Chapter 347



Belinda answered, “Mollie must have her reasons for this.”

Bethany bit her lip and fell silent.

Meanwhile, Baker, Kylee’s father, was mingling with people at the event.

“Mr. Wright, you’ve certainly raised your daughters well!”

“Absolutely! Both of your daughters are doctors at the Grand Plains General Hospital now. That’s quite impressive!”

“Mr. Wright, here’s my card. Let’s make sure our families keep in touch.”

“Mr. Wright, here’s my business card.”

Keep us in mind for any future business opportunities!”

Baker had received so many business cards that day. A smile never left his face. He walked with a spring in his step, feeling victorious. Kylee truly was his lucky charm!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Vincent glanced at Baker with contempt. He looked at Lucas and asked, “Lucas, what’s your take on the Thomas couple? Doesn’t their behavior seem a bit odd? It feels rushed and suspicious.”

Lucas had been watching Belinda eat the cake. Upon hearing this, he shifted his gaze and calmly replied, “If there’s anything off, we’ll find out soon enough.” He sensed that the situation was more complex than it seemed.

At that moment, Belinda excused herself to use the restroom. She entered a stall and closed the door, only to overhear a conversation.

“Kylee really got lucky this time! She happened to save Mrs. Thomas! Why can’t I get a chance like that?”

“Maybe you should hang around the Thomas family’s residence and follow Mrs. Thomas. Eventually, you’ll get your shot!”

“Get out of here! I’m not that desperate!”

“I overheard people saying that Kylee might become close to the Thomas family from now on. If that happens, it’ll be really interesting!”

“If that happens, Belinda might have to watch her step!”

“It’ll serve her right! Let’s see if Belinda dares to be so arrogant now!”

“Alright, the banquet’s starting soon. Let’s go; we can’t miss this.”

“Exactly. Let’s go!”

The restroom grew silent again soon after.

Even though Belinda had heard everything, her face remained impassive, as though their words didn’t concern her. She returned to the venue just as the banquet was about to start.

Since only Mollie had arrived today, with neither Santino nor Darren present, Mollie was the only person to step onto the stage. Standing behind the microphone, Mollie smiled warmly at the crowd, saying, “This evening’s banquet is mainly to show my gratitude to Kylee for her life-saving act.” While speaking, Mollie looked towards Kylee in the audience and called out, “Kylee, please join me on stage now.”

Kylee gently pressed her lips together for a moment, lifted the edge of her dress, and made her way to the stage with poise. Her attire tonight was breathtakingly elegant, and her bold, vibrant makeup captured everyone’s gaze. Upon reaching the stage, Mollie continued her words of gratitude.

Kylee smiled softly and replied, “Mrs. Thomas, you’re too kind. In a situation like yesterday’s, anyone would have done the same thing.”
