“Belinda! Have you checked the news recently?” Bethany sounded excited over the phone. “There’s been another update on the matter of Lucas and Verena.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of confusion flickered in Belinda’s eyes. “What’s happening now? I’m driving and haven’t checked my phone yet.”

“Alright, just focus on driving now. Check your phone once you’ve parked. I won’t disturb you. Drive safely,” Bethany replied briskly.

“Alright.” Belinda nodded, ending the call.

It’s unethical, and I urge everyone to stop spreading baseless rumors.”
