Chapter 1003

Chapter 1003:
“I’ve changed my mind,” Belinda stated icily.
Lucas took a deep breath, attempting to speak again. “Belinda—”
Belinda interjected, “Mr. Clark! Please, just focus on the road.” Her tone was sharp and dismissive.
Lucas was stunned, but he complied and remained silent.
He drove Belinda to the same location where Brent had previously been held, and now, Aiken was detained there as well.
As they walked in, the chilling sound of a whip cracking against flesh filled the air.
Despite the brutal punishment, Aiken remained stoically silent, enduring the pain without a cry.
“Mr. Clark, Ms. Wright.” A bodyguard acknowledged their arrival with a nod.
“What’s the situation now?” Lucas inquired.
“He’s extremely stubborn, refusing to talk,” the bodyguard replied.
Inwardly, the bodyguard admired the man’s resilience. He was undeniably tough! Yet, regrettably, he was their adversary.
Lucas glanced at Aiken, remained silent, and then took out his phone to make a call. “Bring her in.”
Within moments, the door swung open.
A bodyguard in black escorted Kylee into the room, her wrists bound. When Kylee saw Lucas and Belinda, her expression flickered briefly before she composed herself.

Standing defiantly, she demanded, “Mr. Clark, why have your men taken me captive?”
Lucas looked at her as if she had made an absurd comment. “Why? Surely you know the reason.”
He then gestured to Aiken and asked, “Do you recognize this man?”
Kylee’s gaze shifted to Aiken, and her face instantly paled. A flash of panic crossed her mind. But then, she quickly composed herself. She reminded herself to remain calm—now more than ever. Losing control was not an option.
“Who is this person? I don’t recognize him,” Kylee stated flatly.
Lucas raised an eyebrow. “Really? Because he claims you instructed him to talk to Brent and his brother.”
At this, Kylee’s expression turned dark.
She spun around and fixed Aiken with a piercing glare.
Damn it! This man had actually betrayed her!
Just as Kylee was about to confront him, Aiken spoke up…
“Enough with the nonsense! I haven’t uttered a single word from start to finish!” Aiken’s voice was hoarse, each syllable escaping his lips with great difficulty. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, his pallor betraying the pain he endured.
Kylee’s sharp retort caught in her throat. Her chest heaved as she exhaled shakily.
It was fortunate that she hadn’t lost her composure just now.
Lucas cast a cold, penetrating gaze at Aiken. His voice was chilling. “It seems you’re only willing to speak when Kylee is involved. Interesting.”
