I am taking my chances with her.
Hilda is pressuring hard. If I don't act now, Frances might be in danger.
If Linda believes me, we will share a common enemy.
She won't let Hilda off, right?
I can't tackle Hilda alone, so I need allies.
I wanted to team up with Terence and start again, but he died trying to save Hilda.
Now, I can only count on Linda.
I hope this is the right call.
"To be honest, I am surprised Hilda takes over Terence's gang."
Linda is having a hard time digesting the news.
I should give credit to Hilda for the good job in keeping it a secret.
Even her close friend in the United States, who is also a member of the underworld, doesn't know her true identity.
"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."
I continue to fan the flames of hatred in her, so that she will want Hilda dead as much as I do.
"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."
Linda's words rekindle my hope.
