It Was All Minerva’s Idea
William reacted as he shouted in surprise, “No, Mr. Lach! I swear we’re innocent! We have nothing to do
with this. Please!”
Nevertheless, Leroy walked up to him and gave him two slaps on the face. “You’re innocent?! What
about Ronald then? He initially told us he was going to meet up with some friends for a gathering, but
now he’s lost a few fingers and more importantly, his place as the family’s heir. How do you think you can
make it up to him for that? My brother is merciful enough to demand an arm and a leg from each of you
because if it were up to me, I would have sliced you all into pieces and fed your flesh to the dogs! Take
them away, gentlemen!”
As those from the Lach Family intimidatingly came closer to do as they were told, William nervously
seized Leroy’s arm and begged with a trembling voice, “Please, Mr. Leroy! I swear we have nothing to do
with this! I-It was all Minvera’s idea. She… fooled us all to do her bidding, so we’re victims too.”
Oh my gosh! William is going to expose me if he continues. At the thought of that, Minerva’s
expression changed. “Don’t listen to him, Mr. Leroy. He was the one who invited Ronald to the
gathering, so what did it have to do with me? It’s obvious that he is trying to frame me!” she explained
anxiously.
Leroy shot a gaze at her and looked back at William. “Did you hear that? She said you were trying to
frame her with your cock-and-bull story!”
An irked and frustrated William snarled, “Damn you, Minerva! You had the guts to plan and execute your
wicked scheme, but you’re chickening out and abandoning us like a coward?! Act like a mature adult and
admit your mistake! You were the one who orchestrated everything, so don’t you ever try to make us
your scapegoat! In fact, you wanted to take on Sasha and Matthew, which was why you had us lure
Ronald to where you wanted us to bring him to. Mr. Lach, Mr. Leroy, I wish you both could see the truth.
We were indeed the ones who called Ronald, but… that was because we acted on Minerva’s order.
Furthermore, we wouldn’t have known where Sasha was if it hadn’t been for her. Don’t you think so, Mr.
Leroy?”
With a glacial chuckle, Leroy looked askance at the other two guys. “What about you two?”
The other two guys quickly gave their answers. “Mr. Leroy, we can prove that William is indeed telling the
truth. Minerva was behind all this. In fact, our phones still have the message that she sent us, which
would be the evidence. If you don’t believe us, you could always have a look at it, Mr. Leroy.”
When she heard that, Minerva stiffened. After all, she had really messaged them to fix a time for their
scheme. Thus, she was completely caught off guard when that message had become the very evidence
her accomplices used against her.
Soon, Leroy took a closer look at one of their phones before his face had an angry look. “What do you
have to say for yourself, Minerva?”
While she gritted her teeth in silence with a pale face, William asked with a shaking voice, “See? Doesn’t
that seem obvious enough to you both, Mr. Lach and Mr. Leroy? Minerva had been behind all this and
we had nothing to do with it at all. So, please make the right decision and let us go…”
Wilson returned to his seat with a smile. “Oh wow! That’s a brilliant move, young lady. I didn’t think you’d
try to use me to take out your enemies.”
“What are we going to do now, Wilson?” Leroy angrily added, “This b*tch has become a disgrace for the
Lach Family while causing Ronald to lose his place as the heir. We should chop her into pieces and feed
her to the dog for embarrassing the Lach Family!”
Upon hearing his angry response, Minerva felt as if her blood had frozen. After all, as she was now at the
Lach Residence, she had no doubt that he would do anything he wanted to punish her.
With a wave of his hand, Wilson replied, “Relax, Leroy. She is but a little girl, so why are you so worked
up?! You’re scaring her! Grab her a chair and let her take a seat. After all, it seems necessary for us to
really talk this out.”
