NovelEnglishChapter 318:
Macie proceeded to share all the details she had learned about what had happened to Ryan, Kylee, and the
people they associated with.
Once Minna absorbed it all, her features grew even more grim. She locked eyes with Macie, demanding sternly,
“Why didn’t you tellabout this before?”
Macie responded innocently, “I...”
“I didn’t truly believe any of it before, so why would | mention it to you? Besides, | did warn you that Santino
values Belinda, but you did not takeseriously.”
“You!” Minna’s voice carried a mix of anger and panic.
The Thomas family had already begun their maneuver against the Sampson family. Was her own family the next

the Thomas family, but the Williamson family was among the major eight families. They wouldn't be easily
targeted.
Besides, would the Thomas family really risk a feud with the Williamson family just over a friend?
These considerations helped Minna regain her composure. She turned to Macie and said, “Look, Macie, it's
useless to dwell on this now. Considering the Thomas family has already struck at your family once, it’s unlikely
they'll strike the starget again. So, try not to worry too much.”
Macie, however, felt dissatisfied with Minna’s reassurances. It was all well and good for Minna to say such things
—she hadn't experienced the Thomas family’s wrath firsthand. Minna seemed oblivious to the real consequences
since she wasn’t the one directly affected by the matter.
Minna didn’t even consider that she had offended Belinda and the Thomas family for her. And now, after her
family had suffered retaliation, there wasn’t even any compensation.

Though these thoughts brewed inside Macie, she masked her discontent. After all, her family still depended on
the Williamson family.
Minna offered scareless words of comfort and then dismissed Macie.
The way things had developed had indeed taken Minna by surprise. She had never anticipated the necklace
given by her passionate suitor would be fake.
Despite losing this initial clash with Belinda, she was not ready to concede defeat. The grudge between her and
Belinda was now set in stone.
“Let's see who will laugh till the end!” she muttered under her breath.
At noon, Minna’s father returned home.

“Dad, you're home!” Minna greeted him cheerfully.
“Do you know how much trouble you've caused me?” Rhys rebuked her sharply.
Minna responded with innocent eyes and a touch of hurt. “What did | do wrong?”
“Our company’s project was hijacked by the Thomas family!” Rhys said, his face darkening in anger. “The
business partner this tis just a small company, but | saw great potential in their project. | honestly believed it
had a lot of promise, so | worked hard to make the partnership happen. After lengthy negotiations, we were
finally ready to sign the contract. However, today, they signed the contract with the Thomas family instead! All
my efforts were wasted, and the Thomas family got all the benefits now!”
As he spoke, Rhys’ anger grew even more pronounced. The veins in his forehead were throbbing now.
“What? What did you just say?” Minna said, her expression changing in an instant. She had not expected that
the Thomas family would be willing to offend the Williamson family for a close friend that they had no blood ties
with.
