Chapter 555

Chapter 555:
She paused for a moment before suddenly asking, “Grandma, do you honestly think my mother didn’t know about my allergy to artichokes before?”
Kenia’s eyes widened in shock. “Belinda! How can you think that about your own mother? Back when you were little, you had the worst fever. It was pouring outside, and there were no taxis around. Your mother carried you on her back and ran all the way to the hospital to get you treated. She stayed up all night taking care of you, too, and even when she ended up being feverish herself the next day, she continued to look after you. No matter what happens, you must never doubt your mother’s love for you! You shouldn’t say such things, Belinda. If your mother hears this, she will be heartbroken.”
Belinda lowered her eyes and fell silent.
Her thoughts were in turmoil.
On one hand, Belinda did remember the incident from her childhood that Kenia had spoken of.
She remembered how diligently Holley had cared for her.
On the other hand, Holley’s recent actions were the complete opposite of what one would expect from a loving parent.
Belinda had no idea what she should believe now.
The one thing she did know for sure, however, was that she couldn’t completely trust Holley anymore.

Meanwhile, Holley was leaning against the door outside, eavesdropping on Belinda’s conversation with Kenia.
Her expression shifted when she heard Belinda’s words.
It seemed that she had been too hasty.
Now, Belinda was beginning to have doubts about her.
But Holley regretted nothing.
She was convinced that she had done the right thing.
As long as no concrete evidence surfaced, the matter would forever haunt Belinda and disrupt her life.
People would only think about that incident whenever they saw Belinda, and their judgmental stares and whispered insults would follow her for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Holley couldn’t help but smile.
Still, she knew she couldn’t afford to lose Belinda’s trust now.
She needed to devise a plan to earn it back.
Holley’s eyes narrowed in determination, and she went back to her room quietly.
The next day, in the CEO’s office at Triumph Consortium.
Lucas’s phone rang, and he answered it after a couple of rings.
“Hello.”
“Mr. Clark,” came his secretary’s voice, “I just got a call from the receptionist. The chairman of the Forsaken Group is here to see you. He says he has evidence to prove that Belinda was not assaulted by that man.”
Lucas practically jumped out of his chair in a mix of surprise and excitement.
