Chapter 668



Lucas’ statement had indeed shocked him for a moment. He considered Lucas to be arrogant, domineering, and full of himself—clearly not someone who grasped the true essence of love.

He thought Lucas’ inability to accept Belinda seeing someone else stemmed from his deep-seated possessiveness. Lucas viewed Belinda as his former wife, and the idea of her with another man was intolerable to him. Yet, he now realized that he had been wrong about Lucas. Despite this, he was resolute in not backing down. Previously, he had repressed his feelings for Belinda due to her marital status.

Now, there was no way he would give up.

Holding that resolve, Devin locked eyes with Lucas and replied resolutely, “Nevertheless, I’m entitled to compete with you on equal footing.”

At these words, Lucas seethed with rage but had to suppress his fury.

Devin was correct—he did have the right to a fair competition.

The ultimate choice would be up to Belinda.

Neither of them had the authority to decide for her.

He was confident he wouldn’t be defeated by Devin!

Lucas turned and walked away without another word.

When he returned to his table, his expression was cold. Johnson and Vincent exchanged a look, their eyes brimming with curiosity.

Curiosity lingered about the topics Lucas and Devin had discussed.

Shortly after, Devin and Belinda left the restaurant together.

Seeing that, Lucas followed them without a second thought.

Exhaling in resignation, Johnson said to Vincent, “Had Lucas treated Belinda better right from the start, none of this would’ve happened.”

With a gentle laugh, Vincent said, “Think of it this way—it’s like fate is testing Lucas. Plus, had he not learned to understand love properly, Belinda probably wouldn’t have been content with him. Perhaps things are unfolding as they should now.”

After considering Vincent’s perspective, Johnson slightly nodded and said, “You make a good point. Let’s leave.”

Belinda left the restaurant and drove directly to her home.

On her way, she noticed a luxury car tailing her.

A slight frown formed on her face, but she averted her eyes and continued on her way.

As she approached her house, Lucas abruptly sped up, pulling his car in front of hers and effectively blocking her path.

Belinda was forced to bring her car to a halt.

Lucas emerged from the driver’s side of the luxury car. He made his way toward Belinda’s car and positioned himself near it.
