Chapter 954



“Great! This is perfect!” Kylee’s excitement was palpable. She could already envision Belinda’s misery if she were infected. The mere thought made her excited.

“But are you sure about this? Think it over; Belinda is still, in a way, your sister. Do you really want to take it this far?” Verena asked, her concern feigned.

Kylee’s expression twisted in revulsion.

“Sister? What a joke! My mother is Carola, the eldest daughter of the Happer family, one of the four most powerful families in Soling. She only has one daughter, and that is me. I don’t have a sister!” Nothing could alter that fact.

Verena smiled and said, “Alright! Since you’re determined, make sure your plan is foolproof. It has to succeed.”

After ending the call, Kylee was so excited that she couldn’t sleep.

The following day.

Belinda was overwhelmed with work all morning, hardly finding time to drink some water. When she finally took a break near lunchtime, she collapsed into her chair, gulped down a large glass of water, and closed her eyes to rest.

Just then, her phone began to ring.

It rang persistently before she managed to retrieve it from her white coat.

“Hello…”

“What’s wrong, Belinda? You sound exhausted,” Kenia said in a concerned voice.

Belinda responded, “I’m fine, Grandma. Just a hectic morning; I’m a bit tired. Why are you calling me?”

“No matter how busy you are, you must take care of yourself. Don’t overwork yourself, alright?” Kenia said gently.

“I understand, Grandma. Don’t worry, I know what to do,” Belinda replied, smiling.

After a brief pause, Kenia said, “Come home for dinner tonight.”

Belinda hesitated briefly before responding, “Alright, I’ll be there after work.”

Kenia chuckled.

“Good! I’m cooking.”

“Then I’m in for a treat!” Belinda said, smiling.

“Alright, I won’t bother you any longer. Get some rest. I’ll see you tonight,” Kenia said.

“Okay.” After ending the call, Belinda stood and made her way to the lounge. She was too worn out to eat—she just needed to sleep.

In the evening, after work, Belinda drove to Vera Villas. Dinners with her family were usually warm and cheerful.

After the meal, Kenia stood and said to Sarai, “Sarai, come take a walk with me—it’s good for digestion.”

“Alright,” Sarai agreed.

With that, the two left. Now, only Belinda and Holley remained in the spacious house.
