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 his arm on
Hector’s shoulder. “We both have a hold of each other’s secret, so we’re even now.
Hector was startled. “You were the one who leaked the news?’
Liam scoffed. “It’s all thanks to your sister, Linda.”
Hector grabbed him by his collar and pushed him against the wall. “What do you want from my sister?”
“What do I want with her?” Liam seemed to want to make him angry and smiled. “I want everything. Your
sister is a shameless and cheap woman. She’ll let me do anything to her. Not only do I want to ruin her,
but I also want the Vanderbilts to lose their prestige.”
Hector’s hands tightened until the veins on his hand popped up upon seeing how proud Liam was.
Liam didn’t stop there and triggered him more, “Why? Are you going to beat me up?
Go ahead. If you don’t kill me. I’m going to look down on you for the rest of your life.” Hector’s face was
dark, but he remembered Maisie’s advice for him, including what came to light recently.
He let go of Liam, who stopped looking arrogant because he didn’t get the desired outcome. He wasn’t
happy. “Lost your balls?”
“You want to make me angry so that I beat you up, get fired, and be a joke to everyone,” Hector smiled,
but there was no joy in his eyes. “I’m not going to let that happen.”
Hector turned around and left. Liam was surprised. “You’re just a b*stard! An ex-convict has no place in
this company. Trash to society should just get out of here!” he yelled.
He spat on the floor when he saw that
Hector didn’t even look back.
Linda had said that her brother was easily angered, but how did he manage to control himself?
He underestimated him.
Now that the entire company knew that Hector had served time in prison, they kept talking about it, and
the editor-in-chief soon found out.
He called Hector and asked him about it.
Hector didn’t try to hide it. After recounting his story, Hector slowly said, “I can’t change my past. I
admitted to it, and I’ll hand in my resignation if that’s not good enough.”
There was a difference between being fired and resigning. He would rather hand in his resignation than
fall for Liam’s trap.
The editor-in-chief was silent for a while, pondering.
Hector had already prepared his resignation letter and placed it on his desk, but before he left, he said,
“Thank you for your
guidance, sir. Before I go, I have to tell you something.”
