NovelReadingChapter 1236: As for settling the score with Verena—her kidnapping, the humiliating photos, the assault-she would handle that on her own terms.
With a sharp sneer, Kylee said, "Don't try to shift the blame, Belinda. You're the one who hadkidnapped!" Seeing Kylee's stubborn denial, Belinda decided further words were pointless. “I've said my piece. Whether you accept it or not, that's your call." With that, she grabbed her purse, rose from her seat, and left. Kylee's face stiffened. She was caught off guard by Belinda's sudden exit.

As Belinda entered the room, Lucas greeted her with a faint smile.
"Did you uncover the truth you were searching for?" he inquired.
Belinda sank onto the couch, her frustration evident. "Don't even getstarted! Kylee remains steadfast in her denial-she insists she had no alliance with Verena. I even brought up her past abduction, hinting that Verena might be involved. But instead of considering the possibility, she just looked atas if I were delusional, accusingof being behind the entire ordeal. At that point, I realized there was no reasoning with her, so I left rather than waste more of my ton her." Lucas rose from his chair, slipping a hand nonchalantly into his pocket as he walked toward her. "There are two possibilities," he said. "Either Kylee and Verena truly have no ties, or they are indeed conspiring, but for sunknown reason, Kylee is compelled to keep it a secret." Belinda pressed her lips together, her gaze unwavering. “I'm still convinced it's the latter." Lucas remained silent, his brows knitting together as he fell into contemplation.
After a while, he said, “I still haven't uncovered anything substantial about the person backing Minna. My team has scrutinized Verena from every angle, yet they've turned up nothing suspicious. This leads us to two conclusions-either Minna has no connection to Verena, or there's a far more formidable figure lurking behind Verena. And whoever that person is... they should not be taken lightly." Lucas' gaze darkened as he spoke, his voice tinged with gravity. Belinda turned toward him, her expression serious. "Lucas, what's your take on all this?" Lucas' lips pressed into a firm line for a moment before he responded, "Initially, Verena seemed like the obvious culprit, but we couldn't gather solid proof against her. That's why we started exploring other avenues. However, given recent events, my suspicions about Verena have only intensified. At the very least, she remains a prsuspect." Belinda was about to reply when a knock at the office door interrupted her.
"Cin," Lucas said.
