“Now, | am afraid we can’t carry on with our plan,” Percy said. He didn’t have the courage to do anything to
Lucas’ wife.
Debra scowled and then muttered, “Damn, it’s so aggravating! We had the perfect chance! Why does Belinda
have to be Mr. Clark’s wife?”
After a momentary pause, she added, “Now, getting Belinda to marry you and strengthening our ties with the
head of the Thomas family is impossible. Yet, we shouldn't completely give up on getting close to Belinda.”
“Fostering a positive relationship with her could still prove advantageous to us.”
Percy was on the verge of agreeing when a thought struck him. “However, considering our last encounter,
Belinda is suspicious of us now. We may not find it so simple to ask her to hang out with us in private from now
on.”

Debra’s eyes narrowed as she responded in a low voice, “We'll find a way to do that.”
Hearing that, Percy fell silent.
In the living room of the Thomas family’s residence, Mollie's voice carried a tone of disbelief when she heard
Belinda’s words. “Really? You two got a divorce?”
Darren, sitting beside her, furrowed his brow in concern.
“Was it your decision or Lucas’?” Mollie asked sternly. She believed the answer to this question was crucial.
“I made the decision,” Belinda replied calmly.

At this, Mollie's features softened slightly. “That's a bit better.”
“Did the particular incident this tprompt you to end things with Lucas?” Darren asked, his concern evident.
Belinda gently shook her head. “No, it wasn’t just because of one incident. There were many problems that
gradually eroded my hope for the relationship with Lucas. That's why | chose to end our marriage.”
After a brief pause, she continued in a calm voice, “It was a well-considered decision.” Her expression betrayed
NO SOIToW.
Belinda slightly pursed her lips for a moment, then looked towards Mollie. “Mollie, do you recall our conversation
over the phone that day?”
Caught off guard, Mollie paused. Then, she smiled slightly and asked, “So, do you feel that being with Lucas
brought you more sadness than joy? Is that what led to your decision?”
“Yeah.” Belinda gave a small nod. “I must confess that | still haven't completely let go of Lucas. His actions and

eventually, I'll let go of him entirely.”
Despite her composed delivery, Belinda felt a pang in her heart and a prickling in her nose.
Mollie and Darren exchanged glances after hearing Belinda’s words.
After a moment, Mollie spoke up. “You've already made your decision, and we will support you. After all, Lucas is
just one man. There's no shortage of men out there! | believe you are bound to meet someone far better than
Lucas!”
Darren nodded in agreement. “Absolutely! With Belinda’s qualities, there's no way she won't find someone better
than Lucas!”
Pausing briefly, Mollie added, “Now that Belinda is single, we should set up sblind dates for her! I'll get
someone to compile a list first thing tomorrow.”
