NovelEnglishChapter 1283: That revelation truly caught her off guard.
After a short pause, Belinda looked Kylee dead in the eyes. "Why confess now? When I questioned you before, you refused to admit anything. So what changed? What has made you cclean all of a sudden?" A faint flicker crossed Kylee's gaze before she scoffed lightly. "Before, I didn't feel like sharing. Now I do. Is that a crime?" Belinda let out an amused chuckle. "Letguess-you've learned what happened to Verena, haven't you? Now you are hoping Lucas and I will cdown even harder on her by tellingthis. That way, you can get your revenge without lifting a finger. Am I right?" Belinda's sharp eyes narrowed. "And the reason you kept quiet before? It's because you wanted to keep Verena for a while. You knew full well that once Lucas and I discovered what Verena had done, we'd go after her without hesitation. And that would mean one less person who hates you, one less ally for you. So, despite..." Knowing she orchestrated your kidnapping, you still chose not to expose her." Kylee's face stiffened slightly. For a brief moment, she couldn't deny how accurately Belinda had dissected her motives.

Moments later, she pulled out her phone, unlocked it, and tapped it a few times. She then slid it across the table to Belinda. "Here. Watch this." Belinda glanced down, picked up the phone, and hit play.
It was a video.
As the footage rolled, Belinda's expression shifted in an instant.
It was from Harold's extravagant birthday banquet, the night Verena had fallen down the staircase and accused Belinda of pushing her.
The video clearly showed that Verena had fallen on her own, and Belinda had actually tried to catch her.

Belinda suddenly let out a short laugh. “So that's how it is... You threatened Verena with this first. That's why Verena had people kidnap you and take those photos of you. Is that right?" Kylee's face went rigid in an instant.
Belinda's words had struck a nerve, exposing a wound she wasn't m prepared to face.
Her lips tightened, and though she m said nothing, the storm brewing in e her expression was unmistakable.
Taking a moment to steady herself, Kylee finally spoke, her voice laced with quiet tension. “Minna was also acting under Verena's orders After fleeing the Burke family estate, Minna went straight to Verena's place. Verena, aware of Minna's hatred for you, used that resentment to her advantage. She promised Minna she would help her. Even later, when Minna wanted to kill you, it was all Verena who helped Minna plan it.”
