Chapter 298



Yet now… Macie could hardly believe that was really Darwin!

She turned to look at Minna, whose expression had darkened with rage. She realized that Belinda was about to get into trouble soon.

Minna had a history of harshly dealing with any woman who dared to get close to Darwin.

Macie pressed her lips together for a moment and then said, “Belinda is really cherished by Santino and his wife. She is like a daughter to them.”

Minna sneered with clear disdain. “She is just a friend to them, not really related to them. They wouldn’t do much for her.”

Macie fell silent. She realized that despite Belinda’s association with the Thomas family, Minna was not the type to back down easily. Belinda was on her own in this situation.

Lucas, too, watched Belinda and Darwin with a grim expression.

Vincent, intrigued, asked, “How is Belinda acquainted with the CEO of the BergWind Group?”

Lucas’ response was sharp, his brows furrowing as he asked in return, “The CEO of the BergWind Group?”

“Yes,” Vincent replied. “That man is Darwin Lambert, the CEO of the BergWind Group. I have seen him a few times due to his company’s recent partnerships with my family.”

The BergWind Group was a rising star now. Originating from Chixdon, it had successfully penetrated the Owathe market in just half a decade, establishing its powerful influence.

“Darwin and Belinda seem to know each other quite well,” Vincent said.

Lucas’ tone remained cold as he said, “They are hardly close. Belinda just happened to save his aunt on the street before.”

This jogged Vincent’s memory. He said, “So it was Darwin’s aunt whom Belinda saved before? The one from that news story?”

“Yes,” Lucas replied.

Vincent chuckled and then said, “Belinda has really changed a lot! Not only her looks and physique, but her whole presence is also different. She once revolved only around you, always seeking to charm you, engaging in acts that drew criticism. Essentially, you were her entire world before. But now, she is a whole new person—quite fascinating! That act of heroism, with all the media coverage, made her seem almost like an angel. She is indeed captivating now.”

Vincent paused for a moment and then continued, “You know, there’s talk going around. Once you and Belinda finalize your divorce, there are quite a few people ready to pursue Belinda.”

Lucas’ expression turned grim at these comments. His eyes narrowed, a storm of jealousy and anger brewing inside him.

These people were so bold! They dared to consider chasing after his wife?

Noticing the subtle change in Lucas’ demeanor, Vincent quickly shifted the subject, saying, “Anyway, Harold’s birthday is only a week away. Is it true that you and Belinda are planning to get a divorce right after his birthday party?”

Lucas grew thoughtful upon hearing this. After a short while of silence, he said with certainty, “Of course.”
