Chapter 935



“Dr. Wright, I’m so sorry! Everything I did was of my own volition—my father and my family had nothing to do with it. If you seek retribution, direct it at me! Just please… please convince Mr. Clark to spare my family!”

With that, she lifted her trembling hand and began slapping herself repeatedly, the sharp sound echoing through the tense room.

Their family business was insignificant in Lucas’ eyes. He could bring their entire company to ruin easily, dismantling everything they had built.

No matter what, she had to earn Belinda’s forgiveness today.

Belinda, however, remained utterly unmoved by her pleas and actions. She knew all too well that Jennifer’s apology stemmed from fear of Lucas, not from any genuine remorse for her past misdeeds. Moreover, the appalling things Jennifer had said to her before were far too fresh in her mind for forgiveness to even be considered.

“Take them away.”

Belinda didn’t even need to utter the words—Lucas gave the command to Gordon, his tone cold and final.

“Dr. Wright, Mr. Clark! Please, just this once—show us mercy!” Sanford pleaded, his voice cracking.

“Mr. Clark, I beg you, let us go!” Jennifer wailed, her voice high-pitched with desperation.

Once they were gone, Belinda turned to Lucas and asked, her voice calm but curious, “What exactly did you do to their family?”

Lucas smirked with a casual air.

“Nothing much. Just messed with their company a little.”

Belinda smiled faintly, pressing her lips together before softly murmuring, “Thank you.”

Lucas cast her a sidelong glance, amusement flickering in his gaze.

“Just a simple thank you? That feels a bit insincere, don’t you think?”

Belinda merely rolled her eyes, turned toward the door, and said, her tone laced with impatience, “Just take me back to work.”

“Alright.” Lucas observed her walk away with an affectionate smile adorning his face.

That evening, instead of heading home after work, Belinda made her way to a sprawling shopping mall. Earlier that afternoon, Nigel had called, his voice unusually insistent, urging her to join him for dinner that night. He had claimed he wanted to apologize for Carmelita’s behavior last time.

Belinda had initially refused, but after his persistent invitations and hearing the genuine remorse in his tone, she had eventually agreed. After picking up a few items at the mall, Belinda drove straight to the Davidson estate.

As Belinda arrived at the Davidson estate, she was caught off guard when she found Nigel and Devin waiting for her outside. That alone made her feel an unexpected sense of pressure.
