His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1124:

Kylee actually had the audacity to come to see her?

Setting down her cup, Belinda took a deep breath and walked toward the door.

The moment she stepped out, she saw Kylee waiting for her. When Kylee saw Belinda, her expression turned cold.

“Belinda, let’s find a place to talk,” Kylee spoke first.

Belinda scanned the surroundings, remained silent for a moment, then turned wordlessly and walked in a direction.

Kylee followed closely behind.

They headed straight to the garden.

Stopping, Belinda faced Kylee, her tone cool. “Kylee, I don’t think there’s anything left for us to discuss.”

Kylee locked her gaze on Belinda, her eyes brimming with hatred and jealousy. The realization that Belinda hadn’t contracted HIV, that Lucas had risked everything to be with her—kissing her and even biting her lip to share her risk—and that she and Lucas were together now fueled her envy and anger.noveldrama

Why did Belinda always seem to have all the luck?

How could Belinda get all the good things in life?

As Kylee remained silent, just staring at Belinda, Belinda wanted to leave, not wanting to waste her time on Kylee.

“Belinda, feeling pretty smug now, aren’t you?” Kylee suddenly said.

Hearing this, Belinda frowned. “Smug?”

Kylee scoffed, “With someone as influential as Mr. Clark shielding you, you must feel quite smug. Even when you resort to underhanded tactics, there’s always someone to clean up after you—someone to take the fall for you…”

Belinda understood Kylee’s insinuation—she was alluding to the time she had been kidnapped and assaulted.

Pressing her lips tightly together for a moment, Belinda faced Kylee with a calm demeanor. “Kylee, I’ll say this once more—your kidnapping had nothing to do with me. If I were responsible, I wouldn’t deny it. But I’m not going to accept blame for something I didn’t do. Whether you believe that or not is your choice!” She paused for a second, then added, “You should consider whether you’ve made enemies elsewhere. Perhaps you were holding something over someone and tried to use it against them—only to have the tables turned on you. After all, you mentioned that your kidnappers had taken compromising photos of you. Doesn’t that tell you something?”

After saying that, Belinda took a deep breath. “Maybe you think I’m saying all this just to clear my name. But really, no matter what, you and I will never get along. So, does it even matter whether I admit to this or not? I simply refuse to accept blame for something I didn’t do.”

Kylee clenched her fists. Deep down, she had already begun to suspect that Verena was behind the kidnapping. The more she thought about the matter, the more certain she became. But so far, she had no proof. And she didn’t want to admit, even to herself, that she might have wrongly accused Belinda.

If it turned out she had indeed wrongly accused Belinda, what then of all her previous actions and her current suffering?

She had come to confront Belinda today because her hatred had overwhelmed her. She hated Belinda, Lucas, Verena, and Carola—all of them!

Yet, it was Belinda whom she hated and envied above all others. She felt compelled to confront Belinda, to unleash her fury—only then could she temper the seething anger within her.

Before Kylee could utter another word, Belinda turned and walked away. Watching Belinda’s departing figure, Kylee bit her lip, her eyes ablaze with resentment.
