Chapter 814



Minna’s face drained of color the moment her eyes landed on the message before her. It was a simple text, yet its implications were damning. Macie had written: “Mr. Haywood, Minna just reached out to me. She wants to meet at Fallden Bridge tomorrow night at ten.”

Gordon had replied: “Understood. I’ll notify Mr. Clark immediately. Await further instructions.”

Macie had responded simply: “Okay.”

Minna’s hands trembled slightly as she gripped the paper, her mind racing.

Verena, with an air of casual confidence, spoke in a measured tone.

“This is a record of the text exchange between Macie and Gordon. Look closely at the timestamps. You’ll see it was sent only moments after your message to Macie. Macie wasted no time betraying you, Minna.”

“This is impossible…” Minna muttered, shaking her head as though she were trying to reject the truth. Skepticism was etched on her face.

After a long silence, she asked, “If that’s true, then why wasn’t anyone tailing Macie tonight? Mr. Clark has been sending people to track me. How could he let such a rare opportunity slip through his fingers?”

Verena studied the situation carefully.

She glanced at Minna with a gaze that demanded attention.

“In any case, the proof is right here. Whether you choose to believe it is up to you.”

Minna suddenly went silent.

After a long pause, she leaned back into the sofa, composed yet resolute.

“Actually, I understand why you’re telling me all this. You want me to fight fiercely against Belinda because you’re afraid I might hesitate halfway through.”

Verena blinked, caught off guard by Minna’s sharp insight. She had thought Minna was naive, but her clarity of thought was undeniable now.

“Don’t worry,” Minna declared.

“I will fight against Belinda fiercely, no matter what.”

Her demeanor gradually shifted into something malevolent as she spoke; her eyes were filled with animosity and determination.

With that, she turned to Verena, her gaze firm with conviction.

“Miss Reed, you have my word! If… if I truly get apprehended, I will never expose you. You supported me during my most difficult time, and I will always remember your kindness. Furthermore, we share the same enemy. If I fail in my quest to take down Belinda, I will rely on you to finish what I started. So rest assured—no matter what happens from here on out, I will never reveal what you’ve done to help me.”

Upon hearing Minna’s heartfelt declaration, Verena smiled with relief and joy.

“Minna, you’re a friend worth having! I promise you this—if your plan falls apart and you end up in trouble, I will make sure Belinda pays for everything. And as for Macie, the one who betrayed you—tell me how you want to handle her. I’ll make it happen.”

Verena meant every word she said. To her, Minna was a far more capable ally than someone like Kylee.

“Thank you!” Minna nodded sincerely at Verena, gratitude shining in her eyes.
