Chapter 275

Chapter 275:
“Yes,” Belinda confessed bluntly.
Ryan’s eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing as he asked, “What’s your reason? Why would you put them online? What are you trying to do here?”
Belinda’s laughter was scornful, ringing with disdain. “Oh, Mr. Adams, your questions are really absurd. You were the one who sent them to me. I’m free to use them as I see fit. And I assumed you wanted to expose your cousin’s indiscretions for all to see. I was merely assisting you.”
Her tone dripped with irony as she spoke.
Ryan was stunned by her words, his features contorted in fury. At that moment, Belinda’s face became impassive. She stepped toward him boldly.
Ryan, caught off guard, recoiled slightly.
Belinda stood firmly before Ryan, tilting her head up, meeting his angry look with a cold stare. “I’ve always made it clear to Verena to stay away from my husband. It appears she ignored my warnings. So, why should I still be nice to her? She is so intent on being the other woman, isn’t she? So, I just helped her with that. Let the whole world see how shameless she really is.”
When Belinda’s chilling words reached Ryan’s ears, rage swept across his face. He had initially sent the photos to Belinda to create a rift between her and Lucas, hoping to keep their relationship from progressing. But he had never expected that Belinda would go as far as posting them online. That move had caught him completely off guard. How could she have publicized such private photos? What would others think of Verena? And what about Lucas? It seemed Belinda was completely indifferent to the damage done to Lucas’ public image.
A surge of frustration bit at Ryan as he processed this. Belinda’s stare was cold, her demeanor stoic. “Ryan, there’s only so much one can tolerate. Just because I haven’t reacted doesn’t mean I’m powerless. Test me again, and I’ll show no mercy to you.”
Without waiting for a response, Belinda turned on her heel and started to leave.
“Wait a minute!” Ryan suddenly shouted. He quickly stepped in Belinda’s way, towering over her with a commanding presence. “Belinda, you need to take those photos down immediately!”

With a cool glance, Belinda arched an eyebrow and calmly replied, “Take them down? Why would I do that? I actually want more people to see those captivating photos.”
The veins on Ryan’s forehead bulged visibly, his features darkening. “Even if you intend to retaliate against Verena, have you thought about Lucas at all? Posting those photos online, do you think that reflects well on him?”
Belinda scoffed, her tone laden with disdain. She regarded Ryan with a cold expression and replied evenly, “Why should I be concerned about Lucas?” Had it ever crossed Lucas’ mind how she would feel when he had sought out Verena in the dead of night, holding her close and kissing her?
Ryan was momentarily taken aback. He had not expected Belinda to say that.
Before he could respond, Belinda brushed past him and left. Ryan watched her walk away, his expression turning into a scowl, his mood darkening.
In the CEO’s office at Triumph Consortium, there was a knock on the door. Upon hearing Lucas’ permission to enter, Gordon Haywood, the assistant, stepped into the office. With a solemn demeanor, he approached the desk and set an iPad in front of Lucas.
He said respectfully, “Mr. Clark, here’s what’s trending today. Please have a look at this.”
