Chapter 1097
His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Verenaâs expression darkened as she said, âSo it was you! Why would you do something like that?â
Although she had desperately wanted Belinda to be infected, she wanted it to be real.
A deception like this wouldnât last foreverâit was bound to be uncovered. And whoever was responsible would be at risk of exposure.
Taking such a reckless risk for a lie that couldnât withstand scrutiny⦠It wasnât worth it.
Kane, however, remained unfazed. âIf Belinda had HIV, Lucas would leave her,â he stated matter-of-factly. âThat would finally give you a chance to be with Lucas, wouldnât it?â
But, of course, that wasnât the only reason.
There was another hidden motiveâone Kane chose not to reveal to Verena. If Belinda believed she was sick, Darwin would have a chance to get close to her.
He could swoop in, offering her comfort, whispering reassurances, and promising her unconditional support.
In her weakest moment, Belinda would be vulnerable. And if Darwin played his cards right, he might really win her heart.
Yet, what Kane hadnât expected was that despite everything, Lucas remained steadfast by Belindaâs side, his unwavering devotion shining through even in the face of adversity. To make matters worse, Harold and Norma also stood firmly behind Belinda, offering their unconditional support.
This made him really frustrated.
Listening to Kaneâs words, Verena felt utterly resigned.
She knew that Lucas loved Belinda so much that he was even willing to risk infection himself.
But Verena had deliberately kept this hidden from Kane.
She believed if Kane realized just how much Lucas cherished Belinda, he might begin to question her worth and even consider her entirely useless.
That was not something she wanted.
âI donât know how Belinda uncovered the truth, but she told me about the matter today,â Verena said. âLucas is undoubtedly digging into this. Are you absolutely certain you covered your tracks? You must ensure that no trace of evidence can lead back to you!â
Kaneâs voice remained calm. âRelax. Thereâs nothing for them to find. I made sure of it. They wonât be able to link anything back to me.â
Verena exhaled, a fraction of her anxiety dissipating.
After exchanging a few more words with Kane, she ended the call.
That day, every employee at the Grand Plains General Hospital received an email.
The contents were shocking. The email confirmed that Belinda had never been infected with HIV. Her initial test results had been falsified.
It turned out that Diego, the director of the Laboratory Department, had been bribed to tamper with Belindaâs blood test results.
As a result, he was dismissed from his position and handed over to the authorities for legal action.
The email served as a stern warningâany medical personnel found engaging in similar misconduct would face the same fate.
At the end of the email, a video file several hours long was attached.
Intrigued by its length, many employees clicked on the video, eager to know what it was about.
