NovelUpdateChapter 1163:
Belinda could barely even remember what Holley had been like when she had still cared for her as a mother.
Over the years, Holley had slowly transformed into someone completely different.
Belinda had never imagined that her own mother would conspire with an outsider to schagainst the man
she loved. And for what? Just to keep her sordid secret hidden?
Belinda let out a small, bitter laugh.
She felt it was all so absurd.
How had her mother becsuch a person?
“Don’t torment yourself over someone like Holley. She's not worth it.”
Lucas knew all too well the pain that Belinda was going through.

His brows furrowed tightly, his heart aching for her.
“I just need stto process my emotions,” Belinda said with a sniffle. “After tonight, | won't be sad
anymore. I'll change my perspective.”
“Okay.” Lucas said nothing more and just ran his hands down her back in soothing strokes.
After a while, Belinda pulled back and looked at him. “Are you okay? Did Sarai manage to do anything to you?”
A look of disgust flashed across Lucas’ handsface at the mention of Sarai.
“No. She just helpedinto the room and tried to take off my clothes, saying that she wanted to givea
massage.”

Belinda’s expression turned dark.
She hadn’t expected Sarai to be so shameless!
It was a good thing they had learned of Sarai and Holley’s plan beforehand, or Sarai might have succeeded.
The thought sparked Belinda’s rage anew.
Later, Holley sent Belinda a message, saying that she would be keeping watch over Kenia for the night.
So Belinda went home.
Lucas slept beside her.
But despite this, Belinda kept tossing and turning in bed for a long time, struggling to fall asleep.
The next day, she didn't have work, so she freshened up and headed to the hospital to see Kenia.
By the tBelinda arrived at Kenia’s hospital room, Holley was gone. The caregiver was the only one there with
Kenia.

Kenia sent the caregiver away and waited for Belinda to settle into a chair before asking, “What happened last
night?”
Belinda was momentarily shocked by Kenia’s unexpected question.
She blinked, composing herself before responding, “Nothing happened, Grandma. Why would you ask that all of
a sudden?”
Kenia wasted no tgetting to the heart of the matter. “Last night, Sarai toldshe landed an excellent job
opportunity in Soling. The only drawback is that she’ll have to stay there for an extended period. She mentioned
she likely won't be able to visitfor quite stime.”
When Belinda heard that, a flicker of emotion crossed her eyes. “Oh, that’s right! Sarai did bring it up during
dinner. It's a fantastic opportunity, really. Even Lucas knows about the company—apparently, they require
employees to commit to long-term residency.”
Kenia shook her head, her skepticism evident. “Something doesn’t add up. | know Sarai’s capabilities. Since
graduating, she has barely had any work experience. How could she suddenly secure such a promising position?
And when she spoke toabout it yesterday, her eyes were red and swollen—she had clearly been crying. If
this job was truly such an incredible opportunity, why would she cry?”
