Chapter 574
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 574<\/p>\n
I am taking my chances with her.<\/p>\n
Hilda is pressuring hard. If I don’t act now, Frances might be in danger.<\/p>\n
If Linda believes me, we will share a common enemy.<\/p>\n
She won’t let Hilda off, right?<\/p>\n
I can’t tackle Hilda alone, so I need allies.<\/p>\n
I wanted to team up with Terence and start again, but he died trying to save Hilda.<\/p>\n
Now, I can only count on Linda.<\/p>\n
I hope this is the right call.<\/p>\n
“To be honest, I am surprised Hilda takes over Terence’s gang.”<\/p>\n
Linda is having a hard time digesting the news.<\/p>\n
I should give credit to Hilda for the good job in keeping it a secret.<\/p>\n
Even her close friend in the United States, who is also a member of the underworld, doesn’t know her true identity.<\/p>\n
“So, it’s not strange she can pull off a few things. Hilda has taken so much from me, including the man I love the most, so I hate her. Jack was innocent and died at her hands. I don’t know if you hate her even more than me. We have to destroy everything she has to take her down for good.”<\/p>\n
I continue to fan the flames of hatred in her, so that she will want Hilda dead as much as I do.<\/p>\n
“Our gang is working with Hilda’s gang in some way. I even have men over there. Therefore, I think this might not be hard for me.”<\/p>\n
Linda’s words rekindle my hope.<\/p>\n
Or rather, I have to trust her.<\/p>\n
After all, I have told her everything.<\/p>\n
I have no choice but to take her word for it.<\/p>\n
I bite my lip and ask her in a whisper, “Then, Jack’s murder…”<\/p>\n
“I believe you did not do it, but I will not cancel the lawsuit. Otherwise, Hilda will be suspicious. You can have your lawyer argue that it was unjustifiable self-defense. Jack’s body has been cremated. I’ll get the police to say Jack had a heart attack. That way, his cause of death will be that. You will be guilty of disposing of his body. If you make your case and have a good attitude, you will be repatriated. Then you should be given a probation of about two years. It won’t affect you at all.”<\/p>\n
I am shocked by her thoughtful plan.<\/p>\n
“How do you know so well?”<\/p>\n
“I used to be a lawyer, but now I’m the leader of a gang. Isn’t it hilarious? However, because of my experience in the job, I know how to avoid crossing the line. But Hilda is different. I know that her gang has been taking risks doing the most dangerous things for money, and that makes it easier for us to get her.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-598","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
