His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1060:

Darwin’s pupils contracted slightly.

Why was Lucas here?

Noticing Darwin, Lucas raised his eyebrows in mild surprise.

Reaching the bottom of the stairs, he walked over to Belinda and asked, “When did you get up? I didn’t see you when I woke up.”noveldrama

Darwin’s expression shifted dramatically when he heard that.

He immediately grasped the implication of Lucas’ words…

Lucas and Belinda had spent the night together.

Belinda knew Lucas was deliberately saying this in front of Darwin.

She shot him a resigned look but played along, replying, “I got up not too long ago. You were sleeping so soundly; I didn’t want to wake you.”

Lucas’ smile widened; he was clearly satisfied with Belinda’s words. He announced, “You two chat. I’m going to grab something to eat.”

Before leaving, he leaned in and gently kissed Belinda’s forehead.

This gesture caused Darwin’s expression to turn dark, his breath quickening.

It took Darwin quite some time before he could gather himself enough to speak.

“Ms. Wright, you and Mr. Clark… Are the two of you back together?” he asked.

Belinda met his gaze steadily and, without hesitation, nodded. “Yes.”

Darwin’s face paled slightly.

He hadn’t expected them to get back together so quickly.

The realization struck him like a blow to the chest. He was unable to accept this.

Belinda, noticing his prolonged silence and the way he simply stared at her, called his name softly, “Mr. Lambert?”

Her voice jolted Darwin back to reality.

Clearing his throat awkwardly, he forced a smile. “Oh, it’s just… I didn’t expect that. It caught me off guard.”

Belinda offered a small, polite smile in return.

After a brief pause, Darwin took a deep breath, regaining his composure. “The reason I came here today is I suddenly thought of something. Before Minna passed away, I met with her at the Burke estate. She confided in me that her father had an illegitimate child and had already drafted a will, leaving ninety percent of his wealth to that child.”

After a pause, he continued, “However, after conducting an investigation, I found no evidence of such a will. Her father never wrote one. That means the document Minna saw must have been fabricated.”

Hearing this, Belinda was momentarily surprised.

After a brief silence, she pieced the puzzle together, saying, “That explains why Minna showed complete indifference toward the Williamson family’s fate. The mastermind behind this must have orchestrated everything. They feared that Minna might waver out of loyalty to her father and expose the truth, so they planted false evidence to drive a wedge between Minna and her father.”

“That’s what I believe as well,” Darwin said with a frustrated sigh. “But I have been investigating for some time now and haven’t found a single lead on who’s behind all this.”

Belinda pressed her lips together in thought. “We haven’t had much luck either. Whoever is behind this is exceptionally cautious. They’ve covered their tracks so well that tracking them down has proven nearly impossible.”

Darwin met her gaze, his expression resolute. “No matter how careful they are…”

“I won’t stop until I find them. Minna’s matter started because of me. I have an obligation to bring the truth to light. Ms. Wright, I just need more time.”
