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.
