Chapter 585



Despite the director’s words, the buzz about the incident continued throughout the morning.

During her lunch break, Belinda visited Holley in her hospital room.

“Mom, I have some good news to share with you,” Belinda said to Holley.

“What good news?” Holley asked.

Belinda replied, “About the attack on me, there were rumors that I was sexually assaulted by that criminal. But now, there is proof that clears my name.”

Holley’s pupils contracted slightly in surprise. “Proof?”

“Yes! The whole incident was captured on video. It was shown at our doctors’ meeting today, and now, my name is cleared.” As she spoke, Belinda watched Holley for any reaction.

After a brief pause, Holley’s face brightened with joy. “Really? That’s wonderful! Now I can rest easy. Belinda, you can’t imagine how much I’ve been worrying about this, trying to think of ways to help you clear this up. It’s a relief to finally have evidence that clears your name!”

Although Holley had reacted swiftly, the momentary stiffness on her face hadn’t escaped Belinda’s notice.

Belinda managed a slight smile. “Yes, it’s truly a relief.” She struggled to articulate her emotions at that moment.

For a brief time, she felt utterly lost. She couldn’t understand how things had changed like this between her and her mother… Was this change in Holley recent, or had it always been there, unnoticed by her?

Belinda’s mind was in turmoil.

After a short while, she made an excuse and left the room.

That afternoon, she found it difficult to focus on work.

After her shift, instead of visiting Holley, she drove straight to the Thomas family’s residence. She did that partly because Mollie had asked her to go, and partly because she didn’t want to face Holley today.

When Belinda arrived at the Thomas family’s residence, Mollie immediately inquired about the video.

“Belinda, do you have any idea where that video came from?”

Shaking her head, Belinda replied, “I’m not sure.” After a pause, she added, “But I suspect Lucas might be involved.”

Mollie pressed her lips together for a moment and then said, “Today, Santino heard some news…”

“The owner of the plot at 0106 Icewilde Street in Marshmill has changed. It’s now owned by the Forsaken Group.”

She paused, giving Belinda a significant look. “Do you know who owned that land before?”

Belinda’s eyes widened in shock at the news.
