NovelReadingChapter 784:
“She couldn't have done it at the club,” Vincent continued. “We all drank from the sbottle, but none of us
suffered similar effects.”
Belinda and Lucas suddenly exclaimed in unison, “The glasses!” They looked at each other soon after blurting it
out,
Lucas gave Belinda a faint, knowing smile, but Belinda just blinked before quickly shifting her gaze away from
him.
“We did drink from the sbottle,” Lucas said. “But the glasses were brought in separately and placed one by
one in front of us. Verena must have put the drug in my glass!”
“What a cunning bitch,” Bethany spat out in disdain.

The others refrained from commenting, but they silently agreed with her.
Except Ryan. He didn’t agree.
They had started eating when Johnson asked, “By the way, Lucas, what happened to your head? You have a little
bump over there.”
He had only noticed it by chance.
Everyone turned to look at Lucas’ head.
Lucas didn’t flinch as he put more food on Belinda’s plate. “The drug Verena used is different from any regular
love potion,” he explained calmly. “It clouds the mind, making people see whomever they wish to see. | initially
saw Verena as Belinda and almost lost myself to the illusion. | ended up hitting my head with an ashtray just to
keep my wits.”
Although he talked about it so casually, the reality of his words sent shivers down his friends’ spines.
None of them had imagined that a love potion could have that kind of effect.
It truly was a close call!

Verena probably hadn't anticipated that Lucas would stay conscious under the drug's influence. She could have
succeeded otherwise.
Belinda’s expression shifted, and her grip tightened around her fork. She couldn't deny the sense of relief that
washed over her when she heard Lucas’ words.
She couldn't even bring herself to think about the aftermath if Lucas had really succumbed to the drug.
At that moment, Belinda experienced a profound realization that sent a shiver through her soul—she simply
couldn't bear the thought of Lucas being with another woman.

Just the mere idea of it sent waves of discomfort coursing through her as if her heart were being pierced by an
invisible dagger. Belinda found herself caught in a whirlwind of emotions, uncertain whether she felt relieved or
something entirely different...
Suddenly, she pivoted her head to look at Lucas.
Noticing Belinda’s gaze, Lucas instinctively turned to look at her. As their eyes locked in a silent exchange, both
of their hearts quivered slightly.
Belinda hastily averted her gaze, lowering her eyes in an attempt to regain composure as she resumed eating.
Yet, deep within her chest, her heart remained far from calm.
After that, no one mentioned the topic again.
Once lunch concluded, everyone prepared to make their way home. Just as they were about to enter the car,
Belinda abruptly called out to Lucas, “Hold on a moment.”
