His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1116:

Upon hearing Sarai’s words, Holley was taken aback. Her eyes widened in stunned disbelief as she stared at Sarai, her voice trembling with a mix of shock and fury.

“What did you just say? You want to sleep with Mr. Clark? Are you out of your mind?”

Her chest heaved rapidly, her anger barely contained as she struggled to process the audacity of Sarai’s words.

Sarai, however, remained calm. She lowered her gaze slightly, her tone almost soothing as she replied, “Holley, I know this is a lot to digest, and that’s fine. I’ll give you some time to think it over. Let’s say… the day after tomorrow. You can give me your answer then.”

Without waiting for a response, she rose gracefully and walked back to her room.

Holley’s face turned red, her hands clenched into fists as she fought the overwhelming urge to lash out. At that moment, she truly wanted to kill Sarai.

Damn it! Why did so many people know her vulnerabilities and come to threaten her? All these people deserved to die!

But as much as she wanted to act on her anger, she knew she needed to talk to Baker about the matter first. His perspective might help her navigate this mess.noveldrama

The following day, Belinda had the day off. After spending the night at the hospital with Kenia, she returned home in the morning to catch up on sleep. At noon, she met Lucas at Triumph Consortium for lunch, and she stayed there as Lucas worked in the afternoon.

Later in the day, they received a call from Harold, inviting them to dinner at the Clark family’s residence. So, once Lucas finished work, they left the office and made their way there.

Belinda, Lucas, and his parents gathered around the table, having dinner. The atmosphere was harmonious.

As they ate, Norma repeatedly filled Belinda’s plate with food, her gestures overflowing with care. With a gentle smile, she said, “Belinda, Harold and I are overjoyed to hear that you are alright. It’s such wonderful news.”

Belinda returned the smile. “Norma, you don’t have to keep putting food on my plate. You can focus on your meal.”

“Alright, alright,” Norma replied with a nod.

The conversation took a serious turn when Harold suddenly asked Lucas, “Have you figured out who instructed Diego to tamper with the report?” At the question, Belinda’s hand holding the fork trembled slightly. She pressed her lips together and turned her gaze toward Lucas, who calmly replied, “I’ve found some clues.”

“Good,” Harold said with a nod.

Norma was visibly angry. “We can’t let the person behind this get away with it! What they did is outrageous!”

Lucas’ lips curved into a faint smile. “Don’t worry. I won’t let the person get away with this.”

After a brief pause, Harold seemed to recall something. He glanced at Belinda before turning to Lucas. “So, when do you two plan to remarry?”

Lucas raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his expression as he looked at Belinda. “That’s up to her. Whenever she wants to marry me, I’m ready.”

The moment the words left his mouth, both Harold and Norma shifted their attention to Belinda, their expectant gazes making her feel the weight of the question. Belinda shot Lucas a quick, exasperated look before smiling at Harold and Norma. “I haven’t really thought about it yet. Things are good as they are; we’re enjoying dating for now. As for remarrying, the moment for that will come naturally.”

Norma glanced at Lucas, noticing the subtle mix of resignation and disappointment on his face. She found it oddly amusing. Her son, who rarely showed vulnerability, seemed genuinely concerned about losing Belinda. It was a side of him she hadn’t seen before.
