Chapter 403



“It was very late; you were already asleep,” Kenia responded. After a brief pause, Holley asked, “Did something happen?”

After a moment of silence, Kenia let out a heavy sigh and replied, “Belinda and Lucas got divorced.”

“What?” Sarai gasped, her face a picture of disbelief.

Holley was just as shocked. “They got a divorce? When did this happen?”

“Yesterday,” Kenia answered in a calm voice.

“Why?” Holley asked, clearly confused.

“They just aren’t right for each other,” Kenia explained plainly.

Holley bit her lip. “So, Belinda… She must have been devastated, right?”

Kenia nodded with a sigh. “Yes, she cried for hours last night. But this is something she has to face. Once the emotions pass, she’ll heal.”

“What a shame. How could they just divorce like this?” Sarai said. However, deep down, Sarai couldn’t deny the slight joy she felt. The divorce was, in fact, good news for her.

“Just remember, don’t bring the matter up in front of Belinda,” Kenia said.

“Understood,” Sarai replied.

“Don’t worry, Mom. I won’t,” Holley said.

ɢ𝓪𝓵𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵𝓼.c𝓸m hosts the latest When Belinda arrived at the hospital, she grabbed a quick breakfast in the cafeteria before heading to the locker room to change. Just as she was about to leave, she bumped into Kylee.

Kylee smiled and asked, “Belinda, can we have a word?”

Belinda furrowed her brows slightly, pausing before nodding.

The two walked to a corner to talk in private.

“What do you want to say?” Belinda asked.

Kylee wasted no time.

With a calm tone, she asked, “Belinda, doesn’t it sting to be wrongly accused?”

Belinda’s eyebrows twitched in response, her eyes narrowing as she fixed Kylee with a piercing look. What was she trying to say?

Kylee quickly continued, “Funny thing, I happened to witness you and Verena having a heated argument at the banquet that day.”

Belinda’s gaze sharpened, her pupils narrowing.

Seeing Belinda silent, Kylee said, “I saw it myself… Verena tripped and fell down the stairs on her own. You didn’t push her. But… What difference does it make? No one believes you. Even with Harold speaking in your defense, people still believe you were the one who pushed Verena.”

Kylee shook her head in mock resignation. “Belinda, tell me… Would you like me to help clear your name?”

Belinda couldn’t help but let out a laugh. If Kylee genuinely wanted to help her, would she have waited until now? Besides, she knew Kylee would relish nothing more than seeing her condemned by everyone. So why, all of a sudden, would she offer to help her now?

Kylee clearly wanted something from her. That was why she brought the matter up now.
