Chapter 560
His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius
Why would Harold consider introducing her to him?
With a slight frown, Belinda asked, âHarold, are you sure about this?â
âAbsolutely,â Harold responded. âDevin has already agreed to meet with you. He said heâs available whenever you are.â
After a brief pause, Belinda said, âHarold, you know how much gossip is swirling around me right now. Wouldnât the Davidson family mind that?â
âIf they minded, I wouldnât even suggest the meeting.â Harold chuckled. âNigel called me last night to ask about your situation. He mentioned that their family isnât concerned about those baseless rumors. So, I think itâs a good idea for you and Devin to meet. Just get to know each other, no pressure. You can start as friends, right?â
With Harold framing it that way, Belinda found it hard to say no.
âAlright, Iâll go and meet him. But, Harold, this should be the last time you try to set me up. I was just joking with you that day when I agreed,â Belinda replied.
âOkay,â Harold said. âThis will be the last time, I promise.â
After ending the call, Belinda went back to her duties.
Later that day, she received a call from Johnson.
He was eager to share some gossipâ¦

âWho is that?â Belinda asked, puzzled.
Johnson replied, âDonn Sugdenâthe one Lucas beat up so badly in the restroom at Happer Restaurant yesterday.â
Belinda suddenly understood everything.
Johnson said, âAfter this incident, I doubt anyone will dare to gossip about you openly anymore.â
After a brief pause, he added, âBelinda, I truly believe Lucas⦠He genuinely cares about you.â
Belindaâs eyes flickered briefly at his words, but her expression remained calm.
She sighed softly. âBut Iâm not the only one he cares about.â
Her comment left Johnson silent.
He was about to say something when Belinda said, âAlright, Iâm busy. Iâll hang up now.â
âOkay,â Johnson replied, deciding not to press further.
After hanging up the phone, Belinda lowered her gaze.
Her long, thick lashes fluttered slightly, and her dark eyes shimmered with complex emotions.
She could definitely sense Lucasâs concern for her.
Butâ¦
She wasnât interested in something that wasnât exclusive.
She had no desire to return to the past.
Her life was just fine now.
