Chapter 811



To Verena, Minna was just a tool to be used to its fullest potential.

The next day.

It was lunchtime when Lucas arrived at the hospital to see Belinda.

“What are you doing here?” Belinda asked.

As soon as she saw Lucas, her mind was flooded with scenes of the previous night.

Lucas stared at her and said in a low voice, “There’s been some movement on Minna’s side.”

Belinda’s eyes flickered.

She paused for a moment before asking, “What movement?”

Lucas paused briefly before replying, “Why don’t we grab something together at noon? You can pick a place, and I’ll tell you everything in detail.”

It was probably the only way he could keep her from refusing to share a meal with him.

Belinda’s brows furrowed.

She knew that they couldn’t just discuss matters of Minna here—it would be far too risky. What if someone overheard their conversation?

Left with no choice, she said, “Alright, let’s go to Happer Restaurant.” Lucas’ lips curled into a faint smile.

“Alright. I’ll wait for you to get off work in the car.”

“That won’t be necessary. I’ll head to the restaurant myself.” Belinda then turned and walked back into her office before Lucas could say anything else.

Lucas could only sigh and leave.

At the Happer Restaurant, After settling down in their private room, Belinda got straight to the point. “So, what’s going on with Minna?”

“Last night, she contacted Macie and arranged to meet up at ten tonight.” Lucas didn’t beat around the bush.

This made Belinda’s eyes narrow. “She reached out to Macie this time,” she muttered. “I can’t help but think there’s something off about this situation.”

Lucas nodded. “I agree. We checked the number she used to contact Macie—it was a burner phone, completely untraceable. That kind of phone is hard to get, not to mention expensive. Minna couldn’t have obtained one on her own. Also, the fact that the surveillance footage of her was wiped only shows that whoever is helping her is extremely cautious. The question now is, why would someone that cautious suddenly allow Minna to make contact with the outside world?”

He leaned back in his seat and scoffed. “They should already know that Macie is under surveillance, considering she is Minna’s best friend. Letting Minna reach out to Macie now? They must have another purpose.”

Belinda thought about Lucas’ analysis and took a moment to ponder it herself. “In that case… What do you think their intention is?”

“They are likely testing the waters to see if Macie is under watch,” Lucas said. “Or they have some other suspicions they want to confirm.” Then his tone became firmer. “I’m willing to bet that Minna won’t be showing up at their meeting place tonight.”

Belinda thought for a moment before replying, “Well, just to be safe, you’d better call off your men tailing Macie, at least for tonight. You’re probably right; they might be testing if Macie is a safe contact.”
