Chapter 605



But then, Baker gave her a look, and she said, “Belinda, since you want this matter to go away, can you ask Mr. Clark to ask the bank to approve your father’s loan?”

Hearing that, Belinda turned to look at Holley. So, this was Baker’s real purpose for coming here today.

Belinda’s demeanor turned cold. “Lucas and I are no longer in a relationship. I have no power over his decisions.”

“How can you say that?” Holley quickly said. “Mr. Clark is only holding up your father’s loan for you—”

“If you know that Lucas is doing this on my behalf, what makes you think I would ask him to stop?” Belinda said, a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Holley froze. She wasn’t expecting Belinda to respond like that.

“Belinda, you…”

“You ungrateful daughter!” Baker exploded, pointing an angry finger at Belinda. “You’re making things harder for me on purpose, aren’t you?”

Belinda chuckled and turned to look at Baker. “You’re finally done pretending, Mr. Wright.”

Baker’s expression froze when he heard that.

Belinda crossed her arms, a slight smile tugging at her lips. “Honestly, Mr. Wright, you’re much more tolerable when you’re angry and fierce like this. That fake, pretentious act from earlier? Absolutely unbearable.”

Baker clenched his jaw, his cheeks puffing with suppressed frustration as he glared at Belinda in silence.

Belinda then shifted her gaze to Holley, her demeanor cooling. “Mom, I said I don’t blame you for what happened, but that doesn’t mean the hurt you caused me has disappeared. So… don’t push your luck. From now on, don’t bring up anything about that incident in front of me. I’m leaving now; you should get some rest.”

Without giving Holley or Baker a chance to respond, Belinda turned and strode out of the room, her heels clicking against the floor with finality.

Baker paced back and forth in the room, fuming with anger, muttering, “That bitch! She is completely out of control! Just because Mr. Clark is favoring her, she thinks she can talk to us like that!”

Holley’s expression mirrored his frustration, her lips pressed into a thin line.

Baker continued, “And Mr. Clark? He’s gone insane! Giving up billions worth of land just to clear Belinda’s name? It’s madness!”

“Billions? That land is worth billions?” Holley’s jaw dropped.

“Yeah! That’s why I said he’s lost his mind!” Baker replied.

Suddenly, Baker thought of something and turned to Holley. “You’d better tread carefully from now on. Someone’s been investigating that car accident. I’m almost certain it’s Mr. Clark’s people.”

Holley’s eyes widened, panic flashing across her face. “Mr. Clark… He won’t find out about anything, right?”
