Chapter 1096



But… it turned out Belinda wasn’t infected.

Why was fate so cruel to her?

Belinda’s previous test results had been tampered with.

She wasn’t infected. She was perfectly fine.

Kylee felt overwhelmed with emotions. How was she supposed to accept this cruel twist of fate?

Why was she the only one condemned to such an irreversible fate?

At that thought, Kylee’s tears poured down even more freely.

“You’ve gone silent. Why aren’t you saying anything?” Verena’s voice suddenly pierced through the heavy silence from the other end of the call, her tone laced with curiosity.

Kylee sniffled, swallowing the lump in her throat. “Do you have any idea who tampered with Belinda’s test results?”

A flicker of something unreadable crossed Verena’s eyes. A brief pause followed before she responded, “No clue.”

Kylee didn’t question Verena, but she felt the situation was odd. “That’s strange,” she muttered, furrowing her brows. “Besides us, who else would have had a reason to alter Belinda’s results? What could they possibly gain from this? Could it be… Belinda has other enemies?”

A low, mocking laugh echoed through the phone. “Someone like Belinda? Isn’t it expected that she would?” Verena’s voice dripped with disdain.

Kylee’s lips curled into a sneer, her earlier grief momentarily overshadowed by scorn. “You’re right!”

Their conversation didn’t last much longer before Kylee ended the call. But as soon as the screen went dark, the weight of reality came crashing down on her again.

“Ah!” A sharp, guttural scream tore from her throat.

It wasn’t just a cry—it was a desperate attempt to purge the unbearable torment that was eating her alive from the inside out.

Her entire body ached. Her soul felt shattered. Not only had she been diagnosed with HIV, but now, she had also learned that Belinda was not infected. Belinda was fine!

The cruel irony of it all was suffocating.

But Kylee wasn’t the type to wallow in despair for long. She soon wiped her tears and sat up straighter, her expression darkening with determination. “No,” she thought. “I will never let Belinda off the hook! I need to ruin her life!”

And as for Verena…

If Verena was truly the mastermind behind her abduction and assault, then she would make sure Verena suffered a fate far worse than death itself.

A sinister glint flashed in Kylee’s bloodshot eyes.

Meanwhile, after ending the call with Kylee, Verena wasted no time dialing Kane’s number.

The line barely rang before a deep, composed voice answered the call. “Hello?”

“Kane, be honest with me,” Verena’s tone was sharp, accusatory. “Were you the one who tampered with Belinda’s test results?”

Kane hesitated for a fraction of a second before responding, “How do you know they were tampered with?”

At that, Verena had all the confirmation she needed.

Her grip on the phone tightened.
