other well, so I won't waste your precious time
further."

The lawyer probably has other things to do, so he nods and leaves.

Linda looks at me sullenly, her eyes dripping with hatred.

I sensed she wanted to kill me when she barged in my house yesterday. Now I know for sure I am right
about that.

"What else do you have to say? Do you really want me to shoot you there?"

As she speaks, she smiles faintly and points at my chest.

I am scared, but I take a deep breath and sit down beside her.



"Do you know how things are between your friend Hilda and me?"

"What is there between you and her? I was wondering why you knew her," she says indifferently.

From the looks of it, she doesn't know a thing about the bad blood between Hilda and me.

It seems this is worth a shot.

"Hilda's husband and I used to be married," I say seriously and stare into her eyes.

"You mean Frances?" she asks.

I nod without saying anything.

Next, I tell her everything that has happened between the three of us without the important details.

Of course, I don't mention anything about how Frances married Hilda with ulterior motives.

How can I risk that before I know which side she is on?

"In a nutshell, Hilda set me up, and that was why Frances divorced me. She is in charge of Terence's
old gang now. She hates me so much that she wants to kill me. Your husband never wronged me, so I
have no reason to kill him. He just slept in my house for a few days. He should have woken up
yesterday, but that terrible thing happened. I'm really sorry, but I can assure you I didn't do it."

Linda's lips tremble slightly.

She appears to be smothering her emotions.

After a while, she grits her teeth and says to me, "You mean Hilda killed Jack?"

Her eyes are still brimming with disbelief.



But I can tell from her tone that she believes me now.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be clenching her fists.

I think she hates Hilda as much as she loves Jack.

"That's all I have to say. You can choose not to believe me. Or you can try to this once. Killing Jack
doesn't benefit me in the slightest. You can have that drug tested. It can't kill a human being. However,
Hilda can gain a lot by killing him. I hope you can figure out why."

I don't make it clear, but I think she understands.

"Alright, I believe you. But I doubt this is the only reason you came to me." Linda is smart and sees me
right through.

Taking a deep breath, I tell her the other purpose.

"Yes, you are right. I am here to ask you to help me find evidence of Hilda's crime."
