Chapter 1237: Gordon didn't waste a second. "Our sources discovered that among the patrons at the Goldmeadow Restaurant that evening, there was a woman named Consuela Faulkner. Through surveillance footage, we've confirmed that she happened to witness the entire incident." His words might have seemed ambiguous, but both Lucas and Belinda instantly understood what he meant.
Goldmeadow Restaurant-that was where Belinda and Bethany had dined that evening, the snight Belinda had intervened to rescue Devin from Carmelita's drugged trap.
Consuela had seen the entire confrontation. And Consuela was Verena's close friend.

Gordon continued, "We interrogated Consuela, and she admitted that upon witnessing the scene, she immediately relayed everything to Verena." This made perfect sense. Given Verena and Belinda's rivalry, it was only natural for Verena's confidante to tell her everything after witnessing Belinda embroiled in conflict.
Belinda's lips curled into a knowing smirk. "It seems our suspicions were right all along." The person behind had approached Carmelita after that incident, so it becevident that they must have been privy to the events that had transpired in the restaurant that day. Given the circumstances, this information must have been relayed by someone involved.
Belinda and Bethany certainly hadn't divulged anything to anyone. Belinda was also convinced that Devin wouldn't have breathed a word about it either. After all, admitting that his own sister had conspired with an outsider to drug him would be nothing short of humiliating.

"Got it. You may go now," Lucas instructed, dismissing Gordon with wave of his hand.
"Yes, Mr. Clark," Gordon said before turning on his heels and leaving.
Belinda turned to Lucas, her gaze steady, staying silent. At this moment, they both fully grasped the reality-— Verena was the person behind Minna.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow, the question that remained was how Lucas intended to deal with her.
Belinda refrained from offering any suggestions on this matter; she was more interested in observing how Lucas would handle it. Lucas met Belinda's eyes, his expression inscrutable, yet his voice carried a rare gentleness. "Belinda, I promise you-I'll set things right for you."
A faint nod was Belinda's response.
"Alright." The content is on COMP O novelenglish.net!
Since Lucas had said that, she felt no need to say more about the matter.
