His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1127:

Holley and Sarai?

What were they plotting?

During her lunch break, Belinda arranged to meet Lucas at a nearby restaurant, where she relayed everything Gloria had told her.

Lucas listened intently, his brows knitting together in a deep frown. His voice was low as he said, “So Holley’s invitation to a meal and her so-called apology were merely a façade. The real purpose was to assist Sarai in whatever scheme she’s concocting.”

“Their target is undoubtedly you.” Belinda’s gaze bore into Lucas’s, her voice brimming with certainty.

She had long noticed Sarai’s affection for Lucas.

But she had never imagined that Sarai would be capable of persuading Holley to help her with this.

What exactly was going on here?

Why had Holley so suddenly aligned herself with Sarai’s cause? Something about this felt amiss.

The moment Belinda’s words reached his ears, a glint of cold disdain flickered in Lucas’s dark eyes.

The conversation between Holley and Sarai had already revealed their true intentions.

They had the audacity to scheme against him? Did they have a death wish?

A heavy silence settled between Lucas and Belinda, their expressions turning dark.

Belinda looked at Lucas. “Next time Holley invites us—or invites you to a meal alone—don’t refuse. Accept her offer. It’ll be a good chance to see exactly what they’re up to.”

Her voice carried a controlled edge of fury.

Lucas exhaled slowly, his stomach twisting with disgust. “Alright.” Despite his revulsion, he knew it was necessary to play along and uncover their motives.

Neither Belinda nor Lucas enjoyed the lunch.

Lucas was disgusted by Holley and Sarai’s scheme, while Belinda felt deeply disappointed.

This was a bitter confirmation of Belinda’s worst suspicions. She had never once believed that Holley had wanted to invite them for a meal to apologize to her.

But she hadn’t expected it to be a calculated setup for Holley to aid Sarai.

Everyone in that household knew Sarai had feelings for Lucas.

Yet, rather than discouraging it, Holley—her own mother—was actively helping another woman to get close to her boyfriend.

It was unbelievable.noveldrama

Belinda struggled to grasp how things had come to this. When had her mother become so unrecognizable?

A suffocating weight pressed down on her chest. For a moment, she could barely breathe.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

During that time, Holley and Sarai made no further moves, leaving Belinda and Lucas to wait.

That evening, Vincent invited his friends to meet at the Dream Club.

After dinner and a brief rest, Belinda and Lucas headed to the Dream Club.

To their surprise, Ryan was among the attendees.
