Chapter 1161
The editor-in-chief’s wife stared at the documents in her hand, frowned, threw the unopened folder into
the front passenger’s seat, and drove away.
The next day, at the fashion magazine company…
The editor-in-chief had asked someone to track his wife down in order to get hold of her whereabouts.
He would not know anything if he had not done so, but he found out that his wife had been visiting the
Omen Hotel rather frequently nowadays, and each visit would last for hours. He had also asked the
restaurant for their surveillance footage, and sure enough, the woman who had created a stir at the
restaurant was his wife.
He had specifically asked his wife about that yesterday, and his wife had indeed lied to him.
“Garfield, please come in.”
His secretary came in. “Sir, is there anything that requires my assistance?” The editor-in-chief looked
solemn and pondered for a long time before he gave the order. “Help me track down the places that Liam
has gone to in the past few days. And remember, do not let him find out that you’re onto him.”
Garfield was startled for a moment, but he did not ask any further and nodded.” Alright.” The editor-in-
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtchief felt even more agitated after Garfield left. ‘The piece of advice that Hector gave me and the things
that Mr. Goldmann told me, all of them point clearly to the fact that something is going on between my
wife and Liam. Could it be…’
He found Hector’s contact information, thought for a second, and dialed his number.
He asked Hector to meet him at a nearby diner, and Hector agreed to have a meal with him.
Pushing the door into the private room, Hector saw the editor-in-chief sitting inside the room. Thus, he
stepped forward and asked, “Sir, are you looking for me?”
“Take a seat.” The editor-in-chief asked slowly after Hector sat down, “Hector, you told me to be more
aware of Liam on the day you resigned. Do you know something about him that I don’t?”
Hector lowered his head with a look of embarrassment on his face. “Sir, I…”
The editor-in-chief was even more certain about his suspicion. “Don’t worry, this conversation will only be
kept between the both of us.”
Hector pursed his lips. “Sir, Mr. Lowe framed me for stealing the watch because I accidentally found out
about his secret. He tried to give me the watch in order to shut me up, but I didn’t take it.”
The editor-in-chief frowned. “So, he framed you because he was worried that you would reveal his
secret?”
Hector nodded. “I dare not say anything because I really wanted this job. I’m sorry.”
“I know that. That’s why I’ve always had high hopes for you. As for your prison time, is Liam the one who
leaked this? He was forcing you to resign.”
‘Hector knows what Liam is doing, so it’s only natural for Liam not to want to keep him around in the
company. It’s no wonder Liam has always been so vigilant with Hector.’
“No, the resignation was my idea. He didn’t force me to do so,” Hector answered sincerely and did not
take the opportunity to twist the knife.
The editor-in-chief took a deep breath and waited for himself to calm down. “So, what do you have on
him?”
“Actually, I can’t say that I have something on him. I only discovered that Mr. Lowe was using women to
gain profit. He often has affairs with the wives of executives of all sorts of companies around the city and
tries to get benefits from them.” Hector did
not explain everything directly. “I advised you to keep an eye on him only because I was worried that he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmight make you one of his targets one day.”
Hector’s statement verified the editor-in-chief’s suspicions, and his expression dimmed instantly.
Hector received a text message from Maisie on his cell phone. He took a glance at its content and said
to the editor-in-chief, “By the way, I saw Liam today, and as usual, he’s brought two women to the Omen
Hotel.”
The editor-in-chief looked at him and did not utter a single word.
Meanwhile…
Liam was playing tag in the hotel’s swimming pool with two women. He had only met the two women just
recently.
They were gorgeous, young, and hot, and he fell for them almost instantly.
“Mr. Lowe, you’re such a pro at flirting. There must be so many women surrounding you in life, right?”
The woman who was leaning in his arms had an intoxicating smile.
Liam was captivated by her smile. “What’s the use of having loads of women? They’re all middle-aged
women. How can they compare themselves with you?”
The other woman giggled. “Are you saying that rich women love men like you, Mr.
Lowe?”
