His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1120:

Now, it all made sense. No wonder Harold had resisted the idea of Lucas and Verena being together. He had gone so far as to have Verena kidnapped and locked away for three years to keep her away from Lucas. It wasn’t just blind opposition. There had been a reason all along. Kane just hadn’t understood it at that time.

Because he had believed, foolishly, that he had been meticulous in covering his tracks.

Harold’s firm voice rang out once more. “And now, you’ve turned your sights on Belinda, haven’t you? Because you think that hurting her will break Lucas. But I’ll give you one last warning—turn back while you still can. Belinda is not Verena. She is the person Lucas cares about the most. If anyone dares to harm her, Lucas will ensure they suffer a fate far worse than death.”

Kane’s pupils contracted suddenly when he heard that.

Before Kane could utter a word, Harold interjected, “The damage to your assets is merely a warning from Lucas—a subtle reminder. But if you don’t stop, his next move won’t be nearly as forgiving. You better consider this carefully!” He shot Kane a pointed look before turning on his heel and walking away without a backward glance.

Kane’s expression darkened, his features hardening with the weight of the situation. This was turning into an even bigger mess than he had anticipated. What shocked him the most was that Harold actually knew the truth about his relationship with Verena. No wonder Harold had been so determined not to let Verena marry Lucas. If that was the case, then even if Lucas fell for Verena and wanted to marry her, Harold would never agree to the marriage.noveldrama

In fact, Kane believed Harold might go so far as to expose the truth about his relationship with Verena to Lucas to stop him from marrying her. That would be a disaster. He couldn’t let that happen. He had to figure out a way to handle this before everything spiraled out of control. Otherwise, no matter what he tried, it would all be meaningless in the end.

Damn Harold! Why did he have to interfere? A cold glint flickered in Kane’s eyes.

At Belinda’s place.

Back in the room, Lucas turned to Belinda. “You’ve seemed distracted ever since we arrived. Is Kane still on your mind?”

Seated on the sofa, Belinda gave a faint nod. “Yes. I can’t help but think about Harold. He’s the one caught in the middle of this mess between you and Kane. It’s tearing him apart.”

She sighed heavily, her thoughts lingering on Harold, who cherished both his sons equally yet found himself trapped in an impossible situation. No matter which side he took, he would be in the wrong.

Lucas let out a cold chuckle. “Kane brought everything on himself. If he wants to play this game, I’m not stepping back. He needs to understand I won’t be pushed around. If I don’t stand my ground now, he’ll only push me further.”

Belinda nodded in agreement. “You’re right.”

“Let’s not dwell on this anymore,” Lucas said, shifting the conversation. “By the way, Baker has been digging into the matters about your childhood recently.”

“Baker?” Belinda’s eyebrows lifted in surprise.

Lucas nodded. “Yes. He’s likely looking into the hormonal issues you faced as a child.”

Belinda’s expression remained calm, but her mind raced. She couldn’t fathom why Baker would suddenly take an interest in that. If this was some belated attempt to show concern for her, she wasn’t buying it.

Curious, she decided to probe further. “Since we’re on the topic, did you find anything unusual about my childhood?” she asked.

Lucas’s demeanor grew serious. “The most suspicious figure we uncovered was Lamont Chadwick, the pediatrician who handled your check-ups at the time. He was clearly bribed. We thought he might be a key lead, but when we looked into him, we discovered he had died several years ago.”
