Chapter 728:

On the way, Lucas broke the silence.

“Today, Macie cto see me. Do you remember her?” he asked.

“Macie?” Belinda frowned slightly, her gaze distant as she tried to place the name. After a moment, realization

dawned. “Isn’t she one of Minna’s lackeys?” she asked bluntly.

Lucas chuckled at her directness, nodding. “That's her.”

His tone grew serious as he continued, “Macie toldMinna hasn't given up on targeting you. Minna can’t act

directly because of her current situation, so she’s keeping her hands clean by using Macie to do her dirty work.”

Belinda felt a sense of resignation wash over her as she absorbed this. It seemed like Minna had completely lost

her grip on reality. After everything, after all the consequences she had faced, Minna still hadn't learned her

lesson.

After a brief silence, Belinda spoke. “So, Macie wants out but doesn’t know how to escape Minna’s control. That's

why she cto you, hoping for protection?”

Lucas nodded, his voice steady. “Exactly. | told her to keep an eye on Minna and report anything suspicious

directly to me.”

Belinda didn’t respond immediately. Her expression was unreadable as she processed his words.

After a while, Lucas spoke again. “Belinda, earlier... did you think | would agree to take Verena home?”

For a moment, Belinda froze, unsure how to answer that.

Lucas lightly pursed his lips. When he spoke, his voice carried a low, magnetic intensity. “I told you before that |

would prove my change to you through my actions. | understand what matters most to you, and | won't cross

that line again.”

He paused, his grip tightening slightly on the steering wheel as he took a measured breath. “I didn’t handle

things the right way before, but | promise, I'll do better from now on.”

The sincerity in his tone made Belinda’s heart stir, an unexpected warmth spreading through her chest.

Belinda couldn’t deny it. Lucas’ actions just now had actually pleased her. But that was all.

With that thought in mind, Belinda pursed her lips slightly, stared ahead, and then said calmly, “That's your

business, not mine.”

Lucas felt a flicker of helplessness and disappointment, but he had expected this response from Belinda. He

stayed quiet for the rest of the drive.

When they reached Belinda’s place, Lucas stopped the car. With concern in his voice, he said to Belinda, “Make

sure you apply the ointment to your neck and keep it dry.”
