Chapter 345

Chapter 345:
“As for the things you hope to happen, I can only wish you the best.”
Without waiting for a response, Belinda turned and walked away.
“Belinda! Belinda, stop right there!” Baker shouted angrily as he watched Belinda walk away.
Belinda didn’t hesitate for even a second. She marched straight out of the room.
As she recalled Baker’s words, she only felt that he was absurd. Since he was so sure the Thomas family would show their support to Kylee, she would just wait and see what would happen at the banquet.
In the afternoon, in a private room at a café.
“Ms. Williamson, I’m curious—why did you want to meet with me?” Kylee asked, her eyes fixed on Minna, who sat across from her.
Minna smiled, reached into her bag, and slid an elegant jewelry box across the table toward Kylee.
Kylee’s eyebrows shot up slightly as she saw the jewelry box in front of her. She turned to look at Minna and asked, “What’s this about, Ms. Williamson?”
“It’s a gift for you, Ms. Wright,” Minna said. She paused for a moment before adding, “I’d like us to be friends.”
Kylee was a bit surprised. “Is this because of the Thomas family?”
She wasn’t naive. She knew that Minna suddenly giving her a gift meant that Minna wanted something from her.

Minna didn’t deny it. She nodded and said, “That’s one reason. The other is… We have a common enemy. So, how about we cooperate with each other?”
Kylee frowned, her confusion evident as she looked at Minna. “I’m not sure I understand what you mean, Ms. Williamson.”
Minna replied bluntly, “Naturally, I am talking about Belinda.”
Kylee let out a soft laugh. “Ms. Williamson, I believe you’re mistaken. Belinda is my sister. How could I possibly hold any ill will towards her?”
“Sister?” Minna sneered, her expression turning mocking as she stared at Kylee. “A mistress’s daughter, an illegitimate child… Do you truly consider someone like that your sister?”
Kylee’s gaze momentarily shifted, but she just smiled. “Belinda’s birth circumstances aren’t her fault. She shouldn’t be blamed for that.”
Minna inwardly scoffed, seeing Kylee as nothing but a hypocrite. She chuckled softly. “Is that so? If you truly believe that, then why did you publicly state at my party that Belinda is your family’s illegitimate child? And why mention that she once stole your necklace? Ms. Wright, your actions toward Belinda hardly reflect the behavior of someone treating their sister well.”
Kylee’s face changed just a little, and she bit her lip for a moment. Then, she explained, “I only spoke up because I heard Belinda was being accused of stealing. I was concerned that, in a moment of temptation, she might have made the wrong decision, so I wanted to guide her. The necklace incident was just a mistake on my part. I apologized afterward, and Belinda forgave me.”
Minna didn’t believe a single word Kylee had just said. She replied casually, “No need for pretenses with me, Ms. Wright. Don’t worry; I won’t tell anyone about this.”
