Chapter 539



Verena had then dramatically stumbled backward on her own.

Belinda, startled, had tried to catch her, but it had been too late — Verena had already fallen down the stairs.

This video unequivocally proved Belinda’s innocence.

Verena herself had fallen down the stairs and framed Belinda for it.

Verena stared at Kylee, her lashes fluttering. “What do you want?” she asked.

Kylee smiled. “Haven’t I already said it? I want to team up with you, Miss Reed.”

Of course, she intended to be the one in control of their collaboration.

“Fine! I agree!” Verena said, each word through gritted teeth.

Kylee’s smile widened. “Excellent! Collaborating with me won’t put you at a disadvantage, Miss Reed. Don’t worry; I won’t expose the video.

After all, revealing it wouldn’t benefit me, either.”

She extended her hand to Verena. “To a successful partnership!”

After a brief hesitation, Verena shook Kylee’s hand.

Releasing Verena’s hand, Kylee stood up. “Get well soon. I’ll contact you once I’ve formulated a plan.”

Without waiting for a response, she turned and left the room.

Verena’s expression darkened.

She believed that video could not exist.

She had to find a way to get her hands on it and destroy it.

That afternoon, a video began circulating within high society.

It showed Holley visiting Belinda and captured everything Holley had said.

The video spread rapidly, shared and viewed countless times.

Soon, everyone in the social circle knew about it.

As the workday ended, Belinda received a call from Mollie.

“Hello, Mollie,” Belinda said.

“Belinda! What’s going on? Something this huge happened, and you didn’t even tell us!” Mollie’s tone was a mix of anger and worry.

Belinda’s eyes flickered. “You… You know about it too?”

“Someone recorded what your mother said to you at the hospital, and now, it’s all over our social circle,” Mollie replied.

Belinda’s face paled.

Her throat tightened, rendering her speechless for a moment.

She felt utterly helpless now.

“Come home tonight,” Mollie said softly, her voice tinged with worry. “We’re all really concerned about you.”

Belinda nodded, pressing her lips together. “Okay.”

After work, Belinda drove to the Thomas family’s residence.
