Chapter 270

Chapter 270:
Her concern was evident as she looked at her granddaughter.
Hearing Kenia’s question, Belinda quickly blinked, forcing herself to mask her emotions.
Taking a deep breath, she put her phone away and looked up, her tone calm as she replied, “It’s nothing, Grandma. Just a patient with a poor prognosis—I am a bit worried.”
Kenia studied Belinda for a moment, her gaze sharp and intuitive.
She sensed there was more to it than Belinda was letting on, but she chose not to pry.
“Alright,” she said in a low voice, though her eyes lingered on Belinda with concern.
Belinda tried to steer the conversation back to lighter topics, laughing and chatting, but her forced smile didn’t escape Kenia’s notice.
Kenia, who knew Belinda better than anyone, could see through her facade.
After breakfast, Belinda left Vera Villas.
The moment she stepped into the elevator, the mask she had worn so carefully slipped away.
Her expression turned cold, the weight of the photos pressing heavily on her mind.
A bitter laugh escaped her lips, sharp and humorless.

The mix of anger and disgust swirling inside her was overwhelming.
Just hours ago, Lucas had kissed her forcefully, leaving her shaken, and now, the photos she had just received revealed him effortlessly embracing and kissing another woman…
Lucas truly had mastered the art of juggling relationships, hadn’t he?
Belinda’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile as she replayed the events in her mind.
Thinking back to how flustered and moved she had been by Lucas’ kiss the night before, she now felt utterly laughable.
Why had Ryan sent her those photos?
What message was he trying to convey?
Did he want her to know that Lucas had always been in love with Verena, suggesting she should hurry up and divorce him?
Or was he simply attempting to provoke her?
A cold glint flashed in Belinda’s eyes as her thoughts swirled.
Some people were truly shameless.
They didn’t take her warnings seriously, assuming she was too soft to follow through on her threats.
Or perhaps they believed she was an easy target, someone who would endure anything silently.
Well, if that was what they thought…
They were about to learn how wrong they were.
After stepping out of the elevator, Belinda pulled out her phone and made a call.
