His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 634:

She clicked her tongue and shook her head in disbelief. “What a psycho! Being liked by someone that obsessive is the worst! I immediately knew something was wrong when I realized I was locked inside the restroom. Even after I got out, I couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling that crept over me. So when I went back to the hall and couldn’t find you, Belinda, I panicked.”

She reached out and squeezed Belinda’s hand. “Thank goodness you’re okay.”

“Minna messed with the wrong person this time around,” Johnson remarked, giving Belinda a thumbs-up. “She got exactly what she deserved.”

“That waiter who identified Minna—was he one of yours?” Bethany asked.

Belinda nodded. “He’s one of Lucas’ men. I had him pose as a waiter to lead you over, and I told him to say Minna had orchestrated everything.”

Bethany looked impressed. “He sounded so convincing. I really believed he had a recording!”

Belinda chuckled softly. “He didn’t, but the real waiter did. I also figured Rhys wouldn’t allow him to play the recording in everyone’s presence.”noveldrama

“But why didn’t you tell Mrs. Thomas about this, Belinda?” Bethany asked.

Belinda replied, “First of all, I didn’t want her to worry about me. Second, if Mollie caught wind of the incident, she would be furious. I’d bet good money she would seek retribution and go after the Williamson family. The Williamson family is one of the top eight families. They’re not exactly easy to deal with. I don’t want to trouble Mollie and her family with my personal matters.”

Bethany understood what she meant.

“I’ll handle Minna,” Lucas suddenly declared. His tone left no room for argument.

Even so, Belinda tried to protest, saying, “That’s not necessary.”

“I can’t.”

“Don’t refuse me,” Lucas interjected. He fixed Belinda with a deep, intense gaze and continued, “It’s my duty to do this for the one I love.”

Belinda blinked, not knowing how to react.

Johnson chimed in, “Just let Lucas deal with this. I’m sure he’ll take care of it.”

“Exactly!” Bethany added.

Belinda said nothing more.

Bethany was still worried about Belinda, so she stayed at Belinda’s place that night.

The next day, at the Cardiac Surgery Department of the Grand Plains General Hospital, a nurse came up to Belinda and said, “Miss Wright, someone is here to see you.”

“Okay, thank you.” Belinda quickly exited her office.

She froze when she saw the unexpected visitor.

“Dr. Wright,” Devin said, his expression serious. “Can we talk?”

“Sure,” Belinda replied. Despite her doubts, she agreed.
