His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 928:

Mitchell remained silent, but deep down, he knew she was right.

Another long moment passed before he finally said, “I understand.”noveldrama

Even now, he struggled to accept the truth—Kylee had lied to him!

After the call ended, he could do nothing more than sink back into the couch, his face blank.

At the Grand Plains General Hospital, Lucas headed to the hospital to pick up Belinda after work.

“Is something troubling you?” he asked the moment Belinda got into his car.

Belinda turned to him and blinked.

“How did you know?”

Lucas responded, “Since there has been no progress on your side, I assumed you must have encountered some unforeseen difficulties.” Adjusting his demeanor slightly, he leaned in and inquired with genuine curiosity, “What happened?”

Belinda pressed her lips together, a hint of frustration flickering in her eyes as she replied, “I intended to retrieve the parking lot surveillance footage at the Grand Plains General Hospital. But who could have imagined that woman would stoop so low? She had already bribed the personnel in the surveillance room and had the footage erased without a trace. So, right now, I find myself without any means to prove that she attacked me first.”

After a brief pause, Belinda frowned slightly as she continued, “I do possess a recording that can prove she hurled insults at me—quite vile, humiliating things. However, the recording fails to substantiate that she struck me first. If I cannot establish that crucial detail, then I will always be at a disadvantage in this matter.”

Listening intently to Belinda’s words, Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression growing contemplative. For a moment, silence enveloped them as they both processed the situation.

About five minutes later, something seemed to dawn on Lucas. His gaze shifted purposefully in a particular direction, and a faint smile graced his lips.

“I have a solution,” he said.

Upon hearing this, Belinda turned to him.

“What is it?” she asked eagerly.

Lucas did not respond immediately but instead gazed at her intently.

Belinda felt resigned and said, “Just say it—what’s your condition?”

A smile broke across Lucas’ face as he replied, “I want a homemade meal from you.”

Belinda nodded without hesitation.

“Deal! Just tell me what you’re craving, and I’ll head to the supermarket to buy the ingredients right now.”

“Okay,” Lucas agreed with enthusiasm.
