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.

"There will be people who believe me," Mint replied, her tone sharp with certainty. "But whether they do or not doesn't matter. Belief is the least of my problems. The real issue is that even if I know what they're doing, I can't just arrest them."

She clicked her tongue. "Damn law."
