Chapter 862



“Get Kylee to the phone, too. I need to discuss something important with both of you,” Holley said, her tone grave.

“Alright,” Baker replied.

After a while, Kylee’s voice came through the phone.

“What’s going on?”

Holley’s voice wavered slightly as she spoke into the phone.

“Kylee, do you know about Belinda’s incident? And how Mr. Clark saved her in the end? That night, you called me and asked me to tell Belinda to go out the next day. Was that related to this incident?”

When Kylee heard Holley’s words, her expression immediately darkened. The memory of the video she had seen of Lucas shielding Belinda with his own body resurfaced in her mind, making her seethe with jealousy. Belinda didn’t deserve that!

Taking a sharp breath, Kylee finally admitted, “Yes, that’s right.”

Holley fell silent, unsure of how to respond.

A bitter sneer laced Kylee’s words.

“What’s this? Are you suddenly feeling sorry for her? You found out your precious daughter almost died, and now, you can’t bear it?”

Hearing the accusation, Holley panicked.

Lᴀτєѕτ chⲁρτєrs ιn g𝓪l𝗇ovєls.𝑎𝓂 “That’s not it! What precious daughter? You’re my precious daughter, Kylee! Belinda doesn’t mean anything to me. Of course, I don’t feel sorry for her. I was just surprised; that’s all.”

She paused briefly, lowering her voice.

“But, Kylee, there’s something you should know. Just now, Belinda asked me about our phone call that night. She wanted to know what we talked about during those five minutes. I was taken aback when she asked. Then, I quickly explained that you called me to tell me not to go to the Wright family’s residence anymore. But think about it, if she knows about that call, it means Lucas must have had someone investigate us. Either me or you.”

Kylee’s hand tightened around her phone as a flicker of panic crossed her face.

Standing nearby, Baker frowned deeply and spoke in a low voice.

“From now on, limit your contact as much as possible. Even if you two need to contact each other, don’t use your current phone numbers. I’ll get you new SIM cards later, and you can use those to communicate.” The gravity of the recent incident hung heavy in the air, serving as a sharp reminder. Given the nature of Kylee and Holley’s relationship, any private communication between them would raise suspicions. Baker knew they couldn’t afford that risk.

After a pause, he continued, “And unless it’s absolutely unavoidable, avoid meeting in private. Mr. Clark might be tracking your movements. We can’t let Kylee’s real identity come to light. Belinda mustn’t grow suspicious, either. If either of those happens, it’s game over for us!”
