Chapter 689



Minna’s cough was violent as she struggled to catch her breath.

Breathing deeply, she realised how precious the air felt.

But no sooner had she caught her breath than Moshe’s hands were around her throat again.

“Uh… Let me go… Help…”

It was then that Minna fully realised what Moshe was doing.

She remembered Macie’s warnings about Moshe’s aggressive nature. Macie had pointed out that Moshe wasn’t only prone to violence, but also had a disturbing penchant for harsh practices in intimate settings.

At this point Marrying Moshe had been a mistake – she should never have agreed to it! Throughout the night, Minna endured being thrown around mercilessly, treated as if she were a mere plaything.

At several points she feared she would die on the spot.

Moshe was a monster!

Minna finally lost consciousness.

The next morning.

In the office of the CEO of the Triumph Consortium.

A mixture of excitement and apprehension filled Verena as she entered Lucas’ office.

“Lucas, you called me here. What’s going on?” asked Verena.

Verena’s voice took on a deliberate sweetness. However, to Lucas, it sounded insincere. His eyes met hers directly, his expression cold as he cut to the chase. “That evening at Happer Restaurant, you made advances on me, attempted to kiss me, and even mimicked the kissing sound. That was all planned, wasn’t it? You knew Belinda was watching us. You orchestrated that scene just to make her misinterpret our interaction!”

Although Lucas maintained a stoic expression, his tone was bitingly cold.

Verena felt a jolt of panic, though she quickly composed herself. Feigning astonishment, she asked, “What? Lucas, are you implying that Ms. Wright was there, witnessed everything, and believed we kissed?”

Lucas narrowed his eyes, a cold spark appearing as he asked, “You weren’t aware of that?”

With a look of feigned innocence, Verena replied, “I had no idea! Why would you think I’d stage such a thing? How could you entertain such thoughts about me? Lucas, this is really hurting my feelings.” Tears started welling up in her eyes as she spoke.

Lucas watched her, his expression unreadable.

Verena sniffled and continued, “Lucas, don’t worry. I’ll seek out Ms. Wright and clarify everything. I’ll ensure she understands the situation clearly.” Verena then began to walk away.
