Chapter 288



Once certain they were alone, Belinda asked, “Alright, what’s this?”

Kylee produced a small USB drive and extended it toward Belinda. “Here, take this.”

Belinda hesitated for a moment, eyeing the drive, not taking it. “What is it?” she asked.

Kylee explained, “It’s the surveillance footage from the VIP Emergency Department at our hospital. I had to jump through hoops to get it.”

“This will prove that the photos circulating on social media were taken just a few days ago, not years ago as Verena has been claiming.”

Belinda furrowed her brows as she absorbed the information.

Belinda was taken aback, not having expected Kylee to offer her such a thing.

Kylee, seeing no response from Belinda, sighed deeply, a look of resignation on her face as she explained, “Belinda, I’m at a loss as to why you’ve grown so distant and cold toward me. Even if you don’t regard me as your sister anymore, I need you to understand that you’ll always be my little sister in my eyes. When I came across those two photos on social media, I was outraged, feeling how unjust they were to you. I’ve always cautioned you about Verena—she is more cunning than she seems.”

Kylee paused for a moment, her frustration evident as she bit her lip, her voice tinged with anger. “Seeing her brazenly dismiss those as old photos infuriated me. As your sister, I felt compelled to defend you! Recognizing the hospital backdrop in the photos, I leveraged every contact I had to obtain this security footage. This should help you reveal Verena’s true face.”

With those words, Kylee placed the USB drive firmly into Belinda’s hand.

Belinda’s eyes, almond-shaped and sharp, narrowed as she gazed at the drive. She was skeptical of Kylee’s motives. Testing her true intentions… that would be simple enough.

Suddenly, Belinda looked up at Kylee, her expression softening as if moved. “Thank you, Kylee! I never imagined you would go to such lengths for me. I… I’m not sure how I could ever repay you for this…”

Kylee’s face lit up with a warm smile. “We are sisters. Isn’t it natural for me to help you?”

Belinda’s smile widened in response. “Exactly.”

“It is natural for sisters to help each other. You’ve framed it perfectly! And since you’re so inclined to help me, dear sister, I have a favor to ask.”

“Go ahead,” Kylee replied.

“Well, since you secured the surveillance footage, could you upload it to social media for me?” Belinda asked.

At those words, Kylee visibly stiffened.

When Belinda saw this, her smile took on a sly edge as she said, “Let me explain why I want you to post it for me. If I were to post it and Lucas were to find out, he might resent me or even become angry. That could only sour his view of me, don’t you think? You wouldn’t want to see my marriage suffer, would you?”

Internally, Kylee muttered to herself, “I’d be thrilled to see your marriage crumble. A divorce would be even better!”

After a moment of hesitation, Kylee responded reluctantly, “But… What if Mr. Clark finds out I was the one who posted it? He would surely blame me.”

Belinda replied quickly, “He wouldn’t. Deep down, he will understand you did it for me. As my sister, it’s only right that you would want to see justice served for me. What grounds would he have to blame you? And if he does, I’ll make sure Harold sets him straight.”
