Chapter 323



Debra hesitated for a moment. She felt this version of Belinda was a bit scary. But with Percy unable to get close to Belinda, she had no choice but to take action. Their entire plan hinged on her now.

Summoning her courage, Debra approached Belinda, who was still swaying to the beat of her own off-key performance. “Belinda, it’s me, Debra! You’ve had too much to drink. Let me take you home now, okay?”

The moment her hand brushed Belinda’s arm, she found herself airborne. Belinda effortlessly flipped her over, sending her crashing to the floor.

“Ahhh!” Debra cried out, writhing in pain.

“Debra!” Percy hobbled over to help her up.

Meanwhile, Belinda clapped her hands in delight. “This is so much fun! Get up; let’s do it again!”

With a loud shout, she leaped into the air, executing a spinning kick before landing gracefully in a combat stance.

Debra and Percy exchanged wide-eyed looks of disbelief. They now believed Belinda really knew how to fight.

Percy whispered to Debra, “What should we do now? We can’t even get close to her.”

Debra’s face was tight with worry. She hadn’t expected things to spiral out of control like this. Who would’ve guessed Belinda would behave this way after getting drunk? And the reflexes on her! She and her brother couldn’t even get close to her, no matter how hard they tried.

Calling for help wasn’t an option. If Belinda remembered everything the next day, it would ruin everything. But this was an opportunity too good to waste. If they let it slip through their fingers, there was no telling if another chance like this would come again. Could they really just give up?

Yet, what else could they do? Belinda was very drunk now, unpredictable, lashing out at anyone who got close to her.

In a low voice, Percy muttered, “Maybe we should just give up this time.”

Debra bit her lip, her frustration spilling over as she watched Belinda switch to another song.

Debra hadn’t thought much of Belinda at first. But over time, she had come to realize just how much sway Belinda held within the Thomas family.

She and her mother had discussed the matter, and they wanted to use Belinda to solidify their position within the Thomas family.

Debra believed that since Mollie and Santino valued Belinda so much, if Belinda married her brother, it would surely make her small family closer to Mollie and Santino.

At first, Debra had planned to play it safe. She had only let Belinda and Percy spend time together naturally and wanted to see if Belinda would develop feelings for Percy. After all, that was the safest and most enduring approach.

But Belinda had turned out to be almost impossible to get close to.

Every time she tried to invite Belinda out, Belinda would either outright refuse her or bring Darren along. And when Darren was around, she and Percy didn’t dare make a single move. Darren would have seen through their intentions in a heartbeat.

So, Debra had been forced to take drastic measures. She wanted to get Belinda drunk and let something happen between Belinda and Percy…

Tonight was supposed to be the perfect chance for that. But Belinda, drunk and uncontrollable, had thrown everything into chaos. Debra and Percy were unable to even touch her.
