Chapter 1140:

“Did you hear what happened last night?” Verena asked, her tone laced with intrigue. “Belinda was kidnapped.”

Kylee’s eyes widened in shock. “What? What happened to her? Did she get hurt?”

Verena, anticipating what Kylee was about to ask, interjected, “She’s fine. She made it out with nothing more than a few cuts on her arm.”

Kylee’s initial concern quickly turned into disappointment.

She said, “Why is Belinda always so lucky? How does she manage to get out of every situation unscathed? Rhys had her in his hands, and yet she walked away with barely a mark! What the hell was he doing?”

Bitterness crept into Verena’s tone.
