Chapter 1153
“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.”

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 beggar to whom they could
donate?
She was going to leave when a man appeared behind her and hugged her. “I didn’t know that Hector
was your brother.”
Linda was surprised, but she turned away when she saw that it was Liam. “You didn’t even come to help
me when you saw that old hag beat me up. Now that she’s gone, you suddenly showed up.
Liam turned her face. “I wouldn’t dare jump in. My future is in her hands. Do you think I’d get involved
with an old woman if not because I want to be promoted? You on the other hand… Hector is your
brother?”
Linda was curious. “You know him?”
Liam’s face turned dark when she mentioned Hector, and he grabbed her chin. “I do know him. We work
in the same company. This wild child learned of my affair with that old woman and is walking over me for
that. I’ve had a bone to pick with him since a long time ago, but I didn’t know that he was your brother
who went to prison.”
Linda was surprised. ‘Doesn’t he work at Maisie’s company? Why would he suddenly work at a fashion
company and even know Liam?’
“I thought that kid knew someone because he was quite arrogant. Turns out he was just a convict.”
Liam let go of her, took a cigarette out of its packet, and lit it up. “I see that you don’t have a good
relationship with your brother. Do you want to work together to take him down?”
“Take him down?” Linda’s face turned pale. Even though she hated the Vanderbilts, Hector was her
brother.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Why hesitate?” Liam raised her chin.” Don’t forget that we’re on the same boat. If the issue about that
old woman and me is exposed because of your brother, it won’t benefit us in any way. That old woman is
smitten with me and will listen to everything I say. I trust that her husband’s assets will soon be mine.”
He then hugged her by her shoulders. “And when that happens, I’ll have a luxurious life, and I won’t
forget you.”
Linda still hadn’t had a good job and nowhere to call home. Since Liam promised that he would elope
with her once he got the assets of the old woman’s husband, she finally complied.
“Alright, leave him to me.”
A cunning look flashed across Liam’s face when Linda agreed.
Hector got back to the apartment and saw Maisie waiting for him in a car. He walked to her and lowered
his head. “1 met my sister, Maisie.” “I know,” Maisie rubbed the top of his head,
“You’ve done well.”
