Chapter 949



Minna’s eyes, wide and unblinking, were filled with shock, fear, and a profound unwillingness to die. Even in death, her eyes remained open.

Seeing this, Macie burst into wild laughter.

After her laughter subsided, she looked at Minna’s lifeless body and said, “Minna, you destroyed my life! So I took your life!” The recording ended there.

Belinda sat there, stunned and silent, trying to process what she had just watched. She had never imagined that Macie would be the one to kill Minna.

“Minna died instantly. Macie was arrested,” Lucas said.

Belinda turned to him.

“Is Macie at the police station now?”

“Yes,” Lucas replied.

“Can I see her?” Belinda asked.

Lucas nodded affirmatively.

“Of course. Let’s go.”

They then proceeded to the police station.

As Belinda and Lucas entered the room, Macie’s expression was one of cold indifference.

Before Belinda and Lucas could speak, Macie stated flatly, “I don’t regret killing Minna.”

Belinda couldn’t help but knit her brows.

“I understand that everything Minna put you through caused unbearable anguish, leaving wounds so deep they may never fully heal. But that doesn’t mean your life is hopeless. However, after what you did to Minna, you will have to spend the rest of your life in jail. Throwing away your future for someone like Minna… is it truly worthwhile?”

A bitter chuckle slipped from Macie’s lips, quickly escalating into hollow, despairing laughter. It was filled with sarcasm and hopelessness.

“My life was already destroyed by her a long time ago!” Macie suddenly exclaimed, her voice cracking under the weight of her emotions. Her eyes burned with seething hatred.

Belinda pressed her lips together for a moment, hesitating before speaking.

“Your face—”

But before she could finish, Macie cut her off, her voice sharp.

“Do you have any idea how merciless Minna was? She didn’t just have someone violate me—she ruined my face, ensuring I would never be able to look at myself in the mirror again! And… and…” Her breath hitched, her shoulders trembling as tears welled up in her eyes. She struggled to form the words, as if voicing them would make her suffering all the more real.

“Just a few days ago, I was diagnosed with HIV.”

Belinda’s eyes widened in shock.

She turned to Lucas, their gazes locking in stunned disbelief.
