Chapter 657



Bethany thought for a moment and decided not to make a move.

Belinda, catching Verena’s eye, smirked derisively. “You seem to have a knack for bumping into walls, don’t you?”

Verena was confused, not understanding what Belinda meant.

Before she could respond, Belinda made her way purposefully toward her.

Her strides were brisk, exuding evident aggression. When Verena saw Belinda’s demeanor, a wave of fear washed over her, causing her heart to race.

Before Verena could utter a word, Belinda seized her by the hair and thrust her head against the wall twice. The resonant sound of the impacts reverberated, sending a shiver through everyone present.

Verena’s cries for help pierced the air. “Ah—ah! Help! Lucas, save me!”

“Belinda! Stop it! Have you lost your mind?” Ryan yelled, shocked by Belinda’s actions.

After releasing Verena’s hair, Belinda nonchalantly wiped her hands, as if cleaning off filth.

She faced Verena with a malevolent smile. “You seem to like wall-smashing, so I made sure you got enough this time!”

Bethany couldn’t suppress a grin, feeling a sense of relief. Of course, Belinda wouldn’t let herself be taken advantage of!

Belinda’s act left Lucas momentarily stunned.

“Belinda! You’ve crossed the line this time!” Ryan exclaimed, his voice shaking with rage.

Verena, overcome with pain, began to cry, stunned by the brutality of the attack.

She had never expected Belinda to resort to such violence.

Yet, at the same time, she was pleased.

With Belinda’s extreme behavior witnessed by Lucas, surely he would think poorly of her and scold her. Such a reaction from Lucas would only deepen Belinda’s disappointment in him.

“Lucas! Did you see what happened to Verena? You should do something!” Ryan said, unable to contain himself.

At that moment, Lucas stepped forward to stand in front of Belinda.

His expression was stoic, his deep eyes betraying no emotion.

Belinda looked up at him and smirked, tauntingly inquiring, “What now? Are you planning to avenge Miss Reed, Mr. Clark?”

“I’ll take you home now,” Lucas said, his voice deep and rough.

A wave of shock passed through everyone around when they heard Lucas’ words.

They hadn’t expected Lucas to just say that.
