His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 474:noveldrama

When Belinda heard Lucas’ words, her pupils constricted sharply, and her heart skipped a beat. But she quickly regained her composure.

She lowered her gaze, her long lashes hiding the storm brewing behind her eyes. Her lips parted slightly as she spoke calmly and firmly, “Lucas, you no longer have the right to dictate my choices. The moment we divorced, you forfeited any right to interfere in my life.”

With that, she pushed him away. Without waiting for his response or even sparing him a glance, Belinda turned and walked away decisively. She moved swiftly, as though fleeing the scene.

Watching her hurry away, Lucas closed his eyes, a dull ache spreading through his chest.

At the Thomas family’s residence, Belinda openly shared the night’s events with Mollie.

“What?” Mollie exclaimed, her face contorting with disbelief.

The expressions of Mollie, Santino, and Darren all darkened immediately.

“That Morse! Has he completely lost his senses?” Darren said angrily.

“That vile man! How dare he do something like that?” Santino’s face twisted in fury.

Mollie’s emotions were a tangled mess of rage and fear. Her eyes were rimmed with red, and as she looked at Belinda, she spoke through trembling lips. “Belinda, this is my fault. I didn’t vet him properly before introducing him to you. I almost caused a catastrophe. Thank goodness you’re safe, or… ” Her voice faltered, tears brimming in her eyes.

Belinda gently placed an arm around Mollie, offering comfort. “Mollie, you can’t blame yourself for this. Some people are experts at deceit. It’s possible Morse has been pretending to be the perfect gentleman in front of his elders.”

“Don’t worry, Belinda,” Mollie said with resolve, holding her hand. “I’ll make sure justice is served.”

“Okay,” Belinda nodded, feeling reassured.

After her brief conversation with Mollie and the others, Belinda retreated to her room. Her thoughts were in disarray, and she needed solitude to find her calm.

Shortly after, when Lucas returned to the Clark family’s residence, his phone rang.

“Hello?” Lucas answered the call, his tone icy.

“Mr. Clark, Morse was taken to the hospital by the police. After a series of emergency treatments, the drug in his system still hasn’t worn off. The doctors believe the only way for it to clear is if Morse has sex with someone,” Gordon said cautiously.

Lucas’ face darkened instantly when he heard that. Even through the phone, Gordon could sense Lucas’ intimidating aura.

Moments later, however, Lucas let out a laugh. With a composed voice, he issued instructions to Gordon.
