Chapter 1102:
Belinda let out an exasperated sigh, rolling her eyes at the sheer absurdity of it.
As ridiculous as it sounded, she had to acknowledge that, to someone like Kane, that might have seemed like an
effective method.
What Kane failed to realize was that Lucas’ devotion to Belinda was unwavering, unshaken by obstacles, and
Lucas’ family wouldn't interfere in his relationship with Belinda.
So, in the end, Kane's efforts were in vain.
“I've already ordered Gordon to investigate Kane,” Lucas stated, his voice laced with resolve. “Hopefully, we'll
uncover something useful.”

Belinda hesitated for a moment before saying, “And what if we find nothing? Just because the IP address leads to
Griyh Crait doesn’t necessarily prove Kane was behind this.”
Lucas suddenly let out a cold chuckle. “So what if there's no evidence? As long as | believe he’s responsible,
that’s all that matters.”
Belinda fell silent.
After a moment of hesitation, she said, “Lucas, there's something I've never fully understood. Why does Kane
harbor such deep resentment toward you?” She only knew that Kane hated Lucas, but she had no idea why.
Lucas had never divulged any details about it to her before, as their relationship had been complicated in the
past.
And as for Harold... He must have been deeply troubled by the rift between his sons. Belinda had never wanted
to add to his pain by asking him about the matter.
It was only now that she brought up the question.

At the mention of that, Lucas’ expression shifted slightly, a shadow flickering in his eyes.
Seeing that, Belinda quickly added, “If it’s something you'd rather not discuss, then—"
Before she could finish, Lucas interjected, “It’s not that.”
He met her gaze steadily and drew in a slow breath as if bracing himself.
Lucas took a deep breath before saying, “As you already know, Kane and | don’t share the smother. Kane's
mother was the woman my father was forced to marry due to an arranged marriage, but he never loved her.
Fate, however, had other plans—my father eventually crossed paths with my mother and fell deeply in love with
her. By then, though, he was already a married man with two children.”

After a pause, he continued, “Determined to be with the woman he truly loved, my father asked Kane's mother
for a divorce, but she refused outright. The situation reached an impasse. Then, just weeks later, Kane's mother
was diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer. The prognosis was grim—it was already too advanced when they
discovered it. Kane was convinced that the stress from the divorce talks had exacerbated her illness. He was
young and devastated, unable to accept the reality of the situation.”
His tone turned serious. “The doctors estimated that she had around six months left, but Kane's mother barely
made it to three before passing away. Kane, blinded by grief and resentment, becobsessed with the idea
that my father and mother had caused his mother’s death. He even accused my mother of manipulating my
father and claimed that they had someone tamper with his mother’s medication to hasten her death.”
Lucas let out a cold chuckle. “The irony is that, at that time, my mother had no interest in my father at all. She
never even entertained the thought of being with him. Yet, Kane refused to believe anything else. Even after his
mother passed, my father had to spend three years proving his love and sincerity before my mother finally
agreed to marry him.”
