Chapter 621



Lucas couldn’t help but smile when he saw Belinda. He turned to Johnson and said, “Belinda is here.”

“Aren’t you going over to say hello?”

Johnson blinked at him. “Uh… I guess?”

“Perfect. I’ll come with you,” Lucas said smoothly.

Johnson couldn’t help but let out a chuckle at that. He gave Lucas a sidelong glance before heading in Belinda’s direction.

Lucas followed him without missing a beat.

As the two men approached Belinda, the guests all turned their attention toward them. Among the crowd, there was one person whose eyes were filled with malice, watching the scene unfold.

To be precise, that venomous glare was fixed on Belinda.

Kylee had spent the last few days locked up in her room. She had been in denial at first, unable to accept what had happened to her. She had been devastated but had eventually come to terms with the reality. She wasn’t sure how she had even managed to pull through after the incident.

Kylee had felt like she was constantly teetering on the edge of a mental breakdown. But then, she had realized that there was nothing she could do to change the past. She had no choice but to move forward.

That didn’t mean she was just going to let the matter slide, though. She was determined to get her revenge!

But at the same time, she knew she couldn’t give in to her impulses and act recklessly. Belinda still had those compromising photos of her, after all. And there was also the matter of Lucas…

These days, Lucas had been increasingly attentive to Belinda. Kylee believed she needed to figure out a way to drive a wedge between Lucas and Belinda before making her move.

If she acted too rashly, she might be left with nothing. And she would rather die than let that happen!

With these thoughts swirling in her head, Kylee forced herself to calm down.

Lucas and Johnson exchanged pleasantries with Belinda for a while. Then, some guests approached Lucas for conversation.

Belinda, on the other hand, was approached by a woman.

Belinda was in the back garden. “Miss Davidson,” she said as she looked at the woman. “What do you want to talk to me about?”

The woman was Devin’s younger sister, Carmelita Davidson.

Carmelita didn’t mince her words. “I wanted to tell you to stay away from my brother!”

Belinda frowned. “I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean, Miss Davidson. As far as I’m concerned, there is nothing going on between your brother and me.”

Carmelita barked out a humorless laugh. “Nothing? If that’s true, then you wouldn’t have gone on a date with him! I’m aware that Mrs. Thomas and Mr. Clark have been trying to set you up with potential matches. I don’t care whom you date, but it can never be my brother! You’re a divorced woman, and your ex-husband is none other than Lucas Clark! He and my brother have always had a good relationship. If my brother ends up with you, how do you expect him to face Lucas in the future? People would talk behind our backs. My family would become a laughingstock!”
