Chapter 682

Chapter 682:
Her steps were brisk and purposeful, her patience for Verena long gone.
As she exited the restroom, Belinda found herself face-to-face with Kylee, who was standing by the door.
Her brows knitted tightly together.
What was happening today? One frustrating encounter after another—first Verena, now this.
Kylee’s eyes flickered with a mix of emotions—shock, suspicion, and an unmistakable bitterness she couldn’t hide.
She couldn’t help but study Belinda’s features more closely, noticing the faint resemblance to Carola.
The knowledge that Belinda was the true daughter of the Wright family stirred a toxic blend of anger and jealousy in her chest.
But no matter what, this secret had to remain buried. Belinda could never be recognized as anything more than an illegitimate child in the eyes of the world.
Without a word, Belinda walked past Kylee and left.
After the wedding banquet, Belinda drove back to Vera Villas.
Once she arrived, she parked in the lot and exited the car, heading toward the elevator.
Her steps slowed when she noticed a figure standing nearby. The man’s presence was impossible to ignore.
Belinda hesitated briefly but then continued toward him.
Her voice was direct, steady as ever. “Did you find those videos of Minna?”
“Yes,” Lucas replied without hesitation.

After a pause, he added, “She dared to hurt you, so of course, I couldn’t let her get away with it. This matter won’t end just like that. She’ll face the consequences for what she did.”
He emphasized the word “consequences,” his tone laced with subtle aggression, making his intent unmistakable.
At his words, Belinda’s gaze flickered briefly. “Thanks,” she said, her tone stiff.
Lucas’ lips curled into a soft smile, his gaze warm and unwavering as he looked at her. “I’m happy to do it.”
But then, his expression darkened, a shadow clouding his features.
“Belinda,” he began, his voice lowering, tinged with disapproval. “Why are you still so close to Darwin? Don’t forget—if it weren’t for him, Minna wouldn’t have targeted you. None of this would have happened.” His eyes narrowed slightly as he continued, “You should keep your distance from him.”
