Chapter 351



The moment Mollie finished speaking, Kylee’s and Baker’s faces went pale. The guests exchanged nervous glances. It was clear to everyone that Mollie was taking a stand for Belinda.

Bethany leaned closer and whispered to Belinda, “Mrs. Thomas really has your back!”

Belinda smiled gently, moved by the gesture.

“I will apologize to her!” Kylee blurted out. She quickly stepped off the stage and made her way toward Belinda, her steps heavy and reluctant.

Standing before Belinda, Kylee took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and then said, “Belinda, I’m sorry. I misspoke and falsely accused you that day. I truly apologize and hope you can forgive my mistake.”

Though Kylee’s words seemed sincere, the look in her eyes revealed her true feelings. She was clearly angry.

Belinda couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh inwardly, a hint of mockery flashing across her face.

She nodded slightly. “Since you’re so sincere in your apology, how could I not forgive you? But remember to be more cautious with your words in the future, Kylee. I’m sure you understand how easily words can lead to trouble.”

Belinda’s smile remained unwavering as she spoke.

Meanwhile, Kylee’s face shifted from pale to flushed, a kaleidoscope of emotions playing out. In the end, she stumbled out of the venue in a daze, unsure how she had even managed to leave.

This banquet was truly a revelation for everyone present. Mollie’s move was a stroke of genius, killing three birds with one stone! Those who had been waiting for Belinda’s downfall or trying to win Kylee’s favor were now left humiliated. Who could have anticipated such a turn of events?

After the banquet, Mollie pulled Belinda aside and invited her to stay at the Thomas family’s residence for the night. Back at the Thomas family’s home, Belinda and the others gathered on the sofa.

Mollie finally explained, “Actually, my bodyguards noticed the private detective following me from day one. I wanted to figure out who was behind it and what they were up to, so I waited to see how it all played out.” Mollie chuckled coldly. “When Kylee showed up, I knew she was the one orchestrating everything. I could guess her motives as well.”

It turned out that Mollie’s reactions during the confrontation with the thug had all been an act.

Hearing this, Belinda exclaimed, “So that’s why your bodyguard didn’t intervene at that time! You planned everything from the start!”

Mollie nodded and smiled. “Exactly. Even this banquet is a ‘gift’ I prepared for Kylee—something she will never forget.”

“Yes, it is truly unforgettable for her,” Belinda said, unable to stop herself from smiling.

Not just Kylee, Belinda thought—Baker would surely remember this night as well.

In sharp contrast to the warm atmosphere at the Thomas family’s residence, the Wright family home was filled with tension that night.

As soon as the Wright family members arrived home, Carola snapped at Kylee, “Get down on your knees now!”

Kylee bit her lower lip so hard that it turned white. Her eyes were red-rimmed as she lowered her gaze, slowly sinking to her knees.
