Chapter 661

‘The hatred between Barbara and Katrina has nothing to do with Ryleigh and me, but she still dragged Ryleigh and

me along. It doesn’t make sense if she only wanted to talk to me about the things that happened between her and

Katrina.

‘No, she might not want to drag Ryleigh along at all. She only brought her along just so that I’d tag along as I’m

close to Ryleigh. Barbara only revealed her secrets to me after Ryleigh left the other day, which means that she

doesn’t want Ryleigh to know.’

Barbara looked at Maisie for a while, then lowered her eyes and chuckled. “I know you’re a smart one.”

She then confessed, “Indeed, I want to suppress Katrina through Mrs. Boucher, so I deliberately leaked some gossip

to Mrs. Boucher and went to the auction venue just because I wanted to confirm it with my own eyes.”

Maisie’s eyes moved. “You helped me with that incident related to Mr. Ludwig, and you told me about you and

Katrina deliberately too. You actually knew long ago that I wouldn’t be able to reject that favor of yours, so you

want me to help you.”

Barbara leaned against the window sill with a calm face. “I did think of doing so after discovering who you were that

night. I wanted to win you over. Jenny and Ryleigh don’t know about these things as I only told

them to you.”

Maisie was astounded. “Why me?”

Barbara looked at her. “Because you’re the only one who can help me. Katrina knows Jenny. She’ll know that I’m

the one behind it if I get Jenny to help me. And Ryleigh, she’s too straightforward and not too contemplative. She

doesn’t have what it takes to go against Katrina. As for me, there’s no way that I can do it myself.”

Just because Jenny knows Katrina, she didn’t call Jenny along when we went to the gem-hunting event on purpose.

Katrina doesn’t know Ryleigh and me. That’s why we serve as the perfect cover-up for Barbara.

‘Barbara changed her name before returning to Zlokova, so Katrina shouldn’t be able to recognize her a s Barbara.

She claims that she can’t do it herself, meaning she’s worried that Katrina will discover her identity.

What is the thing that makes Barbara so afraid that Katrina would know who she is?’

Maisie squinted. “Katrina has something on you.”

It was not a question but an assertion. Barbara nodded and added, “I have my concerns. She possesses a video

that recorded my accidental manslaughter, and my father has to pay her a lot of money every month as she

blackmails him with the video.

“My father is currently moving down from his position while my uncle is taking over. So if I were to make a move on

Katrina during this transition period, judging from her personality, she’d definitely retaliate against me and drag me

down with her out of desperation. If



ated. So unless I can get my hands on that video, there’s nothing that I can do for now.” A hint of helplessness

beamed through her eyes. It was not that she did not want to take revenge ever since returning to Zlokova, but she

could not do anything about Katrina. That was why she could only keep an eye on her from the shadows and act

cautiously.

She was the daughter of the Chases. The Chases would definitely be hauled into this turmoil as soon as she took the

wrong step, even though she had only killed the person in self-defense back then.

The Chases had been in politics for many years and had offended a lot of people. It would be the end of the Chases

if this matter were to be used and amplified by those who opposed the Chases.

Barbara looked at her earnestly. “I’ll remember this favor of yours for the rest of my life if you help me out. The

Chases will also do anything in our capabilities to repay your kindness if you encounter any trouble in the future.

However, if you really believe that there’s nothing that you can do, I’ll leave and go back home now, thinking that

I’ve come to the wrong person for

help.”

Maisie looked out the window and slowly responded after some time, “I can help you out, but I’ll need some time.”

When she arrived at the Goldmann mansion. Maisie sent Nolan a message saying that she had been discharged

from the hospital. She then put down her cell phone and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

She did not see Nolan’s reply even after coming out of the shower, probably because he was busy.
