His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1050:

Verena’s expression darkened.

What was Kylee planning? Did Kylee really expect her to take action against Belinda?

If she had really intended to take action against Belinda herself, would she need to say anything to Kylee about this?

Verena said, “Revenge should be personal! Don’t you want the satisfaction of seeing the person you despise suffer with your own eyes?”

Kylee saw through Verena’s ploy.

Verena was trying to push her into taking action against Belinda.

Did Verena think she could manipulate her as a tool against Belinda? Dream on!

Kylee replied firmly, “I’ve started to doubt that Belinda was behind my kidnapping. I need to investigate the matter further.”noveldrama

She was saying this to gauge Verena’s reaction.

From the other end of the line, Verena’s voice showed her surprise. “What? You think someone else did that? Impossible! Who else could it be but Belinda? What had gotten into Kylee? Why was she suddenly questioning the matter?”

Verena knew this change was disadvantageous for her.

Kylee scoffed coldly, “Exactly! That’s what I’m trying to find out—who else could it be if not Belinda? This is why I must do some digging. As for dealing with Belinda, we can put that on hold for now.”

With those words, she ended the call.

A chill settled over Kylee’s features.

She still wasn’t certain who had orchestrated her kidnapping, but one thing was clear—Verena was attempting to manipulate her into targeting Belinda. She needed a strategy to further test Verena.

The next morning,

Belinda, Lucas, Bethany, and their companions departed for Starryhill at dawn. This outing had been planned the previous evening. Since that incident, Belinda hadn’t gone out for a while.

Everyone agreed that a day trip might offer Belinda some relief and help clear her mind.

Belinda also extended an invitation to Catherine, carefully noting that Johnson would attend as well.

She added, “Johnson mentioned he’d understand if you’d rather not come due to his presence.”

Catherine responded that it wasn’t an issue for her and agreed to join them. As they prepared to leave for Starryhill, Lucas and Belinda, along with Vincent, got into one vehicle.

Johnson, Catherine, and Bethany took another.

As they boarded, Johnson said to Bethany, “Bethany, you can take the front seat.”

When Bethany heard this, her brow twitched as she remembered Belinda’s prior recommendation to Johnson.

“Okay.” She nodded without hesitation.

Catherine’s eyes flickered with recollection. Every previous ride in Johnson’s car had found her in the passenger seat, but today…

She quickly composed herself as she opened the back door.

During the two-hour journey, Johnson didn’t speak to Catherine and didn’t even glance at her.

His demeanor toward her was cold.
