Chapter 768:

Lucas immediately shook his head, dismissing the idea. “It's definitely not him. Rhys has been swamped lately

with problems at his company in Soling. He's been running himself ragged trying to sort everything out. As soon

as Minna escaped, | had someone look into Rhys and keep an eye on him. So far, there's no sign that he knows

anything about Minna’s escape. It couldn’t have been him.”

Bethany frowned, her confusion evident. “That's strange. If it wasn’t Rhys, then who could it be?”

Lucas sighed. “We still don’t know.”

“Damn it! That Minna is nothing but trouble!” Bethany muttered, clearly frustrated.

The conversation about Minna cast a heavy shadow over the table, making the atmosphere tense.

Belinda quickly smiled and changed the subject. “Let’s not dwell on her anymore. We're here to enjoy ourselves,

not let her ruin our mood.”

Johnson also nodded enthusiastically. “Exactly! With Lucas around, Belinda’s in good hands. Maybe in a day or

two, Minna will be caught.”

With that, they moved on, and the topic was dropped.

During the meal, Lucas kept tending to Belinda’s needs meticulously, while Johnson did the sfor Catherine.

Bethany and Vincent, feeling a bit out of place, exchanged knowing looks.

After finishing the meal, they left the restaurant and returned to the hotel for a much-needed rest.

In the afternoon, they were feeling more refreshed and changed into swimwear to head to the hot spring pool.

However, as soon as they entered, they saw Ryan and Verena standing by the entrance.

Their expressions shifted in an instant.

“Why are Verena and Ryan here again? It’s like they're a shadow that follows us everywhere,” Bethany muttered

under her breath, clearly irritated.

Ryan and Verena approached them, with Ryan grinning. “We didn’t miss anything, did we?”

Bethany shot back, “How did you even know we were here? Did you get it from another waiter?”

Her voice dripped with sarcasm, and her disdain was impossible to hide.

“It was me,” Vincent spoke up before Ryan could reply.

Everyone turned to look at him, surprised.

Vincent explained, “When Johnson calledyesterday, | was having dinner with Ryan and Verena. They

overheard the conversation, so...” There was no need for further explanation.

Ryan and Verena had shamelessly tagged along.

After a beat, Johnson sighed and broke the awkward silence. “Well, since you're already here, we might as well

enjoy the hot spring together.”

There wasn’t much choice; they couldn't exactly ask Verena and Ryan to leave. After all, they were friends, and

creating unnecessary tension wasn’t worth it.

Even so, Verena and Ryan's unexpected arrival dimmed the relaxed atmosphere, leaving a subtle awkwardness

hanging in the air. The group headed toward their designated hot spring pool without much conversation.

They had barely made it halfway when a sudden, piercing scream shattered the quiet.
