Before Holley could respond, Belinda hung up the phone.
“Was that Holley?” Lucas asked, his gaze fixed on Belinda. He had overheard part of their conversation.
Belinda gave a slight nod.
“Yes.”
“Then go back now,” Lucas said. He could tell that the unanswered questions were weighing on Belinda’s mind.

“Yes, Ms. Wright. I'll take care of Mr. Clark. He will be fine; you don’t need to worry,” Gordon said, his tone

Belinda stayed quiet for a moment, clearly torn. After a while, she finally nodded.
“Alright, I'll leave now.”
Lucas gave her a faint smile.

Holley, lounging on the sofa, immediately stood up when she spotted Belinda.
“Belinda...” she began, her tone a mix of hesitation and hope as she moved toward her.
But her enthusiasm dimmed the moment she realized Belinda had cempty-handed.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Belinda, are you still mad at me? Look, | know | said sawful

Belinda stayed composed, her lips parting just enough to let her calm yet cutting voice slip through.
“The reason | didn’t chthe night before last is because | ran into Minna when | went out to buy you
cakes, and she tried to kill me.”
