His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1115:

Holley’s heart hammered harder. There was no doubt now; Sarai had indeed seen it. Yet, Holley believed she had no choice but to keep denying it.

Maintaining her composed smile, Holley said, “Sarai, you are really mistaken.”

Sarai brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, her demeanor unshaken. “Holley, I’m certain of what I saw. But if you want to keep denying it, that’s fine. I won’t push you. However, I’ll be calling Belinda later to share this with her. Let’s see if she remembers anything about being injected as a child.”

She paused, then added with a faint smile, “Oh, and Holley, I should also mention, it wasn’t just once. I saw it happen about four times. Once might be a mistake, but multiple times? Surely, I wasn’t mistaken.” Her words were a clear threat.

Holley’s mask of calm finally cracked. This couldn’t come to light. If Belinda or Lucas found out that she had once injected something into Belinda, their first thought would undoubtedly be hormones. And if that happened, it would be all over for her. There was no way she could explain that away.

Even if she continued to deny it and claimed Sarai was wrong, the mere suggestion would plant a seed of doubt in Belinda’s and Lucas’ minds. The risk was too great. She couldn’t let that happen.

Drawing a sharp breath, Holley locked eyes with Sarai, her gaze cold and piercing. Her voice was strained, each word clipped. “Name your price. What will it take for you to keep your mouth shut?”

This meant she was giving in.

Sarai’s lips curled into a faint smirk as she raised an eyebrow at Holley.

“So, Holley, you’re not denying it anymore?” she asked.

Holley’s expression darkened, her anger flaring as she snapped, “Enough with this! Just say what you want! What exactly are you after?”

Sarai paused, pressing her lips together briefly before responding, “Holley, there’s something I’ve kept from you and Kenia all this time. The truth is… I’m in love with Mr. Clark, too.”

Holley’s eyes widened in shock when she heard that.

“You… You’re in love with Mr. Clark?” she stammered, her mind reeling.

Internally, she seethed, cursing Sarai for her audacity. How could someone like Sarai, who lacked both looks and status, dare to set her sights on Lucas? Sarai wanted to compete with Kylee for Lucas’ affection? How dare she!

Sarai nodded firmly, her voice steady. “Yes, I love him.”

Holley’s voice sharpened as she demanded, “So what? What does that have to do with me?”

Sarai met her gaze head-on, her tone calculated. “Now that Mr. Clark is back with Belinda, and you’re Belinda’s mother, he’s bound to show you some level of respect. My request isn’t unreasonable. All I’m asking is for your discreet assistance in helping me achieve my goal.”

She emphasized the last few words, letting them linger in the air.

Holley let out a mocking laugh. “Your goal? Don’t tell me you actually think you can marry Mr. Clark?”

Sarai shook her head. “I’m not delusional. I know marriage is out of the question—for now, at least. So… my goal is simpler. I just want to spend one night with him.”

Her plan was straightforward. If she could share a night with Lucas, she was certain she could captivate him. She believed her skills in the bedroom would leave him craving more, and from there, she could slowly make him unable to leave her.noveldrama

Seduction was her strategy, but she knew she couldn’t do it alone.

That was why, after overhearing Holley and Kenia’s conversation, Sarai realized her opportunity had finally arrived.
