Chapter 1200

In all honesty, Ryan was feeling uneasy and wanted to pull out of the whole scheme.

“Absolutely not!” Verena shot him down firmly.

Her expression was cold as she declared, “Lucas is mine! He will always be mine! I will remove every obstacle that stands in our way.” There was something else she chose not to say out loud: she was willing to destroy the obstacles if they couldn’t be removed.

She was prepared to eliminate Belinda for good.

Truth be told, she had long since realized that there was nothing she could do to break Lucas and Belinda apart.

She knew Ryan had a point, which meant there was only one option left for her—Belinda must die.

Otherwise, she would never be able to claim her rightful place beside Lucas.

With that thought in mind, Verena said, “Stop trying to talk me out of this, Ryan.”

Ryan sighed in resignation. “Fine. Do as you wish.”

Verena leaned back in her seat, her tone as serious as ever. “I just need more allies now. I have no idea what’s going on with Kylee, but she’s becoming harder to control. She isn’t listening to me anymore. I can’t work with her anymore. I need to find someone else.”

She wasn’t about to get her hands dirty unless it was absolutely necessary.

The risks were simply too high.

Ryan’s brows furrowed slightly. “I might have someone in mind.”

Verena’s eyes instantly lit up. “Who?”

Ryan said, “Belinda has a sister named Sarai—not by blood, though. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of her. She was brought up by Belinda’s grandmother and raised right alongside her.”

Verena furrowed her brow. “If they were raised together, why would Sarai choose to conspire with me against Belinda?”

Ryan pressed his lips into a thin line for a moment, and his voice lowered. “I don’t have all the specifics. Vincent dropped a hint once; he mentioned Belinda was responsible for getting Sarai banished from Owathe. When I pressed him for details, he became cagey. All he revealed was that the matter was somehow connected to Lucas.”

After a short pause, Ryan continued, “Since Lucas is involved, it must be something personal. My guess is Sarai had feelings for Lucas and made a move on him. Belinda probably found out, became furious, and expelled her from Owathe.”

He turned to Verena, his expression becoming serious. “If you’re looking for an ally, Sarai might be your best bet.”

Verena’s eyes sparkled with interest as she considered Ryan’s words. If his information was accurate, Sarai could indeed be valuable.

Yet, the idea of so many women pursuing Lucas irritated her. They were shameless, and Verena despised them for it.
