Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1658: Because I sure do.

The conversation with Priscilla had been long, but she had finally given them names — names none of them expected. As each one was mentioned, Mint wrote them down, her expression twisting with rage.

It only confirmed how deeply corrupt Anteca had become.

"Wow..." Mint laughed dryly, running her tongue along the inside of her cheek. "I knew most of them."

She tilted her head, curiosity flashing in her eyes. "Didn't that ever occur to you?" "No no," Priscilla stammered. "I trust the person who told me. I've been his client for years.
