Chapter 519



“Shut it off. Now!” Kylee shouted, lunging forward in a panic to snatch Belinda’s phone.

Belinda deftly dodged her.

At that moment, Bethany pushed Kylee back. “What do you think you’re doing?” she said.

Johnson laughed. “Why are you so anxious, Miss Wright? Got something to hide?”

Kylee’s eyes were fixed on the phone in Belinda’s hand.

She looked desperate to destroy it.

Her frantic reaction made the situation painfully obvious to everyone.

Lyle’s face darkened, though he still clung to a sliver of hope that Kylee hadn’t lied.

The recording played on, the sound of slaps echoing through the room.

Then, Belinda’s voice was heard clearly. “Kylee, have you lost your mind? Why would you hit yourself like that?”

Then, Lyle heard Kylee say smugly, “Do you think Lyle will believe I did this to myself?”

Lyle’s expression darkened further.

He turned to Kylee, his face one of utter disbelief.

He was stunned by the revelation.

Realizing how foolish he had been defending Kylee just moments ago, he felt like a fool.

“Lyle, n-no, it’s not like that! Let me explain!” Kylee stammered, her voice tinged with desperation.

Bethany quickly interjected, “The evidence speaks for itself. What is there to explain? What? Are you going to claim Belinda foresaw this and fabricated a recording to frame you?”

Her voice was thick with sarcasm.

Kylee froze, rendered speechless.

She shot Belinda a venomous look.

This was all Belinda’s fault!

She was so cunning. Who would’ve guessed she would record everything secretly?

But Belinda hadn’t recorded the incident to target Kylee; it was merely a precaution.

After all, being framed and left defenseless was an experience she never wanted to go through again.

Ever since Verena had framed her by faking an accident, Darren had advised her to take such precautions for her protection.

Lyle approached Belinda and said, “I’m very sorry for everything today.”

Without waiting for Belinda’s reply, he swiftly left the room.

“Lyle! Lyle!” Kylee called after him in desperation.

She quickly left to chase after him.
