Ryan’s words brought back the memory of Belinda slamming Verena’s head against the wall.
Verena shivered. She had truly felt that Belinda had wanted to kill her at that time.

Belinda found Lucas’ words laughable. She believed Lucas was naive for falling for Verena’s lies again. If Verena

Her voice took on a mocking tone as she added, “Your so-called pursuit ofdoesn’t mean anything to me.”

Belinda felt a heavy blow strike her heart.
The intensity of the pain was unbearable.
Her breathing faltered momentarily, as if the air had fled her lungs.
