Chapter 294

Chapter 294:
Catching sight of him caused her to pause for a moment. Harold’s earlier words echoed in her thoughts…
Belinda was lost in thought.
Was guilt the real reason behind Lucas’ feelings for Verena? Or did he genuinely have feelings for her?
Belinda caught herself pondering these questions as she gazed at Lucas.
Lucas, in turn, was also looking at Belinda. He noticed the complicated, unreadable expression on her face, causing his brow to furrow slightly. He was just about to say something when his phone unexpectedly rang.
He pulled the phone from his pocket, glanced at the caller ID, and then stepped out onto the balcony to answer the call. He slid the balcony door shut behind him before answering.
“The situation with Ryan and Verena has reached me,” Vincent’s voice came through on the other end of the line.
Lucas stayed quiet, letting Vincent continue.
After a moment’s hesitation, Vincent added, “Lucas, is expelling Ryan from the East District project really necessary? Isn’t that a bit too harsh?”
Lucas’ face remained impassive as he responded, “Would a lighter punishment teach him anything?” He scoffed slightly and continued, “He needs to face the consequences this time. That’s the only way he’ll learn.”
Vincent paused for a moment, absorbing Lucas’ words. Before Vincent could say more, Lucas said, “If you’re calling to plead for him or make excuses for him, don’t bother.”

Vincent quickly replied, “I am not calling to do that. I am actually more intrigued by something else…”
Lucas didn’t say anything in return.
Vincent continued after a brief pause, “Tell me, Lucas, are you angry because Ryan went behind your back, or is it because he sent those photos to Belinda?”
Lucas was caught off guard by his words. He furrowed his brows slightly, and after a moment’s hesitation, he responded in a low voice, “It’s definitely because Ryan—”
However, Vincent cut him off before he could finish speaking.
“There’s no need to explain this to me. Just think this over on your own,” Vincent said, his words hinting at a deeper insight.
Following a short laugh, Vincent added, “Ryan truly crossed the line this time. He needs to learn his lesson. That’s all I wanted to say.”
With that, Vincent ended the call.
Lucas found himself at a loss for words. The conversation left him a bit bewildered.
After a brief pause, Lucas returned to the room. At that time, Belinda was seated at the vanity, doing her skincare routine.
Lucas walked directly over to her. He abruptly reached out, took her chin in his hand, and turned her face toward him.
Belinda met his gaze, her expression one of mild confusion. She batted her long lashes and fixed him with a stern look. “What are you doing?”
Lucas remained silent, his gaze intense. His eyes conveyed a whirlwind of emotions.
