Chapter 582



But Johnson furrowed his brow slightly, remaining silent.

Seeing his expression, Bethany inquired, “What’s wrong, Johnson?”

Johnson faced both Belinda and Bethany, his tone serious. “Don’t you find several aspects of this incident odd? The timing, the location, and how that car just appeared out of nowhere.”

Bethany’s mouth dropped open in shock. “Wait, what are you suggesting? That Holley orchestrated this car accident?”

“Yeah,” Johnson said. “She could be using this to gain Belinda’s sympathy. Consider this: Belinda had lost trust in her, wasn’t forgiving her, and had even stopped speaking to her. Maybe she became desperate and devised this plan. Holley appeared just as Belinda was about to cross the street. The timing is suspicious. And frankly, the injuries your mother sustained are relatively mild for a car accident.”

Belinda frowned as a grave expression settled on her face.

Johnson maintained his gaze on Belinda. “Holley sought your forgiveness as soon as she woke up, right? In such a scenario, even if you didn’t want to forgive her, seeing her injured for your sake would naturally sway you to forgive her, wouldn’t it?”

Belinda’s lips parted slightly, but no words came out; she was lost in thought, processing his words.

For a moment, Bethany was also at a loss for words.

gⱯlnσν𝓮ℓs․cøm, your destination for tales Johnson appeared to suddenly recall something and spoke again. “I forgot to mention this earlier; Lucas met with your mother yesterday.”

“He threatened her and even terminated a bank loan meant for your father’s company as a punishment for her behavior, trying to hurt you before. It seems your mother might be quite desperate to regain your forgiveness. She was just threatened by Lucas yesterday, and today, you were nearly hit by a car, only to be saved by her. Doesn’t the timing seem overly coincidental?”

Belinda stared at Johnson, stunned. She hadn’t known about these things before. Now, even Bethany was starting to think there was something amiss about the car accident.

Johnson sighed softly. “I don’t want to assume the worst about your mother, but given all that has occurred, her actions are indeed questionable.”

He gently patted Belinda’s shoulder. “So… Stay cautious. Don’t let this incident cloud your judgment. The deepest wounds often come from family, because those betrayals are the least expected,” he said, his voice laden with sincere concern.

After a lengthy silence, Belinda nodded. “I understand. I’ll be cautious. Don’t worry.”

“That’s good. Let’s head back inside,” Johnson said.

The three of them returned to Holley’s hospital room.
