Chapter 1004



Aiken’s expression stiffened slightly. He quickly said, “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t even know this woman.”

Lucas’ lips curled into a knowing smirk. “Oh really? Then perhaps… I should call Galen over. Let’s see what he has to say about this, shall we?”

At the mere mention of Galen’s name, both Aiken and Kylee visibly tensed.

Lucas turned to Kylee, his eyes sharp as blades.

“Did you really think I wouldn’t uncover your foreign transactions?” he said.

Kylee’s heart pounded violently against her ribs. A chill ran down her spine.

She had never imagined Lucas would be able to discover her overseas account.

Even worse, he had found out about her connections to Aiken.

Kylee’s fingers clenched into fists at her sides. It was all over now.

Lucas said, “If I say it’s you, then it’s you! Whether you confess or not is inconsequential to me.”

The air in the room grew heavier. Belinda, who had been silent, spoke up.

Her voice trembled with fury as she fixed Kylee with a glare. “Kylee, have you completely lost your mind?”

Kylee let out a harsh, bitter laugh. “Lost my mind? No, Belinda. I have never been more clear-headed in my life.” Now that she was already exposed, she found herself with nothing further to conceal.

Her voice dripped with venom as she continued, her eyes burning with resentment. “Belinda! This is the punishment you deserve! You humiliated me! You had people take nude photos of me and rape me! You should have known back then that you would pay for it!” Every word she uttered was soaked in hatred.

Belinda’s breath caught in her throat. She stared at Kylee, wide-eyed. “What did you just say?” The words barely escaped her lips, disbelief evident in her tone.

Kylee’s lips curled into a cruel smirk. “What? Are you trying to say that you were unaware of it? Don’t make me laugh.”

Belinda exchanged a quick glance with Lucas, composing herself.

She took a deep breath. “Kylee, I take full responsibility for everything I’ve done, but I will not let you pin something on me that I had no part in. As for the nude photos and the assault, I only just learned about it. It wasn’t me.”

Kylee bellowed defiantly, “Stop feigning innocence! If it wasn’t you, then who else could it possibly be?” She didn’t believe a word Belinda said.

Belinda remained composed. “You said it was me. Do you have any proof of that?”

Kylee’s voice rose in frustration. “Proof? The men who kidnapped me—they let something slip. One of them mentioned ‘Miss Wright’. Are you seriously going to stand there and tell me it wasn’t you?”

Belinda exhaled slowly, piecing together the truth.

Someone had clearly tried to frame her.

Belinda said, “Kylee, why are you so foolish? If I wanted to send someone after you, do you think I would be stupid enough to tell them my last name? Did it never cross your mind that this so-called slip-up was intentional? That you were meant to believe it was me who did that to you?”
