Chapter 518



Kylee appeared taken aback. Hadn’t Belinda and Lucas divorced? Why was Lucas still defending Belinda like that?

Lyle seemed puzzled. “Lucas, correct me if I’m wrong, but you and Belinda are divorced, right?” he asked.

Lucas’s expression didn’t change, his voice resolute. “So what? Divorced or not, she is still mine! Or did you think you could bully her just because she and I aren’t together anymore?”

Lyle’s frustration was evident. “I am not bullying her. Just look at what she did to Kylee’s face! Who’s the real bully?”

Lucas didn’t even look at Kylee, her battered face of no concern to him.

“Then she deserved it!” Lucas retorted sharply. “Being hit by Belinda was an honor for her.”

He then turned to Belinda, parting his lips slightly as he said, “Did you enjoy it? If you want to hit her again, go ahead. No one will dare stop you when I’m here.” His gaze was icy as he glanced at Lyle and Kylee, his demeanor threatening.

The room fell silent.

Everyone was taken aback by Lucas’s brazen and irrational stance.

Belinda felt a stir in her heart but quickly masked it, maintaining an indifferent demeanor.

Lyle stared at Lucas, disbelief written across his face. “Lucas, have you lost your senses? You are not being rational here!” he said.

Kylee looked at Lucas, her emotions a tumult of anger and jealousy.

She knew Belinda and Lucas were no longer together. Why was Lucas still defending Belinda so fiercely?

Lucas smirked, his smile confident. “I’ve always been irrational when it comes to those I care about. I stand by my people, not the facts. If you don’t know that, you really don’t know me at all.”

At that moment, Johnson couldn’t suppress a smile and chimed in, “Lucas, Belinda says Kylee hit herself and then tried to frame her.”

Upon hearing that, Lucas let out a cold chuckle, his tone sharp. “In that case, Kylee deserves to be hit even more.”

Belinda rose calmly from her chair and said to Lucas, “Thank you for defending me, Mr. Clark. But we’re already divorced. I have nothing to do with you now. Please, don’t refer to me as your woman in the future. I want to avoid any misunderstandings.”

Lucas’s face tensed slightly.

Bethany silently cheered Belinda’s forthrightness, giving her a thumbs-up in her heart.

Belinda then turned to Lyle. “Whether you believe me or Kylee doesn’t really matter to me. What I do mind, however, is being wrongly accused.”

She then took out her phone and tapped it a few times.

Soon after, a voice resonated from the speaker.

“Guess who I’m having lunch with?”

At the sound of that unmistakable voice, Kylee’s face instantly drained of color.
