Chapter 299



“Are you sure about that? Are you sure you won’t feel any regret in the future?” Vincent asked, his brows raised.

Lucas chuckled coldly at this. “Who do you think will have regrets after I divorce Belinda?” he asked, his tone calm.

Vincent lightly shrugged. He picked up his drink and raised it in a toast. “Here’s to your soon-to-be single life, my friend.”

Lucas clinked his glass with Vincent’s before taking a sip.

Belinda and Bethany, on the other hand, were chatting when a woman in a yellow evening dress approached them.

“Ms. Wright, Ms. Yates. Minna and the others are over there on the sofa. Why don’t you go and join them? It’ll be more fun with everyone together,” the woman said with a smile.

Belinda and Bethany exchanged a brief glance before deciding to join them. After all, Minna was the star of the party this time. It was only right that she be shown some respect.

When Belinda and Bethany approached the group, the topic of discussion was Minna’s necklace.

It was a limited-edition necklace, worth a fortune. The necklace was passed to Belinda and Bethany immediately after they sat down.

Belinda took a quick look at the necklace before handing it to Bethany. Bethany also took a look at it and then gave it to someone else.

When women gathered like this, they tended to talk about jewelry, handbags, and similar things.

It was quite tedious and uninteresting for Belinda and Bethany. They exchanged resigned glances. However, they had no choice but to sit through it.

Finally, Minna was called away, and the group of women naturally dispersed. Belinda and Bethany immediately got up to leave.

Belinda had just taken a few steps when someone bumped into her from behind. She staggered and almost fell, but Bethany caught her before she could hit the ground. Her handbag, however, was not so lucky and thudded onto the floor.

“I’m so sorry!” came a voice behind Belinda and Bethany. It was the woman in the yellow dress who had called them over earlier.

“I am so sorry. I wasn’t looking at where I was going just now,” the woman in the yellow dress, Macie, said apologetically.

“It’s alright,” Belinda said in a calm tone as she bent to retrieve her handbag.

“Let me get it for you,” Macie offered, moving ahead of Belinda to pick up the bag. However, when she picked it up, she didn’t immediately return it to Belinda. Instead, she seemed to inspect it for a moment.

Suddenly, with a smile, Macie turned around and handed the bag back to Belinda. “I’ve checked for any damages to the bag for you. There are none,” she said.

Belinda’s eyes narrowed as she stared at Macie. After a while, she took the handbag from Macie with a nod and walked away with Bethany.

“I don’t know why she was in such a rush that she bumped into you like that,” Bethany commented.

Belinda just smiled, saying nothing.
