Chapter 611

Chapter 611:
Noticing the troubled look on Lucas’ face, Harold narrowed his eyes slightly. “Lucas, do you know Belinda’s favorite vegetable? Her favorite fruit? Or what she dislikes eating the most?”
The barrage of questions hit Lucas like a wave. He opened his mouth to answer but couldn’t form a single word. A dryness settled in his throat; he felt as if an invisible hand were tightening its grip around his neck.
Harold snorted and said, “And you think you can win Belinda back like this? It’s not going to be easy.”
For once, Lucas didn’t argue. Without a word, he turned and went upstairs, his thoughts a mess.
Harold watched him leave in silence.
The next day, in a private room of a café, Verena sat across from Kylee. Her voice was calm, but there was a hint of curiosity. “Why did you want to meet me?”
Kylee’s intense gaze fixed on Verena, and the silence stretched between them. After what felt like an eternity, she finally spoke. “Yesterday… I was caught in a robbery.”
Hearing that, Verena arched an eyebrow. So, Kane’s people had finally made their move.
Feigning surprise, Verena let out a gasp. “A robbery? Are you alright?”
Kylee nodded. “I’m fine. They only took my phone.”

A smile tinged with sarcasm danced on her lips. “When I logged into my cloud drive after that, I found everything wiped clean. Isn’t that interesting?”
Verena’s eyes widened in feigned shock. “Really? How could that even happen?”
Kylee tilted her head, her smile turning cold. “You tell me. Don’t you already know why that happened?”
Verena shrugged innocently. “How could I? Why would I know anything about it?”
Kylee said, “Funny, isn’t it? That cloud drive held your video. And now, with everything gone, it seems your little problem has vanished too.”
Feigning shock, Verena pressed a hand to her mouth. “Gone? My goodness, that’s fantastic news!”
“Verena, drop the act!” Kylee snapped, her voice sharp. “Don’t think I don’t know. You were behind the robbery. You asked people to wipe the cloud drive!”
With the truth now out in the open, Verena saw no need for pretense. She smiled. “Ms. Wright, I just don’t appreciate being blackmailed.”
After a pause, she continued, “But don’t worry. Our partnership still stands. Two heads are better than one, right? With our shared goal, we should still cooperate.”
Kylee’s expression remained unchanged. “Do you actually mean that?”
