Chapter 1002



Lucas said nothing. His handsome face was cold.

“Did you catch him?” he finally asked a minute later.

Gordon nodded. “We did manage to capture Aiken. Our people are interrogating him as we speak, but I’m afraid there has been no progress so far.”

“Keep at it,” Lucas said. “Pry that bastard’s mouth open if you have to. Also, you need to…”

Lucas gave Gordon several more instructions.

“Yes, Mr. Clark. I’ll take care of it right away!” Gordon replied.

Shortly after Gordon exited the office, Lucas also got up and left.

He drove back to Belinda’s place and called Bethany.

Bethany quickly answered the call. “Hello?”

“I’m outside Belinda’s place,” Lucas said. “Open the door for me. I have something important to tell Belinda.”

There was a brief silence before Bethany said, “Okay.”

She had promised Belinda not to let Lucas in, but Lucas did say that this was about something important. She felt like she had no choice but to let him in.

Once inside the house, Lucas headed upstairs to Belinda’s room with Bethany.

Belinda’s face changed the moment she saw Lucas, but she was able to school her expression in the next second. She lowered her gaze, refusing to look at Lucas.

Lucas’ heart broke at the sight of Belinda’s pale face.

She had lost weight. Her once delicate features had grown more pronounced.

“Belinda—” Lucas began. He wanted to ask about her health, but she cut him off before he could utter another word.

“What brings you here, Mr. Clark?” Belinda said.

Lucas’ chest tightened at the formal way she addressed him.

“We found the culprit who hired those brothers,” he said directly.

Belinda’s head jerked up, and she turned to look at him. “Who is it?”

“Kylee,” Lucas said.

At the mention of the name, Belinda’s brows knitted together slightly, yet her composed face betrayed little surprise.

She seemed to have anticipated this.

Bethany’s reaction was starkly different. Her mouth fell open in shock, and her body shook with anger. “It’s Kylee? Has she lost her mind? And Belinda and she are half-sisters! How could she do something so cruel to Belinda?”

Lucas’ gaze softened as he turned to Belinda. “Would you like to join me to hear what Kylee has to say?”

Belinda didn’t reply. Instead, she walked into the dressing room. There, she changed her clothes and applied makeup, determined not to appear unkempt before Kylee.

If Kylee saw her being so pale, it would only give her more satisfaction. Once ready, Belinda joined Lucas in his car.

On the way, Lucas, wearing a hurt expression, couldn’t resist asking, “Belinda, why did you block my number again? Didn’t you promise not to do that?”
